Dear ---:
This letter responds to a letter dated June 5, 2025, submitted on behalf of Taxpayer (the successor within the meaning of section 381(a)(1) of Former Parent), Corp1, and the successors to Former Members (Successors) (sometimes hereinafter, collectively, the “Parties”), requesting an extension of time under §301.9100-3 of the Procedure and Administration Regulations to file an election. The Parties are requesting an extension of time to file an election under §1.1502-95(c) of the Income Tax Regulations to apportion all or any part of a consolidated section 382 limitation to Corp1 and Former Members (the “Election”). The material information submitted for consideration is summarized below.
Former Parent was the common parent of a consolidated group that included Corp1 and
Former Members (“the Former Parent Group”). As a result of a transaction on Date 1,
Corp1 and Former Members ceased to be members of the Former Parent Group. At that time, the Former Parent Group had a consolidated section 382 limitation.
Under §1.1502-95(c), the common parent of a consolidated group may elect to apportion all or any part of a consolidated section 382 limitation to a former member (or loss subgroup) as well as all or any part of the loss group’s net unrealized built-in gain to a former member (or loss subgroup). The election is made pursuant to §1.1502-95(f). Section 1.1502-95(f)(3) provides, in general, that the election statement under §1.1502-95(f)(1)(i) must be filed by the common parent on or with its income tax return for the taxable year in which the former member (or new loss subgroup) ceases to be a member, and an identical statement must be included on or with the first return of the former member (or the first return in which the former member, or the members of a new loss subgroup, join) that is filed after the close of the consolidated return year of the group of which the former member (or the members of a new loss subgroup) ceases to be a member.
For various reasons, the Election was not made in a timely manner. The Parties have represented that they are not seeking to alter a return position for which an accuracyrelated penalty has been or could have been imposed under section 6662.
Under §301.9100-1(c), the Commissioner has discretion to grant a reasonable extension of time to make a regulatory election, or a statutory election (but no more than six months except in the case of a taxpayer who is abroad), under all subtitles of the Code except subtitles E, G, H, and I.
Sections 301.9100-1 through 301.9100-3 provide the standards the Commissioner will use to determine whether to grant an extension of time to make a regulatory election.
Section 301.9100-1(a). Section 301.9100-2 provides automatic extensions of time for making certain elections. Requests for relief under §301.9100-3 will be granted when the taxpayer provides evidence to establish to the satisfaction of the Commissioner that PLR-111479-25 4 the taxpayer acted reasonably and in good faith, and that granting relief will not prejudice the interests of the government. Section 301.9100-3(a).
In this case, the time for filing the Election is fixed by regulations (i.e., §1.1502-95(f)(3)).
Therefore, the Commissioner has discretionary authority under §301.9100-3 to grant an extension of time to file the Election, provided the Parties show that their actions were reasonable and in good faith, the requirements of §§301.9100-1 and 301.9100-3 are satisfied, and that granting relief will not prejudice the interests of the government.
Information, affidavits, and representations submitted by the Parties, Company Official and Tax Professional explain the circumstances that resulted in the failure to timely file the Election. The submission establishes that the request for relief was filed before the failure to make the Election was discovered by the Internal Revenue Service. See §301.9100-3(b)(1)(i).
Based on the facts and information submitted, including the representations made, we conclude that the Parties have shown they acted reasonably and in good faith, the requirements of §§301.9100-1 and 301.9100-3 are satisfied, and granting relief will not prejudice the interests of the government. Accordingly, an extension of time is granted under §301.9100-3, until 75 days from the date on this letter, for the Election to be filed.
Following the requirements of §1.1502-95(f), the appropriate returns should be amended to attach the Election. A copy of this letter must be attached to the returns.
Alternatively, the requirement of attaching a copy of this letter to the returns may be satisfied by attaching a statement to the returns that provides the date on, and control number (PLR-111479-25) of, this letter ruling.
The above extension of time is conditioned on the taxpayers’ tax liability (if any) not being lower, in the aggregate, for all years to which the Election applies, than it would have been if the Election had been timely made (taking into account the time value of money). No opinion is expressed as to the taxpayers’ tax liability for the years involved.
A determination thereof will be made upon audit of the federal income tax returns involved.
Except as expressly provided herein, no opinion is expressed or implied concerning the tax consequences of any aspect of any transaction or item discussed or referenced in this letter. In addition, we express no opinion as to the tax effects or consequences of filing the Election late under the provisions of any other section of the Code or regulations, or as to the tax treatment of any conditions existing at the time of, or effects resulting from, filing the Election late that are not specifically set forth in the above ruling.
For purposes of granting relief under §301.9100-3, we relied on certain statements and representations made by the Parties, Company Official, and Tax Professional under penalties of perjury. However, the Director should verify all essential facts. In addition, PLR-111479-25 5 notwithstanding that an extension is granted under §301.9100-3 to file the Election, penalties and interest that would otherwise be applicable, if any, continue to apply.
This ruling is directed only to the taxpayers requesting it. Section 6110(k)(3) of the
Code provides that it may not be used or cited as precedent.
In accordance with the Power of Attorney on file with this office, copies of this letter are being sent to your authorized representatives.
Sincerely,
____
