Memphis CSCO
On December 22, 2017, section 965 of the
Code (section 965) was amended. As a

by the Commissioner), then the transfer
agreement may be rejected as of the date
of the original acceleration event.
In addition, both the eligible section
965(h) transferor and the eligible section

covered acceleration event occurs, filed
by the due date for the returns (with regard
to any extension of time to file).
Taxpayers may make an election under
section 965(h) to pay the section 965(h)
net tax liability (as defined later in these
instructions) in installments over a term of
8 years. However, if an acceleration event
(as defined in section 965(h)(3) and
Regulations section 1.965-7(b)(3)) occurs,
the unpaid portion of all remaining
installments is generally due on the date of
the acceleration event. If a covered
acceleration event (as defined below)
occurs, such event will not be considered
to accelerate payment of the section
965(h) net tax liability if the transferee
enters into an agreement to be liable for
the remaining installments due on the
liability in the same manner as if such
transferee were the original electing
taxpayer.

Notice
We ask for the information on this form to

amount of tax.

section 965(h) transferee is a factor the
Commissioner uses to determine whether
the eligible section 965(h) transferee has
the ability to pay the outstanding section
965(h) net tax liability. A leverage ratio in
excess of three to one does not by itself
determine whether or not a transfer
agreement is valid.
