    SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

    Title: Treatment of Dual Consolidated Losses.

    OMB Number: 1545-1083.

    Regulation Project Number: TD 8434.

    Abstract: Internal Revenue Code section 1503(d) denies use of the losses of one domestic corporation by another affiliated domestic corporation where the loss corporation is also subject to the income tax of another country. This regulation allows an affiliate to make use of the loss if the loss has not been used in the foreign country and if an agreement is attached to the income tax return of the dual resident corporation or group, to take the loss into income upon future use of the loss in the foreign country. The regulation also requires separate accounting for a dual consolidated loss where the dual resident corporation files a consolidated return.

    Current Actions: There is no change to this existing regulation.

    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.

    Affected Public: Business or other for-profit organizations.

    Estimated Number of Respondents: 500.

    Estimated Number of Responses: 896.

    Estimated Time per Response: 1 hr., 49 minutes.

    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 1,620.
