These previously approved regulations
provide guidance on the treatment of self-charged items of income
and expense under section 469. The regulations recharacterize a
percentage of certain portfolio income and expense as passive
income and expense (self-charged items) when a taxpayer engages in
a lending transaction with a partnership or an S corporation
(passthrough entity) in which the taxpayer owns a direct or
indirect interest and the loan proceeds are used in a passive
activity. Similar rules apply to lending transactions between two
identically owned passthrough entities. These final regulations
affect taxpayers subject to the limitations on passive activity
losses and credits.
US Code:
26
USC 469 Name of Law: Passive activity losses and credits
limited.
