Inside This Issue


Revenue Procedure 2012-27 provides guidance on how a taxpayer may make the notification required by § 42(j)(6)(B)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code which was added by section 3004(c) of the Housing Assistance Tax Act of 2008 (Pub. L. 110-289).  The notification is required to begin the 3-year statutory period for assessing a deficiency with respect to the taxpayer resulting from a reduction in the qualified basis of a low-income housing tax credit building that occurs after the taxpayer disposes of the building (or an interest therein).
