Abstract:
The final revenue recognition regulations under Internal Revenue Code Section 451 (effective for tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2021, with early implementation options), along with the companion procedural guidance, provide both tax planning opportunities and implementation hurdles for taxpayers. The authors explain the new rules and note the issues taxpayers will need to address to determine how to properly apply the new rules to their particular situations, balancing potential tax benefits against administrative complexity.Keywords: IRC Section 451, T.D. 9941, Rev.
