When and How To File
Form 926 (and the additional information required under Regulations section 1.6038B-1(c) and Temporary Regulations sections 1.6038B-1T(c)(1) through (5) and 1.6038B-1T(d)) must be filed with the U.S. transferor's income tax return for the tax year that includes the date of the transfer.

General Instructions
Purpose of Form
Use Form 926 to report certain transfers of tangible or intangible property to a foreign corporation required by section 6038B.

Other Forms That May Be Required
Persons filing this form may be required to file Form TD F 90-22.1, Report of Foreign Bank and Financial Accounts. A U.S. transferor that is required to enter into a gain recognition agreement under section 367 to qualify for nonrecognition treatment must file Form 8838, Consent To Extend the Time To Assess Tax Under Section 367 -- Gain Recognition Agreement, or a similar statement, to extend the statute of limitations with respect to the gain realized but not recognized on the transfer.

Who Must File
Generally, a U.S. citizen or resident, a domestic corporation, or a domestic estate or trust must complete and file Form 926 to report certain transfers of property to a foreign corporation that are described in section 6038B(a)(1)(A), 367(d), or 367(e). See section 6038B, and Regulations sections 1.6038B-1 and 1.6038B-1T for more information.

Penalties for Failure to File
If a taxpayer fails to comply with section 6038B, the penalty equals 10% of the fair market value of the property at the time of the transfer. The penalty will not apply if the failure to comply is due to reasonable cause and not to willful neglect. The penalty is limited to $100,000 unless the failure to comply was due to intentional disregard. Moreover, the period of limitations for assessment of tax upon the transfer of that property is extended to the date that is 3 years after the date on which the information required to be reported is provided.

Special Rules

· Transfers by a partnership. If the

transferor is a partnership (domestic or foreign), the domestic partners of the partnership, not the partnership itself, are required to comply with section 6038B and file Form 926. Each domestic partner is treated as a transferor of its proportionate share of the property. See the instructions for line 2 for additional information. · Transfers by a husband and wife. A husband and wife may file Form 926 jointly, but only if they file a joint income tax return. · Transfers of cash. A U.S. person that transfers cash to a foreign corporation must report the transfer on Form 926 if (a) immediately after the transfer the person holds directly or indirectly at least 10% of the total voting power or the total value of the foreign corporation or (b) the amount of cash transferred by the person to the foreign corporation during the 12-month period ending on the date of the transfer exceeds $100,000. See Regulations section 1.6038B-1(b)(3).
