Abstract: The regulations provide guidance on the requirement under section 6112 to maintain a list of investors in potentially abusive tax shelters. As per Regulations section 301.6112-1(b)(1), the form provides material advisors a format for preparing and maintaining the itemized statement component of the list with respect to a reportable transaction. This form contains space for all of the elements required by Regulations section 301.6112-1(b)(3)(i). Material advisors may use this form as a template for creating a similar form on a software program used by the material advisor. If a material advisor is required to maintain a list under a prior version of the regulations, this Form may be modified or a similar form containing all the information required under the prior version of the regulations may be created and used.
