Revenue Procedure 2002-23 provides guidance for the application by U.S. citizens and residents of the U.S. - Canada Income Tax Treaty, as amended by the 1995 protocol, in order to defer U.S. income taxes on income accrued in certain Canadian retirement plans. This revenue procedure was superseded by Revenue Procedure 2014-55, published in the Internal Revenue Bulletin dated October 27, 2014.
US Code:
26 USC 6103
Name of Law: Confidentiality and disclosure of returns and return information
Rev. Proc. 2014-55 superseded Rev. Proc. 2002-23. This new revenue procedure indicates an eligible individual who did not previously make an election under Article XVIII(7) of the Convention to defer current U.S. income taxation on the undistributed income of a Canadian retirement plan will be treated as having made the election in the first year in which the individual would have been entitled to elect the benefits under Article XVIII(7) with respect to the plan. Consequently, such eligible individual will not be required to make the election for that first year or for any subsequent years either on Form 8891 or under the procedures set forth in Revenue Procedure 2002-23. Burden estimates reflect the change in the requirement of this election changing from first-time and annual to a first-time only election.
