May 11, 2016 Publication of 457(f) guidance a question of “weeks, not months”

According to Carol Weiser, Treasury deputy benefits tax counsel, the IRS’s guidance on tax-exempt deferred compensation, which has been in the works for 9 years, is “weeks, not months” away.

Stephen Tackney, deputy associate chief counsel, stated, “We’re kind of at the end of the assembly line, [but] they can always be plucked off the assembly line.” According to Tackney, most of the guidance should be taxpayer friendly, although a few issues could generate comments.

Once the guidance is out, there will be a comment period before the regulations are finalized.
