On Tuesday, January 26, 2010, the IRS Commissioner announced a
proposal regarding "disclosing uncertain tax positions" (FIN 48). The
proposal would apply only to business taxpayers with total assets over
$10 million, and which have a financial statement prepared under FASB
interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes. It
would not apply to individuals. The IRS comment period is open until
March 29, 2010, and the proposal is not yet effective.
