L2: ? on writing a private letter rulingCan you tell me who to write the private letter ruling to?
Private letter ruling requests go to the Assistant General Counsel’s office in Washington, DC.See Rev. Proc. 2003-4.
Is there a cost for it?
Yes, if your 2002 gross income is under $200,000; then the filing fee is $600. If over $200,000; the filing fee is approx. $2450.
would it be better to have my accountant write it for me?
Would you do brain surgery on yourself? A PLR request is literally the making of law one taxpayer at a time. A PLR request, therefore looks not unlike a legal brief and tends to rather lengthy; usually 20 pages minimum and running into the hundreds for complex issues.
How do i write it and what do i put in it?
See Rev. Proc 2003-4 (approx 180 pages unto itself) gives you all the rules & requirements for filing a PLR.
