Information Reporting Regarding Qualified Opportunity Zones and Updated Qualified Opportunity Fund Certification and Decertification Procedures

This document contains proposed regulations that would implement new statutory requirements for qualified opportunity funds to file information returns with the IRS and furnish statements to investors who dispose of investments in those entities and for qualified opportunity zone businesses to furnish statements to qualified opportunity funds that hold interests in them. These proposed regulations would also clarify the applicability of penalties for the failure to file or furnish these information returns and statements. Finally, these proposed regulations would clarify the qualified opportunity fund self-certification rules and provide procedures for qualified opportunity funds to revoke inadvertent certifications or voluntarily decertify.
