Summary

In the Rules and Regulations section of this issue of the Federal Register, the IRS is issuing temporary regulations pursuant to the regulatory authority granted under sections 3131, 3132, and 3134 of the Internal Revenue Code, added by sections 9641 and 9651 of the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021, to prescribe regulations as may be necessary for recapturing the benefit of the employment tax credits provided under these sections when necessary and to prevent the avoidance of the purposes of the limitations under these sections. These proposed regulations affect businesses and tax-exempt organizations, as well as certain governmental entities, that claim the paid sick leave credit and the paid family leave credit under sections 3131 and 3132, respectively, and that claim the employee retention credit under section 3134. The text of those temporary regulations serves as the text of these proposed regulations.
