RE: Comments on Notice 2018-68: Guidance on the Application of Section 162(m)

Dear Mr. Enkishev:

The U.S. Chamber of Commerce appreciates the opportunity to provide feedback on Notice 2018-68, guidance on the application of section 162(m), as published in the Internal Revenue Bulletin on September 4, 2018.

The attached chart identifies issues arising under Notice 2018-68 and provides suggested solutions as well as any additional explanation the Chamber believes would be helpful in addressing the issue. This feedback is the product of extensive conversations with a very wide array of impacted Chamber members. These comments may be considered as representing some of the most serious issues, but are not all the issues concerning Chamber members on Notice 2018-68.

Sincerely,

Caroline L. Harris
