Part II Selection of Fiscal Tax Year (see instructions)
Note: All corporations using this part must complete item O and item P, Q, or R.

A new corporation adopting the tax year entered in item F, Part I.
2.
An existing corporation retaining the tax year entered in item F, Part I.
3.
An existing corporation changing to the tax year entered in item F, Part I.
P
Complete item P if the corporation is using the automatic approval provisions of Rev. Proc. 2006-46, 2006-45 I.R.B. 859, to
request (1) a natural business year (as defined in section 5.07 of Rev. Proc. 2006-46) or (2) a year that satisfies the ownership
tax year test (as defined in section 5.08 of Rev. Proc. 2006-46). Check the applicable box below to indicate the representation
statement the corporation is making.
1. Natural Business Year
▶
I represent that the corporation is adopting, retaining, or changing to a tax year that qualifies
as its natural business year (as defined in section 5.07 of Rev. Proc. 2006-46) and has attached a statement showing
separately for each month the gross receipts for the most recent 47 months. See instructions. I also represent that the
corporation is not precluded by section 4.02 of Rev. Proc. 2006-46 from obtaining automatic approval of such adoption,
retention, or change in tax year.
2. Ownership Tax Year
▶
I represent that shareholders (as described in section 5.08 of Rev. Proc. 2006-46) holding more
than half of the shares of the stock (as of the first day of the tax year to which the request relates) of the corporation have the
same tax year or are concurrently changing to the tax year that the corporation adopts, retains, or changes to per item F, Part
I, and that such tax year satisfies the requirement of section 4.01(3) of Rev. Proc. 2006-46. I also represent that the corporation
is not precluded by section 4.02 of Rev. Proc. 2006-46 from obtaining automatic approval of such adoption, retention, or
change in tax year.
Note: If you do not use item P and the corporation wants a fiscal tax year, complete either item Q or R below. Item Q is used to
request a fiscal tax year based on a business purpose and to make a back-up section 444 election. Item R is used to make a regular
section 444 election.
