complete, the information provided on this Form (or similar
form) must include a summary or schedule of the tax treatment

complete Form. If the list is being maintained under a prior
version of Regulations section 301.6112-1, the Form must
contain all of the information required under the prior version in
order to be complete.
If the information required exceeds the space provided,
complete as much information as possible in the available
space and attach the remaining information on additional
sheets. The additional sheets must be in the same order as

Name of Reportable Transaction. Enter the name, if any, by

reportable transaction that is being reported. The types of
reportable transactions are: listed transactions, confidential
transactions, transactions with contractual protection, loss
transactions, and transactions of interest. See Regulations
sections 1.6011-4(b)(2)-(6) for the descriptions of the
reportable transactions. Prior reportable transactions include

enter the reportable transaction number issued to you.
Published Guidance Number. If the transaction is a listed
transaction or transaction of interest, enter the notice, revenue
ruling, regulation, announcement, or other published guidance
that identified the transaction as a listed transaction or
transaction of interest (For example, Notice 2003-81, 2003-51
I.R.B. 1 modified and supplemented by Notice 2007-71,
2007-35 I.R.B. 472.). For listed transactions, identify the

employer identification number (if known), and the complete
address. Indicate with a "yes" or "no" whether the other

Caution: The designation of one material advisor to disclose
the transaction does not relieve you from the requirements of
Regulations section 301.6112-1 if the IRS is unable to obtain
the list from the designated material advisor, the designated
material advisor did not maintain a list, or the list maintained by
