Форма 8886 IRS — это специализированное заявление о раскрытии информации, которое служит инструментом прозрачности. По сути, это официальное уведомление, используемое налогоплательщиками и их консультантами для декларирования участия в определенных транзакциях, которые IRS считает потенциально злоупотребляющими или предназначенными в первую очередь для уклонения от уплаты налогов. Этот документ является одним из элементов более широких усилий IRS по мониторингу транзакций с высоким риском или «перечисленных» транзакций, не выступая при этом в качестве уведомления о штрафе.

Form 8886 is not simply an informational form, it actively alerts the IRS when a taxpayer is involved in a "reportable transaction" (often known as a "listed transaction"). When filed, it does the following:
This number is a temporary IRS procedure, in effect since October 1, 2020 "until further notice," and it is not a general submission line, it is only for faxing the separate OTSA copy of a reportable transaction's initial year Form 8886. You must still attach the original Form 8886 to your income tax return, that filing is never done by fax. If you already mailed or faxed your OTSA copy for a transaction's initial year, do not fax a second copy in a later year. Send only one exact copy per fax, up to a maximum of 100 pages, with a cover sheet listing the subject, your name, title, phone number, address, the taxpayer's name, the date, and the total page count (no EIN or SSN on the cover sheet). The IRS does not provide a fax confirmation or receipt, so keep your own transmission log.
If this is the first year you're disclosing a given reportable transaction, the IRS requires a separate copy for its Office of Tax Shelter Analysis in addition to the Form 8886 you attach to your tax return. Fax.Plus lets you send that OTSA copy straight from your computer, phone, or email, with a timestamped delivery confirmation you can keep alongside your own fax transmission log, since the IRS itself does not provide one.
Under Section 6707A, the penalty for failing to disclose a reportable transaction is 75% of the tax benefit the transaction would provide, with a minimum of $5,000 for an individual and $10,000 for anyone else. The annual maximum is $10,000 for an individual and $50,000 for others on most reportable transactions, but it rises to $100,000 for an individual and $200,000 for others if the undisclosed transaction is a listed transaction specifically.
A listed transaction is one the IRS has specifically identified by name as a tax avoidance transaction, the highest-scrutiny category. Form 8886 also covers four other reportable categories: confidential transactions, transactions with contractual protection, loss transactions above set dollar thresholds, and transactions of interest, where the IRS suspects abuse but hasn't formally listed the transaction yet.
Both, in different ways. The original Form 8886 must be attached to your income tax return, it is never sent by fax on its own. The fax number applies only to a separate, additional copy required for the IRS's Office of Tax Shelter Analysis.
No. The fax requirement applies only to the initial year you disclose a given reportable transaction. If you already sent that first-year OTSA copy by mail or fax, you should not fax a second copy in a later year for the same transaction, even though you'll keep attaching the original Form 8886 to each year's tax return.
Form 8886 is filed by the taxpayer disclosing their own participation in a reportable transaction. Form 8918 is a separate form filed by material advisors, the tax professionals or promoters who designed, marketed, or advised on the transaction, disclosing their own advisory role. The two forms go to different fax numbers and cover different filers.
Disclosing a reportable transaction rarely stands alone. Here's what else comes up around tax shelter compliance and IRS disclosure filings by fax.
