This document contains final regulations concerning deductions for transfers of property. The regulations amend the special rule that required an employer to deduct and withhold income tax as a prerequisite for claiming a deduction for property transferred to an employee in connection with the performance of services. Under the former regulation, employers that failed to deduct and withhold income tax were denied a deduction even where the employee reported the income and paid the tax. The new rules permit service recipients to claim a deduction for the amount included in the service provider's gross income. The service provider will be deemed to have included an amount in gross income if the service recipient provides a timely Form W-2 or 1099, as appropriate. These regulations apply to all service recipients who transfer property in connection with the performance of services.
