Investment-focused company lost section 501(c)(15) exemption

View official IRS release (PDF)

Plain-English summary

The organization had been recognized as a tax-exempt small nonlife insurance company under section 501(c)(15). The IRS examination found that investment and related-party transactions were its primary business, while its capital and efforts were not focused primarily on insurance. The report also concluded that its insurance arrangements lacked adequate risk shifting and risk distribution. The organization could not continue relying on its original determination letter because the IRS found material misstatements in its application and material changes in its operations. Appeals revoked the exemption but granted limited relief under section 7805(b), making the revocation effective on a later redacted date.

Ruling snapshot

• Question: Did the organization remain an insurance company eligible for exemption under section 501(c)(15), and could it rely on its original determination letter?
• Outcome: Revocation, with limited effective-date relief
• Key authorities: IRC §§ 501(c)(15), 816, 831, and 7805(b); Treas. Reg. §§ 1.801-3(a)(1), 1.501(a)-1(a)(2), and 601.201

activities:

(a)

Activities: ORG is a small property and casualty insurance company formed and licensed under the laws of the Territory.

4. Application for Recognition of Tax-Exempt Status 20XX
   (1) Underwriting select lines of property and casualty

insurance coverages for business entities that are both related and unrelated hereto. These insurance risks can be categorized, by way of example, errors and omissions insurance, business economic loss, business interruption, bankruptcy protection, employment practices, loss of key employee services, and other lines of property and casualty related risks. Total organizational time devoted to underwriting and administration of insurance estimated to be 0% to 0%.

(2) Accepting and issuing reinsurance coverage for select lines of property and casualty insurance risks, including credit disability insurance. No credit life is envisioned within the company. Total organizational time devoted to reinsurance related administration is estimated to be 0% to 0%.

ORG achieves control of insurance related costs and cash flow through centralized premium and loss monitoring. ORG retains its investment income and will invest the monetary assets of the company to support underwriting expense and losses. All of the activities relate to the conduct of an insurance business (other than life business). The nature of investments shall include cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, real estate and any other permitted assets.

5. Role of ORG Officers / Directors in the Tax-Exempt 20XX
   - Application Process

IDR 3 (years 20XX-20XX) requested explanations concerning the role of ORG officers / directors in the application process, other than Director-1’s signing the Form 024 application under penalties of perjury on 7/17/20XX.

Officers/Directors Not Involved in Previous Formation of IRC 501(c)(15) Insurance Companies

Item #2 of IDR 3 (years 20XX-20XX) inquired as to whether ORG’s officers/directors were involved in forming an insurance company recognized as exempt from federal income tax under Code § 501(c)(15). ORG’s response explained that -

“Prior to the formation of the Company neither Director-1 nor Director-4

had ever previously formed an insurance company recognized as exempt

from federal income tax under Code section 501(c)(15).”

Application Procedures Handled by Officers’ Attorneys / Accountants

Item #3 of IDR 3 (years 20XX-20XX) as to whether ORG officers/directors understood the procedural steps required to obtain recognition of tax-exempt status under Code § 501(c)(15), and, if not, whether such procedural steps were explained to them by a tax consultant/tax advisor. ORG’s response explained that -

“Director-1 & Director-4 do not personally handle tax compliance matters

for any of their many business entities. After Director-1 and his

subordinates completed their business due diligence on setting up an

insurance company, the procedural steps to obtain recognition of

exception under Code §501(c)(15) were carried out by their attorneys and

accountants.”

No Feasibility Study Conducted to Form ORG
Item # 4 of IDR 3 (years 20XX-20XX) requested an explanation as to whether ORG officers/directors had obtained and/or conducted a feasibility study as to forming an insurance company qualifying as tax-exempt under Code § 501(c)(15).

No document entitled ‘feasibility study’ was prepared.”

5. Role of ORG Officers / Directors in the Tax-Exempt 20XX
   Application Process

Opinion Letter Regarding Tax Ramifications Not Received by ORG Officers/Directors Item #5 of IDR 3 (years 20XX-20XX) requested an explanation as to whether ORG officers / directors had received an opinion letter from an attorney or accountant as to tax ramifications involved in establishing an insurance company qualifying as tax exempt under Code § 501(c)(15). ORG’s response explained that -

“Prior to the formation of the Company, neither Director-1 nor Director-4 received

any opinion letter from any accountant in regard to the tax ramifications of

establishing an insurance company recognized as exempt from federal income

tax under Code section 501(c)(15). Whether prior to the formation of the

Company Director-1 or Director-4 received an opinion letter from an attorney,

attorney-client privilege.” .

Law Firm-1, Law Firm-2, and Professional Service Company Retained

“The law firm of Law Firm-1 represented Director-1 and the

Company officers in connection with the formation of the Company

and in connection with obtaining recognition from the IRS of the

Company’s exemption under Code section 501(c)(15). Director-1

sought out Law Firm-1 for their services because he had heard

from business associates that Law Firm-1 had experience in

that area. The law firm of Law Firm-2 PLC has provided

certain legal services to the Company. Law Firm-2 PLC (and

its predecessors) have represented Director-1 for nearly 30 years

Section Il A — Marketing / Planned Areas and Type of Business “The Company will operate as a property and casualty insurance company and will not issue life insurance policies.

Section Il C — Marketing / Source of Business
“The Company expects that zero percent (0%) or more of its business will come from The Companies. The Companies is a diversified conglomerate of companies, with numerous employees and assets and is currently faced with all of the below-described insurable risks.

The balance of the insurance underwriting business will be accepted by way of reinsurance of unrelated, licensed insurance companies.”

Section Ill B — Technical / Details of Underwriting “The Company will be highly selective as to the risks, which it will underwrite in the early stages of its development. The Companies will continue to obtain regular commercial property and casualty insurance from standard providers, and will primarily use the Company to provide non-traditional insurance and to access the reinsurance market.”

Section Ill D — Technical / Claims and Accounting Techniques “The frequency of claims from The Companies is expected to be low and so all claims will be dealt with on an adhoc basis in consultation with the Company's insurance manager. Where advised by the insurance manager or otherwise determined, the services of third party loss adjusters and other specialists may be used. The Company intends to adopt a conservative approach to reserving for outstanding claims but IBNR is not expected to form a significant proportion of those reserves.”

Risk Not Actuarially Supported for Year 20XX
Policies #01 - 01 and #01 - 09
Note 2(e), “Significant Accounting Policies for Loss Reserve”, (at Page 7) to ORG audited financial Statements for year 20XX reported that ORG management did not believe that a reserve for policy losses was necessary, that ORG did not provide for losses, and that any reserve to cover payment of claimed losses was not determinable:

Management does not believe that a reserve for policy losses and related expenses is necessary. However, because of the length of time required for the ultimate liability for losses and loss expenses to be determined, the net amounts that will ultimately be paid to settle any liability may vary significantly from the nil amount provided for in the Statement of assets and liabilities.

The Company does not provide for losses on incurred but not yet reported cases. It has been the Company’s experience that incidents which may give rise to claims are invariably reported almost immediately and therefore any additional provision for this category of claim is unnecessary. Although management believes that no additional provision is necessary, any reserve to cover the ultimate payment of such amounts is not presently determinable.

Item #6 of IDR 3 (year 20XX) requested rate charts and actuarial reports to support whether risk transfer and risk distribution existed under ORG’s direct premium policies
#01 - 09 and #01 - 01. ORG’s response Stated:
“The risks insured under these policies are non-standard risks concerning which actuarial information and analysis were not available. Management of the Company personally assessed this risk based upon their knowledge of the insureds and the insureds’ businesses. The Company engaged outside insurance counsel to tailor the policy coverages and limitations to match their business assessments of risk. The policies clearly transfer risk from the insureds to the Company. The direct written policies together with reinsurance business also clearly distribute risk among many insureds.”

Item #2A of IDR 8 (year 20XX) requested documentation supporting “ORG management's personal assessment of risk based upon their knowledge of the insureds and the insureds’ business.” ORG’s correspondence, dated December 10, 20XX (at Page 10), responded by stating:

“The Company’s management was very familiar from personal

observation and evaluation with the direct insured risks. Because of the

familiarity, no ‘underwriting memo’ or similar document exists.”

[Emphasis added to above underlined areas. ]

Item #2B of IDR 8 requested documentation supporting ORG’s Statement as to the “engagement of outside insurance counsel to tailor the policy coverages and limitations to match their business assessments of risk.” ORG’s correspondence, dated December 10, 20XX (at Page 0), responded by stating:

“Company engaged Law Firm-3 of City to tailor policy coverages and

limitations. Without in any way waiving the attorney-client privilege as to

communications between Law Firm-3, the Company provides a copy of

billing Statement and check at Tab 18.”

The invoice referenced in ORG’s response was #1, dated February 20, 20XX, billed in the amount of $0 to “The Companies” by the legal firm of Law Firm-3. Time billed within this invoice was not for actuarial risk services relating to ORG policies #01 - 09 and #01 - 01.

Although management believes that no additional provision is necessary, any reserve to cover the ultimate payment of such amounts is not presently determinable.”

Item #4E of IDR 1 (years 20XX-20XX) requested an actuarial analysis supporting computation of premium charges, risk transfer, and risk distribution for policies in effect during the 12-month periods ended December 31, 20XX-20XX. ORG’s correspondence, dated 7/20/20XX, responded by stating that actuarial analysis was

unnecessary for direct-written policies:

“The directly written policies were of risks well known to the company and

no actuarial analysis was necessary. CO-23 advises that its retrocession arrangement was never subjected to actuarial analysis and that it had no

reason to do so.”

Note 4, “Reserve for Policy Losses and Related Expenses’, (at Page 9) of ORG audited financials for year 20XX reports that ORG’s reserve for insurance loss is based upon estimated costs:

“Policies written and assumed provide for coverage on a claims-made

basis. Therefore, the reserve for policy losses and related expenses

consist primarily of the estimated cost of losses, defense and expenses

associated with claims reported on a case by case basis which are

unsettled at year end. In relation to premiums assumed, losses and loss

expenses paid are recorded when advised by the ceding insurance

company. Outstanding losses comprise estimates of the amount of

reported losses and loss expenses in respect of policies written, and

amounts advised by the ceding insurance company.

Management believes that the reserve for policy losses and loss related expenses will be adequate to cover the ultimate net cost of losses incurred to balance sheet date. However, because of the length of time required for the ultimate liability of losses and loss expenses to be determined, the net amounts that will ultimately be paid to settle any liability may vary significantly from the amount provided for in the balance sheet.”

The reserve for policy losses and loss-related expenses reported in ORG’s audited financials was reported in the amount of $0 as an incurred claim and experience refund of ORG’s Form 990 filed for year 20XX. This $0 amount was allocated within ORG’s general ledger between the two direct insureds for which policies were written in year 20XX — LP-3 ($0) and CO-3 ($0); and was reported as an Other Liability described as “IBNR Reserve’ within Part IV — Line 65 of ORG’s Form 990 filed for 20XX-20XX.

Item #14 of IDR 1 (years 20XX-20XX) requested documentation supporting computation of the $0 reported as Other Liabilities / IBNR Reserve within Part IV — Line 65 of Form 990 / years 20XX-20XX. ORG’s response, dated 7/20/20XX, explained that supporting documentation for the $0 reserve reported could not be located:

“This item was based upon the recommendation of the Company’s

insurance consultants. The Company has not been able to locate

the supporting documentation.”

• Reiterated here is ORG’s response to Item #4E of IDR 1 (years 20XX-20XX), which
  requested an actuarial analysis supporting computation of premium charges, risk transfer, and risk distribution for policies in effect during the 12-month periods ended December 31, 20XX-20XX. ORG’s response, dated 7/20/20XX, explained that actuarial analysis was unnecessary for direct-written policies:

“The directly written policies were of risks well known to the company and

no actuarial analysis was necessary. CO-23 advises that its retrocession

arrangement was never subjected to actuarial analysis and that it had no

reason to do so.”

$0 of Legal Fees Reported for Year 20XX

The $0 reported as legal fees for year 20XX consisted of monthly invoices billed to ORG by Advisory Firm-1 LLC (Advisory Firm-1) for a monthly legal service fee of $0. The only deviations from this $0 monthly amount were —

• a $0 fee for third party insurance billed in January 20XX, and

None of the Advisory Firm-1 invoices describe services rendered on behalf of insurance operations, but rather are identified as a monthly legal service fee.

ORG recorded the $0 reported as legal fees within ORG G/L account #12 — Prof. Services-Legal. Many of these postings relate to monthly activity for the Advisory Firm- 2.

In response to Item #18 of IDR 2 (years 20XX-20XX), ORG explained that, “In 20XX, the Advisory Firm-2 was a management company that acted as agent for ORG and others in collecting cash receipts and making cash expenditures.”

$0 of Experience Refund Due to Insurance Company Reported for Year 20XX The $0 amount reported as an experience refund due to Insurance company was computed by the retrocedant, CO-23, as the difference between 0% of retroceded premiums and what was net due to ORG as the retrocessionaire.

[ORG’s revenue from assumed reinsurance premiums, discussed above, identified the
$0 of incurred claims and the $0 experience refund due to Insurance company as deductions to compute net premiums retroceded by CO-23 to ORG, the retrocessionaire, during year 20XX.]

$0 of Incurred Claims and Experience Refunds Reported for Year 20XX
$0 Claim Paid to LP-3 for Events Prior to Policy Coverage Period

ORG paid $0 of the $0 reported as incurred claims and experience refunds as a claim for its policy # 01 - 01 written for year 20XX. The payment conflicts with the coverage period specified under policy # 01 - 01 because it was for a claim filed by the LP-3 for one-third of a $0 amount billed for drilling services rendered prior to the policy’s effective coverage date of January 1, 20XX.

The policy coverage period for ORG policy #01 - 01, in verbatim, is Stated as: “Only for Insured Events occurring on or after January 1, 20XX, for which claims are made and reported between 12:01 a.m. January 1, 20XX, and 12:01 a.m., January 1, 20XX.”

ORG supported its $0 payment with a “claim form” containing these fields of information:

Policy Type: Administrative Action

Policy No.: 01-01

• Claim Amount $0

• Policy Period: January 1, 20XX — December 31, 20XX

The Claim Form had a field entitled, “Statement Regarding Nature of Claim’, for which an explanation was typed in as: “EPA clean-up expenses (survey, site assessments, drilling) on properties located at Property-7 — City, State”

This explanation described services within an invoice billed by a business named CO- 44, Inc. (trade name is “CO-44”) that ORG provided to support the $0 claim amount.

The Claim Form had a field entitled, “Date of Insured Event”, for which was typed in: “See Attached Invoice”. The attached invoice #40, dated 11/0/20XX, was billed by CO- 44 in the amount of $0 to a person having name/address of:

City, State Zip code

CO-44’s invoice #40 disclosed that the $0 was billed for two units of “sub-contractor — outside” services rendered on October 24, 20XX and on October 27, 20XX:

0/24/XX Sub-Contractor — Outside 1 Unit $0
0/27/XX Sub-Contractor — Outside 4 Unit 0

“The frequency of claims from CC is expected to be low and so all claims will be dealt with on an adhoc basis in consultation with the Company’s insurance manager.

Maturity for full payment of principal and accrued interest changed from

12/21/20XX to 12/31/20XX.

The G/L account relating to capital investment held in a LP correlates with Note 5, “Available-for-Sale Investments”, (at Page 12) of ORG audited financials for year 20XX, whereby ORG was reported to have invested in a private equity fund:

“During 20XX, the Company purchased shares in a private equity fund that is domiciled in the United States. At 31 December 20XX, based on the audited financial Statements for this private equity fund, the fair value of this investment approximates cost.”

ORG’s response to Item #22 of IDR 2 (years 20XX-20XX) explained that the CO-19 (EIN), the CO-29 (EIN), and the CO-32 (EIN) were formed to “make an investment in a specific real property loan”. This response also explained the CO-33 (EIN) to be a private equity fund.

Minutes of ORG’s Board meeting held on February 17 20XX note that additional investments were made during 20XX in real estate investment companies that loan money secured by real estate:

“In 20XX, the Company made additional investments in companies whose business is real estate investment. These companies loan money secured by real estate.”

17. Plan to Liquidate On/Before December 31, 20XX

For tax periods subsequent to 12/31/20XX, non-life insurance companies can qualify as being recognized as tax-exempt under Code § 501(c)(15) if their gross receipts meet two criteria -

(1) Gross receipts for the taxable year do not exceed $0.

(2) | More than 0% of such gross receipts consist of premiums.

ORG ceased writing direct policies during year 20XX. This inactivity was consistent

with-

Gross receipts requirements under Code § 501(c)(15) that would became effective

on January 1, 20XX.

ORG’s historic pattern of earnings in years 20XX-20XX, where insurance premiums

never exceeded 0% of gross receipts. [Discussed above.]

& ORG’s audited financials for year 20XX reporting a plan in place to liquidate on / before 12/31/20XX.

& Director-1’s resume’ acknowledging his intent to liquidate ORG upon determining that better opportunities existed in other investment sectors after years of carrying out limited insurance activities.

Special meetings held by ORG’s Board that discussed liquidating ORG pending an

investigation as to whether ORG will acquire insurance opportunities outside the Companies economic group.

During September 20XX, all of ORG’s stock was transferred by the sole shareholder, LP-1, to an State corporation named CO-51 under a “transaction qualifying under Section 351 of the Code.”

On 4/30/20XX, ORG’s successor sole shareholder, CO-51, approved a consent that ORG liquidate no later than December 31, 20XX under a plan of complete liquidation.

Discussed below are a note to ORG’s audited financials reporting that ORG intends to liquidate by 12/31/20XX, a verbatim Statement from Director-1’s resume’ acknowledging an intent to liquidate ORG, special meetings held by ORG’s Board of Directors discussing liquidation, the consent by ORG’s sole shareholder to liquidate/dissolve, and ORG’s Plan of Complete Liquidation.

Note to Audited Financials

Resume’ of Director-1
In response to Item #1 of IDR 3 (years 20XX-20XX), Director-1's resume’ contained an explanation as to why he intended to liquidate ORG: “In light the experience and knowledge gained from his experience in the insurance industry, Director-1 resolved to form a well-capitalized, small insurance company to take advantage of perceived business opportunities
[ORG (‘ORG’)]. His intent was to grow ORG into a successful and thriving insurance company. After years of diligent effort in carrying out limited insurance activities pending pursuit of opportunities to grow through acquisitions or otherwise, Director-1 concluded that there were better opportunities in other investment sectors so ORG was liquidated.”

ORG Board Meetings
Special meetings held by ORG’s Board of Directors on 2/13/20XX, 4/21/20XX, 6/24/20XX, and 4/30/20XX discussed liquidating ORG pending an investigation as to whether ORG will acquire insurance opportunities outside the Companies economic group. On 6/24/20XX, ORG’s Board decided to cease writing insurance business, effective as of 6/30/20XX. On 4/30/20XX, ORG’s Board decided to liquidate ORG no later than 12/31/20XX. To be noted is that from the first day on which the change in gross receipts criteria under Code § 501(c)(15) became effective — 1/1/20XX — through the date on which ORG decided to cease writing insurance business — 6/24/20XX — ORG did not conduct any insurance business to write additional policies or to renew policies that were in effect during 20XX.

Special Meeting of Board / Shareholders Held 2/1 3/20XX

Present —

sole shareholder: LP-1

Directors: Director-1 and Manager-2

Others for LP-1: Individual-3, CPA

Discussion/Actions —

The discussion, in verbatim below, involved dissatisfaction with ORG’s operations for

the last 3 years, instructions given to Manager-2 (ORG director) and Individual-3

(CPA for sole shareholder) to investigate acquiring external insurance business, and

liquidating ORG in the event that a purchase or equity interest in external insurance business could not be found:

“After reviewing the operations of ORG for the last three years, the Directors / Shareholder are not satisfied with the growth and direction of ORG: the market was more difficult to penetrate than first anticipated. The Directors discussed various proposals and options for increasing the growth of the business. After lengthy debate, the Directors decided to pursue a ‘two-pronged’ approach to growing the business.

The Directors instructed Manager-2, and Individual-3 to investigate purchasing an existing insurance company or obtaining an equity interest in a larger, more established insurance company. The strategy would create a permanent source of reinsurance business of known risk that would grow over time. Manager-2 Stated that he already was currently reviewing insurance company purchases and would continue to do so per direction of the Board.

In the event that a purchase or equity interest could not be found, discussion turned to the possibility of liquidating ORG. Although no Director/Shareholder was in favor of liquidating ORG as a first choice of action, they also realized that if they were unsuccessful in finding a suitable acquisition target or equity interest to secure good, stable reinsurance business, the company should be liquidated.

Plan of Complete Liquidation

The Plan of Liquidation referred to in ORG’s special board meeting held on 4/30/20XX and in the Consent approved by CO-51 on 4/30/20XX contains 11 Articles, given here in verbatim.

Plan of Liquidation

ORG a Territory International Business Company (the “Company’”), has issued and outstanding zero (0) common shares, of the par value of Zero and no/00 Dollars ($0) each. The Company intends to cease the active conduct of its business and wind up its affairs, and this Plan is intended to accomplish the liquidation and distribution of all of the Company's assets in complete liquidation, less any assets retained to meet claims, on or before December 31, 20XX.

Approval
The Plan shall be considered adopted by the Company when it has been

approved by its board of directors and sole shareholder.

Cessation of Business

Effective June 30, 20XX, the Company ceased writing any new insurance business and has not conducted any insurance business other than administration and payment of claims. The Company shall continue its efforts to wind up the insurance business and its investment activity shall be consistent with the winding up and liquidation of the Company.

Winding Down

The Company's board of directors shall manage the winding up of the Company and the distribution of its assets to shareholders. Once that process is concluded, the Company hereby appoints PROFESSIONAL SERVICE COMPANY, from and after that date, to serve as liquidator for the Company to effectuate the final liquidation of the Company.

Authorization of Terms of Sale

After the Plan has thus been adopted and approved, the board of directors, subject to Liquidator’s supervision, shall proceed to accomplish the liquidation of the Company by a sale of those of its assets and properties as the sole shareholder does not wish to receive in-kind for such consideration and upon such terms and conditions as may be determined to be in the best interest of the Company and its sole shareholder. The proposed terms and conditions of any such sale shall be submitted to the sole shareholder and no agreement for sale shall be executed or delivered on behalf of the Company until such sale and the terms and conditions thereof have been authorized by the sole shareholder. The Company shall pay, or make adequate provision for, the full amount of all creditor claims and policyholder claims and shall make no distribution of amounts to the sole shareholder that are required to pay in full all claims and potential claims of creditors and policyholders.

Interim Distributions

The board of directors of the Company may from time to time authorize one or more distributions of property of the Company, in cash or in kind, in a series of distributions in complete liquidation, retaining such assets as they may dem necessary to meet claims or liabilities of the Company, and to continue the operation of such properties of the Company as have not been sold at the time of any such intermediate distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company's admitted assets and statutorily required capital shall not be distributed until all claims have been paid on policies written by the Company and all requirements of the Territory Insurance Code have been satisfied.

Final Distribution
Final distribution to the sole shareholder shall occur no later than 12/31/20XX.

Cancellation of Outstanding Shares

Each of the foregoing distributions which constitutes a series of partial liquidations or one complete liquidation shall be in exchange solely for, and a complete redemption and cancellation of, and in complete payment for, all of the outstanding common shares of the Company, and sole shareholder shall, if the board of directors so determines, surrender their certificates for such shares for recording thereon receipt of distributions prior to the final distribution, and shall surrender such certificates for cancellation upon receipt of the final distribution contemplated herein.

Code Sections 501(a) and 501(c)(15)

For taxable years prior to 2004, I.R.C. § 501 provides that certain entities are exempt from taxation. Included in these entities are “[i]nsurance companies or associations other than life (including interinsurers and reciprocal underwriters) if the net written premiums (or, if greater, direct written premiums) for the taxable year do not exceed $350,000.” [I.R.C. § 501(c)(15)(A)].

For taxable years beginning after December 31, 2003, section 501(c)(15) (A)(i) provides, in relevant part, for exemption for “insurance companies other than life (including interinsurers and reciprocal underwriters) if (i) (I) the gross receipts for the taxable year do not exceed $600,000 and (ii) more than 0 percent of such gross receipts consist of premiums.” For purposes of determining gross receipts, the gross receipts of all members of a controlled group of which the company is part are taken into account.

The Joint Committee Report for H.R. 308 States:

A company that does not meet the definition of an insurance company is not eligible to be exempt from Federal income tax under the provision. For this purpose, the term “insurance company” means any company, more than half of the business of which during the taxable year is the issuing of insurance or annuity contracts or the reinsuring of risks underwritten by insurance companies (sec. 816(a) and new sec. 831(c). A company whose investment activities outweigh its insurance activities is not considered to be an insurance company for this purpose. See, e.g. Inter-American Life Insurance Co. v. Commissioner, 56 T.C. 497, aff'd per curiam, 469 F.2d 697 9th Cir. 1972). It is intended that IRS enforcement activities address the misuse of present-law section 501(c)(15).

Definition of an “Insurance Company”

Neither I.R.C. § 501(c)(15) nor its corresponding regulations define an “insurance company.” Subchapter L of the Code (I.R.C. §§ 801-848), however, addresses the taxation of insurance companies. The term "insurance company” has the same meaning under section 501(c)(15) as it does in Subchapter L. See H. Conf. Rep. No. 99-841, 99th Cong., 2nd Sess. (Vol. Il) 370-71, reprinted in 1986-3 (Vol.4) C.B. 370-71.

I.R.C. § 816 (formerly IL.R.C. § 801) defines a life insurance company. As part of this definition, I.R.C. § 816 provides, “the term ‘insurance company’ means any company more than half of the business of which during the taxable year is the issuing of insurance or annuity contracts or the reinsuring of risks underwritten by insurance companies.”

Treas. Reg. § 1.801-3(a)(1) defines an insurance company as,

A company whose primary and predominant business
activity during the taxable year is the issuing of insurance or annuity contracts or the reinsuring of risks underwritten by insurance companies. Thus, though its name, charter powers, and subjection to State insurance laws are significant in determining the business which a company is authorized and intends to carry on, it is the character of the business actually done in the taxable year which determines whether a company is taxable as an insurance company under the Internal Revenue Code.

Treas. Reg. § 1.801-3(a)(1)(emphasis added). See also, Bowers v. Lawyers Mortgage Co., 285 U.S. 182 (1932).

The IRS has not ruled on whether the more stringent “greater than half” test set forth in I.R.C. § 816 applies to an insurance company other than a life insurance company. Instead, to determine whether a non-life insurance company qualifies as an insurance company for tax purposes, the “primary and predominant business activity” test set forth in Treas. Reg. § 1.801-3(a)(1) applies. See Rev. Rul. 68-27, 1968-1 C.B. 315.

The courts and the IRS have also, at times, looked to whether the transaction has characteristics traditionally associated with insurance, and whether the company conducts business like an insurance company. Several courts have addressed the issue of whether a company qualifies as an insurance company based on the company’s primary and predominant business activity. The seminal case addressing this issue is Bowers v. Lawyers Mortgage Co., 285 U.S. 182 (1932). In Bowers, the Supreme Court determined that the taxpayer was primarily engaged in “the lending of money on real-estate security, the sale of bonds and mortgages given by borrowers and use of the money received from purchasers to make additional loans similarly secured.” Bowers, 285 U.S. at 188-89. Although the taxpayer in Bowers earned “premiums” that amounted to approximately one-third of its income for the taxable years at issue, these premiums were attributable to the excess of the interest paid to the taxpayer by borrowers over the amount the taxpayer paid the purchasers to whom it subsequently sold bonds and mortgages. Id. at 188 n.5. The premiums also included fees the taxpayer charged for guaranteeing mortgage loans which it did not make or sell. Id. at

186. The Court noted that the “premiums” the taxpayer earned included agency and
     other services provided by the taxpayer which were not generally provided under traditional insurance contracts. Id. at 189.

Because the taxpayer’s premium income was incidental to its business of lending money, the Bowers Court held that the taxpayer was not an insurance company for tax purposes. Id, at 190. The Court explained, “[t]he lending fees, extension fees and accrued interest appertain to the business of lending money rather than to insurance, and may not reasonable be attributed to the subordinate element of guaranty in
[taxpayer's] mortgage loan business.” Id. at 189. Cf. United States v. Home Title Insurance Co., 285 U.S. 191 (1932) (holding that taxpayer was insurance company where taxpayer derived over 75% of its income from the insurance of titles and guarantees of mortgages).

In Inter-American Life Ins. Co. v. Commissioner, 56 T.C. 497 (1971), aff'd per curiam, 469 F.2d 697 (9th Cir. 1972), the taxpayer issued and reinsured 17, 280, 325, and 424 insurance policies earning premiums totaling $867.94, $1,554.76, $1,125.70, and $1,421.98 during the taxable years 1958, 1959, 1960, and 1961, respectively. Inter-American, 56 T.C. at 507. Virtually all of the reinsurance contracts issued by the taxpayer came from another insurance company which was owned by the same two shareholders as the taxpayer. Id. Similarly, almost all of the directly written insurance policies issued by the taxpayer were issued to the same two shareholders of the taxpayer. Id. The taxpayer also engaged in the sale of real property and stock, earning investment income totaling $35,988.21, $31,195.60, $36,436.04, and $33,815.44 over the four years at issue. Id.

In Inter-American, the Tax Court compared the taxpayer's income from its insurance-related activities to its income from other activities, and held that the taxpayer was not an insurance company. According to the Tax Court, the insurance premiums the taxpayer earned were de minimis, comprising less than 0% of the taxpayer's gross investment income. Id. In addition, the taxpayer had no sales force in place to sell insurance contracts. Id. The Tax Court concluded that, because the taxpayer's primary and predominant source of income was from its investments, and because the taxpayer did not focus its primary and predominant efforts in pursuit of its insurance business, it was not an insurance company. Id. at 508.

The Tax Court also acknowledged that it was cognizant of the “problems indigenous to new life insurance companies, in particular, that the initial years of a new life insurance company’s operations are generally difficult because the initial expenses incurred in ‘putting policies on the books’ are greater than the premium received” Id. (citing S. Rept. No. 291, 86th Cong., 1st Sess. (1959), 1959-2 C.B. 779). The Court explained, however, that it was basing its decision on the fact that the taxpayer did not focus its “capital and efforts primarily” on its insurance business, not on the fact that the taxpayer’s insurance business was not profitable. Id. (citing Cardinal Life Ins. Co. v. United States, 300 F. Supp. 387 (N.D. Tex. 1969).

In Cardinal Life Ins. Co. v. United States, 300 F. Supp. 387 (N.D. Tex. 1969), rev'd on other grounds, 425 F.2d 1328 (5th Cir. 1970), the taxpayer earned no income from insurance in two of the five years under examination, and earned .66%, .87% and 9.10% of its total income from insurance during the remaining three taxable years at issue. Cardinal Life, 300 F. Supp. at 389. Instead, the taxpayer earned a majority of its income from dividends, interest, rent and capital gains. Id. Like Inter-American, the taxpayer in Cardinal Life failed to employ any brokers, solicitors, agents or salesmen. Id. It did, however, pay an actuary on a fee basis to determine the amounts of its premiums. Id. The Court noted that the taxpayer's income from insurance policies was “insignificant” compared to the total income earned by the taxpayer, explaining,

While Plaintiff's insurance activities were insignificant, it was generating substantial income from dividends on stocks, rental income on real estate, rental income on trailers, interest income and capital gains upon disposal of real estate and stocks. These types of income constitute ... personal holding company income which Congress has specifically Stated is subject to a tax in addition to ordinary income tax. The Plaintiff is seeking to remove itself from the grasp of the personal holding company provisions by claiming life insurance company status through the issuance of a small and insignificant amount of insurance contracts.

Id. at 382.

In Industrial Life Ins. Co. v. United States, 344 F. Supp. 870 (D.S.C. 1972), aff'd per curiam, 481 F.2d 609 (4th Cir. 1973), the Fourth Circuit rejected the taxpayer's claim that it was an insurance company where the taxpayer earned 0% of its income from selling credit life insurance and issuing life insurance policies to its officers, and the balance of its income from its investment portfolio and the sale and leasing of real estate. The court explained,

It is obvious from the financial information ... that the premium income for these years was small when compared with income from real estate, mortgages and investment.

It is also important to note that more than half of the premium income came from policies on the lives of the only officers and stockholders of the company.

Id. at 876. The Court likened the facts of Industrial Life to those of Cardinal Life. Id.

By contrast, in Service Life Ins. Co. v. United States, 189 F. Supp. 282 (D. Neb. 1960), aff'd on other grounds, 293 F.2d 78 (8th Cir. 1961), the Court held that the taxpayer was an insurance company where it had “over $22,000,000 worth of life insurance on its books; over 70,000 individual policies in force; and approximately
$1,675,000 in premium income’ over a four year period. Id. at 286. The Service Life Court acknowledged that whether a company is considered an insurance company turns on the character of the business conducted by the company, not any percentage of income. Id. at 285-86. The Court did, however, compare the taxpayer's premium income to its investment income to determine the business activity of the taxpayer. Id. at 286. Although the taxpayer also generated income from mortgage loans and investments, over half of the taxpayer's income was from its insurance premiums, and over half of its income-producing assets were held for insurance policy reserves. Id.

What Constitutes “Insurance” and an “Insurance Contract”

The principal test for what constitutes “insurance” is set out in Helvering v. LeGierse, 312 U.S. 531 (1941). In that case the Supreme Court States that “[h]istorically and commonly insurance involves risk-shifting and risk-distribution....” Further, the Court Stated that “the risk must be an ‘insurance risk’ as opposed to an ‘investment risk’ ....” The court in Epmeier v. United States, 199 F.2d 508, 509-0 (7th Cir. 1952), defined an insurance contract as a “contract, whereby, for an adequate consideration, one party undertakes to indemnify another against loss from certain specified contingencies or perils...”

Neither the Internal Revenue Code nor the regulations specifically define the term insurance contract. The courts have generally required that a transaction involve both risk shifting (from the insured's perspective) and risk distribution (from the insurer's perspective) in order to be characterized as insurance. Helvering v. LeGierse, 312 U.S. 531, 539 (1941); Gulf Oil Corp. v. Commissioner, 914 F.2d 396, 411 (3rd Cir. 1990).

Risk shifting occurs when a person facing the possibility of a loss transfers some or all of the financial consequences of the loss to the insurer. Rev. Rul. 88-72, 1988-2 C.B. 31, clarified by Rev. Rul. 89-61, 1989-1 C.B. 75. The risk transferred pursuant to an insurance contract must be a risk of economic loss. Allied Fidelity Corp. v. Commissioner, 66 T.C. 068 (1976), aff'd, 572 F.2d 1190 (7th Cir. 1978), cert. denied, 439 U.S. 835 (1978).

Risk distribution incorporates the statistical phenomenon known as “the law of large numbers”. When additional statistically independent risk exposure units are insured, although the potential total losses increase, there is also an increase in the predictability of average loss. This increase in the predictability of the average loss decreases the amount of the capital that an insurance company needs per risk unit to remain at a given solvency level. See Rev. Rul. 89-61, 1989-1 C.B. 75.

Distributing risk allows the insurer to reduce the possibility that a single costly claim will exceed the amount taken in as premiums and set aside for the payment of such a claim. By assuming numerous relatively small, independent risks that occur randomly over time, the insurer smooths out losses to match more closely its receipt of premiums. Clougherty Packing Co. v. Commissioner, 811 F.2d 1297, 1300 (9th Cir. 1987).

Form 886-A (Rev. 4-68) Department of the Treasury - Internal Revenue Service

Page 156

Form 886A Department of the Treasury - Internal Revenue Service Schedule No or Explanation of Items Exhibit Name of Taxpayer Year/Period Ended ORG (“ ”) | 20XX 20XX Law 20XX

Risk distribution necessarily entails a pooling of premiums, so that a potential insured is not in significant part paying for its own risks. In Humana Inc. v. Commissioner, 881 F.2d 247, 257 (6th Cir. 1989), the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit held that arrangements between a parent corporation and its insurance company subsidiary did not constitute insurance for federal income tax purposes. The court also held, however, that arrangements between the insurance company subsidiary and several dozen other subsidiaries of the parent (operating an even larger number of hospitals) qualified as insurance for federal income tax purposes because the requisite risk shifting and risk distribution were present. But see Malone & Hyde, Inc. v. Commissioner, 62 F.3d 835 (6th Cir. 1995) (concluding the lack of a business purpose, the undercapitalization of the offshore captive insurance subsidiary and the existence of related party guarantees established that the substance of the transaction did not support the taxpayer's characterization of the transaction as insurance). In Kidde Industries, Inc. v. United States, 40 Fed. Cl. 42 (1997), the United States Court of Federal Claims concluded that an arrangement between the captive insurance subsidiary and each of the 00 operating subsidiaries of the same parent constituted insurance for federal income tax purposes. As in Humana, the insurer in Kidde insured only entities within its affiliated group during the taxable years at issue.

Rev. Rul. 2002-90, I.R.B. 2002-52, December 0, 2002, held that a subsidiary’s arrangement to provide liability insurance coverage to 12 of its parent company's subsidiaries constituted insurance contracts for federal tax purposes and, thus, the amounts paid as premiums by each subsidiary were deductible as business expenses. Under the arrangement, the subsidiaries were charged arm's length premiums, according to customary industry ratings, and none had liability coverage for less than 5 percent, or more than 15 percent, of the total risk insured by the subsidiary. As a result, the professional liability risks of the 12 subsidiaries were shifted to the insurer subsidiary as required to constitute an insurance contract for federal tax purposes. The common ownership of the subsidiaries, including the insurer, by the parent, did not affect the determination that the arrangements constituted insurance contracts.

Reliance Upon and Revocation of IRS Determination Letter

The exempt status of an organization may be recognized by the Internal Revenue Service through the application process described in Rev. Proc. 90-27, 1990-1 C.B.

514. Although not required to apply for a determination letter in order to claim exempt
     status, organizations seeking recognition of exemption from the Internal Revenue Service under I.R.C. § 501(c)(15) must file a Form 1024, Application for Recognition of Exemption under Section 501(a).

A determination letter recognizing tax exempt status is issued by the Internal Revenue Service to an organization where its application and supporting documents establish that it meets the requirements of the category of exemption it claims. Rev. Proc. 90-27,
§ 5.01, 1990-1 C.B. 514. All information by the applicant must be provided under penalties of perjury. Rev. Proc. 2003-4, § 9.13, 2003-1 I.R.B. 123, 140-141. The application process ends with the issuance of a determination letter. A “determination letter’ is a written Statement issued by the Internal Revenue Service in response to a written inquiry by an individual or an organization that applies to the particular facts. Treas. Reg. § 601.201(a)(3).

An organization may ordinarily rely on a favorable determination letter received from the Internal Revenue Service. Treas. Reg. § 1.501(a)-1(a)(2); Rev. Proc. 2003-4,
§14.01 (cross-referencing § 13.01 et seq.), 2003-1 C.B. 123. An organization may not rely on a favorable determination letter, however, if the organization omitted or misstated a material fact in its application or in supporting documents. In addition, an organization may not rely on a favorable determination if there is a material change, inconsistent with exemption, in the organization’s character, purposes, or methods of operation after the determination letter is issued. Treas. Reg. § 601 .201(n)(3)(ii); Rev. Proc. 90-27, § 13.02, 1990-1 C.B. 514. Any such changes must be reported to the Service so that continuing recognition of exempt status can be evaluated. [The determination letter issued to ESP contains this requirement.]

The Commissioner may revoke a favorable determination letter for good cause. Treas. Reg. § 1.501(a)-1(a)(2). A favorable determination letter may be revoked by written notice to the organization to whom the determination originally was issued. Treas. Reg.
§ 601.201(m) (cross-referencing Reg. § 601.201(I)); Rev. Proc. 90-27, § 14, 1990-1 C.B. 514, 518.

Page 158

Form 886A Department of the Treasury - Internal Revenue Service Schedule No or Explanation of Items Exhibit Name of Taxpayer Year/Period Ended ORG (* ”) 20XX 20XX Law 20XX

if the Commissioner revokes the tax-exempt status of an organization, the remaining question is whether the revocation should be applied prospectively or retroactively. Generally, revocation of a determination letter is prospective. Rev. Proc. 2003-4, § 14.01 (cross-referencing § 13.01 et seq.). Revocation of a determination letter may, however, be retroactive if the organization omitted or misstated a material fact or operated in a manner materially different from that originally represented. Treas. Reg. § 601.201(n)(6)(i); Rev. Proc. 90-27, §14.01; Rev. Proc. 2003-4, § 14.01 (cross- referencing § 13.01 et seq.).

In cases where the organization omitted or misstated a material fact, revocation may be retroactive to all open years under the statute. See Treas. Reg. § 601 .201(1)(1). In cases where revocation is due to a material change, inconsistent with exempt status, in the character, the purpose, or the method of operation, revocation will ordinarily take effect as of the date of the material change. Treas. Reg. § 601.201(n)(6)(i); Rev. Proc. 90-27. In any event, revocation will ordinarily take effect no later than the time at which the organization received written notice that its exemption ruling or determination letter might be revoked. Treas. Reg. § 601.201(n)(6)(i).

Qualification for Relief Under Code Section 7805(b)

Under certain circumstances, however, the Commissioner may, in his discretion, grant relief from retroactive revocation under I.R.C. § 7805(b) of the Code. Section 7805(b)(8) of the Internal Revenue Code provides:

APPLICATION TO RULINGS. The Secretary may prescribe the extent, if any, to which any ruling (including any judicial decision or any administrative determination other than by regulation) relating to the internal revenue laws, shall be applied without retroactive effect. Section 301.7805-1(b) of the regulations delegates authority granted by I.R.C. § 7805(b) to the Commissioner (or the Commissioner's delegate).

An organization that wishes to limit the retroactive effect of revocation must request that the Commissioner, Tax Exempt and Government Entities Division, the Commissioner of Internal Revenue’s delegate, exercise discretionary authority under I.R.C. § 7805(b) to limit the retroactive effect of revocation. Rev. Proc. 2003-4, § 14.02. To make sucha request, the organization must follow the procedures provided for in Rev. Proc. 2003-4,
§ 14.02 (cross-referencing Rev. Proc. 2003-5, § 19, 2003-1 C.B. 163).

To request I.R.C. § 7805(b) relief, the organization must submit a Statement in support of the application of I.R.C. § 7805(b), as described in Rev. Proc. 2003-4, §14.02. See also Rev. Proc. 2003-5, § 19. The organization’s Statement must expressly assert that the request is being made pursuant to I.R.C. § 7805(b). The organization’s Statement must also indicate the relief requested and give the reasons and arguments in support of the relief requested. It must also be accompanied by any documents bearing on the request. The organization’s explanation and arguments should discuss the five factors bearing on retroactivity listed in Rev. Proc. 2003-4, §14.02(1) (cross-referencing § 13.05), as they relate to the situation at issue. These five items are, in effect, the same as the factors provided in Treas. Reg. §§ 601.201(I)(5) and 601.201(m), Statement of Procedural Rules, which States:

Except in rare or unusual circumstances, the revocation or modification of a ruling will not be applied retroactively with respect to the taxpayer to whom the ruling was originally issued or to a taxpayer whose tax liability was directly involved in such ruling if:

(1) there has been no misstatement or omission of material facts;

(2) the facts at the time of the transaction are not materially different from the facts on which the [determination letter] was based;

(3) there has been no change in the applicable law;

(4) the [determination letter] was originally issued for a proposed transaction; and

(5) the taxpayer directly involved in the [determination letter] acted in good faith in reliance upon the [determination letter] and revoking or modifying the [determination letter] retroactively would be to the taxpayer's detriment.

If relief is granted under I.R.C. § 7805(b), the effective date of revocation of a determination letter is no later than the date on which the organization first received written notice that its exemption might be revoked. Treas. Reg. § 601.201(n)(6)(i); Virginia Education Fund v. Commissioner, 85 T.C. 743, 7522-3 (1985), aff'd 799 F. 2d 903 (4th Cir. 1986). This does not preclude the effective date of revocation being earlier than the date on which the organization first received written notice that its exemption might be revoked. Virginia Education Fund v. Commissioner, 85 T.C. at 753.

The Supreme Court has held that the Commissioner has broad discretion under I.R.C. § 7805(b) (and its predecessor) in deciding whether to revoke a ruling retroactively. Automobile Club of Michigan v. Commissioner, 353 U.S. 180, 184 (1957). See also Dixon v. United States, 381 U.S. 68, 74-75 (1965). The Commissioner's determination is reviewable by the courts only for abuse of that discretion. Virginia Education Fund v. Commissioner, 85 T.C. 743, 752 (1985).

1. ORG Does Not Meet the Definition of an Insurance Company Under I.R.C. §
   501(c)(15)

To be exempt from federal income tax under I.R.C. section 501(a) as an entity described in I.R.C. section 501(c)(15), the entity must be an insurance company or association, other than life (including inter-insurers and reciprocal underwriters). In addition, it must meet a premium income requirement.

The government holds that ORG did meet the definition of an “insurance company or association” for purposes of I.R.C. §501(c)(15) during the period(s) covered within this report. Facts discussed below supporting this conclusion show that —

[a] Investments were ORG’s primary and predominant activity

[b] ORG failed to use its capital and efforts primarily to earn income from its

insurance activity.

[c] ORG insurance policies lacked risk shifting and risk distribution

a. Investments were ORG’s Primary and Predominant Activity

Here, ORG should not be classified as an insurance company for tax purposes because its primary and predominant activity was investments, not insurance. This is evidenced by ORG’s sources of revenue, where revenue from ORG’s sales of real property interests was 0% and 0% of aggregate revenue, respectively for years 20XX-20XX; and investment revenue was 0% of aggregate revenue for year 20XX.

ORG’s reported revenue for 20XX-XX is summarized below.

ORG’s sales of real property interests in 20XX-20XX (Line #8), clearly involved a pattern of investment activity beginning in year 20XX and continuing through year 20XX, whereby property interests having a low basis were contributed by ORG’s sole shareholder, the LP-1, and sold by ORG for substantial tax-sheltered gains in the following year. This pattern of investment activity involved businesses controlled/owned by Director-1 Family members.

On 12/29/20XX, the LP-1 contributed to ORG, one-third interests in two properties having a total basis of $0-

• Property-1 - County County, State ($0)

• Property-2 — County County, State ($0)

Form 886-A (Rev. 4-68) Department of the Treasury - Internal Revenue Service

Page 163

Form 886A Department of the Treasury - Internal Revenue Service Schedule No or Explanation of Items Exhibit Name of Taxpayer Year/Period Ended ORG (“ ”) 20XX 20XX Government’s Position 20XX

During year 20XX, ORG sold the one-third interests in these properties to obtain the $0 net gain reported in Form 990 (Line #8). Five limited partnerships and one limited liability company controlled/owned by Director-1 Family members purchased the one- third interests in these properties. The remaining two-thirds interests in these properties were sold by ORG’s Territory captive affiliates - CO-7 and CO-5 — that were also controlled/owned by Director-1 Family members.

On 12/31/20XX, the LP-1 contributed to ORG a one-third interest in property described as “Property-3”, within County County, State, having a basis of $0. During year 20XX, ORG sold its one-third interest in this property to obtain the $0 gain reported in Form 990 (Line #8). The CO-6, one of the five limited partnerships that purchased property interests from ORG in year 20XX, was the sole purchaser of this property interest.

Minutes of ORG’s Board meeting held on 2/17/20XX evidence this pattern of investment activity, where assets and net income were noted to have increased substantially as a result of ORG’s sale of the Property-3 property interest, which was referred to as appreciated property carried on the books at basis:

“It was noted that the Company now has $0 in Assets compared with $0 in the prior year. The increase is mainly a result of the sale of appreciated property (Property-3) which was carried on the books at basis. The breakdown of total assets is as follows:

Cash and cash equivalents: $0 -— Cash and
money market account

Investments and Receivables: $0 — Money invested in real estate and real estate investment companies

In 20XX, the Company made additional investments in companies whose business is real estate investment. These companies loan money secured by real estate.

Form 886-A (Rev. 4-68) Department of the Treasury - Internal Revenue Service

Page 164

Form 886A Department of the Treasury - Internal Revenue Service Schedule No or Explanation of Items Exhibit Name of Taxpayer Year/Period Ended ORG (“ ”) 20XX 20XX Government’s Position 20XX

Manager-2 completed his review of the balance sheet and then conducted a brief review of the Income Statement for the year noting the Company showed Net income of $0 compared with $0 in the prior year. This was mainly attributable to the sale of Property-3. Total investment revenue was $0 compared with $0 for the prior year.”

[Emphasis added to above underlined areas.]

This pattern of investment activity is further evident in the minutes of ORG’s Board meeting held on February 9, 20XX, where ORG’s Board acknowledged that a substantial decrease in net income resulted from sales of interests in appreciated real property not recurring in year 20XX:

“The balance sheet review was finished and then a brief review of the Income Statement for the year was conducted. It was noted that the Company showed a net loss of $0 compared with net income of $0 in the prior year. The decrease is due to the sale of appreciated property in prior years not recurring this year. Total investment revenue was $0 compared with $0 in the prior year. Premium income for the year was $0 compared with $0 for the prior year.”

[Emphasis added to underlined area.]

ORG’s investment operations were also evident within its Other Investment income that came from equity held in limited liability companies whose business was real estate investment (see ORG Board meetings held on 2/17/20XX and 2/9/20XX). These LLCs were described in ORG audited financials as “associates”, “affiliates”, and “subsidiaries”, and were explained by ORG to have been formed for the purpose of making an investment in a specific real property loan or to make a specific real estate investment. ORG reported its Other Investment income from this source on Part |—Line
_ #7 as $0 for year 20XX and $0 for year 20XX.

b. ORG Failed to Use its Capital and Efforts Primarily to Earn Income from its Insurance Activity.

The courts also consider the manner in which the company conducts its business activities in determining whether it qualifies as an insurance company for federal income tax purposes. A taxpayer “must use its capital and efforts primarily in earning income from the issuance of contracts of insurance.” Cardinal Life, 300 F.Supp. at 391.

ORG's capital and efforts were not focused primarily on insurance operations, as supported by having only two direct-written policies in effect during 20XX-20XX, and having only five direct-written policies in effect during 20XX.

In addition to the low volume of direct-written insurance activity during 20XX-20XX, other facts reveal that ORG’s capital and efforts were focused substantially upon investments rather than conducting insurance -

[1] ORG was substantially over-capitalized relative to its insurance activities.

[2] ORG’s expenses were not directed towards marketing and/or promoting an insurance program, but rather towards investments within the diversified conglomerate of businesses known as the “Companies”. [The term “Companies” is defined within ORG’s Business Plan.]

[3] ORG did not use any internal or independent actuarial risk analysis to determine premium charges for its direct-written policies.

[4] ORG treated its insurance arrangements informally.

[5] ORG ceased writing insurance when the change in gross receipts requirements became effective to qualify as a non-life insurance company under Code § 501(c)(15).

First, ORG failed to use its capital and efforts primarily to earn income from its insurance activity by being substantially over-capitalized relative to its insurance activities. Short-term cash investments (e.g., money market funds) that could be liquidated quickly to make real-estate related loans were a substantial portion of asset balances in years 20XX-20XX. These short-term investments in years 20XX-20XX came from the tax-sheltered gains that ORG realized from selling property interests acquired from its sole shareholder, the LP-1.

Page 166

Form 886A Department of the Treasury - Internal Revenue Service Schedule No or Explanation of Items Exhibit Name of Taxpayer Year/Period Ended ORG (“ ”) 20XX 20XX Government's Position 20XX

Account receivable and notes/loans receivable balances increased substantially during 20XX-20XX, supporting that ORG loaned its funds from the tax-sheltered gains to benefit investments within the diversified conglomerate of businesses known as the

“Companies”.

The summary of asset balances reported for years 20XX-20XX, given below, discloses short-term cash investments decreasing while receivable balances increased.

Further evidence of ORG being substantially over-capitalized relative to its insurance activities was ORG’s management not believing that a loss reserve for its policies was necessary. Having no reserve set aside to cover policy losses demonstrates that ORG’s assets were not dedicated towards insurance operations, but rather towards investments within the diversified conglomerate of businesses known as the

“Companies”.

Notes within ORG’s audited financials report that ORG’s management did not believe that a reserve for policy losses was necessary. For example, Note 2(e), “Loss Reserve” (at Page 10) of ORG audited financials for year 20XX stated:

“Management does not believe that_a reserve for policy losses and related

expenses is necessary. However, because of the length of time required

for the ultimate liability for losses and loss expenses to be determined, the net amounts that will ultimately be paid to settle any liability may vary significantly from the nil amount provided for in the Statement of assets and liabilities.

The Company does not provide for losses on incurred but not yet reported

cases. It has been the Company’s experience that incidents which may

give rise to claims are invariably reported almost immediately and

therefore any additional provision for this category of claim is

unnecessary. Although management believes that no additional provision is necessary, any reserve to cover the ultimate payment of such amounts is not presently determinable.”

ORG's liabilities reported for years 20XX-20XX consisted of accounts payable and other liabilities described as “IBNR Reserve”. In response to Item #14 of IDR 1 (years 20XX- 20XX), that requested support for the $0 IBNR Reserve, ORG explained that this documentation could not be located:

“This item was based upon the recommendation of the Company’s insurance consultants. The Company has not been able to locate

the supporting documentation.”

Second, ORG failed to use its capital and efforts primarily to earn income from its insurance activity by devoting most of its expenses towards investments within

the diversified conglomerate of businesses known as the “Companies” rather

than towards marketing an insurance program. ORG’s only expenses that directly supported insurance activities were those within the quarterly CO-23 computations

for ORG’s assumed re-insurance premiums -- Insurance commissions, incurred claims, and experience refunds.

In both Cardinal Life and Inter-American Life, where the courts determined that the primary and predominate business of each company was not insurance, neither company employed a sales force. In Cardinal Life, although the taxpayer sold some reinsurance contracts during the years at issue, the District Court noted,

Plaintiff did not have an active sales force soliciting or selling insurance policies. Each of the insurance policies actually written by Plaintiff was as the result of reinsurance agreements wherein other companies ceded to Plaintiff certain amounts of insurance written by them. These reinsurance contracts were negotiated either by the president and sole stockholder of Plaintiff and/or the company’s actuary who rendered services to Plaintiff on a fee basis. Plaintiff otherwise did not have any employees, brokers, agents or salesmen soliciting and selling insurance for it, and the only insurance written by Plaintiff was through reinsurance agreements.

Cardinal Life, 300 F. Supp. at 392. Similarly, in Inter-American Life, the Court considered the fact that the taxpayer did not “maintain an active sales staff soliciting or selling insurance policies” during the taxable years at issue as evidence of the taxpayer's “lack of concentrated effort” on the insurance business. Inter-American Life, 56 T.C. 497, 507. (1971).

ORG’s payment of a claim for one of its direct written policies and management fees support expenses being devoted towards investment activities of the Companies economic group rather than towards insurance.

Form 886-A (Rev. 4-68) Department of the Treasury - Internal Revenue Service

Page 169

Form 886A Department of the Treasury - Internal Revenue Service Schedule No or Explanation of Items Exhibit Name of Taxpayer Year/Period Ended ORG (“ ”) 20XX 20XX Government’s Position 20XX

ORG paid a $0 claim to the LP-3 in year 20XX for its direct policy #01 -01 written for year 20XX. This payment was for one-third of a $0 amount billed for drilling services rendered by CO-44, Inc. (trade name is “CO-44”). ORG’s Claim Form described these costs as “EPA clean-up expenses”, which were consistent with the LP-3’s business operations:

0% devoted towards owning/operating retail petroleum facilities primarily in

State and State
& 0% engaged in real estate speculation and development in State; and

• 0% devoted in private and public equity investments.

ORG paid management fees of $0 (year 20XX) and $0 (year 20XX) to a Director-1 Companies affiliate, the CO-2 (“CO-2”), to manage the Property-3. Real estate activities were further evident by ORG’s sole shareholder, the LP-1, transferring a one third interest in the Property-3 property to ORG at a basis of $0 in 20XX, which ORG disposed of for a $0 tax-sheltered gain in 20XX. CO-2 was one-third equally owned by the sole shareholders of ORG and its two captive affiliates -

LP-1— sole shareholder of ORG

LP-3- sole shareholder of CO-7

LP-2—-sole shareholder of CO-5

ORG reported $0 of management fees for “asset management services provided during the year’ by its sole shareholder, the LP-1, for year 20XX. No documentation was provided to substantiate that any services were rendered for the $0 management fees reported, which were based upon 0% of ORG’s net assets in 20XX- 20XX:

20XX Management Fee paid to LP-1 0.00

20XX Management Fee paid to LP-1 0.00

[See ORG correspondence, dated 11/0/20XX, responding to Item #14 of IDR 2 (years 20XX-20XX)]

ORG recorded the $0 and $0 management fees in its G/L as pay-downs of

the line-of-credit loan owed by the LP-1. The reductions in the line-of-credit loan owed by the LP-1 are actually liquidating distributions consistent with ORG's liquidation plans reported within Note 16, “Subsequent Events”, (at Page 15) of ORG audited financials for year 20XX, stating:

Form 886-A (Rev. 4-68) Department of the Treasury - Internal Revenue Service

Page 170

Form 886A Department of the Treasury - Internal Revenue Service Schedule No or Explanation of Items Exhibit Name of Taxpayer Year/Period Ended ORG (“ ”) 20XX 20XX Government's Position 20XX

“There are plans in place to liquidate the Company as at December 31, 20XX. Liquidating distributions will be made periodically until the end of next year.”

In addition to ORG’s paid claim and management fees supporting investment activities, other instances where ORG expenses were devoted towards investments within the “Companies” rather than to market an insurance program include -

• Legal fees of $0 (year 20XX); $0 (year 20XX); and $0 (year 20XX) consisting
  primarily of $0 monthly charges for general/administrative services having no direct connection with policies in effect during 20XX-20XX. The Advisory Firm-2 — one of the legal fee recipients - employed ORG director, Director-1, during 20XX to provide real estate advisory and management services.

• Interest expense of $0 (year 20XX) actually being a fee for a real estate loan made
  by ORG’s investment affiliate, CO-34. The fee was based upon 0% of ORG’s initial capital contribution investment in the amount of $0 that ORG made within the CO- 34.

& Property taxes of $0 (year 20XX); $0 (year 20XX); and $0 (year 20XX) paid primarily for investment properties and investment fees.

Form 886-A (Rev. 4-68) Department of the Treasury - Internal Revenue Service

Page 171

Form 886A Department of the Treasury - Internal Revenue Service Schedule No or Explanation of Items Exhibit Name of Taxpayer Year/Period Ended ORG (“ ”) 20XX 20XX Government’s Position 20XX

Third, ORG failed to use its capital and efforts primarily to earn income from its insurance activity by not using actuarial risk analysis to determine premium charges for its direct- written policies. This is supported by documentation requested during the IRS field exam to determine whether ORG conducted any actuarial risk analysis in computing premium charges for policies in effect during years 20XX-20XX.

In response to a request for rate charts and actuarial reports to support whether risk transfer and risk distribution existed for ORG’s direct premium policies #01 - 09 and #01 - 01, ORG Stated that actuarial documentation was not available and that risk was personally assessed by management: The risks insured under these policies are non-standard risks concerning which actuarial information and analysis were not available. Management of the Company personally assessed this risk based _upon their knowledge of the insureds and the insureds’ businesses. The Company engaged outside insurance counsel to tailor the policy coverages and limitations to match their business assessments of risk. The policies clearly transfer risk from the insureds to the Company. The direct written policies together with reinsurance business also clearly distribute risk among many insureds.” (Response to Item #6 of IDR 1 issued for year 20XX)

The IRS’ follow-up request for documentation supporting “ORG management's personal assessment of risk based upon their knowledge of the insureds and the insureds’ business” resulted in ORG stating that no documentation existed: “The Company’s management was very familiar from personal observation and evaluation with the direct insured risks. Because of the familiarity, no ‘underwriting memo’ or similar document exists.”

(Response to Item #2A of IDR 8 issued for year 20XX.)

In response to the IRS request for an actuarial analysis supporting computation of premium charges, risk transfer, and risk distribution for policies in effect during the 12- month periods ended December 31, 20XX-20XX, ORG Stated that actuarial analysis was not necessary:

Form 886-A (Rev. 4-68) Department of the Treasury - Internal Revenue Service

Page 172

Form 886A Department of the Treasury - Internal Revenue Service Schedule No or Explanation of Items Exhibit Name of Taxpayer Year/Period Ended ORG (“ ”) 20XX 20XX Government’s Position 20XX

“The directly written policies were of risks well known to the company and no actuarial analysis was necessary. CO-23 advises that its retrocession arrangement was never subjected to actuarial analysis and that it had no reason to do so.”

(Response to Item #4E of IDR 1 issued for years 20XX-20XX)

[Emphasis added to above underlined areas.]

Fourth, ORG failed to use its capital and efforts primarily to earn income from its insurance activity by treating its insurance arrangements informally. This was evident in the payment pattern of ORG’s direct insureds, where premiums were paid substantially after their policies’ coverage commenced on January 1 of years 20XX 20XX. The industry practice for companies primarily engaged in the insurance business is to obtain at least a portion of the insurance premium on or about the time when policy coverage begins. In contrast, ORG’s direct insureds paid their premiums substantially after January 1 -

For policies in effect for year 20XX, ORG’s insureds paid their respective premiums

on
8/17/20XX (LP-3) and on 10/25/20XX (CO-3 Company).

• For policies in effect for year 20XX, ORG’s insureds paid their respective premiums
  on
  12/18/20XX (CO-3 Company) and on 12/23/20XX (LP-3).

For policies in effect for year 20XX, ORG’s insureds -- CO-4, LP-10, CO-6, CO-3

Company, and LP-3 -- paid their premiums on 12/31/20XX. ORG deposited these payments on 1/15/20XX.

Fifth, ORG ceased writing insurance business in 20XX, with no policies written and / or renewed in that year. This decision resulted in ORG’s capital and efforts not being committed for ORG to continue qualification as an “insurance company” described under Code § 501(c)(15) that primarily earned its income from insurance activities meeting gross receipts criteria that would be in effect for tax years after 12/31/20XX:

• Gross receipts for the taxable year not to exceed $0.

• More than 0% of such gross receipts to consist of premiums

Form 886-A (Rev. 4-68) Department of the Treasury - Internal Revenue Service

Page 173

Form 886A Department of the Treasury - Internal Revenue Service Schedule No or Explanation of Items Exhibit Name of Taxpayer Year/Period Ended ORG (“ ”) 20XX 20XX Government’s Position 20XX

The Government emphasizes that ORG’s cessation of insurance writing occurred simultaneous with changes in gross receipts criteria for continued qualification as an “insurance company” described under Code § 501(c)(15) becoming effective as of 1/1/20XX, and was consistent with predominant operations as an investment company, as evidenced by the relationship of ORG’s revenue, expenses, and assets to investments — particularly real estate.

In summary, ORG’s primary and predominant business activity was not insurance, but investments. ORG did not devote its capital and efforts primarily to its insurance business. ORG’s expenses were not made to employ knowledgeable employees or a sales force. Neither did ORG advertise or otherwise promote its insurance business. ORG treated its insurance business too informally for the transactions to be respected as true insurance. For the taxable years at issue, ORG is held to have operated primarily as an investments holding company (or a shell). Like Cardinal Life, ORG is seeking to avoid tax by claiming tax exempt small insurance company status through I.R.C. section 501(c)(15) based on its reinsurance of an insignificant amount of insurance contracts.

Form 886A Department of the Treasury - Internal Revenue Service Schedule No or Explanation of Items Exhibit Name of Taxpayer Year/Period Ended ORG (“ ”) 20XX 20XX Government’s Position 20XX

• ¢, ORG Insurance Policies Lacked Risk Shifting and Risk Distribution

ORG’s policy contracts do not constitute “insurance” because they do not involve both risk-shifting and risk-distribution, as established in Helvering v. LeGierse, 312 U.S. 531 (1941). In making this determination, the terms “risk-shifting” and “risk-distribution,” as defined within Rev. Rul. 2002-90, were applied.

No Risk Shifting

ORG’s Business Plan evidences the Companies’ having exclusive control over selection and risk management of ORG’s insured parties, which negated any risk shifting of a potential economic loss to ORG as the insurer. Sections 1A, 1B, HA, IIB, IC, and IIB of ORG’s Business Plan, given here, support this fact with an emphasis added for underlined areas:

Section IA — General Description / Overview
“The company will insure various business activities of The Director-1 Companies, a diversified conglomerate of businesses located primarily in State, (“Companies”). The Company will also accept third-party Insurance as described herein.”

Section IB — General Description / Purpose
“The purpose of the Company is to provide access to non-traditional insurance policies with which risks of loss businesses are commonly faced but to which limited or no insurance coverage is currently available. The Company believes that it faces several risks over the next few years for which traditional insurance is either too expensive or unavailable. Also, the Company hopes to obtain profitable reinsurance business. In addition, the Company may cede certain risks to reinsurers.”

Section IIA — Marketing / Planned Areas and Type of Business “The Company will operate as a property and casualty insurance company and will not issue life insurance policies. Insurance will be written on The Company, to enable better risk management, and allow The Company to obtain non-traditional insurance at better price points.”

Section IIB — Marketing / Method of Solicitation
“The Company does not presently intend to have insurance agents or solicitors. All insurance initially will either come directly from The Company, or be obtained by the Company’s insurance manager.”

Section IIC — Marketing / Source of Business
“The Company expects that zero percent (0%) or more of its business will come from The Company. The Company is a diversified conglomerate of companies, with numerous employees and assets and is currently faced with all of the below-described insurable risks. The Company will seek to engage in management of its risks and containing the cost of acquiring the foregoing classes of insurance.

The balance of the insurance underwriting business will be accepted by way of reinsurance of unrelated, licensed insurance companies.”

Section IIIB — Details of Underwriting
“The Company will be highly selective as to the risks, which it will underwrite in the early stages of its development. The company will continue to obtain regular commercial property and casualty insurance from standard providers, and will primarily use the Company to provide non-traditional insurance and to access the reinsurance market.”

No Risk Distribution
Distributing risk allows the insurer to reduce the possibility that a single costly claim will exceed the amount taken in as premiums and set aside for the payment of such a claim. By assuming numerous relatively small, independent risks that occur randomly over time, the insurer smooths out losses to match more closely its receipt of premiums. Clougherty Packing Co. v. Commissioner, 811 F.2d 1297, 1300 (9th Cir. 1987). Risk distribution necessarily entails a pooling of premiums so that a potential insured is not, in significant part, paying for its own risks. [See Humana Inc. v. Commissioner, 881 F. 2d 247, 257 (6th Cir. 1989).]

ORG’s direct insurance policies did not involve risk distribution, which requires the statistical phenomenon known as the law of large numbers. During years 20XX-20XX, ORG had only two policies in effect, covering two insureds. In year 20XX, ORG had only five policies in effect, covering five insureds. Risk distribution did not, therefore, exist under the law of large numbers within the very small populations of policies in effect during these years:

eee &

The lack of risk distribution in ORG’s policies is further evident by comparing them with the liability insurance coverage provided by the captive insurer discussed within Rev. Rul. 2002-90. In Rev. Rul. 2002-90, twelve subsidiaries comprising the insured parties and the insurer had common ownership by a parent company. None of the insured parties had less than 5 percent or more than 15 percent of the total risk insured by their affiliated, meaning that the parent company’s common ownership of the insured subsidiaries and the insurer did not impact the determination that the arrangements constituted insurance contracts. In contrast, the parties covered under ORG's direct insured policies had substantially larger percentages of the total risk because they involved substantially smaller populations of policies. [Also, see Humana Inc. v. Commissioner, supra.]

Years 20XX-20XX: 2 policies (total risk distributed per policy = 0%) Year 20XX: 5 policies (total risk distributed per policy = 0%)

With respect to ORG’s assumed reinsurance from CO-23, the Government emphasizes that ORG reinsured pro-rata shares of group disability insurance and related claims involved small portions of CO-23’s aggregate reinsurance. Any risk distribution assumed from CO-23 was therefore irrelevant in determining whether ORG was predominately involved with “insurance” for federal tax purposes. In support, the Government notes that ORG’s pro-rata share of group disability insurance and related claims assumed from CO-23 were only 0% during 20XX-20XX, and 0% in 20XX

2. ORGcannot continue to rely upon its determination ruling letter, dated
   October 19, 20XX, recognizing the organization’s exempt status under I.R.C.
   § 501(c)(15) for the tax year(s) at issue because it did not operate as an “insurance company” as that term is used in I.R.C. § 501(c)(15).

When the Internal Revenue Service's issued a favorable ruling to ORG in its determination letter, dated October 19, 20XX, the ruling was based upon information that ORG provided at the application stage. The IRS clearly Stated within this letter that the ruling was not only contingent upon ORG actually operating as it represented that it would within its application, but also required that ORG inform the IRS as to any change in purposes, character, or method of operation:

Based on the information supplied, and assuming your operations will be as Stated in your application for recognition of exemption, we have determined you are exempt from United States income tax under section 501(a) of the Code as an organization described in section 501(c)(15) commencing on January 1, 20XX, for tax years when your net written premiums (or, if greater, your direct written premiums) do not exceed the
$0 limit prescribed by section 501(c)(15).

kkk

This ruling is based on the financial and other information submitted in support of your application. Based solely on that information, we have concluded you are a “company” or “association” within the meaning of section 501(c)(15) of the Code, and have the business purpose of conducting the activities described in your application. This ruling is not effective unless you actually operate as represented. We are not ruling on issues other than exempt status. We have not been asked and we have not considered whether any of your transactions would give rise to the application of the provisions of either section 842 or 845 of the Code.

Please notify the State Tax Exempt and Government Entities (TE/GE) Customer Service office if there is any change in your name, address, sources of support, purposes or method of operation. If you amend your organizational document or bylaws, please send a copy of the amendment to that office.

Form 886A Department of the Treasury - Internal Revenue Service Schedule No or Explanation of Items Exhibit Name of Taxpayer Year/Period Ended ORG (“ ”) 20XX 20XX Government's Position 20XX

An organization may not rely on a favorable determination letter if the organization omitted or misstated a material fact in its application or in supporting documents. An organization also may not rely on a favorable determination if there is a material change, inconsistent with exemption, in the organization’s character, purposes, or methods of operation after the determination letter is issued. Treas. Reg. section 601.201(n)(3)(ii); Rev. Proc. 2004-1, 2004-1 I.R.B. 1; Rev. Proc. 90-27, 1990-1 C.B. 514.

The Government's conclusion that ORG cannot rely upon its favorable determination letter, dated October 19, 20XX, is based upon a comparison between information submitted by ORG to the IRS within its Form 1024 application for tax-exempt status with ORG’s financial and operational information identified within this report. In concluding that ORG cannot rely on its favorable determination letter, dated October 19, 20XX, the Government emphasizes that the signing of ORG’s Form 1024 under penalties of perjury by ORG’s director, Director-1, on 7/17/20XX, occurred 2 weeks after ORG engaged in its first sale of real property interests on 7/3/20XX. This sale involved ORG’s one-third interest in the Property-2 real property, resulting in gross proceeds of
$0 and a net gain of $0. The Form 1024 gave no disclosure about this sale and subsequent sales of real property interests that occurred in November- December, 20XX, even though ORG had already held interests in the Property-2 and Property-1 properties when Director-1 signed it on 7/17/20XX.

The Government further emphasizes that it was critical for ORG to have submitted complete financial information and an accurate description of its proposed activities during the application process in consideration of Director-1’s position as officer/director, his level of education, and his 30+ years of business experience, which placed him in a position that he knew about ORG’s real property sales occurring in July, November, and December of year 20XX.

Misrepresentation of Sources of Financial Support and Nature of Expenses

In response to Part Il — Line 2 of Form 1024, which requires an applicant to list its present and future sources of financial support, beginning with the largest source, ORG represented to the IRS that insurance premiums would be its largest source of financial support, followed by investment income and shareholder capital contributions. In response to Part Ill-Section A and Schedule | of Form 1024, ORG represented to the IRS that its revenues were entirely from premiums and expenses related entirely to its exempt purpose without making any projections with respect to tax-sheltered sales of real property interests.

Five factors support that ORG misrepresented its financial information within Form 1024:

First, during year 20XX, ORG had a gain from the sale of its real property

interests that was 0% of aggregate revenue, relative to ORG’s premium revenue being 0% of aggregate revenue (0.0% direct written premiums + 0.0% reinsurance premiums = 0.0% total premiums).

Second, ORG’s Form 1024 application failed to disclose the sale of its land

interest in the Property-2 property on 7/3/20XX, for which it obtained sales proceeds of $0 and a net gain of $0. [As discussed above, ORG’s officer/director, Director-1, signed the Form 1024 on 7/17/20XX, and was in position to have known about this transaction due to his position with ORG, his level of education, and his 30+ years of business experience.]

Third, ORG’s Form 1024 application failed to make any projection as to the

subsequent sales of its interests in the Property-2 and Property-1 properties that occurred on 11/6/20XX and 12/19/20XX; along with expenses relating to these sales such as legal costs and property taxes.

• Fourth, ORG’s Form 1024 application did not disclose legal and management
  expenses having no connection with insurance operations that were paid in 20XX. These expenses included $0 paid to the Advisory Firm-2 (check #0, dated 6/30/20XX) as monthly activity for entitlement properties; $0 paid to the CO-2 (wire transfer on 8/13/20XX) to manage property described as “Property-3”; and
  $0 paid for an invoice (#1, dated 2/20/20XX) billed to the Companies by the legal firm of Law Firm-3.

• Fifth, Director-1’s education and business experience described within his
  resume’, along with his being an officer/director of ORG, support his being knowledgeable about ORG’s financial and operational information when he signed ORG’s Form 1024 on 7/17/20XX under penalties of perjury.

Misrepresentations of Proposed Activities

In response to Part Il-Item 1 of Form 1024, ORG represented the following description in regard to proposed activities: “ORG is a small property and casualty insurance company formed and licensed under the laws of the Territory. In such capacity, it is licensed to conduct property and casualty related insurance activities. Its activities are specifically limited to the underwriting of property and casualty related risks on both a direct and reinsurance basis. These are as follows: Underwriting select lines of property and casualty insurance coverages for business entities that are both related and unrelated hereto. These insurance risks can be categorized, by way of example, errors and omissions insurance, business economic loss, business interruption, bankruptcy protection, employment practices, loss of key employee services, and other lines of property and casualty related risks. Total organizational time devoted to underwriting and administration of insurance estimated to be 0% to 0%.

Accepting and issuing reinsurance coverage for select lines of property and casualty insurance risks, including credit disability insurance. No credit life is envisioned within the company. Total organizational time devoted to reinsurance related administration is estimated to be 0% to 0%.”

[Emphasis added to underlined areas.]

Page 181

Form 886A Department of the Treasury - Internal Revenue Service Schedule No or Explanation of Items Exhibit Name of Taxpayer Year/Period Ended ORG (“ ”) 20XX 20XX Government’s Position 20XX

Three factors support that ORG misrepresented its proposed activities within Form

1024:
*

First, proposed activities were stated to be “specifically limited to the underwriting of property and casualty related risks on both a direct and reinsurance basis”. This Statement conflicts with ORG’s assets, sources of revenue, and nature of expenses being based primarily upon investment activities rather than from operating an insurance business; by ORG not applying actuarial risk computations to determine its direct policy premium charges; and by ORG having no program and staff to expand its insurance market. ORG failed to represent within its Form 1024 that it would not have risk distribution by having 2 policies in effect during 20XX-20XX, and 5 policies in effect during 20XX.

Second, total organizational time was stated to be devoted at an estimated 0% to

0% towards the underwriting and administration of insurance, which conflicts with

[a] ORG’s direct insurance being limited to the various business activities of its director. [Note 1, “General Information’, (at Page 5) of ORG’s financial Statements for the 12-month period ended December 31, 20XX]

[b] ORG not employing insurance agents or market solicitors. The Companies was expected to provide at least 0% of ORG’s business and to engage in risk management and cost containment. [Sections IIB and IC of ORG Business Plan]

[c] Premiums for ORG’s direct insured policies not being based upon actuarial risk computations, and had no documentation supporting how they were computed. Instead, Director-1 - as ORG’s “Management? — personally assessed the risk of the direct insureds based upon his knowledge of them. [ e.g., ORG response to Item #6 of IDR 3 (year 20XX), requesting rate charts and actuarial reports to support risk transfer and risk distribution between ORG and its direct insureds.]

[d] ORG's expectation to have a low frequency of claims that would be dealt with on an ad hoc basis. [Section IIID of ORG Business Plan] ORG’s ad hoc handling of claims was evident in the informality in paying $0 for a claim filed by the LP-3 by waiving policy deductibles and allowing the claim to be paid for an event occurring outside of the policy coverage period. ORG paid the claim under what it described as a “business decision made outside the terms of the policy” and “related to possible future business from this insured and its affiliates.”

Form 886-A (Rev. 4-68) Department of the Treasury - Internal Revenue Service

Page 182

Form 886A Department of the Treasury - Internal Revenue Service Schedule No or Explanation of Items Exhibit Name of Taxpayer Year/Period Ended ORG (“ ”) 20XX 20XX Government’s Position 20XX

• Third, total organizational time was Stated to be devoted at an estimated 0% to

0% towards reinsurance related administration, which conflicts with -

[a] ORG’s reinsuring a 0% pro-rata portion of group coverage through its agreement with CO-23 not justifying 0% - 0% of organizational time devoted towards reinsurance related administration.

[b] CO-23, not ORG, functioning as the reinsurance administrator by providing ORG with its quarterly retrocession computations that ORG used to report its assumed premium and related deductions within Form 990.

3. ORG is recommended to not qualify for relief under I.R.C. §7805(b) in the
   circumstances presented because it cannot continue to rely upon its initial determination letter.

The government recommends retroactive revocation of ORG’s determination letter because there were omissions and misstatements of material fact during the application process, and material changes in operation after the determination letter was issued. Accordingly, it is recommended that ORG's revocation be effective as of January 1, 20XX, the first day of the first tax period covered under this report, and retroactive revocation of ORG’s determination letter, dated October 19, 20XX.

While revocation of a determination letter is generally not retroactive, revocation of a determination letter may be retroactive if the organization omitted or misstated a material fact or operated in a manner materially different from that originally represented. Treas. Reg. § 601.201(n)(6)(i); Rev. Proc. § 14.01 (cross-referencing § 13.01 et seq.), 1990-1 C.B. 514. In cases where the organization omitted or misstated a material fact, revocation may be retroactive to all open years under the statute. See Treas. Reg. § 601.201(I)(1). In cases where revocation is due to a material change, inconsistent with exempt status, in the character, the purpose, or the method of operation, revocation will ordinarily take effect as of the date of the material change. Treas. Reg. § 601.201(n)(6)(i); Rev. Proc. 90-27. In any event, revocation will ordinarily take effect no later than the time at which the organization received written notice that its exemption ruling or determination letter might be revoked. Treas. Reg. § 601.201(n)(6)(i).

4. Effective date of ORG’s revocation if the Commissioner exercises
   discretion to grant relief under I.R.C. §7805(b).

Upon request by ORG, the Commissioner TE/GE may grant relief from retroactive revocation under I.R.C. § 7805(b)(8) of the Code. Should ORG make a request for relief from retroactive revocation, following the procedures under Rev. Proc. 2003-4 (which cross references Rev. Proc. 2003-5), the Commissioner is urged to deny such relief.

In requesting relief under I.R.C. § 7805(b)(8), ORG must address each of the following

factors:

[1] there has been no misstatement or omission of material facts;

[2] the facts subsequently developed are not materially different from the facts on which the ruling was based;

[3] there has been no change in the applicable law;

[4] the ruling was originally issued with respect to a prospective or proposed transaction; and

[5] the taxpayer directly involved in the ruling acted in good faith in reliance upon the ruling and the retroactive revocation would be to his detriment.

(Treas. Reg. § 601.201(I)(5), Statement of Procedural Rules; Rev. Proc. 96-4, § 12, 1996-1 I.R.B. 94; Rev. Proc. 90-27, § 14, 1990-1 C.B. 514, 518.]

If the Commissioner grants relief to ORG under I.R.C. § 7805(b), the effective date for revocation of ORG’s determination letter should be not later than the date on which the organization first received written notice that its exemption might be revoked. Treas. Reg. § 601.201(n)(6)(i); Virginia Education Fund v. Commissioner, 85 T.C. 743, 752-3 (1985), aff'd 799 F. 2d 903 (4th Cir. 1986). This does not preclude the effective date of revocation being earlier than the date on which the organization first received written notice that its exemption might be revoked. Virginia Education Fund v. Commissioner, 85 T.C. at 753.

Conclusion Summary

For tax periods ended December 31, 20XX-20XX, ORG is not an insurance company described under I.R.C. § 501(c)(15) and cannot continue to rely upon its initial determination letter, dated October 19, 20XX, recognizing it as exempt under that Code section. This determination was based upon ORG not qualifying as an “insurance company”, and ORG policy contracts not constituting “insurance” as supported by —
[a] Investments were ORG’s primary and predominant activity.
[b] ORG failed to use its capital and efforts primarily to earn income

from its insurance activity.
[c] ORG Insurance policies lacked risk shifting and risk distribution.

ORG cannot continue to rely upon its determination ruling letter, dated October 19, 20XX, recognizing the organization's exempt status under I.R.C. § 501(c)(15) because that ruling was contingent not only upon ORG actually operating as it represented that it would within its application, but also that ORG would inform the IRS as to any change in purposes, character, or method of operation. Facts identified within this examination report that were compared with information from ORG’s Form 1024 application disclose that ORG misrepresented information during the application process with respect to sources of financial support, the nature of expenditures, and proposed activities.

[4]

ORG is recommended to not qualify for relief under I.R.C. §7805(b) in the circumstances presented because it cannot continue to rely upon its initial determination letter, dated October 19, 20XX. The government recommends that ORG’s revocation be effective as of January 1, 20XX — the first day of the first tax period covered under this report -- and retroactive revocation of ORG’s determination letter, dated October 19, 20XX. This recommendation is based upon omissions and misstatements of material fact during the application process of ORG’s Form 1024, and material changes in operation after ORG’s determination ruling letter was issued.

If the Commissioner grants relief to ORG under I.R.C. § 7805(b), the effective date for revocation of ORG’s determination letter should be not later than the date on which the organization first received written notice that its exemption might be revoked. This does not preclude the effective date of revocation being earlier than the date on which the organization first received written notice that its exemption might be revoked.
