In August 2020, the IRS issued a Private Letter Ruling (PLR) for a regulated utility stating that deferred taxes related to cost of removal (COR) are not subject to normalization rules. Several subsequent PLRs have been issued to date, with the most recent one being issued in July 2022.

Don’t be caught off guard if this becomes a Revenue Ruling.

• Potential implications for your PowerTax COR configuration and what you should analyze now in order to be ready.
