Criteria for Selection. The criteria for selecting taxpayers to participate in the PFA program include, but are not limited to: (1) Whether the specific issue presented by the taxpayer’s facts is an eligible issue under section 3 of this revenue procedure and is otherwise suitable for the PFA program; (2) The direct or indirect impact of a PFA upon other years, issues, taxpayers, or related cases; (3) Whether Service resources are available; (4) Whether the taxpayer is willing and able to dedicate sufficient resources to the PFA process; (5) Whether the PFA is likely to result in two or more persons taking contrary positions on an item or transaction (a “whipsaw” issue); (6) The time remaining until the due date and expected filing date, if earlier than the due date, of the earliest return to which the PFA relates; and (7) The overall probability of completing the process and entering into a PFA by the proposed date for filing the earliest return to which the PFA relates. Early submission of a request will facilitate completion of a PFA before any associated returns become due. As a result, early requests are more likely to be selected for the PFA program and the Service urges taxpayers to submit PFA requests as early as possible.
