Internal Revenue Bulletins  

1997 Announcements

An "Announcement" is a public pronouncement that has only immediate or short-term value. For example, "Announcements" can be used to summarize the law or regulations without making any substantive interpretation; to state what regulations will say when they are certain to be published in the immediate future; or to notify taxpayers of the existence of an election, or an approaching deadline for making an election. Because they have only immediate or short-term value, they are not published in the Cumulative Bulletins, but are published in the weekly Bulletins.

Announcements are in the Adobe Acrobat PDF format. Internal Revenue Bulletin Summary pages are in HTML format.
