U nder Section 454(b) o f the Internal Revenue C ode, the am ount o f discount at which these bills are sold is considered to accrue when the bills are sold, redeem ed, or otherwise disposed o f. Section 1232(a)(4) provides that any gain on the sale or redem ption o f these bills that does not exceed the ratable share o f the acquisition discount must be included in the Federal incom e tax return o f the owner as ordinary incom e. The acquisition discount is the excess o f the stated redem ption price over the taxpayer’s basis (cost) for the bill. The ratable share o f this discount is determ ined by m ultiplying such discount by a fraction, the num erator o f which is the number o f days the taxpayer held the bill and the denom inator o f which is the number o f days from the day follow in g the taxpayer’s date o f purchase to the m aturity o f the bill. If the gain on the sale o f a bill exceeds the taxpayer’s ratable portion o f the acquisition discount, the excess gain is treated as short-term capital gain. D epartm ent o f the Treasury Circulars, Public Debt Series— N os. 26-76 and 27-76, and this notice, prescribe the terms o f these Treasury bills and govern the conditions o f their issue.
