Depositaries m ay m ake paym ent for allotm ents o f bills for their own
accounts and for account o f custom ers by credit to their Treasury Tax
and Loan N ote A ccounts on the settlem ent date.
Under 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
determined by m ultiplying such discount by a fraction, the numerator 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 ing 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.
