Pursuant to the requirements of the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985, as amended, refund payments issued to, and credit elect and refund offset transactions for, corporations claiming refundable prior year minimum tax liability, are subject to sequestration.
This means that refund payments and credit elect and refund offset transactions processed on or after Oct. 1, 2017, and on or before Sept. 30, 2018, will be reduced by the fiscal year 2018 6.6 percent sequestration rate, irrespective of when the IRS received the original or amended tax return.
The sequestration reduction rate will be applied unless and until a law is enacted that cancels or otherwise affects the sequester, at which time the sequestration reduction rate is subject to change.
