William Burhop, senior technician reviewer, branch five, in the Internal Revenue Service's Office of Associate Chief Counsel (Corporate), said during the American Bar Association's Virtual Tax Meeting a study project is underway to think about revisions to the transaction rules in Treasury Regulations § 1.1502-13.
