IRS Information Letters

An information letter provides general statements of well-defined law without applying them to a specific set of facts. They are furnished by the IRS National Office in response to requests for general information by taxpayers, by congress-persons on behalf of constituents, or by congress-persons on their own behalf. 

 

Information Letters are not Private Letter Rulings.  These are informal responses to inquiries and are not binding.
