Note. The list below contains a synopses of revenue rulings, revenue procedures, notices, announcements and regulations beginning with those issued January 1, 2019. Because the IRS is no longer indexing the contents of the bulletins as in the past, beginning with 2015 we have created two indicies--this one is an abbreviated list that is limited to those items we believe to be of interest to small to mid-sized business owners, their advisors, CPAs, enrolled agents, etc. Because it does not contain items of interest to insurance companies, banks, etc. the list is shorter and easier to review. For a list of all pronouncements go to IRS Pronouncements--2019. For a abbreviated, similar listing for prior years, go to:

We've included the IRB (Internal Revenue Bulletin) reference so you can find the full text on the IRS web site. We've tried to make the list as searchable as possible while keeping the descriptions short. Use the "find-in-page" or "find" feature of your browser (CTRL-F) to search this list. Be sure to try variations of keywords such as "activities" as well as "activity"; "depreciation" as well as "depreciate". The Applicable Federal Rate and interest rates on over- and underpayments are updated on our IRS Interest Rates page.
Notes.
The list below includes pronouncements for the first 12 bulletins of 2019.
Entries for each section are in the order they appear in the bulletins.
Go to our Abbreviations page for details on any abbreviations.
If you know the number, you can access a PDF file of any recent Revenue Ruling, Revenue Procedure, or Notice at the IRS Web site directly. Simply paste the appropriate link below into your browser and enter the desired ruling, procedure, or notice number instead of the xx.
