Sec.  1.6043-2  Return of information respecting distributions in liquidation.

    (a) Unless the distribution is one in respect of which information 
is required to be filed pursuant to Sec.  1.332-6(b), 1.368-3(a), or 
1.1081-11, every corporation making any distribution of $600 or more 
during a calendar year to any shareholder in liquidation of the whole or 
any part of its capital stock shall file a return of information on 
Forms 1096 and 1099, giving all the information required by such form 
and by the regulations in this part. A separate Form 1099 must be 
prepared for each shareholder to whom such distribution was made, 
showing the name and address of such shareholder, the number and class 
of shares owned by him in liquidation of which such distribution was 
made, and the total amount distributed to him on each class of stock. If 
the amount distributed to such shareholder on any class of stock 
consisted in whole or in part of property other than money, the return 
on such form shall in addition show the amount of money distributed, if 
any, and shall list separately each class of property other than money 
distributed, giving a description of the property in each such class and 
a statement of its fair market value at the time of the distribution. 
Such forms, accompanied by transmittal Form 1096 showing the number of 
Forms 1099 filed therewith, shall be filed on or before February 28 
(March 31 if filed electronically) of the year following the calendar 
year in which such distribution was made with any of the Internal 
Revenue Service Centers, the addresses of which are listed in the 
instructions for Form 1096.
    (b) If the distribution is in complete liquidation of a domestic 
corporation pursuant to a plan of liquidation in accordance with which 
all the capital stock of the corporation is cancelled or redeemed, and 
the transfer of all property under the liquidation occurs within some 
one calendar month pursuant to section 333, and any shareholder claims 
the benefit of such section, the return on Form 1096 shall show:
    (1) The amount of earnings and profits of the corporation 
accumulated after February 28, 1913, determined as of the close of such 
calendar month, without diminution by reason of distributions made 
during such calendar month, but including in such computation all items 
of income and expense accrued up to the date on which the transfer of 
all the property under the liquidation is completed;
    (2) The ratable share of such earnings and profits of each share of 
stock canceled or redeemed in the liquidation;
    (3) The date and circumstances of the acquisition by the corporation 
of any or securities distributed to shareholders in the liquidation;
    (4) If the liquidation is pursuant to section 333(g), a schedule 
showing the amount of earnings and profits to which the corporation has 
succeeded after December 31, 1963, pursuant to any corporate 
reorganization or pursuant to a liquidation to which section 332

which on December 31, 1963, constituted earnings and profits of a 
corporation referred to in section 333(g)(3), and except earnings and 
profits which were earned after such date by a corporation referred to 
in section 333(g)(3); and
