Rev. Rul. 98-3

[1] In Rev. Rul. 90-60, 1990-2 C.B. 3, the Internal Revenue Service provided guidance to taxpayers concerning the general methodology used by the Treasury Department in computing the bond factor amounts used in calculating the amount of bond considered satisfactory by the Secretary under section 42(j)(6) of the Internal Revenue Code. It further announced that the Secretary would publish in the Internal Revenue Bulletin a table of "bond factor" amounts for dispositions occurring during each calendar month.

[2] This revenue ruling provides in Table 1 the bond factor amounts for calculating the amount of bond considered satisfactory under section 42(j)(6) for dispositions of qualified low-income buildings or interests therein during the period October through December 1997. Table 2 provides a summary of the bond factor amounts for dispositions occurring during the period January through September 1997. Table 3 provides a summary of bond factor amounts for dispositions occurring during the period January through December 1996.
