With respect to an adjustment to a Form 990-PF converted tax return in subparagraph (6)c, the adjustment need not be limited to IRC 4940 tax, which is subject to deficiency procedures. You can also adjust non-tax items, such as the reported distributable amount, qualifying distributions, or undistributed income. If adjusting non-tax items is the only adjustment, the adjustment is subject to a nonstandard 30-day letter, with protest to Appeals, but not subject to issuance of a final 90-day letter by Mandatory Review. Consult with *TEGE EO Review Staff on a nonstandard 30-day letter. Any IRC 4942 tax resulting from non-tax adjustments is reported separately on Form 4720, which is subject to full deficiency procedures.
