1999-1 CB 321. The Notice did not specifically mention grantor trusts or QRSs, but its stated purpose was to address issues related to entities “disregarded as entities separate from their owners for federal tax purposes.” While it was clearly intended to respond to the then recently enacted check-the-box regulations and QSub rules, the Notice should also have applied to grantor trusts and QRSs—but it would be unusual for a grantor trust or QRS to have employees.
