IRS Issues COVID-19 Forbearance Guidance for REMICs and Investment Trusts

April 16, 2020 By Daniel Reach, Clay Littlefield and John Baron

Yesterday, our Federal Tax Group discussed a new Revenue Procedure from the IRS that provides useful real estate mortgage investment conduit (REMIC) and investment trust safe harbors for mortgage loan payment forbearances (and related modifications).

  • What safe harbors are available?
  • Which mortgage loan forbearance programs are eligible?
  • How are “related modifications” treated?

Alston & Bird has formed a multidisciplinary task force to advise clients on the business and legal implications of the coronavirus (COVID-19).
