January 5, 2026 - AICPA Comment Letter Recommends Automating Section 1033 Extension Requests
The AICPA’s first comment letter of 2026 recommends that the IRS develop an automated procedure to process extension requests for taxpayers affected by federally declared disasters to replace involuntarily converted property under section 1033. The recommended process would significantly reduce the IRS’s need to allocate resources to these types of requests and afford taxpayers certainty when attempting to replace property destroyed by disasters.
