A private letter ruling (PLR) is a written response issued by the IRS to an owner or taxpayer when the owner asks a question about the tax effects of its acts or transactions. The questions posed by site owners usually entail uncertainty about how to handle a situation and the need for guidance on how to avoid the recapture of tax credits. The IRS-issued PLR interprets and applies the law to a specific set of facts, and the owner or manager who requested the PLR can rely on the conclusions expressed in it.
