    Abstract: These regulations provide guidance on the treatment of 
self-charged items of income and expense under section 469. The 
regulations re-characterize a percentage of certain portfolio income 
and expense as passive income and expense (self-charged items) when a 
taxpayer engages in a lending transaction with a partnership or an S 
corporation (passthrough entity) in which the taxpayer owns a direct or 
indirect interest and the loan proceeds are used in a passive activity. 
Similar rules apply to lending transactions between two identically 
owned passthrough entities. These final regulations affect taxpayers 
subject to the limitations on passive activity losses and credits. 
There is a reduction in 50 hours to the annual estimate to correct an 
error in the previous calculation.
