The American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 (AJCA) expanded the meaning of the term "determination" to include self-determinations made by a regulated investment company (RIC) or a real estate investment trust (REIT). IRC section 860(g) provides that no deficiency dividend deduction shall be allowed under IRC section 860(a) unless a claim is filed within 120 days after the date of the determination. Form 8927 is used by the RIC or REIT to establish the date of determination under IRC section 860(e)(4).
