Publication 938
Introductory Material

This is archived information that pertains only to the 2003 Tax Year. If you
are looking for information for the current tax year, go to the Tax Prep Help Area.

Introduction

This publication contains directories relating to real estate mortgage investment conduits (REMICs) and collateralized debt obligations (CDOs), including CDOs issued in the form of “regular interests” in Financial Asset Securitization Investment Trusts (FASITs). The directory for each calendar quarter is based on information submitted to the Internal Revenue Service during that quarter. This publication is only available on the Internet.

For each quarter, there is:

  • A directory of new REMICs and CDOs, and
  • A section containing amended listings.

You can use the directory to find the representative of the REMIC or the issuer of the CDO from whom you can request tax information. The amended listing section shows changes to previously listed REMICs and CDOs.

The directory for each calendar quarter will be added to this publication approximately six weeks after the end of the quarter.
