                                 Revenue Ruling

         INSURANCE COMPANIES; LOSS RESERVES; DISCOUNTING UNPAID LOSSES

                           Published:  June 12, 1989

Section 846. - Discounted Unpaid Losses Defined

  Insurance companies; loss reserves; discounting unpaid losses. The loss payment patterns and discount factors for calendar year 1989 for each property and casualty business to be used in discounting the deduction for loss reserves for purposes of section 846 of the Code.  Rev. Rul. 89-66 modified and superseded.

  This revenue ruling modifies and supersedes Rev. Rul. 89-66, 1989-21 I.R.B. 13, which contained erroneous column headings.

  For purposes of section 846 of the Internal Revenue Code, the following are the loss payment patterns and discount factors for calendar year 1989 for each property and casualty line of business to be used in discounting the deduction for loss reserves.  Section 846 requires all property and casualty loss reserves (unpaid losses and unpaid loss adjustment expenses) for each line of business (as shown on the annual statement approved by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC)) to be discounted for federal income tax purposes.  The discount factors were determined by using an interest rate for 1989 of 8.16 percent, the interest rate determined under section 846(c).
