Tax Bulletin 2026-17: Farmer Penalty Waiver, Housing Expense Limits
Summary
The IRS Internal Revenue Bulletin 2026-17 publishes Notice 2026-24, which provides a waiver of the section 6654 addition to tax for underpayment of estimated income tax by qualifying farmers and fishermen who file their 2025 calendar-year federal income tax return and pay any tax due by April 15, 2026. The bulletin also publishes Notice 2026-25, which adjusts the limitation on housing expenses for purposes of section 911 (foreign earned income exclusion) for the 2026 tax year based on geographic differences in housing costs.
What changed
The IRS published two notices in Internal Revenue Bulletin 2026-17. Notice 2026-24 provides a waiver of the section 6654 addition to tax (penalty for underpayment of estimated income tax) for qualifying farmers and fishermen who satisfy specified filing and payment conditions by April 15, 2026. Notice 2026-25 provides adjusted limitations on housing expenses for the foreign earned income exclusion under section 911 for the 2026 tax year, based on geographic differences in housing costs relative to U.S. costs.
Qualifying farmers and fishermen claiming the waiver should ensure their 2025 federal income tax returns are filed and any balance due is paid by the April 15, 2026 deadline. Tax professionals advising clients claiming the foreign earned income exclusion should review Notice 2026-25 for updated geographic housing limitations that may affect 2026 deductions. These notices do not create new substantive obligations but provide administrative relief and updated cost-of-living adjustments for specific tax provisions.

Introduction
The Internal Revenue Bulletin is the authoritative instrument of the Commissioner of Internal Revenue for announcing official rulings and procedures of the Internal Revenue Service and for publishing Treasury Decisions, Executive Orders, Tax Conventions, legislation, court decisions, and other items of general interest. It is published weekly.
It is the policy of the Service to publish in the Bulletin all substantive rulings necessary to promote a uniform application of the tax laws, including all rulings that supersede, revoke, modify, or amend any of those previously published in the Bulletin. All published rulings apply retroactively unless otherwise indicated. Procedures relating solely to matters of internal management are not published; however, statements of internal practices and procedures that affect the rights and duties of taxpayers are published.
Revenue rulings represent the conclusions of the Service on the application of the law to the pivotal facts stated in the revenue ruling. In those based on positions taken in rulings to taxpayers or technical advice to Service field offices, identifying details and information of a confidential nature are deleted to prevent unwarranted invasions of privacy and to comply with statutory requirements.
Rulings and procedures reported in the Bulletin do not have the force and effect of Treasury Department Regulations, but they may be used as precedents. Unpublished rulings will not be relied on, used, or cited as precedents by Service personnel in the disposition of other cases. In applying published rulings and procedures, the effect of subsequent legislation, regulations, court decisions, rulings, and procedures must be considered, and Service personnel and others concerned are cautioned against reaching the same conclusions in other cases unless the facts and circumstances are substantially the same.
The Bulletin is divided into four parts as follows:
Part I.—1986 Code. This part includes rulings and decisions based on provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986.
Part II.—Treaties and Tax Legislation. This part is divided into two subparts as follows: Subpart A, Tax Conventions and Other Related Items, and Subpart B, Legislation and Related Committee Reports.
Part III.—Administrative, Procedural, and Miscellaneous. To the extent practicable, pertinent cross references to these subjects are contained in the other Parts and Subparts. Also included in this part are Bank Secrecy Act Administrative Rulings. Bank Secrecy Act Administrative Rulings are issued by the Department of the Treasury’s Office of the Assistant Secretary (Enforcement).
Part IV.—Items of General Interest. This part includes notices of proposed rulemakings, disbarment and suspension lists, and announcements.
The last Bulletin for each month includes a cumulative index for the matters published during the preceding months. These monthly indexes are cumulated on a semiannual basis, and are published in the last Bulletin of each semiannual period.
Part III
Relief from Addition to Tax for Underpayment of Estimated Income Tax by Individual Farmers and Fishermen
Notice 2026-24
SECTION 1. PURPOSE
This notice provides a waiver of the addition to tax under section 6654 of the Internal Revenue Code (Code) 1 for underpayment of estimated income tax by qualifying farmers and fishermen described in this notice.
SECTION 2. BACKGROUND
Generally, the Code requires taxpayers to pay federal income taxes as they earn income. To the extent these taxes are not withheld from wages or other sources, a taxpayer must pay estimated income tax on a quarterly basis.
Section 6654 provides that, in the case of an individual taxpayer, estimated income tax is required to be paid in four installments, each of which is 25 percent of the required annual payment. With some exceptions, section 6654(l) provides that the provisions of section 6654 generally apply to certain trusts and estates.
An individual taxpayer who fails to make a sufficient and timely payment of estimated income tax generally is liable for an addition to tax under section 6654(a). However, special rules may apply in the case of an individual taxpayer who is a farmer or fisherman and satisfies the requirements of section 6654(i) for a taxable year (qualifying farmer or fisherman). Under section 6654(i)(1), a qualifying farmer or fisherman has only one required installment payment (instead of four quarterly payments) due on January 15 of the year following the taxable year if at least two-thirds of the taxpayer’s total gross income was from farming or fishing in either the taxable year or the preceding taxable year. For a qualifying farmer or fisherman who does not make the required estimated tax installment payment by January 15 of the year following the taxable year, section 6654(i)(1)(D) provides that the taxpayer is not subject to an addition to tax for failing to pay estimated income tax if the taxpayer files the return for the taxable year and pays the full amount of tax reported on the return by March 1 of the year following the taxable year.
The Secretary of the Treasury or the Secretary’s delegate is authorized under section 6654(e)(3)(A) to waive the section 6654 addition to tax for an underpayment of estimated tax in unusual circumstances to the extent its imposition would be against equity and good conscience.
The Department of the Treasury (Treasury Department) and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) understand that, for the calendar-year 2025 taxable year, some qualifying farmers and fishermen may have had difficulty preparing and electronically filing complete federal income tax returns that include Form 8995, Qualified Business Income Deduction Simplified Computation. The IRS corrected the 2025 Instructions for Form 8995 on January 27, 2026, including the line 11 computation of taxable income before the qualified business income deduction, and some taxpayers and preparers reported that they could not complete returns until February 23, 2026, when updated software became available.
Form 8995 may be required to be included in affected taxpayers’ federal income tax returns for the calendar-year 2025 taxable year (calendar-year 2025 tax returns) by March 2, 2026 (the first day after March 1 that is not a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday), the deadline that applies under sections 6654(i)(1)(D) and 7503. Accordingly, the Treasury Department and the IRS have determined it is appropriate to waive certain penalties for qualifying farmers and fishermen due to these unusual circumstances if the requirements set forth in section 3 of this notice are satisfied.
SECTION 3. WAIVER OF UNDERPAYMENT OF ESTIMATED INCOME TAX
Under the authority granted by section 6654(e)(3)(A), the addition to tax under section 6654 for failure to make an estimated tax payment for the 2025 taxable year is waived for any qualifying farmer or fisherman who files a calendar-year 2025 tax return and pays in full any tax due on the return by April 15, 2026. The waiver will apply to any taxpayer who is a qualifying farmer or fisherman for the 2025 taxable year and fulfills the conditions stated in the previous sentence.
The waiver will apply automatically to any taxpayer who qualifies for the waiver and does not report an addition to tax under section 6654 on the calendar-year 2025 tax return. Taxpayers who otherwise satisfy the criteria for relief under this notice, but already filed a return and reported an addition to tax under section 6654, may request an abatement of the addition to tax by filing Form 843, Claim for Refund and Request for Abatement, in accordance with the Instructions for Form 843 and as follows:
- Write “Request for Relief under Notice 2026-24” at the top of Form 843.
- Check the top-of-form box for ‘Penalty—Abatement or refund of a penalty or addition to tax due to reasonable cause or other reason allowed under the law’.
- On line 3, show the dates of any payment of tax liability and addition to tax under section 6654 for the tax period involved.
- On line 4, check the box for ‘Income’.
- Enter “6654” on line 6.
- Check box c on line 7.
- On line 8, state why the taxpayer’s circumstances satisfy the criteria for relief under this notice. Generally, this would include the status of the taxpayer as a qualifying farmer or fisherman, filing a calendar-year 2025 tax return, and paying in full any tax due on the return by April 15, 2026. A taxpayer eligible for relief under this notice is not required to attach Form 2210-F, Underpayment of Estimated Tax by Farmers and Fishermen, solely to claim the waiver provided by this notice.

Determination of Housing Cost Amounts Eligible for Exclusion or Deduction for 2026
Notice 2026-25
SECTION 1. PURPOSE
This notice provides adjustments to the limitation on housing expenses for purposes of section 911 of the Internal Revenue Code for specific locations for 2026. These adjustments are based on geographic differences in housing costs relative to housing costs in the United States.
SECTION 2. BACKGROUND
Section 911 allows a qualified individual to elect to exclude from gross income the foreign earned income and to exclude or deduct the housing cost amount of such individual.
The term “housing cost amount” is generally the total of the housing expenses for the taxable year minus a base housing amount. See § 911(c)(1). For this purpose, the base housing amount for the taxable year is limited to an amount that is tied to the maximum foreign earned income exclusion amount of the qualified individual, which is $132,900 for 2026. See § 911(c)(1)(B). Specifically, the base housing amount is 16 percent of the maximum foreign earned income exclusion amount (computed on a daily basis), multiplied by the number of days in the applicable period that fall within the taxable year. Assuming that the entire taxable year of a qualified individual is within the applicable period, the base housing amount for 2026 is $21,264 ($132,900 x .16).
Similarly, the housing expense amount is also limited, based on a percentage of the maximum foreign earned income exclusion amount. Specifically, the limit on such housing expenses generally equals 30 percent of the maximum foreign earned income exclusion amount (computed on a daily basis), multiplied by the number of days in the applicable period for which the taxpayer is a qualified individual. See § 911(c)(2)(A) and (d)(1). Thus, under this general limitation, a qualified individual whose entire taxable year is within the applicable period is limited to maximum housing expenses of $39,870 ($132,900 x .30) for 2026. However, section 911(c)(2)(B) authorizes the Secretary to issue regulations or other guidance to adjust the percentage under section 911(c)(2)(A)(i) (which determines the limit on housing expenses) based on geographic differences in housing costs relative to housing costs in the United States. Pursuant to this authority, the Department of the Treasury (Treasury Department) and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) have published annual notices concerning the limitation on the section 911 housing cost amounts since the 2006 taxable year.

SECTION 4. OPTION TO APPLY 2026 ADJUSTED HOUSING LIMITATIONS TO 2025 TAXABLE YEAR
For some locations, the limitation on housing expenses provided in Section 3 of this notice may be higher than the limitation on housing expenses provided in the “Table of Adjusted Limitations for 2025” in Notice 2025-16, 2025-13 I.R.B. 1378. A qualified individual incurring housing expenses in such a location during 2025 may apply the adjusted limitation on housing expenses provided in Section 3 of this notice for 2026 in lieu of the amounts provided in the “Table of Adjusted Limitations for 2025” in Notice 2025-16 (and as set forth in the Instructions to Form 2555, Foreign Earned Income, for 2025).
The Treasury Department and the IRS anticipate that future annual notices providing adjustments to housing expense limitations will make a similar option available to qualified individuals that incur housing expenses in the immediately preceding year. For example, when adjusted housing expense limitations for 2027 are issued, it is expected that taxpayers will be permitted to apply those adjusted limitations to the 2026 taxable year.
SECTION 5. EFFECT ON OTHER DOCUMENTS
This notice supersedes Notice 2025-16, 2025-13 I.R.B. 1378.
SECTION 6. EFFECTIVE DATE
This notice is effective for taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2026. However, as provided in section 4 of this notice, taxpayers may apply the 2026 adjusted housing expense limitations contained in section 3 of this notice to the taxable year beginning in 2025.
SECTION 7. DRAFTING INFORMATION
The principal author of this notice is Kate Y. Hwa of the Office of Associate Chief Counsel (International). For further information regarding this notice, contact Ms. Hwa at (202) 317-5001 (not a toll-free call).
Definition of Terms
Revenue rulings and revenue procedures (hereinafter referred to as “rulings”) that have an effect on previous rulings use the following defined terms to describe the effect:
Amplified describes a situation where no change is being made in a prior published position, but the prior position is being extended to apply to a variation of the fact situation set forth therein. Thus, if an earlier ruling held that a principle applied to A, and the new ruling holds that the same principle also applies to B, the earlier ruling is amplified. (Compare with modified, below).
Clarified is used in those instances where the language in a prior ruling is being made clear because the language has caused, or may cause, some confusion. It is not used where a position in a prior ruling is being changed.
Distinguished describes a situation where a ruling mentions a previously published ruling and points out an essential difference between them.
Modified is used where the substance of a previously published position is being changed. Thus, if a prior ruling held that a principle applied to A but not to B, and the new ruling holds that it applies to both A and B, the prior ruling is modified because it corrects a published position. (Compare with amplified and clarified, above).
Obsoleted describes a previously published ruling that is not considered determinative with respect to future transactions. This term is most commonly used in a ruling that lists previously published rulings that are obsoleted because of changes in laws or regulations. A ruling may also be obsoleted because the substance has been included in regulations subsequently adopted.
Revoked describes situations where the position in the previously published ruling is not correct and the correct position is being stated in a new ruling.
Superseded describes a situation where the new ruling does nothing more than restate the substance and situation of a previously published ruling (or rulings). Thus, the term is used to republish under the 1986 Code and regulations the same position published under the 1939 Code and regulations. The term is also used when it is desired to republish in a single ruling a series of situations, names, etc., that were previously published over a period of time in separate rulings. If the new ruling does more than restate the substance of a prior ruling, a combination of terms is used. For example, modified and superseded describes a situation where the substance of a previously published ruling is being changed in part and is continued without change in part and it is desired to restate the valid portion of the previously published ruling in a new ruling that is self contained. In this case, the previously published ruling is first modified and then, as modified, is superseded.
Supplemented is used in situations in which a list, such as a list of the names of countries, is published in a ruling and that list is expanded by adding further names in subsequent rulings. After the original ruling has been supplemented several times, a new ruling may be published that includes the list in the original ruling and the additions, and supersedes all prior rulings in the series.
Suspended is used in rare situations to show that the previous published rulings will not be applied pending some future action such as the issuance of new or amended regulations, the outcome of cases in litigation, or the outcome of a Service study.
