Compare Revenue Rulings with Revenue Procedures.

Accepted Answer

Revenue Rulings are official pronouncements of the National Office of the IRS.They typically provide one or more examples of how the IRS would apply a law to specific fact situations.Like Regulations, Revenue Rulings are designed to provide interpretation of the tax law.However, they do not carry the same legal force and effect as Regulations and usually deal with more restricted problems.Regulations are approved by the Secretary of the Treasury, whereas Revenue Rulings generally are not.
Revenue Procedures are issued in the same manner as Revenue Rulings, but deal with the internal management practices and procedures of the IRS.Familiarity with these procedures can increase taxpayer compliance and help the IRS administer the tax laws more efficiently.A taxpayer's failure to follow a Revenue Procedure can result in unnecessary delay or, in a discretionary situation, can cause the IRS to decline to act on behalf of the taxpayer.
