May 31, 2013 -- The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) suspended certain requirements for qualified residential rental projects financed with exempt facility bonds to provide emergency housing relief to victims affected by the storms and tornadoes in Oklahoma between May 18 and May 27, 2013.

Notice 2013-39 suspends certain income limitation requirements under Internal Revenue Code (IRC) section 142(d) that apply to qualified residential rental projects financed with tax-exempt bonds.
