Sec. 53.152  Final returns.

    (a) In general. Any person who is required to make a return on ATF 
Form 5300.26 pursuant to Sec. 53.151 and who in any return period ceases 
operations in respect of which the person is required to make a return 
on the form, shall make the return for that return period as a final 
return. A return made as a final return shall be marked ``Final Return'' 
by the person filing the return. A taxpayer who has only temporarily 
ceased to incur liability for tax required to be reported on ATF Form 
5300.26 because of temporary or seasonal suspension of business or for 
other reasons, shall not make a final return until such operations are 
permanently ceased.
    (b) Statement to accompany final return. Each final return shall 
have attached a statement showing the address at which the records 
required by the regulations in this part will be kept, the name of the 
person keeping the records, and, if the business of the taxpayer has 
been sold or otherwise transferred to another person, the name and 
address of that person and the date on which the sale or transfer took 
place. If no sale or transfer occurred or if the taxpayer does not know 
the name of the person to whom the business was sold or transferred, 
that fact should be included in the statement.
