A regular interest in a REMIC is treated as debt for tax purposes and uses accrual accounting. Gain on disposing of the interest is ordinary income up to the specified excess amount.

(a) General rule. When this chapter’s tax is determined for a holder of a regular REMIC interest, the interest is treated as a debt instrument if it is not already one. (b) Accrual method. Amounts included in gross income from a regular REMIC interest are determined using accrual accounting. (c) Ordinary-income portion of gain. Gain from disposing of a regular interest is ordinary income up to the excess, if any, of: (1) the amount that would have been included in the taxpayer’s gross income if the interest’s yield had been 110 percent of the applicable Federal rate at the start of the holding period, over (2) the amount actually included in gross income for the interest. (d) Cross-reference. Section 1272(a)(6) contains special rules for including original issue discount on regular interests.
