The Revenue Service will follow the Triangle Publication, Inc. decision that the useful life of an asset for investment credit purposes need not be consistent with the estimated life used under Revenue Procedure 62-21 for years not affected by the Revenue Act of 1971; Revenue Rulings 68-449 and 68-450 modified.
Revenue Ruling 68-449, C.B. 1968-2, 20, involving the "class life system" and Revenue Ruling 68-450, C.B. 1968-2, 23, involving the "individual useful life system," hold that under those "systems" the estimated useful life of an asset for investment credit purposes must be consistent with the estimated useful life of the asset used for computing depreciation.
The provisions of Revenue Procedure 62-21 as supplemented by Revenue Procedure 65-13, C.B. 1965-1, 759, afford the methods for depreciation purposes by which the useful life of the taxpayer's depreciable assets may be challenged by the Service for taxable years ending before January 1, 1971.

 The Presidential Election Campaign Fund and Tax Checkoff
The Revenue Act of 1971 (P.L. 92-178) established today's Presidential Election Campaign Fund-a separate account in the U.S. Treasury to fund (on a voluntary basis) general election campaigns of presidential candidates who met the qualifying conditions and who agreed to abide by the national spending limit.
Payments were to be made directly to candidates (unlike the 1966 Act), with full grants equal to the spending limit for major party candidates, limited grants to minor party candidates based on prior electoral strength, and post-election payments to new party candidates based on votes in that election.
The Federal Election Campaign Act (FECA) of 1971 (P.L. 92-225) included a limit of $50,000 on contributions from a presidential candidate and family to his or her campaign, later incorporated in law as a condition for receipt of public funds.

The act revised the disclosure rules to account for the financial activity that led to the Teapot Dome scandal by requiring all multistate political committees (as well as House and Senate candidates) to file quarterly reports that included all contributions of $100 or more, even in nonelection years.
The Pendleton Act sought to restrain the influence of the spoils system in the selection of civil service workers and to reduce the reliance of party organizations on the assessment of federal officeholders as a source of campaign revenue.
Another important feature of the Revenue Act was the creation of a federal income tax credit or tax deduction for small contributions to political candidates at all levels of government and to some political committees, including those associated with national party organizations.

 Appendix 4: Brief History
Although the Tillman Act and the Taft-Hartley Act of 1947 banned direct contributions by corporations and labor unions to influence Federal elections, the FECA provided an exception whereby corporations and unions could use treasury funds to establish, operate and solicit voluntary contributions for the organization's separate segregated fund (i.e., PAC).
Under the Revenue Act-the first of a series of laws implementing Federal financing of Presidential elections-citizens could check a box on their tax forms authorizing the Federal government to use one of their tax dollars to finance Presidential campaigns in the general election.
Through the passage of the Revenue Act, the FECA and its amendments, Congress has provided public financing for Presidential elections, limited contributions in Federal elections, required substantial disclosure of campaign financial activity and created an independent agency to administer and enforce these provisions.
