Program Materials

This CLE webinar will provide tax counsel with a road map to navigate long-awaited final regulations intended to clarify the Net Investment Income (NII) tax. The experienced panelists will discuss planning opportunities to leverage new rules for regrouping, real estate safe harbor and the new proposed regulations for the sale of closely held business interests and more.

Description

Effective Jan. 1, 2014, after being released Nov. 26, 2013, the NII tax was long overdue and has been highly anticipated.The initial proposed regulations were issued almost a year before released.

The final regulations provide clarification and make substantial changes to a number of issues to include estimated taxes, real estate rental activities and regrouping. Despite providing some clarification, the IRS acknowledges that the regulations aren't all inclusive—questions and grey areas remain.

The Treasury also issued proposed regulations governing the controversial deemed sale rule for dispositions of active interests in partnerships and S corporations. These new proposed regulations also address capital loss carry-forwards.

Listen as our experienced panel thoroughly reviews the substantial changes made by the final and new proposed regulations and delves into those areas of utmost importance. They will provide strategies to leverage both the final and new proposed regulations.
