This teleconference will prepare corporate tax professionals to handle the most difficult aspects of calculating and claiming the Sect. 199 domestic production activities deduction on Form 8903.

Description

Each year that corporate federal tax professionals face completing Form 8903 to claim the Sect. 199 domestic production activities deduction, they must grapple with a plethora of difficult calculations and decisions.

Has the company properly tabulated production property, cost of goods sold and various sub-deductions, expenses and losses? Can the simplified method for income limitations, and the 50% limit based on W-2 wages, be leveraged?

The domestic production activities deduction is important and lucrative (9% of either qualifying production income or the taxpayer's taxable income, whichever is less). It is smart practice for corporate tax professionals to hone their familiarity with Form 8903 and Sect. 199, and anticipate problem areas.

Listen as our panel of seasoned tax advisors offers experiences with, and alternatives for dealing with, the most difficult compliance tasks involved with preparing Form 8903.
