Program Materials

This teleconference will bring tax advisors up to speed on the current issues involving LLC formation and regulation changes they need to know now.

Description

Tax advisors who work with clients utilizing LLC structures have to keep current with considerable change. For example, the increasing popularity of series LLCs and low-profit LLCs (or L3Cs) also present a host of complex issues, as IRS regulation and state law with those entities evolves.

Also, the new 3.8% federal tax on investment income that starts next year has important implications for LLCs and S corporations — as do adoptions by states such as California and New Jersey of the Revised Uniform LLC Act (RULLCA). Other issues arise as more LLCs opt to be taxed like S corporations.

An overview of recent developments and trends at the federal and state levels involving taxation of LLCs will position advisors to work more effectively with clients as businesses increasingly opt to organize as LLCs.

Listen as our panelists examine the tax implications of the latest structures, laws and regulations involving LLCs.
