This CLE/CPE course will provide tax professionals with an in-depth discussion of reporting Subpart F income challenges. The panel will discuss the proper methods of determining the Subpart F income earned by U.S. persons that qualify as U.S. shareholders of controlled foreign corporations (CFCs) and how to report such Subpart F income. The panel will assist tax pros in navigating Forms 5471 and 1118 and discuss tax planning techniques to minimize tax liability and penalties.

Description

The Subpart F rules require U.S. shareholders of CFCs to treat certain types of foreign corporate income as taxable in the current year. The Subpart F rules increase the number of foreign corporations treated as CFCs and catch many more U.S. persons in the Subpart F net. Tax professionals must recognize the resulting U.S. foreign tax information reporting challenges for U.S. persons owning foreign corporations. Advisers need to expand their Subpart F expertise to navigate the two most relevant Subpart F reporting platforms: Form 5471 and Form 1118.

The panel will also compare Subpart F with the GILTI anti-deferral regime. Due to the GILTI anti-deferral regime, a U.S. shareholder of a CFC may even wish to trigger Subpart F income to get out of the GILTI rules because Subpart F income is subject to less stringent U.S. foreign tax credit strictures than GILTI.

Listen as our panel discusses Subpart F rules and provides a practical guide to determining CFC ownership, Subpart F income, and reporting obligations for U.S. shareholders of CFCs with Subpart F income.
