Program Materials

This webinar will discuss the multitude of differences in state requirements for reporting foreign income. Our panel of experts in foreign income tax matters will explain the latest developments in state taxation of GILTI income, the corresponding Section 250 deduction, and Section 965 repatriation payments for practitioners and advisers reporting foreign income in multiple states.

Description

There are multiple methods employed by states to tax, or not tax, foreign income. GILTI income may be included unadjusted as part of federal taxable income in some states. States may allow a subtraction from federal taxable income and a corresponding addition of the GILTI Section 250 deduction. Other states have developed unique criteria for GILTI taxation with Tennessee, for example, requiring a five percent addback of GILTI income and Maine allowing a 50 percent deduction for the amounts included in state income.

Many of the decisions surrounding taxability and reporting foreign income have stalled due to the 2020 pandemic. At the same time, SALT practitioners must be aware of the latest state developments surrounding taxation of foreign income to report tax accurately and avoid penalties in states that tax foreign income.

In addition to Section 951A income, there are significant differences in state taxation of repatriation payments under Section 965, 163(j) interest adjustments, and even foreign exchange gains and losses.

Listen as our panel of SALT experts in foreign tax matters explains the latest development in state taxation of foreign income.
