"I enjoy the online CPE because it allows for me to stay up-to-date with pertinent accounting issues while studying on my own time. I can pause the sessions and resume at my convenience. I feel the CPE is highly relevant as a majority of the sessions have lecturers who are experts in their field. The online interface that NYSSCPA utilizes is user friendly and allows me to easily sort by topic."

  • The IRS’s Offshore Voluntary Disclosure Program Has Ended—Now What?
    Mar 31, 2020

    On Sep. 28, 2018, the IRS’s Offshore Voluntary Disclosure Program (OVDP) came to an end; however, offshore tax and reporting noncompliance persists in today’s increasingly global economy. Tax advisors are still helping clients who have been—or continue to be—noncompliant with their offshore tax and reporting obligations. This Q&A addresses some of the common issues that taxpayers and their advisors are dealing with in a post-OVDP world.
  • IRC Section 1202 Ignites Investor Interest
    Mar 31, 2020
    Alan Patricof, a vanguard in the venture capital industry, was instrumental in the enactment of IRC section 1202 as part of the Revenue Reconciliation Act of 1993 in order to encourage investment in small businesses. IRC section 1202 only applies to stock in C corporations, and initially it did not receive a lot of attention. Since its enactment, though, it has undergone several changes. The 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA), however, reduced the corporate tax rate from 35% to 21%, making operating as a C corporation more attractive to investors.

For that reason, this discussion provides a beginning overview of the basics of tax exemption—and will be continued in an upcoming article in next month’s TaxStringer.
