  • Corporate International Tax Issues v2.0
    Sep 27, 2019

    If you’re a CPA or a manager in a corporate finance department, it’s more important than ever to understand how the new tax law affects cross-border transactions and international tax. Since the Tax Cuts & Jobs Act (TCJA) was passed in late 2017, millions of individuals and entities have had to rethink their tax planning and tax structures completely. Going from a credit system to a territorial system is a monumental shift—you might as well be going from Earth to Mars. Everything you did in the past is no longer valid. You need to start fresh.
  • The Case for the Continuing Relevance of the Gift Tax
    Sep 27, 2019

    With the passage of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the 2017 Tax Act) the lifetime exemptions from estate, gift and generation skipping transfer tax (GST) more than doubled from an already steep $5,490,000 to a cliff-hanging $11,180,000 as of January 1, 2018. As in the past, these exemption amounts continue to be adjusted for inflation leaving us with a gift tax exemption of $11,400,000 as of January 1, 2019. New York State repealed its gift tax back at the turn of the millennia, so the gift tax is strictly a federal phenomenon for New Yorkers.
  • IRS and Cryptocurrency: Where are We Now and What Next?
    Sep 27, 2019
    Over the past few years, the IRS has been slowly issuing guidance and warnings regarding the reporting and taxation of the usage and exchanging of virtual currency. Recently, on July 26, 2019, the IRS advised those who have engaged in virtual currency usage that they have begun sending educational letters to taxpayers with virtual currency transactions who either may have failed to report income and pay the resulting tax from virtual currency transactions or did not report their transactions properly.
  • Taxation of Carried Interests for Senior-Level Fund Managers
    Sep 27, 2019
    Carried interest arrangements have been common for years in many types of private investment funds (“Funds”), including private equity, real estate, and hedge funds. Going back a few decades, the tax analysis applicable to carried interests was highly uncertain.
