Preventing Tax-Related Identity Theft with an IP PIN

Tax | Aug 10, 2021

Tax related identity theft is an issue that began several years ago and has been steadily increasing as each year passes.  We see this most often when electronically filed tax returns are rejected by the IRS with the most common reason for the rejections being due to previously filed fraudulent returns.  Fraudsters can file tax returns using a taxpayer’s (or dependent’s) social security number in order to generate fraudulent refunds without the taxpayer’s knowledge.

Planning for the Negative Tax Impact of the SECURE Act on your IRA and 401(k) Beneficiaries

Tax | Jan 13, 2020

In this era of Congressional contentiousness, any legislation that comes out of those chambers with bipartisan support deserves note. Such is the case with the SECURE Act, an acronym for “Setting Every Community Up for Retirement Enhancement,” which was passed last July by a near-unanimous vote in the House of Representatives. But the SECURE Act also warrants a note of caution for those heavily invested in IRAs and/or 401(k) plans because it truly is a “game-changer,” and not for the better, when it comes to the distribution and taxation of withdrawals from inherited plans.

US State-to-State Business Travel Compliance and Risks

While organisations often overlook tax-compliance requirements related to business travel, the days of simply traveling to and working in a different state or country for business without a thought to tax liabilities are coming to an end. Looking for additional tax revenue, US state taxing authorities are becoming stricter and more vigilant in monitoring business travel. Extensive time spent on business travel in a country outside the US, or even a different state within the US, could create a PE exposure for the employing entity.

US Tax Compliance for Foreign Trusts: A Primer

A threshold question in determining how a trust will be taxed in the US is whether the trust is foreign or domestic. The default rule is that a trust is foreign, unless the trust fails both the “Court Test” and the “Control Test.” The Court Test is met if a US court is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of the trust. The “Control Test” is satisfied if one or more US persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust.
