2018-05-29 SALT Battles Begin

May 27, 2018 by Ed Zollars, CPA

Current Federal Tax Developments for the week of May 29, 2018: SALT Battles Begin. Current Federal Tax Developments is brought to you by the state CPA societies and Kaplan Professional Education.

This week we look at the following items:

  • FBAR penalty limited to lower amount in old regulation
  • Taxpayer had not started a business yet, so no current deduction allowed for expenses incurred
  • IRS to issue regulations on SALT/charity workarounds, raises substance over form issue
  • DC Circuit agrees with Ninth Circuit that partnerships with disregarded entity partners are subject to TEFRA (and presumably subject to CPAR) audits
