Description
The U.S. imposes taxes on foreign-sourced income of U.S. businesses and individuals, including certain income related to affiliated foreign companies. Tax reform added an inclusion rule for controlled foreign corporation (CFC) income: the GILTI rule. Tax professionals must understand the nuances of the GILTI rules and reporting challenges.
With TCJA's creation of the GILTI anti-deferral regime under IRC Section 951A, all tax professionals serving U.S. businesses operating abroad via CFCs must understand the implications of the GILTI rules and the challenges they pose with regard to reporting GILTI. Since the GILTI rules are recent, sweeping, complex, and are still evolving, reporting the GILTI of a U.S. business is a task beset by uncertainties. The panel will provide tax professionals with guidance on how to navigate GILTI reporting issues involving Forms 5471, 8992, 8993, and 1118.
Listen as our panel provides tax professionals with guidance on the challenges of the GILTI rules. The panel will discuss calculating GILTI and the Section 250 deduction, particularly for individual taxpayers; reporting compliance; and navigating Forms 5471, 8992, 8993, and 1118. The panel will also offer tax planning tips to minimize the tax liability of taxpayers with CFC interests.
