Faculty

Description

Carried interest refers to the compensation general partners of hedge, private equity, and real estate funds received for their fund management services. Historically, the general partner recipients of carried interest were able to treat these payments as long-term capital gain to the extent the underlying assets met the required holding period. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 made significant changes to the tax treatment of carried interest. Final regulations issued in January of 2021 provided valuable guidance for application of the carried interest rules while still leaving a number of issues unresolved.

Listen as our experienced panel provides practical guidance on the recent regulations, the tax reporting, and planning challenges in the new carried interest rules and impending changes to Section 1061.
