Our panel will brief attendees on state recognition rules and other complexities that apply to multistate S corps, LLCs, and partnerships.

Faculty

Description

More and more pass-through entities have a legally recognized presence in more than one state due to recent changes in federal tax law and precedents regarding nexus. As a result, tax advisers and counsel must prepare to advise multistate pass-through entities and their owners to manage and comply with complex and often inconsistent state tax law requirements.

If pass-through entity owners are located in many states, this compounds the already complex challenges for tax counsel and advisers and may expose the entity to further state tax obligations. Counsel and advisers need tools to balance the myriad competing state law obligations they will face.

Listen as our experienced panel carefully reviews the complex interaction of varying state tax law regimes with pass-through entities. Attendees will benefit from a discussion of state recognition rules, election issues, federal conformity, composite returns, and more.

Outline

  1. State conformity to the federal treatment of pass-through entities
  2. Jurisdiction to tax (nexus) pass-through entities and their owners
  3. Apportionment of pass-through entity income
