About the Course

Introduction

This CLE/CPE course will provide tax counsel and compliance professionals guidance on the rules, reporting requirements, and available tax planning mechanisms for U.S. nonresident alien (NRA) taxpayers and foreign businesses. The panel will discuss the impact of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA), offer approaches for determining taxpayer classification, identifying and reporting income subject to U.S. income tax, available exemptions, deductions, and credits in light of recent IRS compliance campaigns and tax planning tips for U.S. NRA taxpayers and foreign businesses.

Description

The OBBBA introduces changes that impact NRAs and foreign businesses, including modifications regarding tax compliance, business deductions, and attribution rules for foreign corporations. Tax professionals and advisers must have a solid understanding of the relevant rules for NRAs and non-U.S. businesses and their interplay with the OBBBA and recent Treasury and IRS guidance.

Under the OBBBA, NRAs remain ineligible for the U.S. standard deduction, continue to be taxed only on their U.S.-source income and income effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business, and may be subject to a 1% excise tax on personal cash-based remittances transferred from the U.S. to overseas recipients.

For foreign or multinational businesses, the OBBBA redefines global intangible low-taxed income and foreign-derived intangible income, Section 174 R&D expensing and deductions, bonus interest deductions under Section 163(j), and reinstates 100% bonus depreciation.

Tax professionals must carefully navigate the complexities of these tax rules and their impact on U.S. NRAs and foreign businesses.

Listen as our panel guides tax professionals and advisers in determining taxpayer status for non-U.S. citizens and businesses, challenges for U.S. citizens currently working abroad, reporting requirements and available mechanisms in light of the OBBBA, and best practices for taxpayers.
