About the program
The pressure on federal revenue has been enhanced by the response to COVID-19. The increase scrutiny of taxpayer’s returns is inevitable. Recent data suggests that the rate of audit of gift tax returns has more than doubled. Vulnerabilities in the wealth transfer planning that have been exploited by the IRS examiners have been focused on valuation, Chapter 14 deficiencies, and 2036/2038 retained interests.
In this program, Christopher Siegle will explore ways that planners can enhance the protective aspects of their clients’ plans through knowledge of Chapter 14 and its purposes, nuances of valuation of illiquid assets, value adjustment formulas, and long term grantor trusts as tools to fortify the plans offered to clients. With the approach toward building the team around the client, all bases of income, gift and estate taxes will be discussed in a collaborative context.
