TEI's 2010 Seminar on Selected Issues in Consolidated Returns will be held November 18-19, 2010 at the DFW Marriott Solana Hotel in Westlake, Texas.
SEMINAR PROGRAM
During the past 20 years, the Internal Revenue Service and Treasury Department have fundamentally reshaped the consolidated tax return rules, moving from a separate-member to a single-entity regime. The rules governing intercompany transactions, investment adjustments, and corporate loss utilization (including the separate return limitation year and section 382 rules) have all been significantly revised. With the promulgation of “unified loss” rules in 2008 to replace the former “loss disallowance” regulations, the Treasury Department and IRS seemingly reached the end of a long journey. Then came the recession . . . and congressional and IRS tinkering to alleviate its severity. From the temporary cancellation of indebtedness rule to a more workable regulation on the identification of ownership changes among five-percent shareholders, new guidance emerged... and more is coming.
Consolidated return preparation and planning is one of the most complex areas of law that tax executives must understand in order to serve their employers. To ensure the continuing professionalism of TEI’s members in this important area, TEI’s Federal Tax Committee has planned a comprehensive seminar to update members on the latest legislative, judicial, and administrative developments relating to consolidated returns. The two-day program, Selected Issues in Consolidated Tax Returns, will be held on November 18-19, 2010, at the Marriott Solana in Westlake, Texas (near the Dallas/Fort Worth Airport). The seminar will address the nuts and bolts of consolidated tax returns, enabling participants to learn or become re-acquainted with the compliance challenges and planning opportunities for affiliated groups and controlled transactions. The focus will then shift to more advanced topics, such as acquisitions and separations of members of affiliated groups. In addition, streamlining corporate structures in connection with acquisitions and dispositions and key federal and state transactional issues will be covered. Finally, the seminar will address critical state and local tax planning issues for combined/consolidated returns as well as a review of state tax trends.
Special Counsel to the IRS Associate Chief Counsel (Corporate) Lawrence M. Axelrod will deliver the luncheon address on Thursday, November 18, providing an update on the issues of the day affecting corporations, especially affiliated groups filing consolidated tax returns.
Registrations will be processed on a first-come, first-served basis, so I urge you to review the brochure and register online, by mail, or by fax as soon as possible.
