Description

Defensive tax return disclosures are made on Forms 8275 or 8275R, depending on whether the declared position is consistent or inconsistent with extant treasury regulations. However, the reason for filing defensive tax return disclosures goes beyond avoiding penalties associated with intentional disregard for rules and regulations. Preempting IRS deficiency notice presumptive correctness is a dominating consideration. This webcast explains.

This webcast involves Section 179 depreciation expense at the partnership level in a startup operation. Although not incorporated into this webcast, Dr. Jenkins wants to share his paper, "Why Section 179(b)(3)(A)'s Business Income Limitation Does Not Apply to Partnerships or S Corporations." The paper is currently in peer review at a university tax journal. Also, the ACPEN/BPN webcast based on this paper will be first aired during the week of September 25-29, 2017. Please be sure to look for that announcement and register for the webcast.
