About the Course
Introduction
This CLE/CPE course will guide tax professionals and advisers on critical tax presence and residency issues for individuals and businesses stemming from COVID-19.
Description
The health risks of COVID-19 and federal and local government responses create tax presence and residency issues for businesses and individuals. Tax professionals and advisers must have a solid understanding of the relevant rules for nonresident aliens and non-U.S. businesses and their interplay with recent Treasury and IRS guidance in light of the coronavirus pandemic.
On Apr. 21, 2020, in response to COVID-19 and travel and other disruptions, Treasury and the IRS provided guidance, specifically Rev. Proc. 2020-20 and Rev. Proc. 2020-27, along with “Frequently Asked Questions” issued by the IRS, to mitigate potential negative tax consequences for individuals and businesses, including with respect to residency, the foreign income exclusion, and U.S. trade or business and permanent establishment issues.
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 recent IRS guidance, and best practices for taxpayers.
