NSA Speakers Presenting at 2018 IRS Tax Forums
NSA is presenting sessions at five summer IRS Tax Forums this year. Visit our table, meet NSA staff and volunteers, and learn more about NSA benefits. You can even renew your membership or join NSA onsite. Below are titles and descriptions of our sessions.
Partnership Schedule K-1 – What You Need to Know in Light of The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act
Do you feel overwhelmed when your client hands you a partnership Schedule K-1 (Form 1065)? Where do you start, what questions do you ask, and what do you need to know? What qualifies for the 20 percent Qualified Business Income (QBI) deduction? With the increasing popularity of pass through entities, it is more likely that you may be dealing with a Schedule K-1 from a partnership on your client’s tax return. This session will discuss how to take the Schedule K-1 items to the 1040 tax return and practice points on issues such as passive and active participation, basis issues, and unreimbursed partner expenses. This session includes real life examples, potential hazards, and resources to keep you in compliance and help you report the Schedule K-1 correctly.

S Corporation Hot Spots – What You Need to Know in Light of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act
For the last several years, S corporations have been the most popular entity for a small business. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) impacts S corporations in a variety of ways. In this session, we will cover what you need to know about the tax act provisions and their effect on S corporation “hot spots.” This seminar will include a new analysis of reasonable compensation, health insurance, cash vs. accrual basis, shareholder loans and distributions, depreciation, fringe benefits, accountable plans and revoking the S election. It is more important than ever to understand and watch out for the hazard areas of S corporations.
