This book presents a simplified description of the IRS tax and reporting requirements with an emphasis on “real world” situations. Examples and diagrams help the reader through the maze. First, the book introduces basic concepts and terms. This discussion follows the order of the regulations, and the reader is introduced to relevant terminology and acronyms. Second, it paints a relatively comprehensive picture of a typical structure (one with just a few “bells and whistles”) and illustrates this with a simple diagram. Then, it proceeds to set forth a number of fact patterns by changing a few of the assumptions. Next, it describes how to comply with the rules in the context of the various fact patterns. Third, a handful of recommendations on compliance are made. These are based on experience with the new rules. Fourth, Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) are answered. Features a Glossary at the end. Copies of the important IRS regulations, notices, announcements, forms, instructions, and publications are reproduced in the WORKPAPERS. Published under the Transnational Publishers imprint.
