Book excerpt: CCH's American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012: Law, Explanation and Analysis provides tax professionals with a single integrated reference source covering all aspects of this important legislation. Along with the impacted Internal Revenue Code provisions, CCH editors, together with leading tax practitioners and commentators, have created a complete practical analysis. The American Taxpayer Relief Act allows the Bush-era tax rates to sunset after 2012 for individuals with incomes over $400,000 and families with incomes over $450,000; permanently patches the alternative minimum tax (AMT); revives many now-expired tax extenders, including the research tax credit and the American Opportunity Tax Credit; and provides for a maximum estate tax of 40 percent with a $5 million exclusion. The bill also delays the mandatory across-the-board spending cuts known as sequestration. Highlights of the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 include: -- 39.6% tax rate for incomes above $400,000 ($450,000 for joint filers) -- All other Bush-era tax rates extended -- 20% maximum capital gains tax rate -- Permanent AMT patch -- Five-year extension of American Opportunity Tax Credit -- One-year extension of business tax extenders The law is arranged in Code section sequence. CCH also provides several special tables and lists to facilitate quick and thorough understanding of the law and how it would affect taxpayers. Features include an effective dates table organized by Code section, a listing by Code section of the Act sections affecting it, and a listing by Act section of the Code sections affected. CCH's Law, Explanation and Analysis book is the resource that tax professionals, businesses, government staff and students alike need to get all the details of and help on new tax legislation changes. CCH provides the critical, late-breaking explanation and analysis to help readers make sense of complex legislative change so they can plan, respond and advise with confidence.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: JCS-5-05. Joint Committee Print. Provides an explanation of tax legislation enacted in the 108th Congress. Arranged in chronological order by the date each piece of legislation was signed into law. This document, prepared by the staff of the Joint Committee on Taxation in consultation with the staffs of the House Committee on Ways and Means and the Senate Committee on Finance, provides an explanation of tax legislation enacted in the 108th Congress. The explanation follows the chronological order of the tax legislation as signed into law. For each provision, the document includes a description of present law, explanation of the provision, and effective date. Present law describes the law in effect immediately prior to enactment. It does not reflect changes to the law made by the provision or subsequent to the enactment of the provision. For many provisions, the reasons for change are also included. In some instances, provisions included in legislation enacted in the 108th Congress were not reported out of committee before enactment. For example, in some cases, the provisions enacted were included in bills that went directly to the House and Senate floors. As a result, the legislative history of such provisions does not include the reasons for change normally included in a committee report. In the case of such provisions, no reasons for change are included with the explanation of the provision in this document. In some cases, there is no legislative history for enacted provisions. For such provisions, this document includes a description of present law, explanation of the provision, and effective date, as prepared by the staff of the Joint Committee on Taxation. In some cases, contemporaneous technical explanations of certain bills were prepared and published by the staff of the Joint Committee. In those cases, this document follows the technical explanations. Section references are to the Internal Revenue Code unless otherwise indicated.

Download or read book Understanding Federal Income Taxation written by J. Martin Burke and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Understanding Federal Income Taxation consists of forty-four chapters with each chapter addressing a basic topic in individual income taxation, e.g., the taxation of personal injury awards, the interest deduction, installment sales. Because the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code are necessarily at the heart of tax study, a part or all of the Code section(s) pertinent to the specific topic are included in each chapter. Likewise, the chapters contain summaries of leading cases and relevant administrative rulings as well as numerous examples explaining the application of the law. Like the prior edition published in 2008, this new Fourth Edition of Understanding Federal Income Taxation is a valuable resource for students studying the tax law for the first time and for general practitioners handling transactions with individual income tax concerns. The Fourth Edition incorporates recent developments in the Internal Revenue Code, including new and amended provisions enacted as part of the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012. In addition, this new edition addresses important recent income tax cases as well as revised regulations and other new administrative materials. Many of these tax law changes are illustrated in new and revised examples included in the Fourth Edition.

Thoroughly up to date, this edition incorporates the changes arising from the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012, the so-called ¿fiscal cliff¿ legislation.

Thereafter, the book covers various major topics of taxation¿including real estate taxation, intellectual property taxation, family taxation, tax consequences of litigation, and deferred compensation -- with an emphasis on tax planning. It is designed to give students an appreciation for how the law of taxation connects with everyday events of American life. The book also contains chapters on corporate and partnership income taxation, international income taxation and the federal wealth transfer taxes in order to introduce students to those important areas of tax law. In this cogent, straightforward treatment of a complex subject, the topics, the selection of cases, and the design of the problems are all calculated to make tax fun and thought-provoking. This edition is available in both hard copy and electronic versions. A teacher¿s manual with complete solutions to all of the problems is available.

Download or read book Tax Planning After the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 written by David R. Nave and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 13 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For more than a decade taxpayers have enjoyed a 15-percent tax rate on long-term capital gains. The 15-percent rate was the lowest maximum tax rate on long-term capital gains since 1954. On January 2, 2013, Congress passed the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 (ATRA). ATRA permanently increased the top capital gain tax rate to 20 percent (up from 15-percent) for single filers with taxable incomes above $400,000 and married couples filing jointly with taxable incomes exceeding $450,000. In addition as part of the Health Care legislation a new 3.8-percent Medicare surtax applies on net investment income, which includes capital gains.This results in an overall rate for higher-income taxpayers of 23.8 percent -- a staggering 58.69-percent increase in 2013 from 2012 tax rates.The real kicker is the application of the capital gains tax rates to trusts. A trust is hit with the increased rate on any income the trust does not distribute over $11,950. This is significantly less than the $400,000/$450,000 taxable incomes from the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 and the $200,000/$250,000 adjusted gross income from the Health Care legislation that is applicable to individuals. Many trusts accumulate capital gains in the trust and pay tax within the trust. Generally in the past the capital gain rate in the trust and the rate that would be applicable to the beneficiary were the same 15-percent. Therefore, generally the tax paid would be the same amount. Under the new rules in 2013 it is possible that the trust may be paying a capital gains tax at a 23.8-percent rate while the individual might be taxed at a 15-percent.With a 58.69-percent increase in 2013 and beyond, high-income taxpayers and trusts might look to ways to defer the recognition of the capital gain in the current tax year. In addition trusts in certain instances might look to have capital gains be part of the distributable net income (DNI). This article examines strategies to defer the recognition of the gain and the ability to monetize the position. Strategies that are examined are as follows:Variable Prepaid Forward ContractCollars Buy a Put and Sell a CallNonrecourse Loan against Publicly Traded StockEstablishing a Short-against-the-box after 1997Use a short-against-the-box to defer taxable gains from 2013 to 2014Charitable Gain Harvesting to offload gain to charitySale to an ESOPCharitable Remainder TrustsCapital Gains in a trust to be included in DNI.
