6 Technical Must-Reads for CPAs from the AICPA Tax Adviser’s August Tax Clinic

by Tony Bakale

August 03, 2020 Transaction Services, Federal Tax Planning & Compliance, International Filings & Structuring, Investment Company Tax, State & Local Tax

Today’s economic and regulatory environment is like no other. However, as businesses face significant challenges, there are also areas of opportunity — if you know where to look.

As editor of the AICPA’s Tax Adviser August Tax Clinic, a special section in the professional journal that brings current tax issues to light, I am reminded (and proud) of the depth of knowledge Cohen & Company is fortunate to have among its tax professionals.

This year’s Cohen & Company contributors focused on helping practitioners nationwide better understand areas such as state and local considerations in F reorganizations, phantom stock conversions, export tax incentives, partnership allocations and, of course, ramifications of the recently passed CARES Act — specifically NOL carrybacks and the AMT, and opportunities available on previously filed returns.

Below is a comprehensive list of Cohen & Company articles as they appear in the issue.

  1. State and local considerations in using an F reorganization to facilitate an acquisition — Hannah Prengler, CPA, and Sara Britt, J.D.
  2. Issues in converting phantom stock plans to actual ownership — Phil Baptiste, CPA, MT
  3. Export tax incentives after the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act — Ray Polantz, CPA, MT
  4. Interplay between NOL carrybacks and the AMT — Andreana Shengelya, CPA, MT
  5. Partnership allocations lacking substantial economic effect — Derek Godwin, CPA (formerly with Cohen & Company)
  6. The CARES Act and opportunities to implement changes on previously filed returns — Robert Venables, CPA, J.D., LL.M.
