This course will provide fund managers and their advisers with a practical guide to the challenges and planning opportunities found in the carried interest regulations.

Description

IRC Section 1061 passed as part of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) and related regulations made fundamental changes to the tax treatment of carried interest granted to managers of hedge funds, private equity, and real estate funds and present tax reporting and planning challenges to partnerships and their tax advisers.

Carried interest refers to the practice of granting profits interests to general partners and others for their fund management services The grant of profits interest is, generally, not subject to tax upon either grant or vesting.

Prior to the passage of TCJA in 2017, the recipients of carried interest were able to treat their share of allocated capital gains generated by the funds as long-term capital gain to the extent the assets generating the gain were held for greater than one year.

IRC Section 1061 passed as part of the TCJA and related regulations did not eliminate the carried interest preference entirely but made several fundamental changes. Section 1061 regulations provide extensive guidance on how the carried interest rules should be applied while still leaving a number of issues unresolved.

Listen as our experienced panel provides practical guidance on the carried interest regulations and the tax reporting and planning challenges contained in these rules.
