This CLE/CPE webinar will provide estate planning counsel and advisers with an overview of private foundation excise tax rules and a practical guide to self-dealing rules. The panel will also discuss pitfalls to avoid, corrective measures, and avoiding penalties.

Description

The increased control over distributions and enhanced income and transfer tax advantages have fueled the rise in private foundations as an estate planning vehicle. However, private foundations are subject to self-dealing rules that can significantly impact estate and tax planning strategies and must be considered to avoid costly mistakes.

There are rules against "self-dealing" with related persons which must be taken into account when structuring private foundations and related transactions. Section 4941(d) defines "self-dealing," as "any direct or indirect furnishing of goods, services or facilities between a private foundation and a disqualified person;" however, generally, if the goods, services, or facilities are provided at no charge and used exclusively for the purposes specified in IRC Section 501(c)(3), such transactions will not be considered "self-dealing."

Listen as our experienced panel provides a thorough and practical guide to the federal income tax treatment and detailed requirements for private foundations, the general principles of self-dealing and potential consequences, and their impact on estate planning and administration.
