Practical Guide to Cost Segregation, 4th Edition

Practical Guide to Cost Segregation (Fourth Edition) not only explains how a cost segregation study is performed, but also outlines the steps needed to practice in this discipline and how to integrate and expand the broad practice of the firm taking it on. Comprehensive discussion is supported by practical illustrative examples. The book also explains how to sell and price cost segregation studies and analysis as a meaningful service to a firm's clients. 

Cost segregation involves much more than real estate. Land improvements and personal property components potentially eligible for separate depreciation over a reduced depreciation period include parking lots, sidewalks, curbs, roads, fences, storm sewers, landscaping, signage, lighting, security and fire protection systems, removable partitions, removable carpeting and wall tiling, furniture, and counters. Also potentially eligible are appliances and machinery unrelated to the operation and maintenance of the building and the portion of electrical wiring and plumbing properly allocable to machinery and equipment that is unrelated to the operation and maintenance of the building.

Chapter 2   Opportunities for Cost Segregation Studies
Chapter 3   Working with the Client

Grantor Trust Answer Book, 2014 (US)

A grantor trust is a trust in which the settlor retains control over the trust property or its income to such an extent that the settlor is taxed on the trust's income. 

The use of grantor trust arrangements has become an important estate planning tool. Owners of grantor trusts may be shareholders of S corporations. A number of desirable and sophisticated estate planning arrangements involve grantor trust status as the starting point. These include grantor retained annuity trusts (GRATs), grantor retained unitrusts (GRUTs), personal residence trusts (PRTs), qualified personal residence trusts (QPRTs) and intentionally defective grantor trusts (IDGTs).

The Grantor Trust Answer Book will address the following:
  • The grantor trust rules can be found in Code Sections 671 through 678. Each of these Sections describes a particular set of rules and circumstances that will cause a trust to be treated as a grantor trust. Each of these Code Sections is discussed in a separate Chapter addressing its rules and requirements.
  • Some of the interests retained by a grantor that make a trust a grantor trust also cause inclusion of the trust property in the grantor’s estate. Other interests do not. These distinctions are discussed throughout the publication.
  • Separate chapters address the estate planning uses of all types of grantor trusts (GRATs and GRUTs, PRTs and QPRTs, IDGTs).
  • Grantor trust issues are involved in the design of certain charitable trusts, notably charitable lead trusts and these are discussed in detail.
  • Coverage of foreign grantor trusts which are increasingly a topic of planning interest and government concern is included as well. 
  • The fact that grantor trusts are subject to special income tax filing and reporting rules is discussed.
  • The role grantor trusts may have in planning for life insurance ownership, like kind exchanges and involuntary conversions is also among the issues addressed.

Governmental GAAP Practice Manual (2014) (US)

Demonstrates in a detailed manner how a governmental entity can implement the complex standards established by GASB-34 and beyond through a worksheet approach. (A companion publication, Governmental GAAP Guide, discusses financial accounting and reporting standards necessary to prepare the basic external financial statements of a governmental entity.) The emphasis of Governmental GAAP Practice Manual is on the process of preparing financial statements.

Chapter 1 provides a detailed analysis of the interrelationship between the modified accrual basis of accounting and the accrual basis of accounting. Included is a comprehensive checklist of transactions and events that typically require a worksheet entry. Starting in Chapter 2 is a comprehensive illustration that continues through the remaining chapters of the book. For governmental funds, a variety of transactions are illustrated and journalized in Chapters 2 through 6, which result in a year-end trial balance for each individual fund based on the modified accrual basis of accounting. In Chapter 14, these trial balances are used as the basis for developing the information needed to prepare the fund financial statements. Chapter 16 illustrates the worksheet methodology for converting the information to the accrual basis.

A similar approach is used for proprietary funds and fiduciary funds.

Chapter 17 uses the information developed in previous chapters to present management's discussion and analysis, notes, and other required supplementary information mandated by the GASB standards.

Foreign Bank Account Reporting Compliance Guide, 2014

Previously called:  FBAR Compliance Guide to Foreign Bank Account Reporting Compliance Guide.

If one owns or has authority over a foreign financial account, including a bank account, brokerage account, mutual fund, unit trust or some other type of financial account, he or she may be required to make an annual report of the account to the Internal Revenue Service. Under the Bank Secrecy Act, each United States person must file a Report of Foreign Bank and Financial Accounts (FBAR) (Form TD F 90-22.1), if the person has a financial interest in or signature authority (or other authority that is comparable to signature authority) over one or more accounts in a foreign country and the aggregate value of all foreign financial accounts exceeds threshold amounts at any time during the calendar year.

In addition, the Hiring Incentives to Restore Employment Act (HIRE Act), signed into law by President Obama in 2010, substantially incorporates the measures designed to stop tax evasion contained in the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) of 2009.

Under FATCA, U.S. taxpayers with specified foreign financial assets that exceed certain thresholds must report those assets to the IRS on Form 8938, which will be attached to their federal income tax return. This reporting is in addition to the foreign bank account report, Form TDF 90-22.1 (FBAR).

The Form 8938 reporting is applicable to all “specified persons” who are considered to hold an interest in a “specified foreign financial asset” which meets the “reporting thresholds.” In December 2011, the IRS issued temporary (TD 9567) and proposed (REG-130302-10) regulations which provide guidance on the requirement that certain foreign financial assets be reported to the IRS for tax years beginning after March 2010. This requirement comes from Section 6038D which was added to the Internal Revenue Code under the HIRE Act.

The Foreign Bank Account Reporting Compliance Guide is an essential resource because substantial civil penalties may be imposed for non-wilful violations and for wilful violations criminal penalties and imprisonment may be imposed in addition to the civil penalties.

This is an important new IRS compliance requirement with huge monetary civil penalties at stake as well as potential criminal consequences. It has ongoing compliance reporting requirements with enforcement teeth behind it and this publication provides the necessary guidance.
