Foreign trust structures with US beneficiaries: finding income and reportable interests. 15 November 2022

Topic:

Lawrence M. Lipoff will discuss foreign entity attribution through foreign trusts to their US beneficiaries. In particular, Larry will address:

• When a foreign trust owns interests in closely-held foreign companies, hedge funds, and partnerships, how might this impact U.S. beneficiaries and what types of advance planning might be considered?
• In addition to income tax, what might be required in terms of informational reporting, even including FBARs and soon the Corporate Transparency Act?
