  • November 5, 2014 It’s not business, it’s personal

    Parties to merger and acquisition (M&A) transactions involving closely held corporations may enjoy certain tax benefits if they can allocate a portion of the purchase price to individual shareholders’ personal goodwill. Although the IRS doesn’t much like personal goodwill, a recent Tax Court case (see the sidebar "Personal goodwill is alive and well") confirms that it remains a viable tax-planning tool under the right circumstances.

  • November 5, 2014 Second Homes In New York May Have Severe Tax Consequences

    The New York State and New York City tax laws have numerous traps for unwary nonresidents. To avoid one of the biggest tax hazards, nonresidents owning or renting homes within New York must be aware of the applicable residency tests and what records they should maintain to avoid a dual residency determination. Nonresidents of New York State are only taxed on income earned in or sourced to the state. New York City only taxes city residents. However, if a nonresident is not attentive to the residency tests, the tax consequences can have New York State, and possibly New York City, seeking to impose tax on all income, including interest, dividends, and capital gains, regardless of its source.
