CohnReznick Insights
Should you make the real property trade or business (RPTOB) election on your 2019 tax return? Are your tax exempt bond financed deals meeting the 50% test for the year? What factors evolving now could affect your tax credit equity adjusters later? Beth Mullen lays out these and other matters for property owners to consider as 2019 comes to a close.
Also, if you missed our National Tax Service’s Dec. 5 webinar “Year-End Tax Planning Considerations for Businesses and Individuals,” a recording is now available. The discussion covered considerations from the perspectives of partnerships, trusts and estates, and individuals.
Leaders from CohnReznick’s Tax Credit Investment Services (TCIS) group recently rolled out their latest reporting on more than 20,000 low-income housing tax credit (LIHTC) properties nationwide. They also launched the Affordable Housing Portfolio Performance Indicator (PPI), an online interface that allows users to interact with this data. Both can help investors and developers leverage the nation’s most comprehensive reporting of its kind on numerous data points for performance and expenses.
