House and Senate lawmakers have started their August recess, leaving pending tax legislation for after Labor Day. In past years, September has been a busy month for tax legislation and this year is likely to be the same. Before leaving Capitol Hill, lawmakers took actions in several areas related to tax reform.

House and Senate lawmakers have started their August recess, leaving pending tax legislation for after Labor Day. In past years, September has been a busy month for tax legislation and this year is likely to be the same. Before leaving Capitol Hill, lawmakers took actions in several areas related to tax reform.

House action

In the House, the  Budget Committee approved along party lines a fiscal year (FY) 2018 budget resolution. The resolution calls for:

• Simplifying the tax code to promote fairness for American families and businesses;
• Lowering tax rates for individuals and consolidating the seven tax brackets into fewer brackets;
• Repealing the alternative minimum tax (AMT); and
• Reducing the corporate tax rate.

The budget resolution does not set out specific tax changes or include legislative language. Rather, according to GOP leaders in the House, the budget resolution will serve as the vehicle for tax legislation at a future date.  House Budget Committee Chair Diane Black, R-Tennessee, predicted that tax reform will be "deficit neutral" and will "reduce tax rates and simplify the tax code." Budget Committee Ranking Member John Yarmuth, D-Kentucky, said that the resolution "adopts the worst extremes of the President's proposals by cutting taxes for millionaires and billionaires at the expense of everyone else."

Administration discussions

Since May, White House and Treasury Department officials have been meeting with business leaders, representatives of business and taxpayer groups, and other stakeholders in "listening sessions" about changes to the tax code. In July, Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin, after meeting with representatives from the agriculture sector, predicted that tax reform "would be done this year." Mnuchin said that "tax reform is one of our most important areas of focus.”

Bipartisan bills

Meanwhile, some stand-along tax bills have either passed committee or have been introduced. In July, the House Ways and Means Committee approved bipartisan legislation to overhaul the IRS's forfeiture authority. The Clyde-Hirsch-Sowers RESPECT Bill (HR 1843) was sponsored by Ways and Means Tax Policy Subcommittee Chair Peter Roskam, R-Illinois, and Democratic Caucus Chair Joe Crowley, D-New York. The RESPECT Act generally prohibits the IRS from seizing funds relating to a structuring transaction unless the  property to be seized is from an illegal source.

In the Senate, the Senate Finance Committee may take up a bipartisan bill to encourage retirement savings by enhancing growth of S corporations owned by employee stock ownership plans (ESOPs). The Promotion and Expansion of Private Employee Ownership Bill was introduced by Sen. Ben Cardin, D-Maryland, and Sen. Pat Roberts, R-Kansas. The lawmakers explained that their bill would amend the tax code to eliminate barriers that business owners face in establishing or expanding S corporation ESOPs. Similar bipartisan legislation is pending in the House.

Other pending tax bills include:

• HR 3068, which would enhance the research tax credit for domestic manufacturers.
• HR 3126, which would provide a tax credit to individuals for legal expenses paid  to establish guardianship of a family member with disabilities.
• HR 3138, which would generally treat Native American governments in the same manner as state governments for certain federal tax purposes.

Treasury tax position

The Treasury Department's top tax professional is the assistant secretary for tax policy. That position has been vacant since January 20. In July, the Senate Finance Committee unanimously approved President Trump’s nomination of David Kautter to serve as Treasury assistant secretary for tax policy. "This position is particularly important in the current environment as the administration is engaging with Congress on comprehensive tax reform," SFC Chair Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, said. Ranking member Ron Wyden, D-Oregon, said "it’s my hope that Mr. Kautter can help to bring Democrats and Republicans together." Kautter has worked at several major accounting firms over the past 30 years.

The IRS remains focused on an issue that doesn’t seem to be going away: the misclassification of workers as independent contractors rather than employees. Recently, the IRS issued still another fact sheet “reminding” employers about the importance of correctly classifying workers for purposes of federal employment taxes (FS-2017-9). Generally, employers must withhold income taxes, withhold and pay social security and Medicare taxes, and pay unemployment tax on wages paid to employees. They are lifted of these obligations entirely for independent contractors, with usually the only IRS-related responsibility being information reporting on amounts of $600 or more paid to a contractor.

The IRS remains focused on an issue that doesn’t seem to be going away: the misclassification of workers as independent contractors rather than employees. Recently, the IRS issued still another fact sheet “reminding” employers about the importance of correctly classifying workers for purposes of federal employment taxes (FS-2017-9). Generally, employers must withhold income taxes, withhold and pay social security and Medicare taxes, and pay unemployment tax on wages paid to employees. They are lifted of these obligations entirely for independent contractors, with usually the only IRS-related responsibility being information reporting on amounts of $600 or more paid to a contractor.

Weighing the factors

Whether a worker is an employee or an independent contractor depends on a number of considerations that fall into three categories: behavioral control, financial control and the type of relationship between the worker and the service recipient. Within these categories, the IRS has identified 20 factors that can be used to determine whether an individual is an independent contractor or effectively an "employee."  

The determination of independent contractor versus employee status is based on all of the facts and circumstances surrounding the relationship. None of the identified factors is determinative. In addition, not all factors are present in all employee or independent contractor relationships. Frequently, the relationship of a worker is clear cut using these factors; but sometimes a worker can fall into a gray area.

The Form SS-8 route

An employer who is unsure of how to classify its workers can file a Form SS-8, Determination of Worker Status for Purposes of Federal Employment Taxes and Income Tax Withholding. There is no fee for requesting a worker classification determination. Because worker classification has become such a “hot” audit trigger, many employers opt for the Form SS-8 route, particularly because penalties on top of back employment taxes can result from a classification misstep.

Other relief

After emphasizing in its latest Fact Sheet that employee misclassification as independent contractors exposes the employer to employment tax liability, the IRS also highlighted two ways to escape or ameliorate liability, even for an after-the-fact classification: “Section 530 relief” and relief under the Voluntary Classification Settlement Program.

Section 530 relief: An employer that has a reasonable basis for classifying its workers as independent contractors may be entitled to special relief under section 530 of the Revenue Act of 1978. "Section 530 relief" protects taxpayers who have consistently treated workers as independent contractors and have a reasonable basis for doing so. The rule covers workers who are common law employees, but it does not cover certain third-party-arranged technical service workers.

A reasonable basis for classification for purposes of Section 530 relief generally includes an employer's treatment of the individual based on any of the following:

• judicial precedent, published rulings, technical advice to the employer or a letter ruling to the employer;
• a past examination of the taxpayer by the IRS in which there was no assessment attributable to the treatment for employment tax purposes of individuals holding positions substantially similar to the position held by this individual; or
• long-standing recognized practice of a significant segment of the industry in which the individual was engaged.

Voluntary Classification Settlement Program.  Entry into the Voluntary Classification Settlement Program (VSCP) can provide an opportunity to reclassify workers as employees for future tax periods, with partial relief from federal employment taxes. Under the program, the employer:

• Agrees to prospectively treat the class of workers as employees for future tax periods;
• Will pay 10 percent of the employment tax liability that may have been due on compensation paid to the workers for the most recent tax year, determined under reduced rates;
• Will not be subject to an employment tax audit with respect to the worker classification of the workers being reclassified under the VCSP for prior years; and
• Will not be liable for any interest or penalties on the liability.

Under the VCSP, an employer may reclassify some or all of their workers. Once reclassified, all workers in the same class must be treated as employees for employment tax purposes.

Worker initiative

The IRS also makes it clear in its latest Fact Sheet on employee misclassification that action on its part may take place not only based on an employer-based initiative; workers can also have indirect input on whether an audit will take place. “Workers who believe an employer improperly classified them as independent contractors may use Form 8919, Uncollected Social Security and Medicare Tax on Wages, to figure and report the employee’s share of uncollected social security and Medicare taxes,” the IRS Fact Sheet concludes.

If you have any concerns surrounding possible worker misclassification within your business, please feel free to contact this office for a more targeted discussion.

A recent Tax Court decision and pending tax reform proposals have intersected in highlighting how stock sales can be timed for maximum tax advantage. The taxpayer in the recent case (Turan, TC Memo. 2017-141) failed to convince the Tax Court that he timely made an election with his broker to use the last-in-first-out (LIFO) method to set his cost-per-share cost basis for determining capital gains and losses on his stock trades on shares of the same company. As a result, he was required to calculate the capital gain or loss on his stock trades using the firm’s first-in-first-out (FIFO) “default” method, which, in his case, yielded a significant increase in tax liability for the year.

A recent Tax Court decision and pending tax reform proposals have intersected in highlighting how stock sales can be timed for maximum tax advantage. The taxpayer in the recent case (Turan, TC Memo. 2017-141) failed to convince the Tax Court that he timely made an election with his broker to use the last-in-first-out (LIFO) method to set his cost-per-share cost basis for determining capital gains and losses on his stock trades on shares of the same company. As a result, he was required to calculate the capital gain or loss on his stock trades using the firm’s first-in-first-out (FIFO) “default” method, which, in his case, yielded a significant increase in tax liability for the year.

Timing stock trades to maximize the tax advantage of long- and short-term capital gains and losses has always made sense, particularly as a year-end planning technique. This year, tax reform may make such strategies considerably more lucrative. If tax rates are suddenly set lower, either retroactively for this year or, more probably, starting January 1, 2018, managing stock basis becomes more significant. As a result, investors should consider carefully whether they may be better off tax-wise to give their brokers specific instructions in certain cases not to use the default FIFO method when selling certain holdings of the same company purchased at different times.

General FIFO rule

If a taxpayer purchases identical shares of stock at different prices or on different dates and then sells only part of the stock, the basis and holding period of the shares sold are determined on a FIFO basis unless the specific shares sold are adequately identified. The date of acquisition for purposes of the FIFO rule is determined by reference to the holding period of the securities for capital gain or loss purposes, including any prior holding period that has been tacked on.

Comment. Securities in a margin or other account with a broker are considered sold in the order in which they were purchased, not the order in which they were placed in the account. The FIFO rule is applied by allocating the earliest lots acquired to the securities sold rather than to the securities removed from the brokerage account but still owned.

Alternate identification

When the securities to be sold are specifically identifiable, FIFO does not apply for purposes of allocating basis. The identity of securities sold or otherwise transferred generally is determined by the certificates actually delivered to the transferee.

Planning Tip: Thus, taxpayers who have records showing the cost and holding period of securities represented by separate certificates can control the amount of gain or loss realized by selecting the certificates to be transferred.

A standing order or instruction to a broker is treated as adequate identification. The instructions need not be in writing. Sufficient instruction to a broker or other agent of the particular securities to be sold or transferred does not require designation by certificate number; any designation that specifically identifies the securities to be transferred is adequate. Orders to sell the highest priced shares, shares with the highest cost basis, or the shares purchased at a certain price or on a specific date have been ruled acceptable.

Broker reporting

A broker is required to report the customer’s basis in securities sold, classifying the gain as short or long term. Identification of the securities is made at the time of sale, transfer, delivery, or distribution. Clarifying instructions before the sale takes place, or immediately thereafter, is important since a broker is obligated to report to the IRS on Form 1099-B. Once the report is sent to the IRS, changing basis is more likely to raise a red flag with the IRS.

Please contact this office if you need to discuss a strategy of tax selling that is more specific to your portfolio and Congress’s plans for tax reform.

Country-by-Country (CbC) reporting is part of a larger initiative by the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) known as the Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (BEPS) project. CbC reporting generally impacts large multi-national businesses. Because CbC is part of BEPS it is important to be familiar with the core concepts.

Country-by-Country (CbC) reporting is part of a larger initiative by the  Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) known as the Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (BEPS) project. CbC reporting generally impacts large multi-national businesses. Because CbC is part of BEPS it is important to be familiar with the core concepts.

BEPS

The BEPS project is designed to curb tax avoidance. "No single rule or provision is the root cause of base erosion," the OECD has explained. "It is the interplay among different rules that generate base erosion and profit shifting: domestic laws and rules, international standards, and the lack of data and information."

As part of BEPS, the OECD recommended that jurisdictions adopt CbC reporting by multinational groups to report their business activity for each country where they operate. The U.S. has signed on.

IRS regulations

The IRS issued regulations last year. The "ultimate parent entity" of a multinational entity (MNE) generally must file a CbC report with the IRS. The MNE group must include at least one business entity organized in, or be a tax resident of, a jurisdiction outside the U.S., and must have revenues of $850 million or more for its preceding annual accounting period. 

Special form

The IRS is developing a special form for CbC reporting. This is Form  8975, Country-by-Country Report. Currently, Form 8975 is in draft form.

Form 8975 is to be used to report a U.S. multinational entity (MNE) group’s income, taxes paid, and other indicators of economic activity on a country-by-country basis. The reporting period covered by Form 8975 is the period of the ultimate parent’s annual applicable financial statement that ends with or within the parent’s tax year, or, if the parent does not prepare an annual applicable financial statement, the ultimate parent’s tax year.

The IRS generally will make the reports available to tax authorities. However, there will be limits on disclosure. The IRS has explained that the data captured by Form 8975 will be used for "high-level assessment of transfer pricing, and other base erosion and profit shifting tax risks, and for economic and statistical analysis." 

Filing period

Beginning on September 1, 2017, Form 8975 may be filed for a reporting period with the income tax return for the tax year of the ultimate parent of the U.S. MNE with or within which the reporting period ends. In Revenue Procedure 2017-23, the IRS allowed U.S. ultimate parents to file Form 8975 for periods beginning after January 1, 2016, and prior to the required reporting period. 

Other developments 

Recently, a group of lawmakers in Congress asked the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) to look at country-by-country reporting. The lawmakers recommended that FASB "require multinational corporations to disclose their income, assets, number of employees, and taxes paid on an annual, country-by-country basis.”

An eligible taxpayer can deduct qualified interest on a qualified student loan for an eligible student's qualified educational expenses at an eligible institution. The amount of the deduction is limited, and it is phased out for taxpayers whose modified adjusted gross income (AGI) exceeds certain thresholds.

An eligible taxpayer can deduct qualified interest on a qualified student loan for an eligible student's qualified educational expenses at an eligible institution. The amount of the deduction is limited, and it is phased out for taxpayers whose modified adjusted gross income (AGI) exceeds certain thresholds.

The maximum deduction allowed for educational loan interest is $2,500. This amount is not adjusted for inflation.  For tax years beginning in 2017, the $2,500 maximum deduction for interest paid on qualified education loans is reduced when modified adjusted gross income (AGI) exceeds $65,000 ($135,000 for joint returns), and is completely eliminated when modified AGI reaches $80,000 ($165,000 for joint returns).

Planning tip: Some taxpayers may choose to take out a home equity loan to pay off their student debt. Use of a home-equity loan of up to $100,000 principal is allowed for purposes other than home improvement or purchase. Interest up to that amount is fully deduction, as an itemized mortgage interest deduction.

Student loan interest is an “above-the-line” deduction; the taxpayer need not itemize. 

Eligible student. An eligible student for purposes of eligible debt is a student enrolled in a college degree, certificate or other program, including a program of study abroad approved for credit at an institution of higher learning where the student is enrolled, and leading to a recognized educational credential at an eligible educational institution. The student must also carry at least one half of the normal full-time workload for the course of study being pursued during at least one academic period beginning during the tax year.

Student loan interest is not deductible if a dependency exemption is allowed for the taxpayer on someone else's return. Thus, if parents take a dependency exemption for a student who is the only person legally obligated to pay interest on a qualified loan, neither the parents nor the student is entitled to deduct any interest paid by the student during the time he is claimed as a dependent. A student may deduct interest paid in years after the student has ceased to be a dependent. 

Legal obligation. The taxpayer claiming the deduction must be legally obligated to make the interest payments. Thus, a parent who had signed for the student loan and is liable personally for its payment may deduct interest paid on the loan.

If a third party who is not legally obligated makes an interest payment on behalf of a taxpayer who is legally obligated, the taxpayer is treated as receiving the payment from the third party and using it to pay the interest. For instance, if an employer makes an interest payment on behalf of the employee, and the payment is included in the employee's income as compensation, the employee can deduct the payment. Similarly, if a parent pays interest on behalf of a non-dependent borrower, the borrower may deduct the interest.

The Electronic Federal Tax Payment System (EFTPS) allows individuals and businesses to make tax payments by telephone, personal computer or through the Internet.

The Electronic Federal Tax Payment System (EFTPS) allows individuals and businesses to make tax payments by telephone, personal computer or through the Internet.

Paperless

EFTPS is one of the most user-friendly programs developed by the IRS. EFTPS is totally paperless. Everything is done by telephone or computer. Because it's electronic, it's available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

You make your tax payments electronically by:

· Calling EFTPS; or

· Using special computer software or the Internet.

Who can use EFTPS

EFTPS is available to businesses and individuals but businesses have more options.

Businesses: If your total deposits of federal taxes are more than $200,000 each year, you must use EFTPS. If not, you can still use EFTPS but you're not required to.

To calculate the $200,000 threshold, you have to include every federal tax your business pays, such as payroll, income, excise, social security, railroad retirement, and any other federal taxes.

The IRS wants businesses to use EFTPS and makes it difficult to stop using it. Once you meet the $200,000 threshold, you have to continue using EFTPS even if your annual tax deposits fall below $200,000 in the future.

Individuals: Individuals can also use EFTPS. Many of the individuals using EFTPS are making quarterly estimated tax payments but it's also available to people paying federal estate and gift taxes and installment payments.

How EFTPS works

There are two versions of EFTPS: direct and through a financial institution.

Direct: EFTPS-Direct is just what the name suggests. You access EFTPS directly - by telephone or computer - and make your tax payments. You tell EFTPS when you want to deposit your taxes and on that date EFTPS tells your bank to transfer the funds from your account to the IRS. At the same time, the IRS updates your payroll tax records to reflect the deposit.

Example. Your payroll taxes are due on the 15th. You have to contact EFTPS by 8PM at least one day before your tax due date. You either call EFTPS or log-on using special software or through the Internet. You enter your payment and EFTPS automatically debits your bank account and transfers the funds to the IRS on the date you indicate.

If you're a business, you can schedule your tax deposits up to 120 days before the due date. Individuals can schedule tax deposits up to 365 days before the due date.

Through a financial institution: You can also access EFTPS through a bank or credit union. Instead of contacting EFTPS directly and making your tax payments, your bank does it for you. Not all banks and credit unions participate in EFTPS so you have to check with your financial institution.

Only businesses can use EFTPS through a financial institution. If you're an individual and you want to use EFTPS, you have to use it directly. Also, while EFTPS-Direct is free, some financial institutions charge a fee for accessing EFTPS.

Getting started

To access EFTPS, you have to enroll. Your tax advisor can help you navigate the enrollment process and, once you're part of EFTPS, he or she can make the payments for you.

The responsibility for remitting federal tax payments to the IRS in a timely manner can be overwhelming for the small business owner -- the deadlines seem never ending and the penalties for late payments can be stiff. However, many small business owners may find that participating in the IRS's EFTPS program is a convenient, timesaving way to pay their federal taxes.

However, many small business owners may find that participating in the IRS's EFTPS program is a convenient, timesaving way to pay their federal taxes.

The Electronic Federal Tax Payment System (EFTPS) is a simple way for businesses to make their federal tax payments. It is easy to use, fast, convenient, secure and accurate. It also saves business owners time and money in making federal tax payments because there are no last minute trips to the bank, no waiting lines, no envelopes, stamps, couriers, etc. And best of all, tax payments are initiated right from your office!

What is the EFTPS?

EFTPS is an electronic tax payment system through which businesses can make all of their federal tax deposits or payments. The system is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week for businesses to make their tax payments either through the use of their own PC, by telephone, or through a program offered by a financial institution.

What federal tax payments are covered by EFTPS?

Some taxpayers mistakenly assume that EFTPS applies only to the deposit of employment taxes. EFTPS has much broader reach. It can be used to make tax payments electronically for a long list of payment obligations:

• Form 720, Quarterly Federal Excise Tax Return;
• Form 940, Employer's Annual Federal Unemployment Tax (FUTA) Return;
• Form 941, Employer's Quarterly Federal Tax Return;
• Form 943, Employer's Annual Tax Return For Agricultural Employees;
• Form 945, Annual Return of Withheld Federal Income Tax;
• Form 990-C, Farmer's Cooperative Association Income Tax Return;
• Form 990-PF, Return of Private Foundation;
• Form 990-T, Exempt Organization Business Income Tax Return Section 4947(a)(1) Charitable Trust Treated as Private Foundation;
• Form 1041, Fiduciary Income Tax Return;
• Form 1042, Annual Withholding Tax Return for U.S. Sources of Income for Foreign Persons;
• Form 1120, U.S. Corporation Income Tax Return; and
• Form CT-1, Employer's Annual Railroad Retirement Tax Return.

How can I get started using EFTPS?

To enroll in EFTPS, the taxpayer must complete IRS Form 9779, Business Enrollment Form, and mailing it to the EFTPS Enrollment Center. To obtain a copy of IRS Form 9779 a taxpayer or practitioner can call EFTPS Customer Service at 1-800-945-8400 or 1-800-555-4477. The enrollment form may also be requested from the IRS Forms Distribution Center at1-800-829-3676.

After you complete and mail the enrollment form, EFTPS processes the enrollment and sends you a Confirmation Packet, which includes a step-by-step Payment Instruction Booklet. You will also receive a PIN under separate cover. Once the Confirmation Packet and the PIN are received, you can begin to make tax payments electronically.

What flexibility is available within the EFTPS for payment options?

There are two primary ways to make payment under EFTPS - directly to EFTPS or through a financial institution. If you wish to make payments directly to EFTPS, the "ACH debit method" should be selected on the enrollment form. Deposits and payments are made using this method by instructing EFTPS to move funds from the business bank account to the Treasury's account on a date you designate. You can instruct EFTPS by either calling a toll-free number, and using the automated telephone system, or by using a PC to initiate the payment.

If you instead elect to make payments through a financial institution, the "ACH credit method" should be chosen on the enrollment form. This method works by using a payment system offered by the financial institution through which you instruct the institution to electronically move funds from your account to a Treasury account.

Although the ACH debit and the ACH credit methods are the primary payment methods for EFTPS, a taxpayer may also choose the Same Day Payment Method. You should contact your financial institution to determine if it can make a same day payment.

If I provide the IRS with access to my bank account, can it access my account for any other purposes?

It is important to note you retain total control of when a payment is made under EFTPS because you initiate the process in all instances. In addition, at no time does the government or any other party have access to your account from which the deposits are made. The only way to authorize deposits or payments from your account is through use of the PIN that is given to you upon enrollment.

Many businesses have recognized the convenience of voluntary participation in the IRS's EFTPS program. If you are interested in discussing whether your business would also benefit from this program, please contact the office for a consultation.
