FLP INCOME TAX ISSUES

PETER ROBBINS AND KARL SPRINGER

Sponsored by Texas Health Presbyterian Foundation

 

The estate tax benefits and pitfalls of Family Limited Partnerships are well documented and usually properly explained to clients during estate planning consultations.  Income tax considerations, however, are often overlooked during planning and can come back to surprise and irritate many unsuspecting clients.  This presentation is designed to offer guidance on explaining the income tax consequences of FLPs before the documents are signed.  Topics covered will include the impact of assets placed in the FLP, income allocation and distribution issues, compensation of management, the death or withdrawal of a partner, basis issues, self-employment and Texas Franchise taxes, and much more.  Peter Robbins began his accounting career with the Milwaukee, Wisconsin office of Ernst & Whinney (now Ernst & Young) in July 1987. He served as a member of the audit staff until moving to the tax department where he specialized in taxation of financial institutions, corporations, partnerships and individuals. In 1994 Peter joined Grant Thornton as head of the financial services tax practice. Peter joined MBD in January 1998.  Peter has served as a guest lecturer and instructor for many professional organizations including the American Institute of CPAs and the Texas Society of CPAs.  Karl Springer joined MBD in 1980 as a staff accountant.   He served on the Board of Directors for the Center for Nonprofit Management from 2000 to 2006. He is also past chairman and a current member of the Board of Directors for Offenders Preparation Education Network, Inc. Experience in creative problem solving, providing a broad view of many different business and tax issues, and aggressively managing relationships is the culmination of his professional career to date.

 

1 hour of continuing ed credit has been applied for.
