2020 Tax Planning Amid Covid Financial Crisis

For affluent and UHNWIs and their advisors, this is a pivotal moment.

Current economic conditions are characterized by ultra-low interest rates and inflation rates, lower real estate values in big cities, a sharp increase in stock volatility, and a weaker U.S. balance sheet that is likely to force higher tax rates in the years ahead. At this class, you’ll hear about how to counsel clients on the most common tax strategies designed to be used amid the Covid crisis, including:

• Skipping 2020 RMDs

• Roth conversions

• IRA relocation

• Installment sales in a low interest rate environment

• GRATs, SLATs, CRTs, CLATS, & other trusts: who, what, when, and how

• Naming trusts as IRA beneficiaries after SECURE Act

July 9: 2020: Main Street Lending Program Alert For Business Owners
Business owners who were unable to qualify for federal Covid-crisis emergency assistance from the Payment Protection Program (PPP) need to know about the Main Street Lending Program (MSLP).

Enabled by the CARES Act on March 27, 2020, MSLP is administered by the Federal Reserve Board, which is not a normal function of the Fed. MSLP makes available $600 billion in federal aid to small businesses that had sound financials before the Covid outbreak. MSLP loans are not forgivable and the program has been met with a tepid reponse from business owners.

MSLP has been thew subject of considerable buzz in recent weeks, with business owners awaiting details about MSLP loans terms. On June 26, the Fed released this lengthy FAQ, which prompted a video and email campaign educating business owners about latest details on MSLP.
