Go, Hedgie, Go: Hedge Fund challenges IRS' Position on Limited Partner Exception to Self-Employment (SE) Tax... [ read ]
The tax community has been searching for a mighty torch bearer to challenge the IRS' position that a limited partner cannot wear two hats: one, as a service provider that receives guaranteed payments subject to self-employment (SE) tax, and another, as an investor that receives his or her share of partnership income exempt from SE tax.

New Tax Court Case Reveals the IRS' Two-Front War Against Microcaptives... [ read ]
A recently filed Tax Court case has revealed just how much disdain the IRS has for microcaptives. And it is a lot. The case is SCC Holding Company of Pinellas, Inc. v. Commissioner, Docket No. 16285-22, filed in July 2022. At the time of filing, the taxpayer and the IRS were already long-time "friends." Starting in 2016, the IRS had issued a series of Notice of Deficiency covering tax years 2010 through 2016. Therein, the IRS disallowed deductions for captive insurance premiums and asserted a 40% penalty based on the IRS' determination that the microcaptive planning lacked economic substance and was not properly disclosed.

On October 7th, the IRS released Revenue Procedure 2022-19 which provides simplified measures for correcting six procedural missteps that the IRS says are resolvable without requesting a letter ruling. The IRS believes the relief provided in Rev. Proc. 2022-19 will reduce burdens on taxpayers and the government, facilitate increased taxpayer compliance with the rules for electing S corporation status, and reduce costs and delays in completing transactions involving S corporations and qualified subchapter S subsidiaries.
