    Qualifying transactions Documentation Effectiveness vs Ineffectiveness Presentation and Disclosure

  • #cbizmhmwebinar 30 #cbizmhmwebinar 30

    Derivatives & Hedging

    Qualifying Transactions Component Hedging

    A non-financial hedged item may be a contractually specified component or ingredient linked to an index or rate stated in the contract.

    Benchmark Interest Rates Variable rate An entity may designate the contractually specified

    index rate in cash flow hedges of interest rate risk, thus eliminating the concept of benchmark interest rates for variable-rate financial instruments.

    Fixed rate Retain the existing definition of benchmark interest rates and also add the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association Municipal Swap Index (SIFMA) to the list of acceptable rates

    Fair Value Hedge Designate a portion of the term of a fixed rate instrument

  • #cbizmhmwebinar 31 #cbizmhmwebinar 31

    Hedge Documentation Hedge Documentation

    Initial quantitative testing aspect of hedge documentation requirements may be completed before or at the three-month effectiveness testing period. No longer required to be contemporaneous

    The timing of the preparation of all other hedge documentation would not change.

    Short Cut An entity may apply a long-haul method if for some reason use of

    the shortcut method was or is no longer appropriate (method must be documented at inception).

    Effectiveness vs Ineffectiveness Testing Effectiveness Threshold

    Initial quantitative testing of all hedges required Exceptions only if they meet the requirements for the shortcut or

    critical terms match methods. Required to perform subsequent quantitative effectiveness

    testing only if facts and circumstances change Critical Terms Match

    Assume maturity and forecasted transaction are the same if the occur within 31 days

  • #cbizmhmwebinar 33 #cbizmhmwebinar 33

    Derivatives & Hedging Exposure Draft

    Presentation and Timing The change in the fair value of the hedging derivative would

    no longer be split between effective and ineffective portions. Fair value hedges If the hedging relationship meets the

    highly effective threshold, the entire change in the fair value of the derivative would be recorded in the same income statement line as the hedged item.

    Cash flow hedges If the hedging relationship meets the highly effective threshold, the entire change in the fair value of the derivative would be recorded in other comprehensive income.

    Amounts reclassified from AOCI will be presented in the same income statement line item as the hedged item.

  • #cbizmhmwebinar 34 #cbizmhmwebinar 34

    Derivatives & Hedging

    Disclosures Require additional disclosures related to cumulative basis

    adjustments for fair value hedges Amend certain tabular disclosures in current GAAP to focus

    on the impact of hedge accounting on income statement line items, and

    FEDERAL TAX UPDATE

  • #cbizmhmwebinar 47 #cbizmhmwebinar 47

    New Partnership Audit Rules Effective Date

    On November 2, 2015 President Obama signed into law the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015 (BBA).

    The new provisions are generally effective for partnership tax years beginning after December 31, 2017. Partnerships may elect however, to apply the new rules to any returns filed for tax years beginning after November 2, 2015 New Opt In regulations were issued August 4 with requests

    for comments by October 4.

    The BBA provides a fundamental change in the way that examination and collection of tax from partnerships will be conducted.

  • #cbizmhmwebinar 48 #cbizmhmwebinar 48

    Background and Reason for the Change

    According to a 2014 report from the Government Accountability Office, the IRS audited less than 1% of the 2012 income tax returns of large partnerships (i.e., those with greater than $100 million in assets), essentially the same audit rate as individual income tax returns. By contrast, over 27% of large C corporations were audited.

    The Joint Committee on Taxation has estimated that

    the new partnership audit rules will raise $9.3 billion over the next 10 years. Clearly, Congress is giving a mandate to the IRS to audit more large partnerships.

    Operative Provisions - General

    The purpose of the new audit and adjustment regime is to streamline partnership audits into a single set of rules for both the partners and the partnership.

    The new regime generally provides for assessment and collection of under paid taxes, penalties and interest at the partnership level.

    The new regime applies to all partnerships, except for certain qualifying partnerships that affirmatively elect out of the new rules.

  • #cbizmhmwebinar 51 #cbizmhmwebinar 51

    Operative Provisions - Electing Out

    A qualifying partnership can elect out of the new audit procedures. Generally a qualifying partnership must meet three requirements in

    order to elect out. Number of partners Type of partners Form of election

    The election to opt out is an annual election. The election is made on a timely filed return and will include a disclosure of the name and TIN of each partner of such partnership and the partnership is required to notify each partner of such election. In the case of an S corporation partner, the partnership will need

    to disclose the name and TIN of each shareholder of the S corporation.

  • #cbizmhmwebinar 52 #cbizmhmwebinar 52

    Operative Provisions - Electing Out - Number of Partners

    The election out of the new rules is available for partnerships with 100 or fewer partners.

    The number of partners is based upon the number of statements (i.e. K-1s) that are issued during the year. Any transfers of partnership interests during the year are included as the requirement is based upon the number of statements issued.

    In the case of an S corporation partner, the number of statements issued by the S corporation must be taken into account in determining the 100 or fewer test.

  • #cbizmhmwebinar 53 #cbizmhmwebinar 53

    Operative Provisions - Electing Out - Type of Partners

    In order to be eligible to elect out of the new rules, all partners of the partnership must be a Individual C corporation Any foreign entity that would be treated as a C

    corporation were it domestic S corporation Estate of a deceased partner

    Noticeably absent from the list of qualifying partners are partnerships and trusts

  • #cbizmhmwebinar 54 #cbizmhmwebinar 54

    Operative Provisions - Consistency Requirement

    The new regime provides that a partner shall treat an item consistently with the partnerships reporting of such item If there is an underpayment due to an inconsistent

    treatment, any tax shall be assessed and collected as if it was a math error on the partners return

    A partner can take an inconsistent position if proper

    disclosures have been made.

    The new regime provides that the partnership shall designate a partner (or other person) with a substantial presence in the United States as the partnership representative who shall have the sole authority to act on behalf of the partnership under the new audit procedures. If an individual has not been designated by the partnership the Secretary may select any person as the partnership representative.

    The partnership representative will essentially bind the partnership and partners by their actions.

    Operative Provisions - Partnership Adjustments - New Terms

    Imputed underpayments are determined for any reviewed year by netting all adjustments (income, gain, loss or deduction) and multiplying the net result by the highest rate of tax in effect for the reviewed year under Section 1 or 11.

    Adjustments for items of credit increase or decrease

    the amount determined in the prior sentence.

    Operative Provisions - Partnership Adjustments - When Taken into Account

    If the adjustment results in an imputed underpayment, the partnership shall pay the amount due in the adjustment year.

    Any adjustment that does not result in an imputed

    underpayment, shall be taken into account by the partnership in the adjustment year As a reduction in non-separately stated income or an

    increase in a non-separately stated loss; or In the case of a credit, as a separately stated item

    Operative Provisions - Partnership Adjustments - Modification of the Imputed Underpayment

    There are currently three ways to modify the calculation of the imputed underpayment amount.

    Modification of applicable highest tax

    rate

    Tax-exempt partners

    Amended returns of partners

  • #cbizmhmwebinar 60 #cbizmhmwebinar 60

    Operative Provisions - Partnership Adjustments - Modification of the Imputed Underpayment

    Amended returns of partners - one or more of the partners file an amended return for the taxable year of the partner which includes the end of the reviewed year of the partnership and such returns take into account all adjustments properly allocated to such partner (and any other taxable year with respect to which any tax attribute is affected by reason of such adjustments) and payment of any tax due is included with such return - then the imputed underpayment amount shall be determined without regard to the portion of the adjustments so taken into account.

    In the case of a reallocation of an item from one partner to

    another - all affected partners must file an amended return to modify the imputed underpayment amount.

    Operative Provisions - Partnership Adjustments - Modification of the Imputed Underpayment

    Tax-exempt partners - partnership can provide that a partner is tax-exempt as defined under Section 168(h)(2).

    Modification of applicable highest tax rate - if ordinary income - in the case of a C corporation; if capital gain or qualified dividend income in the case of an individual. An S corporation is considered an individual.

    Operative Provisions - Alternative to Payment of Imputed Underpayment by Partnership - Push-Out

    A partnership can elect to push-out the adjustment to the partners in the

    reviewed year.

    The election is made within 45 days of

    receiving the notice of final partnership adjustment and is

    revocable only with the consent of the

    Secretary.

  • #cbizmhmwebinar 63 #cbizmhmwebinar 63

    Operative Provisions - Alternative to Payment of Imputed Underpayment by Partnership - Push-Out

    The partner calculates the additional tax that would be required for the reviewed year plus any additional tax for any intervening year - and adds such amount to their tax return for the year that they receive the push-out statement In other words, if a partner receives the push-out notice in

    2020 for a 2018 adjustment, they would take the 2018 tax and 2019 tax if applicable and add it to their 2020 tax return when filed. The statute appears to be clear that an increase in tax is taken into account - it does not mention a reduction.

    Interest is determined at the partner level and is charged at

    the rate of the short term AFR plus 5% instead of 3% (i.e., a toll charge of 2% that otherwise would have been due).
