Course Description

Businesses have often found it beneficial to form captive insurance companies to insure the risk of their owners. Capitive insurance companies offer potential economic and risk management benefits; however, they have drawn the IRS's ire, often asserting that such companies are tax shelters. Recently, the IRS labeled certain transactions relating to small captive insurance companies as "transactions of interest", a designation that results in additional tax reporting requirements for taxpayers and their advisors. The new rules go into effect January 31, 2017, so it's imperative that your clients become compliant now. This webinar will provide attendees with a background on captive insurance companies, how the new rules impact your clients, and what you need to do now to prepare.
