Tax Return Requirements for Transactions with Puerto Rico Trusts

Note: Due to IRS requirements, some documents are in English, but the course is taught in Spanish.

Description

Trusts have specific rules that every accountant, business owner, or lawyer should know. For example, trusts are legal entities that have gained significant importance recently due to the risks in the business world and the litigious culture. This entity is no longer just used to ensure an inheritance in the event of the owner’s death or incapacity, but trusts are now taking on an economic aspect as asset protection and tax planning tools.

Considering all these factors, we have designed this seminar to provide you with all the necessary tools that will enable you to guide your client correctly and comprehensively regarding trusts and their compliance with the Department of Treasury and the IRS.

The course is structured across six distinct lessons:

Lesson 1 – Fideicomisos – Aspectos Legales

Lesson 2 – Fideicomisos Regulares – Aspectos Contributivos

Lesson 3 – Grantor Trust – Aspectos Contributivos

Lesson 4 – Otras Implicaciones Contributivas en Puerto Rico y Obligaciones ante el IRS – Reglas Generales

Lesson 5 – Obligaciones ante el IRS – Foreign Grantor Trust Lesson 6 – Obligaciones ante el IRS – Fideicomiso Regular
