Clients have three years left to use the enhanced unified credit before it gets cut in half. Putting holistic techniques in place that consider tax, financial planning, and asset protection sooner rather than later will be important. In this episode of the PFP Section podcast, Bob Keebler, CPA/PFS, interviews Marty Shenkman, CPA/PFS, JD, and Jonathan Blattmachr, JD, to get their thoughts on using SLATs and other strategies.  They answer the following questions: How do SLATs work? Why are SLATs and other techniques effective for clients who won't be subject to the estate tax even when the unified credit is cut in half? Why is it important to mix and match techniques like SLATs, DAPTs, hybrid DAPTs, and SPATs to get the best results for your clients? What are the most critical considerations for making sure that your clients get the most access to these trust assets?

This Podcast provides guidance on Circular 230 issues. The IRS on April 23 released guidance on the application of monetary penalties to practitioners, their employers, firms and related entities for violations of Circular 230 as authorized by the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 This guidance gives some insight into the IRS's views on how they will make use of this new enforcement tool, as well as some indication of what the IRS might view as an appropriate quality control system for a tax practice. If, as expected, SSTS No. 9 goes from an exposure draft to a final standard for CPAs, this document may be one to consider when a CPA firm sets out its tax quality control standards. And given the existence of the 'aspirational' standard for best practices in Circular 230 Section 10.33, the importance of SSTS No. 9 may not be limited to CPAs. The materials for this podcast can be found at http://www.edzollars.com/2007-04-24_Monetary_Penalties.pdfThere's an excellent book on this topic by Jonathan Blattmachr, Mitchell Gans, and Damien Rios entitled The Circular 230 Handbook.
