Retain Like-Kind Exchanges in Tax Reform - Op-Ed

on Thu, 11/09/2017 - 08:29   Mark Flanagan
Like-Kind Exchanges Enable Small Business, Stimulate Economy - Op-Ed

Excerpted from the Denver Business Journal, "Beware changes in 'like-kind' transactions under proposed federal tax reform":

Rarely do the interests of small businesses owners and a broad range of local entrepreneurs agree with almost a century of federal income tax policy – especially when it results in billions of dollars in taxes being paid.

But luckily for the economy, they do.

The trouble is, this powerful economic driver is now in real danger as Congress and the Trump Administration grapple with the twin dilemmas of tax reform and a threadbare federal budget that would put such long-term investments and incentives at risk.

Five Years of 100% Expensing Not Worth Repeal of Like-Kind Exchanges

on Thu, 11/02/2017 - 15:46   Brent Abrahm
Five Years of 100% Expensing Not Worth Repeal of Like-Kind Exchanges

The new tax bill unveiled today by House Republicans proposes to repeal like-kind exchanges for personal property. In its place, the bill provides for 100% expensing of property, however this provision is only temporary, sun-setting after five years. 100% expensing may be extended, as other unrelated provisions have in the past, but the uncertainty makes long-term planning difficult for businesses.  

As I have argued for years on the Hill, like-kind exchanges are a matter of tax timing and not...

IRS tax relief for disaster victims

With so many weather-related natural disasters occurring with seemingly increasing frequency, let’s take a look at how such disasters affect persons seeking to complete exchange transactions.

Accruit Partners with Evergreen for Loan and Contract Servicing Business

on Tue, 10/10/2017 - 08:09   Mark Flanagan
Evergreen Note Servicing

Accruit has entered into an agreement with Evergreen Note Servicing, an independent loan servicing company in Puyallup, Washington, to collaboratively manage loan and contract servicing escrow business.

"Identifying the right buyer for this line of business allows Accruit to focus on other areas of our expanding FinTech services," said Accruit CEO Brent Abrahm.

Tax Code Sections 1031 and 1033: What's the Difference?

on Fri, 10/06/2017 - 12:53   Accruit
Tax Code Sections 1031 and 1033: What's the Difference?

United States tax code sections 1031 and 1033 are sometimes confused by taxpayers as they are similar, not only in section number, but in that they were both created to provide for tax deferral of depreciation recapture and capital gains on the sale of property, but that's where their similarity ends. Sections 1031 and 1033 differ materially in:

  • Types of transactions they address
  • Type of property that can be acquired
  • Timeline requirements

Section 1033: Involuntary Conversion

Section 1033 of the tax code provides for the deferral of gain that is realized from an "involuntary conversion." Such a conversion includes property that is destroyed in a casualty, property that is lost due to theft and property that is transferred as the result of condemnation...

Capitol Hill Visit and the Unified Framework for Tax Reform

AED Vice President of Government Affairs Daniel Fisher and Accruit CEO Brent Abrahm

Last week, the "Big Six" released a new tax proposal titled the "Unified Framework for Fixing our Broken Tax Code." While laying out broad principles for tax reform, the Framework is lacking in details and does not speak specifically to the preservation or repeal of 1031 like-kind exchanges.

Concurrently with the release of the Framework, Accruit CEO Brent Abrahm was on Capitol Hill as co-chair of the FEA Government Affairs Committee, where he spoke with members of the House Ways &...
