About This Webcast
Cost Segregation is a tax planning strategy that can produce positive benefits for developers and investors of multifamily housing that leverages Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) equity. A cost segregation study provides a time-value tax benefit to the investors in a LIHTC project, which can help offset the decrease in equity pricing caused by the lower corporate tax rate established with enactment of Tax Cut and Jobs Act of 2017 (TCJA). Careful planning is essential to ensure that tax credit investors consider the tax benefits created by a cost segregation study and to avoid any negative impacts to other credit incentives and partnership capital accounts.
If incorporating cost segregation analysis to the underwriting of tax credits is a goal for your organization in 2020 or if you simply want a better understanding of this IRS-permitted tax strategy for tax credit projects, this webcast collaboration among accounting and syndication professionals is ideal for you. Join webcast host Vinnie Viola of Birch Island Real Estate Consulting and panel experts from Clark Schaefer Hackett CPAs and Advisors and tax credit syndicator Cinnaire for a 90-minute live webcast that presents fundamental concepts and applications of cost segregation for tax credit partnerships. The panel will share their insights and perspectives on the application of cost segregation to tax credit investments since the enactment of the TCJA. Webcast attendees may participate in on-screen polls and submit questions to the panel. Scroll down to view panelist bios.
