IRS Targets Valuation Discounts on Family Controlled Entities

August 5, 2016 Business & Tax Blog Estate Tax

The Treasury has followed through on its promise to issue proposed regulations that are intended to significantly reduce the lack of control and lack of marketability discounts applied by appraisers when valuing family-controlled entities. The proposed regulations follow closely with guidance provided in the Treasury Department’s “Greenbook” as discussed in our prior post (click here to view prior post). The good news is that the proposed regulations have provided everyone with a window of opportunity to complete their planning before the regulations become final. We will provide a more detailed analysis of the proposed regulations soon.
