Description

We’ve been working with the centralized partnership audit regime (CPAR) for more than a year, but key challenges remain regarding the application of federal rules at the state level. In this episode, you’ll find out why it matters and how the American Institute of CPAs (AICPA) and other organizations are advocating for taxpayers and tax practitioners. AICPA Senior Manager Eileen Sherr sits down with host Damien Martin to discuss the Multistate Tax Commission’s (MTC) Model Uniform Statute and Regulation for Reporting Adjustments to Federal Taxable Income and Federal Partnership Audit Adjustments (model statute) aimed at unifying state approaches to the centralized partnership audit procedures. Learn which states are considering and enacting legislation that addresses the significant changes under the CPAR. Take a look at what’s covered:
