  2. Foreign Trust Through 1996, a trust was foreign if the trustee, corpus, and administration were foreign. Since 1996, a trust is foreign unless a U.S. court supervises the trust and a U.S. fiduciary controls all substantial decisions. U.S. taxpayers are subject to filing Form 3520, Creation of or Transfer to Certain Foreign Trusts, Form 3520-A, Annual Return of Foreign Trust With U.S. Beneficiaries, and Form 926, Return by a Transferor of Property to a Foreign Estate or Trust, when contributing property to a foreign trust. These trusts are usually U.S. tax neutral and are treated as grantor trusts with income taxed to the grantor. Foreign trusts that have income attributable to U.S. sources and are not grantor trusts are required to file Form 1040NR, U.S. Nonresident Alien Income Tax Return. Foreign trusts that have income attributable to U.S. sources and are grantor trusts would have that income directly attributable to the grantor (if U.S. grantor income, it must be included on Form 1040; if nonresident alien grantor income, it must be included on Form 1040NR). http://www.irs.gov/Businesses/Small-Businesses-&-Self-Employed/Abusive-Trust-Tax-Evasion-Schemes---Special-Types-of-Trusts

  6. (JDSupra) - Taxpayers who claim a casualty loss due to Hurricane Sandy (or other casualty event) could suffer a harsh penalty under the so-called casualty loss rule in Temporary Treasury Regulation § 1.263(a)-3T(i)(1)(iii). That provision provides that a taxpayer must capitalize amounts paid to restore property, including amounts paid “for the repair of damage to a unit of property for which the taxpayer has properly taken a basis adjustment as a result of a casualty loss under section 165... http://www.jdsupra.c...sandy-co-25511/
  7. KC.....This site.....http://www.wimp.com/filterbubbles/ I use Firefox browser, which has a wide varity of protective addons. One of which is "Ghostery" It can be turned on or off, and it's function is to halt the tracking of whoever is looking where we browse. For example, when I go to http://www.wimp.com/filterbubbles/ , I am being tracked by -Facebook Connect -Facebook Social Plugins -Google Adsense -Google Analytics- and, Statcounter. This is five sites tracking me, or should I say, Trying to track me because I usually have it active. I've been on some sites which have had over thirty other sites tracking me. This is what is happening to all of us. As I write this post, there is one tracker now "Google + 1" Why......?....I Don't Know! This ATX forum should be just about us...BUT...watch it...We're being followed. Sorry KC if I upset Ya....You're doing fine.....Love your way. Elrod
