Tax reform: Asked that Congress take a comprehensive approach to tax reform and not enact reform for C corporations at the expense of flow-thru entities, including partnerships, S Corporations, and LLCs. We also asked policymakers not to tax flow-through entities with revenues over certain thresholds as C corporations or to pass legislation that would disadvantage real estate relative to other industries.We also favor maintaining: (1) the current-law tax treatment of carried interest; (2) the full deductibility of business interest; (3) the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit; (4) the permanent estate tax rules enacted in January 2013 that feature a $5 million exemption, 40 percent top rate, and retention of stepped-up basis rules; (5) the current-law rules regarding Section 1031 like-kind exchanges; (6) the 27.5 year depreciation period for multifamily real estate; and (7) the deductibility of state and local real estate taxes. With regard to specific tax reform bills, we considered draft legislation released by, but not yet formally introduced by, House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Dave Camp: Tax Reform Act of 2013: Title IITax Reform for Businesses, Subtitle COption 1 Passthrough Entities, all provisions (i.e., Part 1Option 1 S Corporations and Part 2Option 1 Partnerships), and Subtitle COption 2 Unified Rules for Passthroughs, all provisions. Carried Interest. We oppose changes to current law as part of any legislation, including: S.268, Cut Unjustified Tax Loopholes Act, Title VI, Ending the Carried Interest Loophole, Section 601. Short Title, Section 602. Partnership Interests Transferred in Connection with Performance of Services, and Section 603. Special Rules for Partners Providing Investment Management Services to Partnerships. Low-Income Housing Tax Credit: No bill introduced yet this Congress, but we support efforts to make permanent the 9 percent tax credit for the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) and to extend the same policy to 4 percent LIHTCs for acquisition (H.R. 3661 and S. 1989 (all provisions) from 112th Congress). We also urged Congress to preserve the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit as part of any tax reform effort. Although no bill is pending, we asked Congress to support making the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit more flexible by allowing developments to qualify if 40 percent of units go to families with income that averages no more than 60 percent of area median income. No legislation supported yet this Congress, but we supported efforts to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to improve and extend the deduction for new and existing energy efficient commercial buildings (S. 3591, Commercial Building Modernization Act from 112th Congress, all provisions). H.R. 892, S Corporation Modernization Act of 2013, all provisions. IRS Temporary (T.D. 9564) and proposed rules (REG-168745-03) regarding deduction and capitalization of expenditures related to tangible property under IRC 263(a). We asked that the regulations be made more administrable through: (1) addition of bright-line examples; (2) expansion of de minimis rules; and (3) treatment of multiple buildings in a development as a single unit of property. Considered possible legislative and regulatory response to U.S. Tax Court Ruling in Historic Boardwalk Hall LLC v. Commissioner impacting the use of the Federal Historic Rehabilitation tax credit. S. 795, Master Limited Partnership Parity Act, Section 2 Subsection X that extends the master limited partnership structure to companies that develop and execute energy performance contracting for capital improvement projects in multifamily buildings to lower energy usage and consumption. S. 1181, to amend the Internal Revenue Code to exempt certain stock of real estate investment trusts from the tax on foreign investments in United States real property, all provisions. Internal Revenue Code 21986, Sec. 179D - Energy Efficient Commercial Building Tax Deduction Participated on a panel in Minneapolis on April 9 at which a HUD official (not a covered official under IRS rules) was present.
