This presentation will explore some areas of federal taxation that have become more relevant during the current business environment, including consequences of debt modifications and workouts, the timing of tax deductions associated with losses that result from federally-declared disasters, the impact of business valuations on loss carryforwards for corporations experiencing ownership changes, and the impact of valuations on estate planning and wealth transfer strategies.
