  • 2020 Real Estate Mortgage Investment Conduit (REMIC) and Widely Held Fixed Investment Trust (WHFIT) Guide
    Disclosure 2020 Real Estate Mortgage Investment Conduit (REMIC) and Widely Held Fixed Investment Trust (WHFIT) Guide Investor’s guide to tax reporting for REMIC/WHFIT regular interests and other CDOs Highlights − This guide helps you understand the tax reporting information related to investments in a collateralized debt obligation (CDO), a debt instrument that is secured by a pool of other debt instruments. − CDOs that are secured by mortgage obligations take the form of a regular interest in a real estate mortgage investment conduit (REMIC). − Widely held fixed investment trusts (WHFITs) whose assets are mortgages, amounts received on mortgages and reasonably required reserve funds as measured by value are considered widely held mortgage trusts (WHMTs). − Taxable interest is calculated using the accrual method of accounting; therefore, the amount reported on Form 1099-INT may not equal the sum of cash payments you actually received during the year. − Original issue discount (OID) and interest accrual amounts for a REMIC regular interest or CDO are already calculated by the issuer or issuer’s agent and provided on your Consolidated Form 1099. − You may be required to use a portion of the acquisition premium to reduce OID included in income during the current year, but only with respect to the same REMIC regular interest or CDO. − If you bought your REMIC regular interest or CDO in the secondary market, you may be required to report market discount income. − If a debt instrument issued with OID was purchased with bond premium, you may eliminate the OID included in current taxable income. − The sale of a REMIC regular interest or CDO that has OID or market discount is subject to special treatment, which may decrease any capital gain or increase any capital loss.

  • The Secret Life of the Trust: the Trust As an Instrument of Commerce
    Essay The Secret Life of the Trust: The Trust as an Instrument of Commerce John H. Langbein' In the culture of Anglo-American law, we think of the trust as a branch of the law of gratuitous transfers. That is where we teach trusts in the law school curriculum,' that is where we locate trusts in the statute books,- and that is where American lawyers typically encounter the trust in their practice. The trust originated at the end of the Middle Ages as a means of transferring wealth within the family,' and the trust remains our characteristic device for organizing intergenerational wealth transmission when the transferor has substantial assets or complex family affairs. In the succinct formulation of Bernard Rudden, Anglo-American lawyers regard the trust as "essentially a gift, projected on the plane of time and so subjected to a management regime."4 t Chancellor Kent Professor of Law and Legal History, Yale University I acknowledge with gratitude the able research assistance of Marie DeFalco. I have discussed the subject of this Essay in lectures at the University of Tennessee College of Law (Knoxville, September 1996) and at the Trust Companies Association of Japan (Tokyo, October 1996). 1 am grateful for references and suggestions from those learned audiences and from Anne Alstot.

    SEC Rule 15c2-11Restricted Securities On September 28, 2021, new amendments to Rule 15c-211 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 go into effect to enhance investor protection and improve issuer transparency.

Ahead of the regulatory enforcement date, TD Ameritrade will only accept orders to liquidate positions - (i.e. no new buy orders) starting on or after September 3, 2021. Please note: After the amendment officially goes into effect on September 28, 2021, it may be more difficult to liquidate these securities. Quoting and market liquidity may also be very limited.

    Disclosure A guide to your 2018 Consolidated IRS Form1099 Important information about tax reporting for 2018 About this guide This comprehensive reference guide is designed to help you in filing your federal income tax return. It provides detailed explanations and examples of the tax reporting statement you may receive, depending on the type of reportable income you have in your account. The Consolidated Form 1099 reflects information that is reported to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). In most situations, you must report the income shown on Form 1099 when filing your federal income tax return. Please note: – Your Consolidated Form 1099 (rather than your December statement) is the official document for tax reporting purposes. – Various issuers may provide additional information after year-end; therefore, amounts shown on your monthly statement may be different from your Consolidated Form 1099. – Attempting to reconcile the December statement against your Consolidated Form 1099 may be difficult, as the amounts will likely be different. Disclosure This guide is not intended to be used or relied upon for the purposes of tax advice. As tax laws are complex and subject to interpretation, please consult your tax advisor with any tax questions you may have regarding the preparation and filing of your federal income tax return(s). 1 of 39 Table of contents Important dates and deadlines __________________________________________________________________________ 3 What is included on your Consolidated Form 1099 _________________________________________________________
