Course Description

They arrive with and without visas to live and work in the US.  As these new arrivals settle in, they are confronted by unique tax issues.  This course will provide the practitioner with the tools necessary to serve an expanding clientele.  Topics will include the determination of residency for federal tax purposes, elections to be treated as resident aliens, dual-status issues, the tax treatment of income and expenses for non-resident aliens, tax credits, administrative issues, and departure filing requirements.

Upon completion of this course, you will be able to:


  • Determine residency under the green card and substantial presence tests.

  • Recognize and correctly report effectively connected income.

  • Determine a nonresident alien’s US filing requirements.

  • Make appropriate entries on Form 1040-NR.

  • Address issues specific to the NRA, including community property reporting, estate and gift tax rules, and state non-conformity.

Agenda:


  • How do residency for immigration and tax purposes overlap and differ?

  • So you’re an NRA; is that a bad or good thing?

  • Is income US-sourced and effectively connected?

  • Can NRAs claim deductions and credits?

  • Which tax return (Form 1040 or 1040-NR) must be filed?

  • Do NRAs have other filing obligations as well?

Licensed since 1988, Monica Haven is an Enrolled Agent, an Accredited Tax Advisor, and Accredited Tax Preparer. She is also a graduate fellow of the National Tax Practice Institute, a nationally recognized academic program designed to develop and hone the skills necessary for effective taxpayer representation.  Monica has a Bachelor of Science degree in Small Business Management with an emphasis on New Ventures and a Doctor of Law (J.D.) and a Master of Laws in Taxation (LL.M.) from Loyola Law School in Los Angeles.

Monica has been a long-term and active member of numerous professional organizations, including the National Association of Enrolled Agents, the National Society of Accountants, the National Association of Tax Practitioners, the National Society of Tax Practitioners, the California Society of Enrolled Agents, the California Society of CPAs, and the California Society of Accounting and Tax Professionals, as well as the Los Angeles County Bar Association, the Young Tax Lawyers Committee, and the Tax Law Society.

With decades-long experience as a solo practitioner, Monica is only too eager to share her expertise in the classroom and does so routinely. She is a recognized speaker on the "professional" circuit and a welcomed guest lecturer on college campuses and community organizations.  Happy when she is working to resolve client issues, busy preparing returns, or buried beneath a mountain of regulatory and bureaucratic paperwork, Monica amasses a wealth of real-world experiences and humorous anecdotes, which she exploits unabashedly to make her course materials less dry, more memorable, and fun.  She knows she has succeeded when her students comment, "I wish you had been my teacher when I learned accounting; I would have learned so much more and enjoyed it.”  [See what others have said at www.mhaven.net.] Truthfully, Monica is torn and cannot decide whether she prefers teaching or taxation.  She’s happiest when she doesn’t have to choose and gets to teach tax!

Okay, so we don’t really have clients in the South African nation, but it sounds better than to state that our client base includes everyone from A to Z.  But we do have a client in Gabon (that’s in Africa) and we have others in Central America, Asia, and all over Europe.  Someday, we hope to brag that we have clients on all seven continents.

With the help of diligent support staff and a large research library, we guide our clients through a full range of tax planning and preparation decisions.  We invite you to visit the company’s website where you’ll find:
  • Information about Credentials held and Services provided.
  • Newly published student texts and reference manuals.
  • Specialty pages dedicated to all things foreign, estate & gift taxation, senior, and small business issues.
  • A Peer2Peer page designed to make things a bit easier for fellow practitioners.
