About This Webcast
Seasoned multifamily asset manager and webcaster Vinnie Viola maps the flow of Low-Income housing Tax Credits (LIHTC) on a journey from the partnership’s Cost Certification to the annual tax return in this new 90-minute training. Tax credit professionals: If your job responsibilities include reviewing the credit amount in a LIHTC cost certification, confirming content on Form(s) 8609 or annual credit amount in a partnership’s annual tax return, and you’re looking to build your working knowledge, this webcast is for you. 

This training examines credit flow for a 4% acquisition rehabilitation (4% A/R) project consisting of one high-rise LIHTC building. The webcast begins with an excerpt of a partnership’s cost certification, covering terms such as depreciable costs, eligible basis, applicable fraction, qualified basis, applicable percentage and much more. Then, the presenter provides an overview of Form 8609, Low-Income Housing Credit Allocation and Certification, the much-celebrated form issued by Housing Credit Agencies. The training then dives into the 4% A/R project’s annual tax return, weaving a story from Form 8586, Forms 8609-a, Schedule K and finally to Schedules K-1, in the latter, detailing the investor's 99.99% allocation of annual credits. Vinnie will demonstrate in Excel how seemingly small variations in the first-year credit amount can impact investment yield. The training wraps up with an answer to that million dollar question: What is a tax credit and how does It work?

A basic understanding of the LIHTC program is ideal for this intermediate-level training.
