Tax Shelters: New IRS Disclosure Requirements Carry Serious Penalties

Touted as one of the most substantial overhauls of the Internal Revenue Code in years, the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 was signed by the President on Oct. 22, 2004. Like any number of omnibus Congressional tax bills, the "Jobs Act" is a broad-reaching collection of miscellaneous tax provisions. <br/>Title VIII of the Act, in Subtitle B ' "Provisions Relating to Tax Shelters," contains new provisions that limit the benefits of tax shelters.
