The controversy concerning the use of split dollar continues to be extremely active. Legislation recently signed by the President creates major issues regarding the use of certain split dollar products that will now be implemented by the SEC. The IRS very recently issued a new notice that appears to be designed to thwart certain "reverse split dollar" arrangements. In addition, proposed regulations are still outstanding, with major portions not yet issued. Moreover, existing split dollar arrangements are subject to the rules of Notice 2002-8, which leaves many questions unanswered. The speakers will provide an update on all of these rules as well as important analysis and planning suggestions.

Topics Include:
  • Uses of Split Dollar
  • New Policies and Arrangements
  • Planning for Grandfathered Arrangements
  • New Tax Tables
  • Loans v. PS58
  • Reverse Split Dollar
  • Sarbanes-Oxley and the Loan Prohibition
