Corporate tax filings have long been infamous for their complexity and the substantial paperwork involved, burdening businesses considerably. Large, publicly traded corporations often struggle to manage this, with one company reportedly filing three tax forms every working hour of the year. Smaller corporations and shareholders face similar burdens.
Recognizing this, the IRS is taking steps to streamline or eliminate cumbersome regulations. Over 20 regulatory groups have been modified to simplify various tax situations.
A key area of improvement involves corporate share transfers under section 351. Previously requiring up to 18 different documentation items from both corporations and shareholders, the IRS now mandates filings only for individuals owning more than five percent of a public company or one percent of a private company. Moreover, these individuals will now only need to submit basic information, marking a significant improvement.
Another major hurdle has been the need for physical signatures from certain shareholders, complicating corporate and shareholder filings. The IRS is reducing this requirement, allowing electronic submissions instead. While this may seem minor, it simplifies the process significantly, especially when forms needed to be signed by multiple shareholders across the country.
The IRS’s initiative to simplify corporate and shareholder filings is a commendable step towards addressing these complex issues. This effort marks progress in dealing with a historically challenging area.
