NCTI: Because ‘GILTI’ Was Too Honest
The One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) did not just modify GILTI—it effectively replaced it with a new framework: net CFC tested income (NCTI). While the name change may suggest a simple rebranding, the underlying rules have been materially revised, with significant implications for U.S. shareholders of controlled foreign corporations.
This program focuses on what actually changed—and what did not. Participants will walk through the transition from GILTI to NCTI, including revisions to the calculation of tested income, the removal of certain exclusions, and changes to the Section 250 deduction that increase the effective tax rate. The program will also address how these changes impact foreign tax credit calculations and overall tax liability.
Equally important, the program will highlight areas where the framework remains familiar, helping practitioners avoid overcorrecting or misapplying prior GILTI concepts. Emphasis is placed on practical application and practitioner decision-making, including how to evaluate the impact on existing structures, identify planning considerations, and communicate changes to clients.This program is designed for practitioners who already understand the basics of GILTI and need a clear, practical roadmap for navigating the new NCTI regime.Learning Objectives (NASBA)

Did you know your client's Adjusted Gross Income can affect how much they pay for Medicare premiums? You will certainly get an earful from your client when they find out their Medicare premiums are going up. Is there anything you can do about it? This is called the Income-Related Monthly Adjustment Amount (IRMAA). We will review how IRMAA is computed and what we can do to help our clients manage their IRMAA amount. We will start with a bonus topic of the Social Security Fairness Act which was passed in January, 2025 which may affect some of your clients who can get retroactive Social Security benefits all the way back to 2024.
