The Disaster Tax Relief and Airportand AirwayExtensionAct of 2017provides tax assistance for victims of Hurricanes Harvey, Irma, and Maria.

This Deskbook discusses the requirements that must be met in order to benefit from these provisions. Disaster Relief Provisions. The IRS has extended the due date of making tax payments and filing tax returns for victims of Hurricanes Harvey, Irma, and Maria, and has provided additional resources for businesses. This Deskbook explains the process for claiming tax deductions for casualty losses to help businesses recover from these disasters. New Practice Aids. A new illustration explains and summarizes the economic performance rules in terms of the timing of service, payments, and deductions, including when the 2½, 3½, and 8½ rules apply. Passive Activity Rules. Recent favorable court cases and IRS guidance clarify when real estate professionals can deduct losses and how the grouping of activities can aid in utilizing suspended losses. Research Credit. This Deskbook includes an expanded discussion of the research credit to aid in taking this benefit, including offsetting the AMT or payroll taxes. In addition to these featured items, your Deskbook includes the following: 1 Personal Service Corporations 2 Tax Years 3 Accounting Methods 1.

Added a discussion of the return filing requirements for taxpayers using the two-year deferral method for certain advanced payments. 5.
