NEW YORK - Almost 200 people filled room to hear the tax experts of Salibello & Broder LLP (S&B) discuss this year's stimulus bill and strategies to cope with the Madoff scandal as the firm held its fifth annual Tax and Estate Planning Issues for High Net Worth Individuals on Tuesday, May 19, 2009 at the University Club in New York City.

"Our high net worth seminar featured timely and important issues that affect many high net worth individuals," said Sal Salibello, Managing Partner of S&B. "Our firm is known for staying ahead of the changes in tax law and, in turn, we enjoy updating our clients and friends."

The breakfast seminar focused on a number of timely topics. The seminar commenced with addressing the growing Alternative Minimum Tax concern and how more people are falling into the "AMT trap." Next, the "all in" cost of state and local income taxes were discussed and addressed personal income tax facts for the New York, New Jersey and Connecticut tri-state area.

The seminar closed with tips on wealth transfer and charitable giving and Grantor Retained Annuity Trust (GRAT), specifically when a GRAT should be utilized; what assets can fund a GRAT; the advantages and disadvantages; gift, estate, GST and income tax consequences and IRS audit issues.

"The purpose of the seminar is to help high net worth individuals create a sound strategy in their planning," said Ross Rizzo, CPA and Partner and Director of tax with S&B. "The topics cover a great deal of issues affecting high net worth individuals that is not presented in an overly technical manner."

With many of his victims being high net worth individuals, it was difficult not to address the fallout from the Bernie Madoff scandal. The discussion included tips on how to report the loss and an explanation of the IRS rulings that serve as guidance for investors.

Speaking along with Ross Rizzo were Dan Zeman, CPA, Tax Partner and Jim Wetzold, CPA, Senior Tax Manager.

The next tax seminar, U.S. Tax Issues for U.S. Resident and Nonresident Aliens and U.S. Citizens Working Abroad, and will be held on Tuesday, November 17, 2009.
