Tax Management Portfolio, Tax Incentives for Economically Distressed Areas, No.
597-2nd, brings together in one place analyses of the many income tax provisions designed to encourage business activity and investment in economically distressed areas. The portfolio separates the analyses into
four categories. The portfolio also presents a history of the provisions as they have been added, expanded, and modified.
First, the portfolio discusses the different types of qualified distressed areas. This permits the practitioner to compare and
contrast the regions Congress has selected for tax-targeted assistance.
Second, the portfolio discusses the various types of qualified assets. This permits the practitioner not only to compare and contrast the different kinds of properties that Congress intends to encourage but also to explore the complex relationships between asset types and the different qualified distressed areas.
Third, the portfolio analyzes the specific tax benefits available to taxpayers who comply with the requirements for conducting business or making investments in economically distressed areas. These benefits include gross income exclusions, nonrecognition, deductions, and credits. The benefits are established not only in provisions specially designed for the particular tax-favored activity or investment
but also in expansions and modifications of definitions and requirements in place for tax benefits available to taxpayers generally.
Fourth, the portfolio describes the many tax detriments that affect taxpayers who take advantage of one or more of the tax incentives for economically distressed areas. These detriments consist of basis reductions, deduction reductions, tax attribute reductions, and
income recaptures.
