My course, TX731 Taxation of Regulated Investment Companies and Their Shareholders, will provide a comprehensive review of the issues surrounding the taxation of regulated investment companies (RICs). Since their introduction over 50 years ago, RICs, also known as mutual funds, have become the primary savings vehicle of many Americans. The two fundamental questions surrounding mutual funds are how a RIC qualifies as under the Internal Revenue Code and how is the liability for income earned by the RIC is borne. The course text, Taxation of Regulated Investment Companies and Their Shareholders, by Susan A. Johnston and James Brown can be found at Thompson Reuters. The text is “A complete and practical guide to all aspects of federal taxation relating to regulated investment companies (RICs), including mutual funds, and their shareholders. It also provides in-depth coverage of non-tax regulatory aspects of RICs, where such aspects are critical to understanding the tax effects of regulated activities. Throughout, it provides solutions and strategies to deal with this area’s unique and extremely complex tax issues.
