Course Description
This course has been developed to acquaint beginning appraisers with the
requirements of preparing appraisals for the intended uses that require an
opinion of Fair Market Value and to provide experienced appraisers with a review
of and information about changes of the laws and regulations to which appraisers
must adhere in preparing such valuations. In addition, this course will provide
updates to current terms and practices for all professional appraisers.
The course reviews the concept of Scope of Work in relation to IRS
requirements for the various intended uses of a Fair Market Value appraisal and
the various definitions from the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) and compares
them.
The course also looks at the new regulations and requirements of a
personal property appraisal for non-Cash Charitable Contributions as well as the
requirements for estate tax filing.
Because not all requirements derive from the regulations, this
course provides information on the outcomes of numerous tax court cases
that have an impact on appraisal requirements. Class participants will read and
discuss several of the precedent-setting tax court cases.
Included in the course are explanations of the concepts of fractional
donations; ordinary income and capital gains property; the selection of
appropriate market and comparable properties; the "suggested" format of an
appraisal and the requirements of an appraisal; and the different roles of the
IRS "players" in the process.
Course Materials
Attendees will receive hard copies of the course materials at the
class.
