Sidney Kess, CPA-attorney, consulting editor to CCH Inc., author and lecturer, writes that after tax practitioners' scramble to find the appropriate tax treatment for their clients who were victimized in a Ponzi scheme, the IRS has now provided a safe harbor for certain investors to realize some immediate tax relief for their financial losses. Using the safe harbor, under which investors can treat Ponzi scheme losses as a theft loss and claim a tax deduction now, avoids problems of proof of how much income reported in prior years was fictitious or a return of capital. It also makes the losses ordinary losses rather than capital losses, with more favorable tax results.
