Hey Salt peeps. I’m curious what kinds of practices you specialize in and how long you’ve been doing it? Would you specialize in something different in tax if you could turn back the clock?

I have been in SUT for most of my career. Love being an SME because clients rely on my expertise.

Absolutely would do it again. To me, it seems to be the fastest growing area of tax, along with International tax. I also believe these are the two areas where you can distinguish yourself from others that are just ok. Happy to talk more if you want to message me.

I was a general SALT person for 2 years, the a property tax person for 2. I then switched to being an i/f person who did a fair amount of c&I work and a little unclaimed property. After 3 years of that I went to just I/F for 6 the next six years and got really into I/F planning for mega transactions. I burned out on that/B4 and went to a local firm where I'm back as a SALT generalist now. The specialization was awesome while I was in B4, but it really limited my choices to B4 or public companies if I wanted a lateral move when I left my firm. A friend got me into the local firm.

Both have a lot of opportunities. If you are thinking of going to smaller clients in the future the sales/use tax knowledge will be a big asset. A good 90% of the questions clients call with are sales tax related.

Real estate, and I love it. Fell into it by accident, but 6 years into my career, I am sticking with it.

How to make a leap from UI/UX into product design? What skills should a PD have? With 5 YOE and I still feel like a junior. I have a good eye for visual design, but I'm a bit scared of the business strategy, analytics and testing part. Where do I start to learn those skills? I know the basics of testing and conducting workshops, but I don't know how to develop those skills further. My company focuses on UI and I haven't been lucky to land a PD job. Do companies really look for all those skills?

Los Angeles Area comp for 2nd year asset management?

Currently making $85k with a 7.5k signing bonus. Wondering if I’m being underpaid in my role. Ive tried probing my colleagues but no dice.

I was paid a retention bonus last year which I have to return - couple of questions: Will I get a corrected W2 ? If yes, how much time does it generally to generate a corrected W2? Should I wait for corrected W2 to file the return ? (with the current comp - I owe taxes however with the W2C - I will probably not..) thoughts??

New Jersey partnership question.

Partnerships need to use market sourcing for purposes of calculating NR withholding tax (though NJ doesn't even call this withholding anymore).

However, for purposes of calculating the NJ distributive share of income, you apply Gross Income Tax (personal income tax) rules, which is 3 factor and includes COP.

If I end up with 0% apportionment under GIT and 10% apportionment under CBT (withholding tax), the partnership pays tax upfront but NRs get 100% refund?
