A big thank you to Chris Klug and Gina Lee of Basswood Counsel for presenting today's Integra International webinar, "U.S. Taxation of Nonresidents, Including Nonresidents Working in the U.S., and U.S. Estate and Gift Taxation of Nonresident Aliens"!

Chris and Gina covered a lot of ground, from tax residency tests and income sourcing rules to foreign tax credits and treaty planning, then moved into estate and gift taxation for nonresident aliens, including FIRPTA, pre-immigration planning, and structuring strategies for cross-border families. Their real-world case studies brought a technical topic to life and gave our members practical insight they can bring back to their own client work.

Thank you both for sharing your expertise with the Integra community!
