Do you have expert knowledge and practical wisdom to share for managing tax compliance on campus? NACUBO invites you to submit a proposal to present at the 2013 Unrelated Business Income Tax Program, February 20-22, 2013, in Orlando, FL.

We are seeking presentations addressing the following college and university tax topics. This list is illustrative--relevant topics not appearing on the list will be also considered.

Basic overview of UBIT (historical framework/refresher)
Current UBIT issues update
Corporate sponsorships and agency
Managing UBIT at a small college
Managing UBIT at a large university
Loss activities
UBI from investments
Advanced UBIT issues (For example: controlled entities, research and commercialization, debt-financed property)
Methodologies for allocation of indirect expenses
State and local tax issues (For example: multi-state reporting)
Recent IRS audits - discussion of specific UBIT issues and IRS approaches

In selecting presentations for the UBIT program, the program committee will be evaluating sessions best suited to the needs of tax professionals at colleges and universities. Some key considerations as you prepare your proposal:

Include as much detail as possible about the presentation.
Include 2-3 specific learning objectives or audience takeaways
Gear the presentation towards an audience at the intermediate level of understanding, rather than basic treatments or overviews (except for when requested)
For presenters from practitioner firms, we strongly suggest you include a speaker from a college and university in your presentation

Submission of a presentation does not guarantee participation in the program.
