NYC Pied-à-Terre Tax Hindered by Hidden LLC Ownership

New York City’s pied-à-terre tax rollout is hindered by owners masking property ownership behind LLCs and other entities, leaving the city with insufficient information to confirm primary residences for many of the roughly 17,000 notices issued. City lawyers say more than half of the properties are owned by trusts or non-natural entities, complicating enforcement and potentially reducing revenue (the city estimates about $500 million annually). The rollout has sparked a lawsuit, with exemptions already granted to thousands and an extension granted for exemption applications to Oct. 6; a court challenge continues to shape the policy’s implementation.

NYC pied-à-terre tax backfires, pushing middle-income homeowners into estate planning

New York City’s pied-à-terre surcharge, originally aimed at the wealthy, is prompting a broad swath of middle-class homeowners to consult lawyers and rethink ownership, often via trusts or LLCs to manage liability and privacy.

Alec Bohm Files Lawsuit Claiming Parental Misuse of His Finances

Phillies infielder Alec Bohm filed a Philadelphia County lawsuit accusing his parents of mismanaging and misappropriating his funds through two LLCs they controlled, seeking $3 million and full accounting. The suit, which also cites two additional 2024 LLCs tied to Bohm’s Texas property and alleged use of funds for the parents’ personal expenses and the Alec Bohm Foundation, alleges transfers and lack of disclosure. Both sides’ representatives deny wrongdoing and say they’ll pursue/defend the matter through legal channels; Bohm, who has about $14 million in career earnings plus a $10.2 million salary for 2026, has not publicly commented beyond the case.

Turley exposes Biden family's complex web of LLCs and hidden assets.

House Republicans have released new allegations about the Biden family's foreign business dealings, including details about several LLCs, which Fox News contributor Jonathan Turley argues confirm their worst expectations about the "family business." Bank records show that several Biden family members, including grandkids, received funds from foreign business dealings. The family business had dozens of LLCs and accounts that seemed designed to hide these payments. The House Oversight Committee panel believes President Biden "has been involved" in his family's foreign business dealings "from the very beginning." The White House has accused the investigation of being "evidence-free" and "politically-motivated."
