Bloomberg BNA, launched a major expansion of its state tax product offerings. At a time when state taxes continue to grow in complexity and importance, Bloomberg BNA has added must-have analysis, developments, and practice tools that help tax practitioners save time and make confident decisions for their clients.

Among the new offerings is the Estate, Gifts, and Trust Navigator, which allows for the easy creation of charts that offer thorough explanations  of and relevant links to primary sources and additional information within Bloomberg BNA's state tax analysis.

Another new feature is the Trust Nexus Evaluator Tool , which helps save time and streamlines your research on state nexus issues - a gray area of taxation for which there is often little guidance from state tax departments.  The newest tool consists of two components to analyze trust nexus: an evaluator to detail specific nexus scenarios and generate detailed reports of each jurisdiction's trust nexus, and a chart builder to create state-by-state comparison charts showing each state's trust nexus policy.

These new product offerings are seamlessly integrated into Bloomberg BNA's Premier State Tax Library, which includes rich practitioner-focused and multistate analysis, single-state perspectives, high-quality news, extensive primary sources, superior time-saving practice tools, and much more.

We asked both our clients and prospects for feedback on the state tax issues they have to deal with daily, and we created this unique state tax research solution, as part of our overall Tax and Accounting Center™ offering," said George Farrah, Executive Editor of Tax & Accounting at Bloomberg BNA. "Providing both a multistate and single-state perspective, this intuitive all-in-one resource was created specifically to help today's practitioners handle the distinct challenges around developing state tax strategies and complying with various state tax laws."
