Event Synopsis:

Few things match the daunting complexity and confusion of tax regulations regarding Unicap and partnership capital account maintenance rules. But, determining Shareholder’s Basis in S Corporation Stock and Debt is a challenge even to taxation specialists. In July 2014, the IRS issued final regulations addressing indebtedness of S corporations to their shareholders, ruling that S corporation shareholders may increase their debt basis only if the indebtedness is bona fide.

Ideally, shareholders must track this basis. But in-variably, this is left to tax professionals. The rules are written to distinguish between C and S corporations. In S corporations, tax on income is allocated to the corporation’s shareholders who report it in their individual tax returns (pass through). Debt must be directly from the shareholder to the S corporation and the shareholder must have an actual economic out-lay.

The Knowledge Group has assembled a panel of key thought leaders to provide the audience with an over-view and in-depth discussion of S Corporation stock and debt shareholder basis regulations, challenges, and legal up-dates. In this CLE webinar, the panel of speakers also will help listeners understand how distributions from an S corporation are taxed, how to calculate and adjust a shareholder’s initial stock and debt basis, determine the timing and ordering rules and consequences of re-paying reduced-basis debt, and they will discuss compliance risks.

Some of the major topics that will be covered in this course are:

§  S Corporation Regulations

§  Recent Legal Issues on S Corp and Tax- Exempt Organizations

§  C Corporation vs. S Corporation

§  Direct Debt

§  Economic Outlay

§  Fund Sources and Flow

§  Unrelated Business Taxable Income (UBTI) Liabilities

§  Excess Business Holdings Tax

§  Best Practices to Resolve Complex Tax Challenges

§  Possible Legal Actions
