Allocating Partnership/LLC Income, Losses and Debt to Partners
Description
The course focuses on three major issues that involve allocations by partnerships to partners: (1) assuring that allocations to partners have substantial economic effect under section 704(b); (2) the proper treatment of forward and reverse built-in gains or losses under section 704(c); and (3) the proper characterization of debt and the appropriate allocation of such debt to the partner/LLC members pursuant to section 752.
Attendees will review case studies illustrating the inherent interrelationship of these three subjects and review sample partnership/LLC agreement language.
Note: Course materials include an e-book and PowerPoint slides that reinforce concepts and will be available to attendees.
