Field of Study: Taxes

Overview:

One of the biggest tax mistakes made by businesses involves the selection of an inappropriate entity type or not properly handling the rules that apply to allow certain structures to be formed tax-free. Should a client be a corporate tax entity? Is it possible that they might qualify for a tax-free exit under Section 1202 so that a C corporation makes sense? Maybe an S-election is better? Or is this all wrong and is a tax partnership structure far more appropriate? This course will help participants understand both how to advise clients to select a proper entity and how to structure the formation to reduce or totally eliminate immediate taxation.

Objectives:

• Explain the advantages and disadvantages of various business structures • Recognize new businesses that could be formed to allow a tax-free exit via Section 1202• Properly report the transactions related to business formations on tax returns

Designed For:

CPAs, accountants, and financial professionals who advise clients that start new business ventures.
