Buying or selling an interest in a closely held corporate business is an important transaction.

Review rules related to determining the stock basis of an S corporation, treatment of suspended losses, distributions, accumulated adjustment accounts, the built-in gain tax, excess net passive income tax, allocation of income and losses related to changes in ownership of an S Corp, and tax treatment of S corporation terminations.
