Learning Objective

  • To explain the distinctions between recourse and non-recourse debt, outlining their impact on a partner's basis and at-risk status.
  • To detail the implications of the Bi-Partisan Budget Act of 2015 on partnership audits and tax collection procedures.
  • To clarify the advantages and disadvantages of S-corporations as a tax entity, focusing on factors like self-employment tax, fringe benefits, and double taxation.
  • To provide insights into reasonable compensation considerations for S-corporation officers, including factors the IRS examines.

Course Overview

Navigating the complex world of taxes and business entities is akin to embarking on a thrilling adventure, fraught with twists, turns, and potential treasure troves of savings.

This CPE Webinar provides a detailed exploration of tax considerations for various business entities, primarily focusing on partnerships, S-corporations (S-corps), and C-corporations (C-corps). It delves into the intricate rules governing tax basis, recourse and non-recourse debt, and at-risk calculations within partnerships. The discussion also touches on the Bi-Partisan Budget Act's impact on partnership audits, shifting the responsibility to assess taxes directly to the partnership.

S-corps are examined in-depth, highlighting their benefits, such as minimizing self-employment tax and pass-through taxation, but also addressing challenges like determining reasonable compensation and restrictions on deductions. C-corps, with their flat 21% tax rate and potential for double taxation, are also discussed. This course also sheds light on how the Qualified Business Income (QBI) deduction affects the choice of a business entity, showcasing scenarios where a sole proprietorship might be more tax-efficient than an S-corp, particularly as income levels rise.

Case studies, including the Fleischer case, underscore the importance of correctly attributing income to the appropriate entity. The Fleischer case, in particular, demonstrates that income control takes precedence over salary considerations for S-corp owners. This content provides valuable insights into the complexities of tax planning and entity selection for businesses, emphasizing the need for legitimate income attribution and genuine business activities in S-corps, rather than mere income routing to circumvent self-employment taxes.
