Course Description

Partnership tax law is always difficult. However, when certain transactions come up, not knowing how to handle them can be costly to clients and practitioners. In this course we discuss several of these types of situations. We will explore the tax impacts of a PTE election and how a 754 election affects the inside basis of partnership assets. We then examine those tricky look-through provisions on the sale of a partnership interest in order to properly calculate the tax implications on the sale of a partnership interest.
