Webinar (CA): Buying and Selling S Corporations: Tax Planning Opportunities

Buying or selling an interest in a closely held corporate business is an important transaction. CPAs must be prepared to fully consider the unique tax characteristics of an S corp to advise their clients best whether they are the sellers or buyers.
This course will consider buyer and seller perspectives, relevant law, tax planning opportunities, pitfalls to avoid and necessary compliance issues. Review the rules related to determining stock basis of an S corp, 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 corp election terminations.
Plus, study different tax consequences of asset sales and stock sales, including Sect. 338 and 336(e) elections. The significant changes made by 2017 TCJA are discussed and analyzed.
