2.0 CPE CREDITS
This self-study course builds upon the “Basics of Partnership Taxation” self-study course offered by the University of Illinois Tax School. In particular, this course examines the tax consequences of operational decisions once the partnership has been formed.
The course includes discussions of the effects of a partnership agreement on the entity’s operation and the consequences of capital accounting for it. The course looks at how guaranteed payments may have consequences for partners’ self-employment taxes beyond the obvious. Partnerships have the advantage of enabling special allocations of income and expense that corporations generally cannot, and the consequences of the relevant regulations are discussed in conjunction with examples. This course also provides basic information for counseling clients on making the IRC §754 election.
