Program Materials

This teleconference will provide tax professionals with a thorough briefing on using and realizing the potential benefits from the finalized Sect. 336(e) in instances of deemed asset sales.

Description

After more than 20 years of waiting for updated guidance, the Service issued final regulations under Sect. 336(e) in June 2013. These regs allow taxpayers to elect to treat the sale, exchange and/or distribution of a corporation’s stock in a subsidiary as a deemed disposition of the subsidiary’s underlying assets.

These final regulations provide a new consideration in structuring sales of corporate stock to minimize the potential impact of federal income taxes on these sales.

Because of the dramatic shift in tax liability potentially resulting from a Sect. 336(e) election, tax professionals must thoroughly understand the tax implications and have the proper agreements in place prior to making the election.

Listen as our panel of veteran tax specialists explains the applications, benefits and pitfalls of Sect. 336(e).
