LLCs and S Corporations: Mitigating Self-Employment Tax for Flow-Through Entities
Recording of a 110-minute CPE webinar with Q&A
This course will assist tax professionals in determining whether flow-through income should be subject to self-employment tax. Our veteran pass-through entity panelist will explain how reasonable compensation, payments to partners, and management authority status affect whether an owner's distributive share of income from a pass-through entity is subject to self-employment tax. He will examine how the recent Soroban case impacts self-employment tax and limited partners.
