Program Materials

The webinar will increase tax return preparers' familiarity with issues involved in classifying partners’ contributions, distributions and other transactions as disguised sales. The panel will focus on the application of disguised sale rules and ways that an otherwise non-taxable distribution may be taxable.

Description

The issue of when a transaction between a partner and a partnership is subject to the disguised sale rules under Sections 707(a)(2), 704(c)(1)(B),737 or 751(b) can be fraught with confusion. For practitioners who deal with partnerships, these matters are critical.

Tax preparers must focus on the circumstances of the transaction, and determine whether the business deal may be viewed as a disguised sale, thereby triggering a taxable event.

Listen as our experienced panel reviews the rules and offers guidance affecting a tax return preparer's work related to disguised sales, contribution and distribution transactions between a partner and the partnership, the analyses used by the IRS and courts to deem business deals as disguised sales, and abusive situations triggering taxable events.
