This CLE/CPE course will guide tax counsel and advisers on navigating the complexities of characterizing partnership liabilities as recourse or nonrecourse. The panel will explain the significant tax and economic consequences for partners caused by distinctive treatments under the current tax code and regulations.

Description

IRC Section 752 makes a distinction between partnership liabilities. Tax counsel must determine the impact that the difference for recourse or nonrecourse treatment has upon a partner’s tax basis to produce optimal tax planning strategies.

The interplay with Section 704 allocations of income and gain heightens the inherent challenges of applying Section 752 liability allocation rules.

Practitioners must be prepared to analyze and explain issues of minimum gain chargebacks and develop partnership agreement provisions to address allocations of gains from nonrecourse deductions.

Listen as our experienced panel of tax attorneys provides a guide to the distinctions between recourse and nonrecourse partnership liabilities, discussing planning techniques to leverage Section 752 to achieve optimal tax results.
