Program Materials

This CLE webinar will provide tax counsel with clarification of gain/loss recognition rules of IRC Sect. 704(c)(1)(B) and Sect. 737 for partnerships. Our panel will discuss the general rules of applicability and exceptions, review characterization rules, and offer best practices for dealing with other compliance challenges.

Description

IRC Sections 704(c)(1)(B) and 737 work in tandem. The goals of the Sections are to prevent contributing partners from shifting built-in gain to another partner and from avoiding built-in gain by receiving an in-kind distribution in partial or complete liquidation of his or her interest.

Guiding clients impacted by these IRC Sections includes a number of traps for the unprepared. Counsel must have solid grounding in the rules, exceptions and complexities. Clients often fail to understand that they must report gain or loss of property distributed to a fellow partner as either capital or ordinary income.

Tax counsel must be fully aware of the complex tax issues involved in partnership mergers and revaluation. Our panel will equip you to handle all of these challenges, provide clarity on anti-abuse regulations and applying the rules consistent with the purpose of the sections.

Listen as our authoritative panel explains the IRC gain/loss recognition rules and exceptions for partnerships. They will discuss specific areas of particular complexity including revaluation rules, anti-abuse, and its applicability to partnership mergers and deemed liquidations.
