This program is a basic introduction to the lifecycle of a limited liability company that is treated as a partnership from a tax perspective. Every tax practitioner needs to know how LLCs work from a tax perspective--from formation to liquidation--because so many taxpayers either choose to use the LLC framework, or at least consider it when setting up their business. This program will give you a solid foundation in the basic tax rules that regulate LLCs from birth to death.

Major Topics:

  • Formation of an LLC
  • Taxation of LLC operations and K-1 allocations to members
  • LLC liquidating and nonliquidating cash and property distributions
  • How member basis is determined initially and adjusted over the life of the business
  • How member basis and the at-risk and passive activity loss rules work in terms of regulating the losses members can take

Learning Objectives:

  • Understand the tax rules surrounding the formation of an LLC
  • Discuss LLC liquidating and nonliquidating cash and property distributions
  • Identify how basis is initially determined and then adjusted over the life of the business

Designed For: Any tax practitioner who advise clients regarding choice of entity issues or who has LLCs or LLC members as clients
