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.
