Surgent's Understanding Partnership Taxation: Debt Allocations
Available Until Apr. 30, 2026
Online
2.00 Credits
Member Price: $89
How debt is allocated to the partners in a partnership is important. It dictates how much money may be taken tax-free as a distribution, the losses that flow down to the partners, and the gain or loss on the sale of a partnership interest. However, the allocation of debt can differ depending on the type of debt it is and the type of partner we are talking about. Furthermore, 704(c) can complicate things. And what in the world is a constructive liquidation scenario? In this course, we will tackle the concept of debt allocations - how you do it, what it means, and why you do it.Delivery Method: On-Demand WebcastCPE Credit: TaxesProgram Level: IntermediateThis course is being offered by a 3rd party vendor and will not be accessible on your My CPE page.

Partnership tax law is always difficult. However, when certain transactions come up, not knowing how to handle them can be costly to clients and practitioners. In this course, we discuss several of these types of situations. We will explore the tax impacts of a PTE election and how a 754 election affects the inside basis of partnership assets. We will then examine those tricky look-through provisions on the sale of a partnership interest in order to properly calculate the tax implications.Delivery Method: On-Demand WebcastCPE Credit: TaxesProgram Level: IntermediateThis course is being offered by a 3rd party vendor and will not be accessible on your My CPE page.

Online
4.00 Credits
Member Price: $129
Calculating partnership basis is one of the most important things that we do as practitioners. However, it is also one of the most confusing. When we use the term "basis," we really could be referring to one of three different things. This course will explore the differences between inside basis, outside basis, and 704(b) basis. Through several examples and practice problems, we will show you how to easily distinguish among these terms. We will also explore the tax implications of initial contributions of property to a partnership as well as the different types of partnership distributions.Delivery Method: On-Demand WebcastCPE Credit: TaxesProgram Level: IntermediateThis course is being offered by a 3rd party vendor and will not be accessible on your My CPE page.

Surgent's Understanding S Corporation Taxation: Late S Corporation Elections, Disproportionate Distributions
Available Until Apr. 30, 2026
Online
2.00 Credits
Member Price: $89
S corporation taxation has a lot of pieces. There are helpful elections you can make that can potentially save your client money, but there are also rigid rules to adhere to. For example, if there is more than one class of stock, it can terminate the S corporation election. Learning how to successfully navigate these rules can make all the difference. In this course, we will discuss some of the more common specialty areas experienced by practitioners - late filing relief for S corporation elections, disproportionate distributions, and selling S corporation shares. While these items may not come up on every single Form 1120-S, you will be able to add more value to clients when they do.Delivery Method: On-Demand WebcastCPE Credit: TaxesProgram Level: IntermediateThis course is being offered by a 3rd party vendor and will not be accessible on your My CPE page.

Even though they have been around for several years, the tax laws pertaining to S corporations remain some of the more difficult areas of the Internal Revenue Code. Given the rising popularity of S corporations, understanding how shareholder basis and the equity section of the balance sheet work together for tax purposes is imperative for nearly any tax practitioner. In this course, we will discuss this relationship.

When putting together a financial plan, it is important to remember that the tax situation of the business and the individual are often intertwined.

In this course, we will explore when self-employment taxes apply to business income, as well as some of the lesser-known taxes that apply to flow-through entities.
