The fastest growing tax reporting entity is the LLC taxed as a partnership. Tax practitioners now see partnership tax vehicles used by any type of taxpayer, including large corporations. The flexibility of partnership taxation has much to do with their use, but the distinctions between the “aggregate” and the “entity” approaches create significant uncertainty in many transactions.

This session is “Part I” of a two-part program on partnership taxation. This session will review many of the basic provisions of subchapter K and will help prepare both staff and management for dealing with more complex partnership tax concepts.

In this four-hour CPE webinar nationally recognized tax expert and instructor James Hamill, CPA, Ph.D., will explain the taxation of partnerships by use of commonly encountered transactions. The session will generally follow a “life cycle” approach, beginning with a review of what it means to be a partnership for tax purposes, the consequences of formation, and ending with the effects of distributions on both the partnership and the partners.
