Course Description
This program uses a case study to illustrate the purchase and sale of an S corporation. There are two parts. The first compares the sale of all of the assets and the sale of all of the stock. Both the target corporation and the purchaser are S corporations. Each of the two corporations has two 50/50 shareholders. The target corporation is a simple business, but it is a going concern. Therefore the residual method of Code Section 1060 governs the allocation of the price for both the purchase and the seller if the deal is an asset sale.
Part 1 covers the asset exchange and the stock deal with no special elections.
Most of the coverage of the asset deal focuses on the seller. There are assets that produce different types of gains, including built-in gains taxable to the corporation, and ordinary income and capital gains taxable to the shareholders. An installment receivable from the purchaser is a major portion of the sale price, and this adds several complications for the target corporation and its shareholders.
The target has accumulated earnings and profits from C corporation years, and the terms of the asset sale create passive investment income problems. To deal with these the case study analyzes the AAA bypass election, and computes the effects of a complete liquidation on both the corporation and its shareholders. The special S corporation rules and liquidation distribution rules are important aspects of the asset sale.
Part 1 concludes with the alternative approach of a stock purchase/sale with no Section 338(h)(10) or Section 336(e) election. It suggests a discount based on the difference in tax benefits between the asset purchase and the stock purchase. In both alternatives there is also discussion of a covenant not to compete purchased from one of the selling shareholders.
Part 2 deals with variations on the stock deal. It includes the Section 338(h)(10) and Section 336(e) elections. It also covers converting the target corporation to a Qualified Subchapter S Subsidiary via the popular Type F reorganization strategy.
