Course Description

In the dynamic field of S corporation taxation, professionals face the challenge of understanding complex scenarios that span multiple tax years, involving losses, gains, and various shareholder interests. This program offers a comprehensive exploration of these challenges through a practical two-year case study.

The first part of the study delves into a year of losses, highlighting the treatment on the corporation and each shareholder, and detailing the preparation of crucial tax forms and schedules for 2021. The second part shifts to a year of income, demonstrating how previous losses can be offset, and includes the complexities of acquiring another S corporation. This hands-on approach provides participants with deep insights into preparing and understanding forms such as Form 1120-S and shareholder Form 7203, calculating stock and debt basis limitations, and managing built-in gains tax. By the end of this online CPE course, participants will be adept at handling a range of S corporation tax situations, enhancing their capability to advise clients and manage corporate tax responsibilities effectively.
