Summary
Enhance your tax business by expanding your knowledge of partnership and S corporation taxation. For partnerships, we will cover complicated activity such as guaranteed payments, making the §754 election, changes in partner ownership and hot assets. For S corporations we will cover reasonable compensation for shareholders, built-in-gains (BIG) tax and changes in shareholder ownership.
