  • Format Self-Study Webcasts
  • Credits 4.00
  • Level Intermediate
  • Field of Study Taxes (4)

Overview

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.



Major Topics:

  • Three different types of basis
  • Contributions of property
  • IRC 704(b) – Capital Accounts and Special Allocations
  • Contributions of property and debt
  • Contributions of services
  • IRS Notice 2020-43

Learning Objectives:

  • Calculate inside basis, outside basis, and 704(b) basis
  • Recognize the concept of substantial economic effect
