Webinar

Lower C corporation income tax rates have increased attention to the Code § 1202 exclusion for gain on sale of stock. We will discuss how that and related provisions work, how they compare with other business exit strategies, and a recent Tax Court case that informs intrafamily business sales and loans. We also mention a new favorable IRS position regarding deducting charitable contributions that generate state tax credits for business owners.

You will learn:

  • How the Code § 1202 exclusion works, how it applies when a business changes from another entity to a C corporation, how it informs a C corporation's business structure, and how it compares to other business exit strategies.
  • How to move from corporate status to a partnership once the tax benefits of being a C corporation has run its course.
  • The impact of Dynamo Holdings Ltd. Partnership v. Commissioner, T.C. Memo. 2018-61, which addresses sales and loans between businesses owned by related parties. It limits the application of a taxpayer-friendly 2009 case on business transfers but also provides hope for those with relaxed documentation of loans.
  • How states' reactions to 2017 tax reform imposing a limit on state income tax and personal property tax deductions led to the IRS attacking state tax credits awarded for charitable contributions, which ironically resulted in a Revenue Procedure that provides favorable rules when businesses make those contributions.
