Event Description

Even though they have been around for several years, the tax laws pertaining to S-Corporations remain some of the more difficult areas of the Internal Revenue Code. In this course, we will examine how S-Corporations break away from the normal tax rules for flow-through entities. We will explore which employee benefits are disallowed for S-Corporation shareholders, as well as which taxes are assessed at the entity level. Finally, we will discuss how state level taxation may have changed permanently with the addition of PTE elections!

Objectives

– Recognize the factors to consider when evaluating the reasonableness of S-Corp shareholder compensation – Recall which fringe benefits will result in additional W-2 income for S-Corp shareholders – Calculate the Built-In Gains tax and Excess Passive Income Tax – Identify the federal income tax implications of a PTE election at the state level.
