Understanding S-Corp Taxation: Late Elections, Disproportionate Distributions, Selling Shares
1 Credit Hours Price: 1 Tokens
S-Corporation taxation has lots of pieces. There are helpful elections you can make that can potentially save your client money. There are rigid rules to be adhered to. For example, if there is more than one class of stock, it can terminate the S-election. Learning how to successfully navigate these rules can make all the difference. In this course, we will be discussing some of the more common specialty areas experienced by practitioners – late filing relief for S-elections, disproportionate distributions, and selling S-Corporation shares. While these items may not come up on every single Form 1120-S, you will be able to add more value to clients when they do!
