Partnerships and S Corporations: How to Calculate Basis:- 

The IRS has recently increased the pressure on how to calculate and report partner and shareholder basis. Changes in the forms reflect these developments. This program provides a detailed analysis of the calculations related to determining tax basis for a partnership interest and S Corporation shareholder shares and loans. How to use the Form 1065, Schedule K-1 and Form 1120S, Schedule K-1 information for basis determination. Illustrated examples with filled in forms will demonstrate how the processes works and their many potential pitfalls.

This course reviews accurate reporting, correcting, and reconstructing for partner and S corp shareholder basis. Including two very common matters affecting S corp shareholder and partner basis related to how business ERTC refunds and PPP loans were reported on the entity tax returns.

This two-hour webinar will discuss basis calculations for S-Corps and Partnerships, as well as capital accounts and partnerships. Basis calculations are tricky for practitioners, because basis is actually an individual/Form 1040 concept — individuals are responsible for determining their basis. However, all of the items necessary for making this computation are generated at the S-corporation or partnership level. This training focuses on the numbers necessary to make basis calculations, and what those calculations actually impact. In additions, partnerships now have a requirement to report capital accounts under the tax basis of accounting. Capital accounts ARE an entity requirement (unlike basis). This webinar will cover how to determine capital accounts, and what a capital account affects.
