Description
Learning Objectives & Overview
Learning Objectives
After completing this course, you will be able to:
• Differentiate between the basis rules and the at-risk rules.
• Determine a taxpayer’s amount at risk on Schedule K-1 of a flow-through entity’s income tax return.
• Identify when a guarantee of partnership debt provides the guarantor with an amount at risk and when it does not.
• Determine whether nonrecourse debt used to acquire real property meets the qualified nonrecourse debt requirement necessary to include the debt in a partner’s amount at risk.
• Ascertain when aggregation of activities is permissible to use an excess amount at risk from one activity to increase a shortfall in an amount at risk of a less generating activity.
Overview
This QAS Self Study program is designed for tax professionals of all levels of experience and for people in the accounting and legal professions.
The program begins with the at-risk rule basics and how to compute and report a taxpayer's amount at-risk.
The program then addresses: (1) the impact of debt guarantees; (2) borrowing from someone who has an interest in an activity other than as a creditor; (3) what is the activity of holding real property for purposes of classifying nonrecourse debt as "qualified nonrecourse debt"; and (4) when activities can be aggregated.
CLE Credit
Each state has its own Continuing Legal Education (CLE) credit requirements. Tax Forum has not applied for CLE credit in any state for its Self-Study programs. No assurance can be provided that any Self-Study program will qualify for CLE credit in a state. If you require CLE credit, we suggest you contact the applicable state bar association (or other governing body) on how you may request CLE credit for attending one of Tax Forum’s Self-Study programs.
