Why Should You Attend
Shareholder basis is a topic the IRS is looking more intensely at. For S Corps, the IRS is not requiring Form 7203 to be filed with the shareholder’s returns to prove basis. Basis is required in order to deduct losses, make a tax free distribution, sell the stock in an S Corp or repay a shareholder loan. If practitioners are doing their due diligence, then they will need to know shareholder basis.
In addition, C Corp basis functions a little differently but is still required in order to determine gain and loss on the sale of a business (which we are seeing more people sell their businesses now)
