Course description
Choice of Entity and Succession Planning: Tax and Non-Tax Issues
Understand the tax advantages and disadvantages to better advise your clients on entity selection.
Successfully forming an exempt organization and filing for a federal income tax exemption is complicated. It involves understanding and navigation of both state and federal laws. The exempt organization portions of the Internal Revenue Code and corresponding Treasury Regulations are complex and intellectually dense.
This topic will provide a method of navigating the forms and the rules that will allow you to start filing these applications and to avoid common errors. Gain practical knowledge of entity selection and use when creating, operating, or expanding a business. In addition, you should gain a basic understanding of how to transition a business to family members and/or key employees, or in the alternative, getting ready to sell the business at its optimal value and providing an income stream post-ownership for retirement.
