This course will examine complex tax clauses in operating agreements to assist tax practitioners in identifying and implementing these key provisions in accordance with partners' expectations and existing regulations.

Description

Many operating agreements include targeted capital account balances to affect preferential distributions to partners. Partners can receive preferential returns, then the return of capital contributions, and finally distributions relative to their partnership interests. These tiered or waterfall distributions are rife with complexities that must be grasped by advisers working with partnerships and LLCs.

Listen as Jeffrey Clayman, CPA, JD, LLM, Tax Senior Manager at Withum Smith+Brown, walks you through examples of difficult provisions in operating agreements, including waterfall allocations, minimum gain chargebacks, qualified income offsets, and liquidating distributions. Tax practitioners must identify, interpret, and apply the most complex provisions in LLC agreements to properly allocate income, deductions, and gains and losses from dispositions of partnership interests.
