This webinar will analyze the Internal Revenue Service's recently released three-part guidance package targeting related party partnership basis shifting transactions. The panel of esteemed tax attorneys will discuss the impact of these new rules, including offering advice for examining existing related party transfers and preparing for potential audits of these arrangements.

Description

The IRS' emphasis on related-party partnership basis shifting is intense. The Service has formed a new associate office for pass-through entities within its Large Business and International Division. The IRS projects its efforts to end this abuse will raise $50 billion within 10 years. Danny Werfel, the IRS Commissioner, is bringing in outside experts to aid their efforts.

Basis shifting involves transferring basis between assets owned by related parties. The IRS has determined these transfers are primarily tax-motivated shifts without economic substance. The recently released guidance package includes:

  • Notice 2024-54, which announces future proposed regulations covering covered transactions, among other guidance
  • REG-124593-23, which identifies related-party partnership basis shifting transactions as transactions of interest
  • Revenue Ruling 2024-14, which identifies three types of related-party partnership basis shifting transactions that would be disregarded under the economic substance doctrine.

Particularly concerning is that the new proposed regulations stipulate that the disclosure requirements for these reportable transactions would be retroactive. Partners, partnerships, and pass-through entity advisers need to consider the implications of this guidance on existing and future transactions.

Listen as our panel of tax controversy experts reviews the new proposed guidance package and offers insights into preparing for these impending examinations.
