This webinar will review the components of Revenue Rulings 99-5 and 99-6 and the application of these rulings in frequently encountered scenarios. Our panel of pass-through strategists will focus on the tax implications of these rearrangements and how taxpayers and tax advisers can utilize these rulings to provide tax relief when ownership changes hands.

Description

Revenue Rulings 99-5 and 99-6 are employed to facilitate entity restructuring, changes in partnership interests, and other acquisitions. Often, a single-member LLC will acquire a new member or members or a partnership, or one partner may acquire all other partnership interests. Revenue Ruling 99-5 covers the former, while 99-6 contains guidelines for the latter.

These revenue rulings explain the tax consequences with examples that include criteria for nonrecognition of the gain when property is contributed to a partnership, determining basis in a partnership interest, and relative holding periods. Partnerships that have in place or make a Section 754 election could receive a basis step-up due to restructuring. Revenue Rulings 99-5 and 99-6 aid in Section 1031 like-kind exchanges and S corporation F reorganizations. Invoking these guidelines can mitigate and defer income taxes payable by these entities and their owners.

Listen as our panel of federal income tax experts explains Revenue Rulings 99-5 and 99-6, including practical applications and real world examples to assist with partnership, LLC, and disregarded entity restructuring.
