Program Description:
On IRS 2021 Forms 1065, Schedules K-1 and Instructions, IRS continues to ask for tons of detailed information and they’ve changed up the way they ask for it.
In a jolting new move, IRS has made every domestic U.S. Form 1065 preparer responsible to prepare and file Schedules K-2 and K-3 (re: international) (though 99% of the time not needed) or else do massive new due diligence to sidestep the filing requirement. This course shows you exactly what to do in response.
In a huge new development, IRS released Rev. Proc.s 2021-48, -49 and -50 to allow taxpayers the choice to report PPP debt relief income (and, thus, deduct PPP funded expenses) in their tax year of choice. This opens up a tax planning extravaganza.
In this action packed 3 hour program, you’ll learn:
- How new Schedules K-2 and K-3 knock Form 1065 out of orbit and impose stunning new duties on a 1065 preparer’s shoulders
- Tweaked (once again) tax basis capital account reporting – What must be computed and disclosed (and by when)
- Extraordinary new available tax planning: How partnerships (and S Corps) enjoy optional new timing choices for placement of PPP debt relief income
- Plethora of other new info required (built-in gains lying in wait, disregarded entity partners, new tiered partnership reporting and more)

We can’t wait to be a deer in the headlights. We’ve got to get on this one now.
