This course examines and compares the federal income tax treatment of the various forms of business enterprises and their owners. We begin with the traditional corporation, which is treated as a taxpayer separate from its owners. Because of the important changes made by the Tax Reform Act of 1986, we devote the second half of the course to the conduit business vehicles- partnerships, S corporations, and limited liability companies. Topics covered include: organizing and setting up the capital structure of the entity; how operations are taxed; transactions between the entity and its owners; taxable or tax-deferred sales or termination of the entity, and exit strategies for the owners; and the choice of entity for various business purposes. 4. 000 Credit Hours 4. 000 Lecture hours Levels: Graduate Business, Master of Laws, Law Schedule Types: Lecture Chicago- Kent College of Law College Law Department
