Overview

The partnership section of the Internal Revenue Code is arguably one of the most complicated. That complexity, and the reliability of tax software to properly handle it, can create many issues for you and your staff when processing your client’s LLC and partnership tax returns. Join us as we discuss the common errors practitioners make on partnership tax returns that are often missed by review staff. The intent is to sharpen skills for reviewers by examining case studies and discussing issues where additional information from the client may be warranted and areas of tax law where proper treatment requires additional analysis and information. Multiple issues will be discussed, including income, deductions, K-1 reporting, and K-2 and K-3 reporting. This course follows a highly illustrative case study format to increase participant comprehension and retention.
