Why You Should Attend
The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“TCJA”) impacts all taxpayers, some in simple ways. But for family business owners, the issues are more complex. The questions raised with increasing frequency by family businesses are: Would converting from an S corporation to a C corporation trigger any tax? What steps should be taken before converting to a C corporation in order to preserve the ability to distribute S corporation profits? If corporate tax rates increase, what happens if the corporation wants to convert back to an S corporation? When a real estate LLC rents to a commonly controlled S corporation (a very common scenario), does the net rental income qualify for the 20 percent deduction? Can gifting or other estate planning create a better 20 percent deduction for pass-through income? How does being an S corporation or C corporation affect taxation on the sale of a business?
Join a panel of three nationally known experts in estate planning/family business practice to get answers to these and other questions and guide your family business clients on strategies after tax reform.
