S corporations, at present, are the largest tax filer in the United States of America. This book provides, in a single volume, a complete guide and reference tool for the tax practitioner to solve the many problems arising in regard to S corporate taxation. Code Sec. 199A generally allows shareholders of an S corporation a 20% deduction on S corporate income plus special rules for tangible property acquisitions. Because there were ambiguities in the statute, on August 8, 2019, the Treasury issued proposed regulations to interpret Code Sec. 199A. This 8th edition at ¶725 provides an extensive detailed discussion of the proposed regulations with many examples to explain the operation of Code Sec. 199A. While this book does not cover every single case, ruling, or procedure on a particular point, the reader is provided with the main case or point in a particular area, so that this situation can be understood quickly. To assist the reader, tax planning situations are presented throughout the book. As an example, Majestic Star Casino 2013-1 USTC ¶50,338 (3rd Cir. 2013) discussed at various points in the book held that the S election is a personal right in bankruptcy, not a property right; thus, if the shareholders of an S corporation revoke the S election just before filing the corporation's bankruptcy petition, it is not a transfer in fraud of creditors and the shareholders are not responsible for the S corporation's debts unless they personally guaranteed them. In re Health Diagnostic Laboratory, Inc. 578 B.R. 552, 126 AFTR 2d 2017 -6736 (Bankr.ED Va 2017) sustained this same result in the 4th Circuit. Scott Singer Installations, Inc. TC Memo 2016-161 discussed at ¶904.10 involved a case where a shareholder claimed his contributions of cash into his S corporation were loans, but there was no documentation of the loans on the corporate books. The contributions were made during a period of both corporate profitability and loss. The Court felt that during profitable periods, the contributions were loans, but during losses, were contributions to capital. This book is organized into sixteen chapters. Chapter 1 discusses the tax considerations in electing S corporate status, as well as the advantages and disadvantages of S corporate taxation. Chapters 2-10 detail operations of an S corporation, discussing the statutory requirements to be an S corporation, the types of taxpayer who can qualify as shareholders, considerations that one must make before converting a C corporation to S status, etc. Chapter 11 sets forth income and estate planning situations for S corporations. Chapter 12 covers changes which could occur in the life of an S corporation, namely, termination and revocation of the S corporate status, sale of S corporate stock, reorganization of the corporation, etc. Chapter 13 provides the reader with a comparison of S corporations to other business entities, such as one-person limited liability companies, partnerships, and C corporations. Chapter 14 discusses S corporation subsidiaries, Chapter 15, employee stock ownership plans ("ESOPs") for S corporations, and Chapter 16, a detailed discussion of the final and proposed regulations under Code Sec. 1411. The author attempts to keep this book current and up to date. Thus, ¶724 in Chapter 7 discusses the final tangible property regulations which went into effect as of January 1, 2014 and as aforesaid, ¶725 discusses in detail Code Sec. 199A and its proposed regulations.
