  • Tax Strategies for Selling Your Company by David Boatwright and Agnes Gesiko Latham & Watkins LLP
    Tax Strategies For Selling Your Company By David Boatwright and Agnes Gesiko Latham & Watkins LLP The tax consequences of an asset sale by an entity can be very different than the consequences of a sale of the outstanding equity interests in the entity, and the use of buyer equity interests as acquisition currency may produce very different tax consequences than the use of cash or other property. This article explores certain of those differences and sets forth related strategies for maximizing the seller’s after-tax cash flow from a sale transaction. Taxes on the Sale of a Business The tax law presumes that gain or loss results upon the sale or exchange of property. This gain or loss must be reported on a tax return, unless a specific exception set forth in the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) or the Treasury Department’s income tax regulations provide otherwise. When a transaction is taxable under applicable principles of income tax law, the seller’s taxable gain is determined by the following formula: the “amount realized” over the “adjusted tax basis” of the assets sold equals “taxable gain.” If the adjusted tax basis exceeds the amount realized, the seller has a “tax loss.” The amount realized is the amount paid by the buyer, including any debt assumed by the buyer. The adjusted tax basis of each asset sold is generally the amount originally paid for the asset, plus amounts expended to improve the asset (which were not deducted when paid), less depreciation or amortization deductions (if any) previously allowable with respect to the asset.

    Note: The draft you are looking for begins on the next page. Caution: DRAFT—NOT FOR FILING This is an early release draft of an IRS tax form, instructions, or publication, which the IRS is providing for your information. Do not file draft forms and do not rely on draft forms, instructions, and publications for filing. We do not release draft forms until we believe we have incorporated all changes (except when explicitly stated on this coversheet). However, unexpected issues occasionally arise, or legislation is passed—in this case, we will post a new draft of the form to alert users that changes were made to the previously posted draft. Thus, there are never any changes to the last posted draft of a form and the final revision of the form. Forms and instructions generally are subject to OMB approval before they can be officially released, so we post only drafts of them until they are approved. Drafts of instructions and publications usually have some changes before their final release. Early release drafts are at IRS.gov/DraftForms and remain there after the final release is posted at IRS.gov/LatestForms. All information about all forms, instructions, and pubs is at IRS.gov/Forms. Almost every form and publication has a page on IRS.gov with a friendly shortcut. For example, the Form 1040 page is at IRS.gov/Form1040; the Pub. 501 page is at IRS.gov/Pub501; the Form W-4 page is at IRS.gov/W4; and the Schedule A (Form 1040/SR) page is at IRS.gov/ScheduleA.

    TAX POLICY CENTER BRIEFING BOOK The State of State (and Local) Tax Policy SPECIFIC STATE AND LOCAL TAXES How do state and local individual income taxes work? 1/9 Q. How do state and local individual income taxes work? A. Forty-one states and the District of Columbia levy broad-based taxes on individual income. New Hampshire and Tennessee tax only individual income from dividends and interest. Seven states do not tax individual income of any kind. Local governments in 13 states levy some type of tax on income in addition to the state income tax. State governments collected $344 billion from individual income taxes in 2016, or 27 percent of state own-source general revenue (table 1). “Own-source” revenue excludes intergovernmental transfers. Local governments—mostly concentrated in Maryland, New York, Ohio, and Pennsylvania—collected just $33 billion from individual income taxes, or 3 percent of their own-source general revenue. (Census includes the District of Columbia’s revenue in the local total.)

  • The Abcs of Mlps: Making Sense of Taxes
    The ABCs of MLPs: making sense of taxes © 2018 Tortoise · www.tortoiseadvisors.com The ABCs of MLPs: Making Sense of Taxes 2 Making sense of taxes and MLPs Master limited partnerships (MLPs) have gained in popularity during the last decade. Along with this growth, comes tax terminology that can be confusing to many investors. At the same time, there are a number of different MLP investment product structures with varying tax implications – which can be especially daunting to new investors to the sector. Our goal with this guide is to clarify some of the tax terms and explain potential tax ramifications for an MLP investor. MLP taxation 101 MLPs are similar to corporations in some respects but are vastly different in others, especially with regard to tax treatment. A corporation is a distinct legal entity, separate from its shareholders and employees. Like individual taxpayers, a corporation must pay tax on its income. To the extent the corporation pays dividends, shareholders must pay income tax on them as well. MLPs, on the other hand, do not pay tax at the entity level if they meet special “qualifying income” requirements. “Qualifying income” is generated from the exploration, development, mining or production, processing, refining, transportation (including pipelines transporting gas, oil or products), or marketing of minerals or natural resources. Energy MLPs were given special tax treatment to encourage capital investment in domestic energy infrastructure. Most MLPs today are in energy, timber or real estate-related businesses. As partnerships, MLPs are flow-through tax entities, with the obligation to pay taxes “flowing through” to the partners.

  • An Overview of Recent Tax Reform Proposals
    An Overview of Recent Tax Reform Proposals Mark P. Keightley Specialist in Economics February 28, 2017 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov R44771 An Overview of Recent Tax Reform Proposals Summary Many agree that the U.S. tax system is in need of reform. Congress continues to explore ways to make the U.S. tax system simpler, fairer, and more efficient. In doing so, lawmakers confront challenges in identifying and enacting policies, including consideration of competing proposals and differing priorities. To assist Congress as it continues to debate the intricacies of tax reform, this report provides a review of legislative tax reform proposals introduced since the 113th Congress. Although no comprehensive tax reforms have been introduced into legislation yet in the 115th Congress, two 2016 reform proposals appear to be at the forefront of current congressional debates—the House GOP’s “A Better Way” tax reform proposal, released in June 2016, and President Trump’s campaign reform proposal, released in September 2016. As with most recent tax reform proposals, both of these plans call for lower tax rates coupled with a broader tax base. In either case, numerous technical details would need to be addressed before either plan could be formulated into legislation. Several proposals have already been introduced in the 115th Congress to replace the current income tax system. The Fair Tax Act of 2017 (H.R. 25/S. 18) would repeal the individual income tax, the corporate income tax, all payroll taxes, the self-employment tax, and the estate and gift taxes. These taxes would be effectively replaced with a 23% (tax-inclusive, meaning that the rate is a proportion of the after-tax rather than the pre-tax value) national retail sales tax.

  • Kuno S. Bell on How Best to Sell Your Ownership in a Rental Real Estate Partnership
    Kuno S. Bell on How Best to Sell Your Ownership in a Rental Real Estate Partnership By Kuno S. Bell, Pease & Associates, Inc. § 3.01 Introduction The statement that you own real estate through a partnership and the real estate is going to be sold sounds quite simple. However, there are many nuances in the tax rules that can greatly alter the tax cost of the transaction. Selling an asset and recognizing a gain or loss can be done in many different ways and each way has its own distinct tax results. When selling an asset, the seller’s goal is usually to maximize his or her cash in pocket, taking into account all items, including taxes. There are basically two kinds of income and losses – ordinary and capital. Ordinary income is taxed at the highest tax rate and ordinary losses can be used to offset all types of income. Long term capital gains are taxed at a lower tax rate. Capital gains, whether long term or short term, can be offset by capital loss carry forwards. IRC Section 1231,1 deals with real property and depreciable personal property used in a trade or business.2 This Code section was created to promote investment in depreciable property.3 If depreciable property held more than a year is sold at a gain, then the gain is classified as a long term capital gain. If depreciable property is sold at a loss, then the loss is classified as an ordinary loss.4 However, something called unrecaptured Section 1231 loss recapture comes into play.

  • CAPITAL GAINS and DIVIDENDS How Are Capital Gains Taxed? XXXX
    TAX POLICY CENTER BRIEFING BOOK Key Elements of the U.S. Tax System CAPITAL GAINS AND DIVIDENDS How are capital gains taxed? XXXX Q. How are capital gains taxed? A. Capital gains are profits from the sale of a capital asset, such as shares of stock, a business, a parcel of land, or a work of art. Capital gains are generally included in taxable income, but in most cases, are taxed at a lower rate. A capital gain is realized when a capital asset is sold or exchanged at a price higher than its basis. Basis is an asset’s purchase price, plus commissions and the cost of improvements less depreciation. A capital loss occurs when an asset is sold for less than its basis. Gains and losses (like other forms of capital income and expense) are not adjusted for inflation. Capital gains and losses are classified as long term if the asset was held for more than one year, and short term if held for a year or less. Short-term capital gains are taxed as ordinary income at rates up to 37 percent; long-term gains are taxed at lower rates, up to 20 percent. Taxpayers with modified adjusted gross income above certain amounts are subject to an additional 3.8 percent net investment income tax (NIIT) on long- and short-term capital gains. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA), enacted at the end of 2017, retained the preferential tax rates on long- term capital gains and the 3.8 percent NIIT. TCJA separated the tax rate thresholds for capital gains from the tax brackets for ordinary income for taxpayers with higher incomes (table 1).
