Description

For 25 years the tax law has encouraged closely held businesses to be taxed as a partnership or S Corporation. Recent tax changes, including increased rates on high-income taxpayers and the new 3.8% Medicare tax on Net Investment Income, makes this a good time to re-examine your choice of entity. This presentation will compare the tax advantages and disadvantages of partnerships, S corporations and C corporations.  This course is approved by the IRS. The submission of a completed request form, found under the materials tab, is required for credit.
