Welcome! Strafford is now BARBRI! The expert courses you know from the trusted global leader in legal education.
Description
Many operating agreements include targeted capital account balances to affect preferential distributions to partners. Partners can receive preferential returns, then the return of capital contributions, and finally distributions relative to their partnership interests. These tiered or waterfall distributions are rife with complexities that must be grasped by advisers working with partnerships and LLCs.
Listen as our panel of seasoned partnership experts, walks you through examples of difficult provisions in operating agreements, including waterfall allocations, minimum gain chargebacks, qualified income offsets, and liquidating distributions. Tax practitioners must identify, interpret, and apply the most complex provisions in LLC agreements to properly allocate income, deductions, and gains and losses from dispositions of partnership interests.
