Description

From the formation of the entity, ownership and holding purpose affect how the income, deductions, gain, and loss are characterized, allocated, and reported among various partners. Real estate partnerships carry a myriad of tax considerations, which tax professionals must identify to serve their LLP and LLC clients.

Recent legislation provided new energy incentive tax credits that provide benefits for real estate partnerships. This panel will kick off with an overview of the new tax credits and how they can be utilized by real estate partnerships.

Among the many planning and reporting challenges is determining whether property is characterized as dealer property. Property that is treated as dealer property has significant tax implications because income recognized on the disposition of property that is not “dealer property” can qualify for favorable long-term capital gains rates, whereas gain from the sale of dealer property is taxed as ordinary income.

Other challenges for real estate partnerships include determining the impact of the carried interest regulations on the real estate partnership, whether the partnership qualifies for the 199A passthrough deduction, and whether the partnership can elect out of 163(j), the interest expense limitation.

Listen as our experienced panel provides a detailed and advanced look at the complexities of real estate partnership tax considerations and discusses some of the planning techniques available to avoid negative tax consequences that may arise in real estate partnerships.

  1. The Inflation Reduction Act and energy incentive tax credits
  2. Tax criteria and consequences of dealer property
  3. Carried interest
  4. Section 199A – passthrough deduction for qualified business income
