Surgent's Taking Advantage of Installment Sales and Like-Kind Exchanges
-
Online/Webcast
4.00 Credits
See more dates
When real property is sold for a gain, we always try to find ways to defer recognizing income so it won't be necessary to send a check to Uncle Sam. There are two provisions within the Internal Revenue Code that allow the taxpayer to defer recognition of immediate taxable gain in the year of sale: installment sales and like-kind exchanges. Knowing how and when to utilize these provisions makes the Accounting and Finance Professionals very valuable to either their client or the entity they work for. We will also discuss recent proposals which could impact the future of these two provisions. Please Note: due to overlap with the INS2 and LKE2 courses, customers should not take ISL4 if one or both of these other courses has already been taken.
