About this ebook
The 4th Edition of Partnership Taxation by George K. Yin and Karen C. Burke is a comprehensive casebook focused on the intricate tax rules of Subchapter K. Structured using a conceptual "building-block" framework, it guides readers from basic formations to highly complex corporate transactions. [1, 2, 3, 4]
Core Topics & Chapters Covered
According to the textbook's curriculum and standard structure, the text primarily spans: [1, 2]
  • Choice of Entity: Analysis of how partnerships and LLCs compare to other business structures (like C corporations and S corporations).
  • Partnership Formation: Looking at tax-free contributions of property, the distinction between capital and profits interests, and avoiding disguised sales.
  • Determining Basis: Exploring "inside basis" (the partnership's basis in its assets) versus "outside basis" (a partner's basis in their partnership interest).
  • Allocation of Partnership Liabilities: How recourse and nonrecourse debt impact a partner's outside basis.
  • Calculation of Distributive Share: Substantial economic effect rules and how partnership items of income, gain, loss, deduction, and credit are shared among partners.
  • Transactions Between Partners and Partnerships: Treatment of guaranteed payments, sales, and exchanges between a partner and the entity.
  • Sales of Partnership Interests: Navigating the look-through approach, capital gains, and hot assets under Section 751.
  • Partnership Distributions: Tax consequences of current (operating) and liquidating property or cash distributions.
  • Basis Adjustments: Optional and mandatory basis adjustments resulting from transfers or distributions (Sections 754, 743(b), and 734(b)).
  • Partnership Anti-Abuse Rules: IRS policies designed to prevent the misuse of Subchapter K flexibilities. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]
New Focus Areas in the 4th Edition
This specific edition was meticulously updated to reflect crucial federal tax overhauls (up through early 2020), introducing topics such as: [1]
  • The Section 199A passthrough deduction and the 21% corporate tax rate landscape. [1]
  • Revised Treasury regulations regarding the allocation of partnership liabilities, including the elimination of bottom-dollar payment obligations. [1]
  • The Section 1061 three-year capital gain holding period mandated for service partners holding carried interests. [1]
  • The updated definition of a substantial built-in loss under Section 743(b) alongside the repeal of the technical termination rule under Section 708. [1]
