Taxation of Real Estate Partnerships

Taxation specific to the real estate industry is awash with special tax laws that are complex and associated with the real estate industry. The current tax laws and regulations may determine profitability when acquiring and disposing of real property. Special tax laws have been promulgated to mitigate the tax burdens, which in turn may determine returns on investment in real property. Historically, the partnership and, more recently, the limited liability company entities are the most commonly used forms of ownership when acquiring or constructing real property. The seminar explores how partnership taxation using either type of entity applies in many areas of the real estate industry.
