Surgent's Taking Advantage of Like-Kind Exchanges (2 hours)
-
Online
2.0 Credits
Member Price: $99
See more dates
When real property is sold for a gain, we always try to find ways to defer recognizing income so that it won't be necessary to send a check to Uncle Sam. There is a provision within the Internal Revenue Code that allows the taxpayer to defer recognition of immediate taxable gain in the year of sale known as a "like-kind exchange." Knowing how and when to utilize this provision makes the Accounting and Finance Professionals very valuable to either their client or the entity they work for. We will also discuss recent proposals that could impact the future of this provision. Please Note: due to overlap with the ISL4 course, customers should not take both.
