IRS Form 7217 is an IRS tax form required for partners receiving distributions of property from partnerships. Starting for tax years beginning in 2024, a partner who receives property from a partnership must file Form 7217 with his or her annual income tax return. Form 7217 is filed by any partner receiving a distribution of property from a partnership to report the basis of the distributed property, including any basis adjustment to such property as required by Section 732(a)(2) or (b). This new IRS form is part of the IRS's general concern regarding basis shifting in favor of high marginal tax rate related partners. Form 7217 is now required and details the types of property distributed, the aggregate basis, and the allocation of basis to the distributed property. Form 7203 is designed to assist in tracking an S corporation shareholder's stock and debt basis. Form 7203 is a significant improvement from the worksheets the IRS provided formerly and over time will serve to help partners and partnerships keep track of their stock and debt basis. The course covers the structure and organization of Form 7203 as well as how an S corporation shareholder's stock and debt basis are calculated. OSCPA has partnered with the Washington Society of CPAs for this event.

This two-credit-hour CPE session gives experienced CPAs and tax practitioners a practitioner-focused, litigation-tested framework for applying the passive activity loss rules of IRC Section 469. The course walks through the statutory mechanics that segregate active, passive, and portfolio income; the seven material participation tests under Temporary Treasury Regulation Section 1.469-5T(a) and the evidentiary standards courts have used to reject unsubstantiated participation logs; the two-pronged test for qualifying as a real estate professional under Section 469(c)(7); the activity aggregation election under Treasury Regulation Section 1.469-9(g) and late-election relief under Revenue Procedure 2011-34; and the interaction of these rules with the 3.8% Net Investment Income Tax under Section 1411. Drawing on recent case law involving failed real estate professional claims and rejected time logs, the course closes with a practical framework for assessing accuracy-related penalty exposure under Section 6662 and assembling audit-ready documentation. Practitioners who advise clients with rental real estate, closely held businesses, or other loss-generating passive investments will come away with a concrete checklist for classifying income, substantiating participation, and defending return positions on audit. OSCPA has partnered with the Idaho Society of CPAs for this event.
