Practitioners often avoid C corporations due to two levels of taxation: the entity level and the shareholder level. However, for the right taxpayer in the right situation, using a C corporation can provide significant tax savings over other entity options. This course will review how taxpayers can minimize dividend distributions as well as provisions that allow for tax-preferred dispositions or liquidations of C corporation stock.

Learning Objectives

  • Understand the basic taxation of C corporations and their shareholders.
  • Explain the reasonable compensation issues for C corporation shareholders.
  • Describe how C corporations can minimize taxable distributions to shareholders.
  • Explain the tax benefits available to owners of qualified small business stock (QSBS).
