Manolakas, sets out the critical concepts and issues in partnerships and LLC practice, illustrating its points with hundreds of examples, practice observations, charts and insightful explanations. The thorough coverage also makes the book an excellent choice for courses on the taxation of these pass-through entities. (576 pages, $99.

Covers Entire Breadth of Partnership Taxation

In six sections, Partnerships and LLCs: Tax Practice and Analysis explains in detail the most important points of partnership and LLC practice. From choice of entity considerations to sales and liquidations, the entire breadth of partnership and LLC taxation is covered. Special attention is given throughout to the complex interworkings of rules that control and tax these entities.

In a section on preliminary considerations, key areas such as the "check the box" rules, "anti-abuse" rules, investment joint venture rules, the application of partnership taxation to LLCs, liability issues, passive loss limitations, audit issues, self-employment taxes, IRS classification, tax year and accounting method selection are set out.

The second section looks at property contributions and disguised sales, transactions between a partner and the partnership and formation and start-up expenses. A special summary table for the tax treatment of pre-opening expenses is included.

Next, the book explains the taxation of operations including partnership income rules, the pass-through concept and the partner's share of income and debt. Specific rules, reporting and compliance issues are thoroughly addressed. Form 1065 and Schedules L, M-1, M-2, K and K-1 are also explained.

Succeeding sections deal with the partner's share of partnership debt and disposition of a partnership interest. The final section covers distributions, including nonliquidating, liquidating, special distribution exceptions and disproportionate distributions. This section also includes coverage of the death or retirement of a general partner and special rules for service partnerships.

Appendices include federal tax forms and instructions, a case table, finding lists for Internal Revenue Code sections and Regulations and a topical index.
