The built-in gains tax - the IRS issues proposed regs
Article Abstract:
The IRC section 1374 proposed regulations provide guidance for the application of the built-in gains tax that was enacted by Congress to prevent corporations from avoiding double tax on appreciated property sales. The built-in gains tax affects S corporations that converted to S status after 1987 but there has been minimal guidance to the section's application. The proposed regulations determine net recognized built-in gain, reduce the gain by losses, apply the current tax rate and determine the final tax. However, unrecognized gain rules are still confusing.
