Tax planning for troubled real estate and partnership transactions

Article Abstract:

An insolvent individual or partnership who voluntarily or involuntarily disposes of property must consider potential tax liabilities because any such disposition, including foreclosures, are considered sales or exchanges. A nonrecourse liability property requires the recognition of gain or loss equal to the difference between the debtor's adjusted tax basis and the liability. Recourse debt gain or loss is the difference between the tax basis and fair market value, and cancellation of debt income can be created. Special tax issues for partnerships and tax planning suggestions are included.

Notice 95-53 can also recharacterize transactions retroactively. The IRS may also apply several tax authorities to certain stripping transactions, including the business-purpose and substance-over-form doctrines or assignment-of-income principles.
