Program Content
This online learning program, presented as a live webcast, will be also archived for QAS Self Study. The program will be available for viewing for 12 months after the live webcast. A panel of IRS and industry experts will present the content during a live, interactive discussion, where participant questions can be submitted. Questions will be answered live on the program or posted on the Resources page.
The program, through a lively round-table discussion and real time interaction with the audience, looks at the tax issues that arise throughout the life-cycle of rental properties. The program will focus on the tax and reporting issues of acquiring, owning, operating, and selling rental real estate. Panelists will examine issues that arise during the acquisition, including the allocation of costs. The panel also will explore the concept of rent, the expenses commonly incurred in the operation of rental real estate, and the tax consequences of additions or improvements to leased property. The panel will examine the tax ramifications of the disposition of rental property, including the all-important tax-free exchange.
By the end of the program, participants will have a practical understanding, through accurate, current, and effectively designed communications, of the major tax issues that arise during the acquisition, operation, and sale of rental real estate.
