Transfers Of Partnership Interests And Optional Adjustments To Basis, Donald J. Weidner Jan 1980

Transfers Of Partnership Interests And Optional Adjustments To Basis, Donald J. Weidner

Scholarly Publications

In 1954, Congress enacted the first comprehensive statutory treatment of partners and partnerships in an attempt to clarify and simplify an area of the law it considered strikingly confused. A quarter of a century later, much confusion and complexity continues and must be dealt with by practitioners who do not have the luxury of specializing in tax, much less in partnership tax. The rules on optional adjustments to basis are particularly perplexing to many attorneys because they involve the accounting function, often foreign to the lawyer's training and talents, and often performed with heavy reliance on another profession. The two …

Realty Shelters: Nonrecourse Financing, Tax Reform And Profit Purpose, Donald J. Weidner Jan 1978

Realty Shelters: Nonrecourse Financing, Tax Reform And Profit Purpose, Donald J. Weidner

Scholarly Publications

The Tax Reform Act of 1976 made sweeping changes in the area of tax shelters. Real estate tax shelters are the only ones to survive with any semblance of their former vitality.

Thus, it is only in the real estate area that …
