Compass Tax Educators

Tax professionals are often asked to assist taxpayers with deciding which entity structure would be most appropriate for their businesses. While the consideration and conversation often focus on the tax ramifications of the selection, there are other factors which must be considered. Prior to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, the conversation between a tax professional and client when making a decision about entity structure largely revolved around whether there was a need for legal liability protection and tax savings. Throughout this course we will analyze the advantages, disadvantages, tax reporting and other considerations among the available options. Instruction also includes several examples of the tax results for each entity option for various scenarios changing only one factor at a time in order to easily see the effects of each choice.

Learning Objectives

• Identify possible entity choices available to taxpayers
• Understand the difference between the entities available
• Recognize certain factors that make one entity choice more appropriate than the others
