4 I. TRANSACTIONS CREATING CODI By Robert S. Barnett CPA, JD, MS (TAXATION) CAPELL BARNETT MATALON & SCHOENFELD, LLP. ATTORNEYS AT LAW (516)
5 INTRODUCTION PLANNING APPROACH Get the facts! Entity considerations Some elections are made at entity level Loss utilization history Review balance sheet & projections NOL + PAL credit carryforwards Solvency of debtor 5
6 CANCELLATION OF DEBT IRC 61(a)(12) Except as otherwise provided in this subtitle, gross income means all income from whatever source derived, including (but not limited to) income from discharge of indebtedness 6
7 COD 61(a)(12) requires inclusion of income from discharge of indebtedness Borrower receives $ or property offset by debt Accession to wealth freeing of assets Tax basis includes the debt So discharge income is balanced as offset 7
8 EXCEPTIONS ADJUSTMENTS 108 contains numerous exceptions 1017 requires certain basis adjustments Tax attributes ex. NOL s are reduced CODI does not include debt that would have given rise to a deduction if paid (ex. A/P of Cash Taxpayers 108(e)(2) interest) 8
9 DEBT Income tax effects differ RECOURSE vs NONRECOURSE Guaranty 9
10 GUARANTY X guarantees $1,000,000 loan to her corp Corp renegotiates loan with bank Debt reduced to $750,000 Does X have COD income? 10
11 ANSWER NO Mere guarantee is not sufficient Merkel v. Comm., 109 T.C. 463 (1997) aff d, 192 F.3d 844 (9 th Cir. 1999) Corp should receive 1099C Corp is primary obligor Debt restructured freed corporate assets 11
12 TRANSACTIONS CREATING CODI 1. Debt Discharge paying less than full debt CODI = Debt Amount > Cash Payment 2. Significant Modification of Debt: CODI = Principal Amount Old Debt > Principal Amount New Debt 3. Exchange of debt instruments CODI = Issue Price of OLD Debt > Issue Price of NEW Debt (using OID rules) 12
13 TRANSACTIONS continued 4. Repurchase 5. Forclosure / Short Sale 6. Debt / Equity Exchanges may be a deemed exchange if modification. 7. Not disputed amount 13
14 OID 1273 or 1274 Public market Issue Price is Trading Price If market quotations are available 14
15 CODI Generally the difference between the balance of the indebtedness and the amount of consideration accepted by the lender. Income is realized at the time the debt is satisfied. Solvent taxpayers generally report ordinary income on canceled or reduced debt. 15
16 Slide Intentionally Left Blank
17 McCORMICK, TC Memo What is correct amount of CODI? The McCormick family received a 1099 C from Citi Financial Contest of Amount IRC 6201(d) - In any court proceeding: Taxpayer asserts reasonable dispute To income reported on an information return Taxpayer fully cooperated THEN 17
18 BURDEN OF PROOF SHIFTS To IRS Correct CODI was $49.66 IRS could not rely on 1099C CCA borrowers received payments in settlement of unfair lending dispute. Viewed as equitable reformation Timing Gaffney, TC Summary
19 EXAMPLE 1 Debtor transfers property in a voluntary foreclosure Of RECOURSE DEBT RECOURSE DEBT - Debt for which a borrower is personally liable. Whether a debt is recourse or nonrecourse may vary from state to state, depending on state law. 19
20 EXAMPLE 1 CONTINUED 1099C reports Debt cancelled in BOX 2 $465,000 Box 7 FMV $195,000 Box 3 should report accrued but unpaid interest. Request computations from lender 20
21 EXAMPLE 1 CONTINUED Recourse debt is bifurcated: Amount of Debt Cancelled= $465,000 Fair Market Value= - $195,000 CODI: $270,000 OR IS IT? 21
22 CODI 108(e)(2) Should NOT include amounts which would give rise to a tax deduction if paid How was FMV determined? 22
23 GAIN/LOSS Taxpayer s gain or loss is measured by the difference between the amount realized and the adjusted basis of the property. 23
24 EXAMPLE - RENTAL RENTAL PROPERTY Purchase Price = $500,000 Adjusted Basis = $400,000 IRC 1231 Loss = $205,000 (400, ,000) 24
25 NON RECOURSE DEBT Transfer of property: Tufts v. Commissioner Amount realized= $465,000 Basis= - $400,000 Capital Gain= $65,000 Non Recourse debt is defined as Debt for which a borrower is not personally liable. 25
26 WHEN IS DEBT DISCHARGED? Debt Modification Any change in terms, collateral, etc. Significant Modification Will trigger an exchange of the old debt for a new debt Old Debt satisfied for issue price of New Debt. 26
27 REPURCHASE Debtor buys back its debt Related parties example: Acquire $1,000 of debt for $500. COD + OID Result OID income recognized by related party over term of new debt. Debtor has corresponding deduction. Presumption (6 months prior). 27
28 EXCHANGES DEBT FOR DEBT Satisfied old debt with amount of $ equal to the ISSUE PRICE of new debt. Significant modification triggers an exchange 28
29 EXCHANGES CONTINUED CODI = Adjusted issue price of Old Debt minus issue price of New Debt OID = Stated Redemption Price at Maturity Minus Issue Price of New Debt. USE AFR INTEREST RATE on New Debt, so debt is equivalent 29
30 FORM 982 FORM 982 is used to reduce tax attributes due to discharge of indebtedness. The form must be attached to a timely filed return extensions of time to file may be allowed if the taxpayer acted reasonably and in good faith under Treas. Reg IRC 1017 provides rules for basis reduction. 30

34 II. TAX TREATMENT FOR PASS- THROUGH ENTITIES By Robert S. Barnett CPA, JD, MS (TAXATION) CAPELL BARNETT MATALON & SCHOENFELD, LLP. ATTORNEYS AT LAW (516)
35 ENTITY OR INDIVIDUAL Certain items are treated at the entity level Differences arise depending on entity type 108 exclusions are discussed in more detail below, but bankruptcy and insolvency exceptions are tested at the S Corp level but for partnerships at each partner s level Single member LLC s are disregarded entities SEE REV. RULE for conversion to partnership 35
36 CONVERSION OF DEBT INTO EQUITY CORPORATE DEBTOR The Corp. is treated as having satisfied debt with $$ equal to the FMV of stock issued CODI = Debt > Value of Stock Issued 108(e)(8) Bankruptcy and insolvency exclusions may apply 36
37 EXAMPLE ABC owes creditor $1,000 Cancels debt for equity FMV $700 COD = $300 37
38 SHAREHOLDER EXCEPTION Shareholder cancellation 108(e)(6) As if corporation satisfied the debt with an amount of $ equal to the shareholder s basis in the debt No CODI if shareholder s basis in the debt is equal to the issue price; example: of loan of $ 38
39 PARTNERSHIP DEBTOR Similar rules apply BUT NO PARTNER EXCEPTION 721 nonrecognition not if for unpaid rent, royalties, or interest TRAP But CODI if amount of debt > FMV of partnership interest Recognized by each partner immediately before transaction Creditors basis in partnership interest 722 would include her basis in the debt exchanged 39
40 PARTNERSHIP continued Can debt be converted as a capital contribution? Example: debt cancelled to partner/lender as capital contribution Economic substance over form CODI resulted What if $ repaid to partner who then made a capital infusion? 40
41 108(i) Watch for 108(i) entity deferrals 108(i), part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Tax Act, allowed for deferral of business CODI realized in 2009 and 2010 Deferrals must be included in income ratably over 5 years beginning in Rules provided flexible elections and allocations Election at entity level 41
42 108(i) continued Partnership permitted to allocate among partners CODI not deferred was able to be excluded under exclusions DO NOT apply to recognition years Inclusion must occur ratably in Accelerations required Death, Sale, Redemption of shareholder or partner, Sale of substantially all assets, Cessation of business, Liquidation 42
43 OTHER PARTNERSHIP CONSIDERATIONS Attribute reduction includes election to reduce basis in depreciable property This election may preserve NOL s Partnership interest may qualify To extent partnership is holding depreciable property IF partnership also reduces its basis in such property (to extent of partner s proportionate interest) 43
44 IRC 1017 IRC 1017 provides that the partners interest in the partnership is treated as depreciable real property to the extent of the partner s proportionate interest in the partnership s depreciable real property. Partner s election to treat the partnership interest as depreciable real property will result in both the partner s partnership basis and the partnership s basis in the depreciable real property allocable to such partner as reduced. Generally, the partnership may grant or withhold consent unless the taxpayer owns more than 50% partnership interest Recapture and 751 if partnership interest reduced 44
45 RECAPTURE Capital asset basis reductions retain a recapture requirement Any gain on disposition is subject to recapture 45

51 S CORPORATION ATTRIBUTE REDUCTION The Internal Revenue Service has issued Reg (effective 10/30/2009) to provide guidance for S Corporation attribute reduction These regulations describe the attribute reduction for COD income that is excluded from gross income under IRC 108(a) Excluded S Corporation COD income is not passed through to the Shareholders as income and does not increase the Shareholder s basis in stock of the S Corporation This result arose from the Job Creation and Worker Assistance Act of 2002 as a reaction to the Supreme Court holding in Gitlitz v. Commissioner in The Supreme Court allowed a double tax break which was precluded by the new rules 51
52 S CORP CONTINUED S Shareholders cannot take losses or deductions in excess of their basis in stock and debt owed to the Shareholder by the S Corporation Any loss or deduction that is disallowed as a result of the taxpayer having insufficient basis will be treated as an NOL of the S Corporation This deemed NOL includes all losses and deductions disallowed under the S Corporation basis rules 52
