A short walkthrough from Nadia Rodriguez, CPA, CTC, of what you’ll learn and who this course is built for.
Stop guessing on S Corp basis
Shareholder basis is one of the most misunderstood areas of S Corporation taxation. Every single year, calculation errors cost clients thousands in unnecessary taxes and damage a tax professional’s credibility. When the IRS comes knocking, guessing on Form 7203 is not an option.
Stop stressing over basis calculations and get the exact framework you need to file with total confidence.
We pulled the most requested module from our flagship S Corporation Masterclass and built it into a focused, standalone training. Whether you have never calculated shareholder stock and debt basis before or you just want absolute certainty you are getting every number right, this is exactly where you need to be.
What you will be able to do
After completing this self-study course, you will confidently:
Identify and distinguish the different types of shareholder basis in an S Corporation.
Determine initial stock basis across complex acquisition scenarios (Partnership, C Corp, LLC, and more).
Calculate increases and decreases to shareholder stock basis accurately.
Identify valid debt basis: understand exactly when shareholder loans create valid debt basis and when they do not.
Master Form 7203: prepare, review, and support Form 7203 with total confidence year after year.
