This course is the first in a series of four courses covering the significant areas of corporate transactional taxation, including corporate organizations, dividends and other non-liquidating distributions, stock redemptions, liquidations, spin-offs and other corporate divisions, reorganizations and tax attributes.

This course focuses deeply on corporate organizations and contributions of property to corporations, and non-liquidating distributions (including dividends). It reviews in detail the tax implications to all affected parties, including shareholders as well as the participating corporations. In addition to discussing the key US tax provisions, regulations and case law, it describes planning considerations and discusses how the relevant rules apply to common fact patterns.

This course is ideal for tax professionals, financial accountants and management accountants that wish to develop or refresh expertise in corporate transactions. CFOs and other finance professionals who have some familiarity with tax and wish to increase their understanding of the area will also find it useful.

The problem is with the exam questions. Many of the exam questions are poorly drafted and the answers that are expected are in fact incorrect! For example, how can one know if a distribution is taxable as ordinary income if the E&P of the corporation is not known?

This course exam is too difficult for the material actually covered in the instruction. This should be a 2-credit course. I listened to it once, reviewed the slides separately and then still had difficulty with the exam.

Agree with prior comment that final exam was too difficult given course content/examples provided. Need more examples, particularly over the dividends to the various classes of stock.

Way too high level of an overview for the CPE questions asked.
