Description

Effective in 2018 (coming like a freight train), the TEFRA partnership audit rules are axed and a whole new regime kicks in.  Under the new rules, partnerships (and LLCs) will become strange new beasts potentially taxed like C corps.  Do these new "tax procedure" rules spell the beginning of the end for partnerships as we know them?  Escape routes are available, but not for all.  Advance planning is a must to avoid train wrecks of biblical proportion.
