Lesson: Disallowed Losses Due to Related Party Transactions

Disallowed Losses Due to Related Party Transactions thumbnail

In this lesson, Nick Palazzolo delves into the complexities of related party transactions, with a particular focus on situations where losses are disallowed. He uses a clear example to illustrate the impact of ownership percentages on the tax treatment of transactions, exploring how Lisa's attempt to claim a loss on a sale to a corporation partly owned by her brother Mark raises red flags under tax laws due to their related party status. Nick makes it easy to understand why certain losses can't be used to offset other gains, emphasizing the tax law's intent to prevent the manipulation of financial activities and to promote natural economic transactions. The lesson leaves no stone unturned in explaining the rationale behind the disallowance of such losses and the broader implications for tax planning and reporting.
