Module 5 Other Pass-Through Entities
In this module, we will examine the concepts of pass-through entities with an introduction to other pass-through business models. We will analyze limited liability companies (LLC), limited liability partnerships (LLP), family partnerships, and Subchapter S corporations (S corp). We will discuss the unincorporated nature of the LLC, which offers both the limited liability of a corporation and the tax implications of a partnership. Next, we will discuss LLP and family partnership. We will also explore the increased limitation to liability and eligibility requirements necessary. Finally, we will analyze the qualifications and procedures for a corporation to elect S corporation status.
