The retiring owner of a family corporation can take advantage of the "five-out-of-ten" rule by converting to S corporation status at the time of retirement. Passive activity income can only be reduced by losses resulting from passive activity. If the business is an S corporation, income and loss are consider nonpassive if the taxpayer has materially participated for five of the last ten years. By converting from C corporation to S corporation status, the owner can ensure that income and losses will both be considered passive and can therefore be offset.
Proposed regulations under Section 1374 provide for an adjustment to the amount that may be subject to tax in certain cases in which an S corporation acquires assets from a C corporation in an acquisition to which Section 1374(d)(8) applies. These regulations provide guidance to certain S corporations that acquire assets from a C corporation in a carryover basis transaction.
Regulations proposed by the IRS clarify the built-in gains tax treatment of corporations that switch their elections from C corporation to S corporation status, but corporations considering the S election may want to do so before the proposed rules take effect. Internal Revenue Code Section 1374 imposes the built-in gains tax on unrealized appreciation on the date that a corporation converts to S status. The tax is assessed over a 10-year recognition period, and is calculated by comparing fair market value of all assets with adjusted basis, factoring in other losses and liabilities.
C corporation to S corporation IRS final regulations under IRC section 1374 identify how to treat built-in gain when a C corporation converts into an S corporation. Changes from the proposed regulations to the final regulations focused on the valuation of inventory, when section 481 adjustments may be made and whether the accrual method should be used to determine inclusion of an item in built-in gain. The final regulations also affirm that the lookthrough rule should be applied to partnership interests held by the corporation.

A corporation that recently changed from an S corporation to a C corporation may still change tax years without seeking IRS approval if it meets the requirements set forth in the IRS regulations under IRC section 442. To avoid having to submit a Form 1128 and demonstrate a business purpose for the tax year change, the C corporation must meet five conditions. The corporation must not have a net operating loss, it must not have requested a change in 10 years, it cannot subsequently elect S status, its annualized income for the short period must be at least 80% of that for the prior year and any special status for the prior year must be maintained for the short year.
This article suggests that statutes governing both corporations and limited liability companies should require all owners to read several warnings about the dangers of a lack of advance planning before starting a business, or before purchasing an equity interest in an existing closely held business. Part I of this article reviews the current landscape of available business forms and details the many ways in which the majority owners of a business can take advantage of the minority owners. Part I also reviews the many ways in which the minority owner could have protected himself -- if he had the foresight to do so.
