Taxation II
Professors Stephen Cohen, Michael Doran, and Martin Ginsburg
J.D. Course 422 | 4 credit hours

    This course is a continuation of Taxation I. The course examines income tax aspects of the formation and liquidation of corporations and interim distributions to shareholders. It also concerns the sale of a business operated in corporate form. While the focus is on the traditional corporate form, it is contrasted with alternate forms of business operation--partnerships and subchapter S. NOTE: Students who plan to take the Business Planning Seminar or the course in Structuring Venture Capital and Entrepreneurial Transactions should take Taxation II, a prerequisite for that seminar and course, as early as possible in their upperclass years.
