- Nonshareholder Contributions to Capital. Due to recent federal stimulus
legislation, taxpayers in all types of industries have applied for, and will be
receiving, federal and state government grants. The key industries that will
receive funds include telecommunications, power and utilities,
transportation and education businesses. In many cases, these businesses
may have never received government payments before. These taxpayers are
now grappling with whether the payments can be excluded from gross
income as a nonshareholder contribution to capital, and, if they can, how to
make associated basis adjustments. This panel will discuss recent guidance
in this area, pending ruling requests and choice-of-entity issues such as
whether it is more advantageous to finance eligible activities in corporate or
partnership form.
