-LLCs and partnerships: Learn the detailed rules of 704 for preventing the shifting of tax consequences among partners or members; determine how to calculate basis under both 704 and for at-risk under 465; recognize how recourse, nonrecourse, and qualified nonrecourse debt can create significantly different tax results; review 754 step-up in basis rules; and learn how TCJA cleans up the basis treatment of charitable contributions and foreign taxes paid
