Partnership

At the Law Office of Anthony W. Greco, we understand the stress and life altering
circumstances that individuals and companies often deal with when facing business disputes.
That is why it is important to have an attorney who has extensive experience in choice of entity
issues as well as other business law matters, and who can provide counsel and advice in an
understandable, practical and effective manner.

There must be two or more owners in a partnership seeking to make a profit. Income
and losses pass through to partners for federal tax purposes even though the entity itself reports
them. Losses, which can be used to offset income on personal income taxes, cannot exceed a
partner’s basis and must overcome additional hurdles outlined by the Internal Revenue Code.
Partners are jointly and severally liable for each other with regard to the partnership’s business.
Also, a partnership can be utilized to take advantage of an exception to the “transfer-for-value-
exception,” including within a corporate setting. This means that a non-insured partner or
partnership can receive tax-free life insurance proceeds through a policy transfer of the insured
partner on the policy. There are a host of other factors regarding an individual’s or company’s
converting to and out of partnership status that must be addressed with precision planning.
