Do My Liberty ACCT 618 Course for Me

The opening week, Monday through Friday, pairs two introductory chapters with the checklist, introductions and the essay.

Week two covers formation, with Forum 1.

Week three covers capital structure and distributions, with Lesson Problem 1.

Week four covers stock dividends and redemptions, with Lesson Problem 2.

Week five covers liquidations, with Lesson Problem 3.

Week six covers taxable acquisitions and reorganizations, with Lesson Problem 4.

Week seven covers corporate divisions and carryovers, with Lesson Problem 5.

Week eight covers the final chapter, with Forum 2, ending on the course's last Friday.

Every week after the first opens on Saturday.

The chapters follow a corporation's life, from formation through distributions and redemptions to liquidation, acquisition and division. Each lesson problem tests the two chapters read that week, so the reading and the problem move together.

There are no quizzes or exams in the course. That makes each weekly item count for more, since nothing else can make up lost points.

The study problems book is a separate volume from the treatise. Have both from the first week, since Lesson Problem 1 draws on it in week three.

Each item starts from your instructor's assignment, since the study problems chosen can vary by section.

The essay is drafted from your notes, built around a single research problem told from question to answer.

Forum 1 explains Section 351 with examples, then the two replies take up classmates' points at length.

Each lesson problem is answered question by question, with the Code section, the computation and a sentence of reasoning.

Distribution and redemption problems start with earnings and profits and the attribution rules, since both decide the outcome.

Liquidation problems set out the corporate and shareholder consequences separately.

Reorganization and division problems test each statutory requirement and judicial doctrine in order.

Forum 2 takes up a current issue and its effect on shareholders.

The answers are kept in the order the questions are asked, numbered to match the problem book. That makes them easy for your instructor to grade and for you to follow.

Where the treatise discusses a point at length, the answer cites the relevant part of the discussion. Footnotes are followed when they settle a question.

Long replies in the forums engage the classmate's argument directly. Each adds a case, a ruling or a Code provision, with two scholarly citations.

The essay is written in your voice and checked against your notes for accuracy. Nothing about your experience is invented.

Reorganization answers name the type under Section 368 and check continuity of interest and business purpose. The consequences to each party follow only after that.

The practitioner reads ahead so each answer is ready early. Where your instructor posts extra guidance, it is followed.

A corporate tax practitioner does the work, usually a CPA or tax attorney who advises on transactions.

They use Bittker and Eustice in practice.

They have structured the transactions the lesson problems describe.

A colleague checks each lesson problem before release.

One practitioner handles your whole course.

They have drafted the memos that support real redemptions and reorganizations. That practice shows in the way each answer is ordered and cited.

Several have taught corporate tax to junior staff. Their explanations are written so a student can follow each step.

Your name stays with the coordinator. The practitioner sees only the assignments.

A colleague reads each answer against the Code before delivery. Computations are checked twice.

The reading is the steady difficulty, two dense treatise chapters every week.

Week three is the first hard week, since earnings and profits must be understood before any distribution can be answered.

Week four's redemptions bring in attribution rules that change who is treated as owning what.

Week six's reorganizations are the most technical chapters, with lettered types and judicial doctrines.

Week seven's divisions need every Section 355 requirement tested, including the device test.

The forums ask for unusually long posts, which take time even when the topic is clear.

Earnings and profits run through the whole middle of the course. A student who misunderstands them in week three carries the error into redemptions and liquidations.

Attribution rules are hard because they treat a shareholder as owning stock held by family members and related entities. Applying them before the Section 302(b) tests changes many answers.

Liquidations in week five need the corporate and shareholder sides kept apart. Students who merge them lose half the points on a question.

Forum 2 in the final week asks for a current issue, which means reading beyond the treatise. Recent journal articles and IRS guidance are the usual sources.

Section 351 in week two is easier, but its control test trips students who forget that the transferors as a group must hold 80 percent after the exchange. Forum 1 often turns on that point.

Your essay comes within the first few days.

Week two opens with the Forum 1 thread in hand; the replies come later that week.

Problem sets are delivered midweek, ahead of each Friday.

Forum 2 arrives early in week eight.

The lesson problems are the largest cost, the forums next and the essay smallest.

A single booking for the term costs less per item.

If you join after week three, the plan starts with the next lesson problem. Earlier items are left out.

Urgent problem sets cost more, since every computation must still be checked. Ordering in week one avoids that.

Every item arrives as an editable file. You can add your own notes before submitting.

Forum lines include both long replies. The essay is the smallest line on the quote.

Each forum line includes both of the 450-word replies. Booking all five problem sets together lowers each line.
