1.26 Ark. Code R. 51-102(5)

Current through Register Vol. 49, No. 9, September, 2024
Rule 1.26-51-102(5) - Corporate Characteristics

Whether an organization (including an unincorporated entity like a partnership, LLC, or trust) will be taxed as a corporation depends on how many of these corporate characteristics it has:

* associates,

* an objective to carry on a business and divide the gain from it,

* continuity of life,

* centralized management,

* liability limited to the organization's assets, and

* free transferability of interests. IRC Reg. 301.7701-2(a)(1)

If an entity has more corporate than noncorporate characteristics, it is treated as a corporation (association taxable as a corporation). IRC Reg. 301.7701-2(a)(3)
