H.R. 4453
Permanent S Corporation Built-in Gains Recognition Period Act of 2014
As ordered reported by the House Committee on Ways and Means on April 29, 2014
H.R. 4453 would amend the Internal Revenue Code to make permanent a five-year
recognition period for built-in gains of S corporations, retroactive to January 1, 2014.
Under current law, a corporation that meets certain requirements may elect to be taxed as
an S corporation, which generally pays no corporate-level tax, unlike a C corporation. For
corporations that convert from C corporations to S corporations, or S corporations that
receive assets under certain conditions from C corporations, there is a corporate-level tax
on certain built-in gains of certain assets, with a 10-year recognition period under current
law. This legislation makes permanent the five-year recognition period for S corporation
built-in gains that was generally in effect for taxable years from 2011 through 2013. The
legislation also applies to regulated investment companies and real estate investment
trusts.
The staff of the Joint Committee on Taxation (JCT) estimates that enacting H.R. 4453
would reduce revenues, thus increasing federal deficits, by $1.5 billion over the 2014-2024
period.
The Statutory Pay-As-You-Go Act of 2010 establishes budget-reporting and enforcement
procedures for legislation affecting direct spending and revenues. Enacting H.R. 4453
would result in revenue losses in each year beginning in 2015. The estimated increases in
the deficit are shown in the following table.
JCT has determined that the bill contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates
as defined in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act.
The CBO staff contact for this estimate is Logan Timmerhoff. The estimate was approved
by David Weiner, Assistant Director for Tax Analysis.
