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. This legislation would make permanent the five-year recognition period for S corporation built-in gains that was generally in effect for taxable years from 2011 through 2014. The legislation also would apply to regulated investment companies and real estate investment trusts. The staff of the Joint Committee on Taxation (JCT) estimates that enacting H.R. 629 would reduce revenues, thus increasing federal deficits, by $1.5 billion over the 2015-2025 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. 629 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 Nathaniel Frentz. The estimate was approved by David Weiner, Assistant Director for Tax Analysis.
