Key Terms

section 897, section 1250, section 199A, section 1061, +3 more

7 terms

section 897 regulatory

"Section 897 (4) Ordinary Dividends (Box 2e) ... Section 897 (4) Capital Gains"

Section 897 is a U.S. tax rule that treats the sale or transfer of U.S. real estate interests by non-U.S. persons as taxable in the United States, so a foreign owner can’t avoid U.S. tax simply by being based abroad. For investors, it matters because it can create a tax bill or withholding requirement when foreign parties buy, sell, or receive certain interests in U.S. property, which can change transaction proceeds and deal structure much like a built-in closing cost.

section 1250 regulatory

"Unrecaptured Section 1250 (3) (Box 2b)"

Section 1250 is a U.S. tax rule that governs how profit from selling depreciable real estate (like buildings) is taxed when prior tax deductions for wear-and-tear have reduced the property’s tax basis. For investors, it matters because part of the sale gain tied to those earlier depreciation deductions can be taxed at higher ordinary-income-related rates (capped at 25%) rather than the lower long-term capital gains rate, increasing the tax bill—think of it as paying back some of the benefit you previously received for “wearing down” the asset.

section 199A regulatory

"Section 199A (1) Dividends (Box 5)"

Section 199A is a U.S. tax-code provision that lets owners of pass-through businesses (where profits are reported on personal tax returns) claim a deduction of up to about 20% of certain business income, subject to limits based on wages paid and company assets. For investors, it matters because it changes the after-tax cash flow and reported income of many privately held and small public firms — think of it as a tax discount that can make a company’s earnings look stronger and alter valuation and dividend expectations.

section 1061 regulatory

"For purposes of Section 1061 and Treasury Regulation §1.1061-6(c)"

Section 1061 is a U.S. tax rule that changes how certain profit shares earned by investment managers—commonly called carried interest—are taxed: if the partnership interest is held less than three years, gains from that interest are treated like ordinary income rather than lower-taxed long-term capital gains. For investors this matters because it can reduce the after-tax returns of funds and influence manager behavior—think of it like a minimum holding period you must meet to qualify for a better tax rate.

united states real property interests regulatory

"composition of gains from the disposition of " United States real property interests""

United States real property interests are ownership rights or claims tied to land and buildings located in the U.S., including direct title to property and certain related rights such as mortgages, long-term leases, purchase options, or ownership stakes in entities that primarily hold U.S. real estate. Investors care because these interests carry specific tax and transfer rules, affect liquidity and risk (think owning a house versus owning a stock), and can change how a sale or income from the asset is reported and taxed.

applicable partnership interests financial

"pertains to shares held through "applicable partnership interests" subject to Section 1061."

Applicable partnership interests are the specific ownership stakes in a partnership that are subject to a particular contract, transaction or regulatory rule; they represent the portions of profit, loss, cash flow and decision rights tied to those shares. Investors care because which interests are labeled “applicable” determines who receives distributions, bears liabilities and votes on key matters—like which slices of a pie are being sold or re‑allocated—so it directly affects value, control and expected returns.

return of capital financial

"Return of capital represents a return of stockholder investment."

Return of capital is when an investor receives money from their investment that is not considered profit or earnings but rather a portion of the original amount they invested. It’s similar to getting back part of your initial savings rather than gains from it. This matters because it can affect how much money an investor still has in the investment and may have tax implications.
