Overview
In the fourth webinar session, participants review the fundamental purpose of personal income tax returns. They examine the information content and cash or non cash amounts reported on Schedules A, B, C, D, E and appropriate Schedules K-1. They identify the relationship between business income tax returns and personal income tax revenue and expenses for owners and partners of pass-through entities. Further, participants conduct a step-by-step manual construction of a personal cash flow statement using information from the personal financial statement, the personal income tax returns, and accrual financial statements for the borrower. As the final step in the webinar, they assess whether a personal cash flow surplus or a guarantor's liquid personal assets is the best estimate of guarantor cash support in a business crisis.
