Enrolled Agent Exam [Part 2] 35, Related-Party Transactions and §267

6/1/2026 • 3 min

This podcast is made by Ran Chen, who holds an EA license, Insurance and Securities licenses (Series 6, 63, 65), and the CFP® designation. He is passionate about opening access to high-quality exam preparation resources and helping learners prepare more effectively for professional certification exams. In this episode you will learn: - Losses on sales between related parties as defined under §267 are disallowed for the seller. - A related party buyer can use the seller's previously disallowed loss to offset a future gain on the sale of that same property. - An accrual-basis taxpayer must defer deducting an expense owed to a related cash-basis taxpayer until the recipient includes the amount in income. - Related parties include immediate family (spouses, ancestors, lineal descendants, siblings) and entities where a taxpayer has more than 50% direct or constructive ownership. - Constructive ownership rules attribute stock ownership from one family member to another, which can trigger the related-party transaction rules.
