UCLA Extension is considered one of the top programs of its kind, offering to more than 35,000 students per year approximately 4,500 classes and non-degree certificate programs to meet the professional development, continuing education, and personal enrichment needs of the full spectrum of nontraditional students as well as companies and organizations throughout and beyond the Los Angeles region.

This course is designed for attorneys, taxation professionals, and others actively working in the real estate industry who are interested in taxation issues associated with real estate transactions. The course builds on the basic tax principles learned in MGMT X 127 Federal Income Taxation and extends those principles to their application in the sale or other transfer of property. Students are provided with a detailed analysis of the federal income tax consequences resulting from sales, exchanges and other dispositions of property, including such topics as determining the taxable event;

ascertaining basis and amount realized; ascertaining gain or loss; limitations regarding the use of losses, including the at-risk and passive activity loss provisions; the importance of the distinction between capital and ordinary loss treatment; and the applicability of various non-recognition provisions, including like-kind exchanges and involuntary conversions.

Instructors teach students to understand the fundamentals, technical aspects, and concepts of the subject matter. More importantly they prepare students to utilize this understanding practically in the workforce. In addition to teaching proficiency in technical matters, instructors utilize case studies and real-life examples wherever possible to help students take their understanding from the pages of the textbook into the work of the real world.

To accomplish this, instructors foster a collaborative, inclusive learning environment developed to support the success of all UCLA Extension students coming from a wide range of educational, personal, and professional backgrounds.
