The moderators did an excellent job of introducing the topic and speakers and asking great questions. I really liked their attitudes and humor. FWIW, I appreciated the diversity of speakers in terms of age, gender, geography and race.

Target Allocations for the Rest of Us (Aug 2020)
Target Allocations are widely used to allocate partnership income and loss in a manner that causes the partners’ capital accounts to match, if possible, the amount the partners should receive if the partnership liquidated and distributed its assets to the partners. But there is no IRS guidance as to whether the use of Target Allocations is an acceptable partnership allocation method. Examine in non-technical terms why Target Allocations are used, how they work, and whether they should be an acceptable allocation method.
