| What does bifurcate mean in the context of income? I see it in threads every once in a while and thought I'd seek enlightenment. I know it means to divide into two. But to/for what purpose? | |

| As examples: capital gains may be bifurcated between short- and long-term. An IRS agrument against a taxpayer in Tax Court may be bifurcated along two lines (of arguments). | |

| Another example is with regard to LLC's. The members may choose to have both limited shares and general shares... each is treated differently with regard to S.E. taxes. When one member has both, this is called bifurcation. | |
