Question:
- R Inc. is an S corporation with no E&P. It has three shareholders: J, D, and Q. The shareholders’ tax basis in their R shares is as follows:
Shareholder | Number of Shares | Tax Basis |
J | 3,200 | $150,000 |
D | 4,800 | 50,000 |
Q | 8,000 | 200,000 |
In the current year, R distributed $240,000 to the shareholders.
- a.Assume that the distribution was divided equally among the shareholders: $80,000 each. Would R qualify for classification as an S corporation? Explain.
- b.Assume instead that the distribution was divided proportionally among the shareholders, based on the number of shares each owns: $48,000 to J, $72,000 to D, and $120,000 to Q. How much income would each shareholder recognize in connection with the distribution, and what would be its character?
- c.In question b above, what would be each shareholder’s remaining basis in his or her R stock after receipt of the distribution?
- Assume that in addition to the amount invested in R, Inc. for shares of stock, D also loaned $100,000 to the company. If the principal balance of the loan at the date of the distributions had been $62,000, how would your answer in b above change?
