LSN, a calendar year S corporation, has 13 shareholders. Since its incorporation, LSN has retained more than $800,000 income to reinvest in its business. Because LSN is a pass through entity, the shareholders have paid tax on this undistributed income and increased their stock basis accordingly. The shareholders want to revoke the S election and operate LSN as a regular corporation. LSN has only $69,000 in its corporate bank account.
