Question: Assumptions for problems ( 1 ) through ( 1 0 ) : A owns half the common stock of X with an adjusted basis of

Assumptions for problems (1) through (10): A owns half the common stock of X with an adjusted basis of $40, and Y owns the other held of X common stock with an adjusted basis of $100. Xs current E&P from current year income and expenses/losses (before consideration of the events described in (1) through (10) below) is $94, and X has no accumulated E&P. X used the accrual method, all taxpayers are on the calendar year, and section 1059 does not apply. Assume that the corporate tax rate is 34%,[Hint: First derive an interim E&P based on the events described in each problem, but not including the downward for the distribution itself].
1. X distributes, in kind, its long-held AT&T stock with an adjusted basis of $40 and FMV of $100 to Y; X also distributes other long-held AT&T shares with an adjusted basis of $60 and FMV of $100 to A. What are the results of A, Y, and X? Alternative: The basis of the stock distributed to A is $120.
2. Suppose that each block of AT&T is the basic factor of (1) above was subject to $50 non-recourse liability or, alternatively, a $120 non-recourse liability.
3. X leases some rental property that it owns to T, and T agree to pay the annual rent of $60 directly to Xs shareholders, A and Y.
4. X sells an apartment building that it owns to A and Y jointly for $100. The property has a basis of $100 and a value of $200.
5. A is the sole shareholder of X, which advanced cash to A from time to time over a period of years upon an open account maintained on the corporate ledger as A/R shdr. The amount totals $100,000, including the interest at 6%, which the bookkeeper has accrued annually. No repayments have been made. Are there any tax consequences to A or X?
