Question: PLEASE ANSWER THROUGH THE SHAREHOLDER PERSPECTIVE ( NOT CORPORATION) A corporation distributed land with a basis of $20,000 and a fair market value of $60,000

PLEASE ANSWER THROUGH THE SHAREHOLDER PERSPECTIVE ( NOT CORPORATION)

A corporation distributed land with a basis of $20,000 and a fair market value of $60,000 but was subject to a non-recourse liability of $70,000 to its sole shareholder. What would be the basis of the SHAREHOLDER in land ( NOT CORPRATION PLEASE- I understand the gain of $50k ) ? I'm trying to understand the shareholder's view receiving the land and their tax consequence. Do they record any income for receiving the property/ how does the liability affect it? Thanks.
