Greiner, Inc., a calendar year S Corporation, holds no AEP. During the year, Chad, an individual Greiner shareholder, receives a cash distribution of $30,000 from the entity. Chad's basis in his stock is $25,000. Compute Chad's ordinary income and capital gain from the distribution. What is his stock basis after accounting for the payment?

The long term capital gain= $30000-$25000

The long term capital gain= $5000

The basis in stock will be zero after the distribution.

Explanation:

Step 1 of 3

Tax treatment of amount distributed to shareholders:

The amount received as distribution to a shareholder under S Corporation is equal to the cash and fair market value of property distributed. The distribution is considered as tax-free to the limit that it does not exceed shareholder’s basis in the company’s stock. Any amount received in excess of basis will be treated as capital gain.
