Introduction
Tax effect of S election Subchapter S taxes
» BIG/PII» Recapture
Shareholder taxes: Pass Throughs: » Separately stated» Not separately stated

Tax Effect of S Election on S
Information return No federal income taxes paid, except
» BIG» PII» Recapture: LIFO reserve; ITC
4
Tax Effect of S Election on Shareholders
Introduction Separately stated items Nonseparately stated items
6
S Corp v. partnerships
Similar in income computation: » Separately and non-separately stated items.
However,» S measures property distributions at FMV
– Partnerships distributions measured at AB
» S debt does not affect shareholders’ AB. – Partnership’s debt affects partners’ AB
» Disproportional distributions permitted in partnerships
– But could cause the S termination b/c creates second class of stock
7
S Corp v. C Corp
Unless otherwise stated follow Sub C rules » Like C Corps, S Corps
– allowed IRC 248 org. exp. Amortization– Recognize gain on distributions of appreciated property
However, while gain is passed through but shareholder does not report it as dividend.
» But unlike C Corps, – S Corps are not allowed to an IRC 243 or IRC 291
deductions – S Corps separately report items that may have different
treatments at shareholder level.
8
Separately Stated Items
charitable contributions (no 10% limit) foreign/possessions taxes
» Shareholder to elect deduction or credit tax exempt income
» Passes through as increases to AB income/loss/deduction/credit requiring separate
treatment» Capital gains & losses» IRC 1231 gains & losses» Interest and dividends received by an S, e.g., portfolio
income
10
Non-separately Stated Items
Gross income less deductions Deductions: IRC 248, 291, depreciation
(not 179). Disallowed deductions: sep. stated;
personal;
11
Computation of shareholders’ share
Pro rata: daily/per share Daily: Yearly income(loss) / days in
taxable year Per share: Daily income(loss) / # shares
outstanding
12
Example 1: Pro rata
A and B equal owners of S » w/ O.I. of $146,000 » and LTCG of $36,500.
How much do A and B report?
14
Example 2:Pro rata
Now B sells 50% on 90th day.» B owned 50% for 89 days and 25% for 276
days » C owned 25% for 276 days
How much do B and C report?
15
Answer to Example 2: Ordinary Income:
B: $146K(.5)(89/365) + $146K(.25)(276/365) = $45,400
C: $146K(.25)(276/365) = $27,600
16
Answer to Example 2: LTCG
B: $36500(.5)(89/365) + $36500(.25)(276/365)=$11350
C:$36500(.25)(276/365) = $6900
17
Example 3: pro rata
A owns 10% through the year; nonseparately stated = $36500
How much does he report?
18
Answer to Example 3:
.10(36500) = $3650 Or:
» Daily: $36500/365= $100/day» Prorata:$100(.10)=$10/day» Yearly share: $10/day(365)=$3650
19
Example 4: prorata
Same as 3 but now A buys another 10% on the 201st day:
How much does he report?
20
Answer to Example 4:
10% for 200 days:$100/day(.10)(200)=$2000
20% for 165 days:$100/day(.20)(165)=$3300
21
Effect of cessation of ownership:
If no election: compute as above If election: compute as if two years Why relevant?
22
Relevancy of no election:
If income is NOT earned evenly throughout year, shareholders will not report their fair share
Similar election available when S terminates.
23
Distributions: irc 1368
An extension of the IRC 301 water faucet analogy in Subchapter C.
But 4 buckets or tiers instead of 3 buckets» Tier 1: From AAA: Tax free
– Simultaneously reduce AAA and AB
– Recognize gain after AB.
» Tier 2: In excess of AAA: dividend up to AEP» Tier 3: Remainder of AB tax free» Tier 4: Balance in excess of AB = gain
24
Therefore,
an S distribution has no impact on shareholders’ TI unless » After elimination of AAA, distribution is
sourced from EP» Distribution > Adjusted Basis
25
AAA: Accumulated Adjustments Account
Rationale: Tracks the source of distributions
Two sources of distributions» Undistributed and untaxed C’s EP = AEP» Undistributed but taxed S’s operations =
post-1982 undistributed earnings
26
AAA: Adjustments
Beginning balance on day 1 of S = 0» AAA = 0» AEP = $500 (leftover from C years)
Increase AAA by results of operations» If S has $100 earnings, then
– AAA= $100– AEP = $500
27
AAA adjustments:
Increase AAA» Results of operations
Reduce AAA by» Pass through losses/deductions» Nondeductible expenses, not charged to
capital account
28
Examples of nonded exp/not charged to cap.
expenses for tax free income illegal bribes, nondeductible fines &
penalties losses between related parties federal taxes during C years disallowed meal and entertainment
expenses
29
Treatment
Redemptions, distributions and operating results» Sub S corporations with C’s EP.» Sub S corporations (never were C
corporations)
31
AAA Adjustments: Redemption
25% stock redemption; AAA = $160 Adjust AAA by 25%: $160 - .25(160) =
$120
32
AAA adjustments: Distributions
Timing Issue: » Which should be accounted for first?
– Results of operations?– Results of distributions?
33
General rule:
(1) Adjust S Corp’s balances (AAA, EP, AB) by the results of operations
(2) Adjust S Corp’s balances to account for the distribution.
34
Exception:
The order of adjustments is changed when there is an operating loss at EOY.» (1) Adjust for the distribution» (2) Adjust for the results of operations
35
Example 5: Operating Loss
Assume one owner EOY balance before adjustments for the
results of operations and distributions » AAA=400; » AEP=1000; » AB=2000;
EOY operating results:» LTCG=400; » Operating loss=(1800)
37
Recalling treatment for distributions:
Tier 1: From AAA: Tax free» Simultaneously reduce
– AAA and AB
» Recognize gain after AB. Tier 2: In excess of AAA: dividend up to
AEP Tier 3: Remainder of AB tax free Tier 4: Balance in excess of AB = gain
38
Example 6: Same facts as #5 but w/$1200 dist.
EOY balance before adjustments for the results of operations and distributions » AAA=400 (from past results of S operations); » AEP=1000 (from results when business was
conducted as a C Corp); » AB=2000;
EOY results:» LTCG=400; » Operating Loss=(1800)» Distribution during the year: $1200
39
Effect on Tier 1: AAA
AAA = 400 - 400 = 0 » Note that $800 of the $1200 distribution has not
been accounted for as of this time.
Simultaneous reduction of AB » EOY AB before adjustments = 2000 - 400 AAA
reduction = 1600 AB balance
Results after dealing with 1st tier: » AB balance = $1600» ROC = $400
40
The balance of the $1200, e.g., the $800:
Effect on Tier 2: In excess of AAA, div. up to AEP.» AEP=1000-800 = 200
Results after Tier 2: » AEP balance= $200» $800 dividend
41
Results of the $1200 distribution:
ROC = $400; Dividend = $800 Balances
» AEP balance = $200» AAA balance = 0» AB balance = $1600
42
After treatment of the $1200 distribution,
proceed to account for the results of operations,» $400 LTCG » $1800 ordinary loss
43
Example 7:
AAA = Beginning balance $400 - $400 (because of distribution) + $400 LTCG - $1800 ordinary loss = - $1400 AAA negative balance
AB = Beginning balance $2000 - $400 (b/c of distribution) + $400 LTCG - $1800 loss = $200 ending balance
44
Note:
Even if AB not enough to reflect loss, AAA will reflect it.
Distribution is greater than AB but the distribution is not taxable.
45
Distributions under the “general rule”
(1) Adjust for results of operations (2) Adjust for distributions.
47
Results from operations
Non-separately stated income and deductions» $30K
Separately stated income and deductions
» LTCG: 15
» Municipal interest: 5
» Dividend income: 3
» Charitable contribution: -8
49
Example 8:
First question» What is the effect of operations on the
following accounts?– AB; AAA; OAA; AEP
Second question» What will be the effect of two $50K
distributions, one in June 1 and the other one in December 1?
51
Example 9: AEP and no AAA
Facts: After accounting for the results from operations Sub S Corp has the following balances: AEP=$10; AAA=0; and AB=$25. What is the effect of $50 distribution?
Effect on Tiers:» Tier 1: AAA: None» Tier 2: Div up to AEP = $10» Tier 3: Reduce AB = $25» Tier 4: Balance above AB = gain = $15
52
Distributions where there is no AAA nor EP
Tier 1: AAA: None Tier 2: EP : None Tier 3: Reduce AB Tier 4: Balance above AB = gain from
s/e.
53
Example 10:
Facts: Results from operations: OI=30; LTCL=(5). Sole shareholder has AB=20 at BOY and receives $35 in distributions during the year.
54
First compute EOY AB and before distributions :
AB BOY 20 + 30 OI -5 LTCL = 45 AB before distributions
55
Second: Compute effect of distributions:
Tier 1: AAA: None Tier 2: EP : None Tier 3: Reduce AB: 45 - 35 distribution =
10 AB balance at EOY Tier 4: Balance above AB = gain from
s/e = $0
58
Second: Compute effect of distributions:
Tier 1: AAA: None Tier 2: EP : None Tier 3: Reduce AB: 25 - 25 distribution =
0 AB balance at EOY» Additional $10 has to be accounted as gain
Tier 4: Balance above AB = gain from s/e = $10
59
Example 12:
Facts: Same as 10 but now OI= (5), and no LTCL
First compute ending AB=20-5=15 Then 1st Tier: 15-15= 0 AB, 20 LTCG Is this correct?
60
NOT!
Operating loss (exception of general rule). » It requires a net negative adjustment
First: reduce BOY AB by dist of 35: 20-20=0 AB
Excess of dist. over AB= 15 LTCG gain; NOT 20.
61
AB Positive Adjustments: rationale
If earnings are up, stock value should be up.
If shdr sells, then substantial gain But as shdr pays for P/T, AB increases
to avoid double tax.
62
AB Negative Adjustments: rationale
If earnings are down, stock value should decrease.
If shdr sells,then substantial loss But b/c P/T losses reduce other income,
losses reduce AB to avoid a double benefit.
63
AB Adjustments done at EOY
NOTE: If shareholder sells during the year, gain/loss not determined until EOY.
64
Pecking Order for AB Adjustments
1. Increase for income items 2. Decrease for nondeductible,
noncapital expenses 3. Decrease for losses and deductions
(could precede 2) 4. Decrease for distributions
65
Example 13: AB adjustments:
Note: Previous examples involved a 100% shareholder
S reports $50 profit and distributes $20K to 50% shareholder who has $10 AB at BOY » AB BOY 10 + 25 (50% of profits) - 20
distribution = 15 AB EOY and after distributions
66
Example 14: AB Adjustments
Multiple years; equity and debt: » S reports 15K loss in Yr1 and 25K profit in
Yr2.» At BOY YR 1: Stock AB=5; Debt AB = 5K
(material participation) » S distributes $8K in Yr2 to 50%
shareholder Tax effect of distribution?
67
Answer to Example 15: Year 1
Yr1: $15K loss: Reduce shareholder’s AB by 50% of $15K» Decrease AB stock: BOY 5 - 5 = 0 EOY 1
(Stock AB cannot fall below 0) » Decrease AB of debt: BOY 5 - 2.5 (bal. not
used by stock AB) = 2.5 EOY Yr 1
68
Answer to Example 15: Year 2
Yr.2: $25K profit; Increase shareholder’s AB by 50% of $25K» Restore debt AB: BOY Yr 2: 2.5 + 2.5
(Debt AB cannot go over original AB) = 5K at EOY 2 and before distributions
» Restore stock AB: BOY Yr 2: $0 + $10K = $10 EOY Yr 2 AB before distributions
69
Answer to Example 15: Effect of $8K distribution
in Yr 2:
Stock AB EOY Yr 2 10 - 8 dist = 2 ending AB after dist.
As distribution did not exceed stock AB, it is a tax free distribution.
70
Example 16:
A, B, and C equal owners. A’s AB=25 OI=36.5; muni=14.6; A sells on 1/31 for
$30K Compute A’s gain/loss.
71
Answer Example 16:
AB= 25 + [36.5(1/3)(30/365)] + [14.6(1/3)(30/365)=26.4
Gain from sale of stock: 30 - 26.4 = $3.6
72
Debt Basis
Use stock AB first, then debt’s AB, not below 0.
Eligible “debt”: B/E fn 115, 116. Unused loss/deduction carried forward
indefinitely Upward adjustments in reverse
73
Example 17: Debt AB
1/1/00: 50% shdr, AB stock=40K, secured debt AB=20K
2000: S reports (100K). Thus ABs=0, ABd=10K
2001: S reports 10K. ABdebt=15K. S pays $20K note. Shdr reports $5K gain on
debt. Unsecured note would have resulted in $5K
OI.
74
ENPI: Example 18
ENPI = NPI [ (PII-.25 GR) / PII ] Nonpassive= 35K; PII=65K; exp for
PII=10K; other exp=25» NPI = 65-10 = 55
ENPI= 65-10 [(65-.25(35+65) / 65 = $33,486
$33486 at highest rate (assume 35%) = $11,486
75
Built-In Gains Tax
Recognizes any C’s BIG during 10 years after S election.
Taxes gain at highest rate, e.g., 35% If BIG imposed, it is treated as a loss for
the year. Character of loss: look at the asset
causing BIG
76
Definitions
NUBIG: Excess of FMV over AB on Day 1 of S
NRBIG: Lesser of net of BIG and BIL or TI Recognized BIG: gain from sale of any asset. Exceptions:
» Asset sold not held in Day1, or» if held on Day 1, actual gain exceeded NUBIG
77
Additional Limitations
NRBIG < NUBIG-NRBIG to date: top = NUBIG
