S Corporations: Formation and Liquidation

James A. Fellows

Most tax practitioners understand the tax rules surrounding the operation of an S corporation. However, there are some interesting points that should be noted at the initial incorporation of an S corporation, and at the time of liquidation.

S Corporations: Formation and Liquidation reviews these issues, including:

  • Formation of the S Corporation
  • Carryover and substitution of basis
  • Receipt of boot and the recognition of gain
  • Liabilities, shareholder gain and the case of zero tax basis
  • Code Sec. 1244 issues at formation
  • Liquidation of the S Corporation
  • Liquidating distributions and related parties
  • Liquidation of notes payable to shareholders
