Question

Kaiwan, Inc., a calendar year S corporation, is partly owned by Sharrod, whose beginning stock basis is $107,500. During the year, Sharrod's share of a Kaiwan long-term capital gain (LTCG) is $16,125, and his share of an ordinary loss is $65,038. Sharrod then receives a $64,500 cash distribA.) Sharrod's deductible loss.
B.) Sharrod's suspended loss.

C.) Sharrod's new basis in the Kaiwan stock.

Answer 1

Answer: a)$59,125 (loss)

b) $5,913 (loss)

c) $0

Explanation:

a. In calculating Sharrod's deductible loss, we can use the following formula,

= Beginning Stock + Long Term Capital Gain - Cash distribution

Calculated that would be,

= 107,500 + 16,125 - 64,500

= $59,125

Sharrod's deductible loss is $59,125

b. For Sharrod's suspended loss, the formula we will use is like in a but with an added subtraction.

= Beginning Stock + Long Term Capital Gain - Cash distribution - ordinary loss

= 107,500 + 16,125 - 64,500 - 65,038

= -$5,913

Sharrod's suspended loss is therefore $5,913

c) Sharrod's new basis is now therefore 0.
