Suppose that at the beginning of 2019 Jamaal's basis in his S corporation stock was $27,000 and Jamaal has directly loaned the S corporation $10,000. During 2019, the S corporation reported an $80,000 ordinary business loss and no separately stated items. After any loss deductions this year, what is Jamaal's stock and debt basis at the end of the year if Jamaal is a 50 percent shareholder of the S corporation

Respuesta :

Answer:

$37,000

Explanation:

Given that,

stock basis = $ 27,000

Debt basis = Loan taken from corporation

                  = $ 10,000

Therefore, after any loss deductions this year,

Jamaal's stock and debt basis at the end of the year if Jamaal is a 50% shareholder of the S corporation:

= stock basis + Debt basis

= $27,000 + $10,000

= $37,000
