JH, Inc., is a calendar year, accrual basis corporation with Joe as its sole shareholder (basis in his stock is $90,000). On January 1 of the current year, JH Corporation has accumulated E & P of $200,000. Before considering the effect of the distribution described below, the corporation’s current E & P is $50,000. On November 1, JH distributes an office building to Joe. The office building has an adjusted basis of $80,000 (fair market value of $100,000) and is subject to a mortgage of $110,000. Assume that the building has been depreciated using the ADS method for both income tax and E & P purposes. What are the tax consequences of the distribution to JH and to Joe? (In your answer, be sure to describe the effects on taxable income for both JH and Joe, the impact of the distribution on JH’s E & P, and Joe’s basis in the building.)
Joe is the sole shareholder of JH Corporation. Joe sold his stock to Ethan on October 31 for $150,000. Joe’s basis in JH stock was $50,000 at the start of the year.
