I dont understand how an S-corp would have double taxation if drawing over basis. The Scorp is a flow through so all profit is taxed regardless. If my basis is 10k (I invest 10k in business) and the scorp profits 100k, and I take out 110k, im still being taxed on 100k profit.
Thanks for the awesome video. If I have a S corp and have profit, Can the single shareowner take loan out of S corp and pay the S corp with reasonable interest each year? By doing that, the shareowner does not need to pay tax on those profit sitting in S corp.
What should you do and how do you complete IRS Form 7203 if you have negative Retained Earnings of $ 70,000+ and it's all from cumulative operating losses over a number of years and none of it was distributions to shareholder and there is only 1 S-corp shareholder? If those losses were written off as they occurred and not suspended does that mean that $ 70,000+ now needs to be recognized as a long-term capital gain or something?
On the 1120-s Schedule M-2, are Line 2 (balance at beginning of tax year) and Line 8 (balance at the end of tax year) the company basis at the beginning and end year? In other words, the company balance is the same as the basis? And if there are multiple shareholders, then their basis is whatever percentage they own from the company balance/basis?
SM-LLC S-Corp 1. Are owners draw / distributions (outside payroll) taxable as ordinary income or capital gains? 2. Does the 40k profit outside of salary taxation differ if its retained in the S-corp vs it being distributed to me? Example: I contribute 10k to S-corp. S-corps net income for year is 100k. I am paid a 60k salary. How is the 40k profit treated?
Here’s my understanding: 1. Only taxable as capital gains if it exceeds shareholder basis. 2. You will pay income tax on the total $100k, whether you leave it in RE or not, but the $40k won’t be subject to FICA--which is one of the main reasons to form an S-Corp)
I purchased a hair salon in 2019 and entity was setup as SCorp. Since 2019 is the first year I purchased this business, would the beginning basis be 0$ for the first K1 on my personal tax return?
