Question An S Corp buys a foreclosed property in March for $100.000. In June it sells the property to a private individual for $150.000. Immediately after quitclaim deeds it back to the S Corp.
In other words the corporation uses the individual’s credit to refinance the property.
Is the corporation responsible for paying income tax for the $50.0000 it got from the bank by selling(refinancing) the property?
Answer In a vacuum, the answer is yes, the corporation pays the taxes on the gain at income tax rates. However. . .
You would be unsuccessful at quit claiming the property to the corporation. You forgot about the lender. who can, and would, refuse to allow the transfer. You will also find the lender has a clause in the mortgage that would require repayment of all the money immediately if the property is sold or transferred.
