Question
How is the tax liability determined for a taxpayer who no longer owns an interest in a Sub S corp at the end of the year.
Thank you
Bill,
You should be receiving a final K-1 from the S-Corporation reflecting any pass through income, losses and deductions during your period of ownership for the year. You will also need to report the disposition of the stock on Schedule D. Schedule D is used to report gains and losses from stock sales. It is important to know what your cost basis is in the stock. Basis calculations for S-corporation stock is different than basis held in regular corporations.
If you have any other questions, please feel free to e-mail me directly.
