Answer #1

1) This is not a taxable exchange under IRC 351. No gain or loss shall be recognized if property is transferred to a corporation by one or more persons solely in exchange for stock in such corporation and immediately after the exchange such person or persons are in control of the corporation.

2) No tax implication to Jill. No tax implication to John. Paul contributes services and so $55000 will be treated as business income.

3) The basis of the stock to Jil, John and Paul will be $500000, $200000, $55000.

4) The basis of the building will be $500000.
