As per section 351, when cash and/or any property is transferred to C Corp. and these contributed capital by one or more of the shareholder constitues 80% or more control in the C corp. then such contributions made by shareholder will not be taxable.
As per sec 351,
Shareholder basis for stock= carryover basis of the shareholder - mortgage debt (if any)
Corporation's basis for property = Carryover basis of the shareholder
But exception to section 351 will be considered here as mortgage debt exceeds shareholder's adjusted basis in the property.
Also, corporate's basis for property = Carryover basis + gain recognized
Here, gain will be recognized on excess liability so that shareholder's adjusted basis is $0,
Hence, Tom's basis for stock = $300,000 - $400,000 +$100,000
MT corp's basis in the property = $300,000 + $100,000 = $400,000
For any clarification, please comment. Kindly Up Vote!
