What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? California
Tax question
There are two 50% owners in an S Corporation. One owner sues the other in a derivative action on behalf of the S Corp. As settlement, one of the owners relinquishes his share in the S Corp. to the other resulting in one owner owning 100 of the S Corp. In addition, the relinquishing owner pays the S Corp $10,000 to settle the suit. How is this accounted for? Are there tax implications and/or reporting requirements for these 2 transactions?
Thank you!!!
