Overview:
Basis in an S-Corporation directly impacts items such as taxability (or not) of distributions, and deductibility (or not) of corporate losses on individual/personal tax returns. To make these declarations, shareholders must use Form 7203 on individual tax returns. Shareholders are required to file the Form 7203, in most situations, to report their basis in the corporation.
At its most basic level, basis is straightforward to calculate — but real-world situations quickly complicate the rules. This webinar will simplify the process by explaining what basis is, how it is calculated, how shareholder loans affect basis, and how to accurately complete Form 7203. In addition, we’ll cover the most important IRS and Treasury updates for 2025 so you can stay compliant and protect your clients or business.
