| HI everybody,
I have a client who will probably go to an S-corp this year. She is now a Sch C business. How is her basis figured? She had already invested her money in the business and is now making a good profit. Would it be her retained earnings figure? She does have a couple of loans which I realize will be taking into account when her basis is figured. I think I found a worksheet somewhere online that broke everything down.... Thanks! | |

| MsT,
Look to IRC 351 for the nuts and bolts of it...but basically the adjusted basis of assets (cash, F&F, machines) that she contributes to the S corp, less liabilities that she transfers to the S corp. Make sure you understand this process before advising your client.... Her prior retained earnings as a Sole Prop don't come into play. | |

| Assuming books are prepared on a tax basis, her ending equity will be her beginning basis in the S corp stock. | |
