A shareholder of an S corporation holds a note receivable from the corporation of $200,000. The other shareholders of the corporation plan to purchase this note from him for $125,000 in cash (in equal shares).

How will the future redemption of the note by the corporation be taxed at the individual level?

I am thinking that each shareholder will recognize their share of the $75,000 gain as a capital gain. Does anyone have a cite to back me up on this?
