Statute
Sec. 1367. Adjustments to basis of stock of shareholders, etc.
(a) General rule
(1) Increases in basis
The basis of each shareholder's stock in an S corporation shall
be increased for any period by the sum of the following items
determined with respect to that shareholder for such period:
(A) the items of income described in subparagraph (A) of
section 1366(a)(1),
(B) any nonseparately computed income determined under
subparagraph (B) of section 1366(a)(1), and
(C) the excess of the deductions for depletion over the basis
of the property subject to depletion.
(2) Decreases in basis
The basis of each shareholder's stock in an S corporation shall
be decreased for any period (but not below zero) by the sum of
the following items determined with respect to the shareholder
for such period:
(A) distributions by the corporation which were not
includible in the income of the shareholder by reason of
section 1368,
(B) the items of loss and deduction described in subparagraph
(A) of section 1366(a)(1),
(C) any nonseparately computed loss determined under
subparagraph (B) of section 1366(a)(1),
(D) any expense of the corporation not deductible in
computing its taxable income and not properly chargeable to
capital account, and
(E) the amount of the shareholder's deduction for depletion
for any oil and gas property held by the S corporation to the
extent such deduction does not exceed the proportionate share
of the adjusted basis of such property allocated to such
shareholder under section 613A(c)(11)(B).
The decrease under subparagraph (B) by reason of a charitable
contribution (as defined in section 170(c)) of property shall be
the amount equal to the shareholder's pro rata share of the
adjusted basis of such property. The preceding sentence shall
not apply to contributions made in taxable years beginning after
December 31, 2007.
(b) Special rules
(1) Income items
An amount which is required to be included in the gross income
of a shareholder and shown on his return shall be taken into
account under subparagraph (A) or (B) of subsection (a)(1) only
to the extent such amount is included in the shareholder's gross
income on his return, increased or decreased by any adjustment of
such amount in a redetermination of the shareholder's tax
liability.
(2) Adjustments in basis of indebtedness
(A) Reduction of basis
If for any taxable year the amounts specified in
subparagraphs (B), (C), (D), and (E) of subsection (a)(2)
exceed the amount which reduces the shareholder's basis to
zero, such excess shall be applied to reduce (but not below
zero) the shareholder's basis in any indebtedness of the S
corporation to the shareholder.
(B) Restoration of basis
If for any taxable year beginning after December 31, 1982,
there is a reduction under subparagraph (A) in the
shareholder's basis in the indebtedness of an S corporation to
a shareholder, any net increase (after the application of
paragraphs (1) and (2) of subsection (a)) for any subsequent
taxable year shall be applied to restore such reduction in
basis before any of it may be used to increase the
shareholder's basis in the stock of the S corporation.
(3) Coordination with sections 165(g) and 166(d)
This section and section 1366 shall be applied before the
application of sections 165(g) and 166(d) to any taxable year of
the shareholder or the corporation in which the security or debt
becomes worthless.
(4) Adjustments in case of inherited stock
(A) In general
If any person acquires stock in an S corporation by reason of
the death of a decedent or by bequest, devise, or inheritance,
section 691 shall be applied with respect to any item of income
of the S corporation in the same manner as if the decedent had
held directly his pro rata share of such item.
(B) Adjustments to basis
The basis determined under section 1014 of any stock in an S
corporation shall be reduced by the portion of the value of the
stock which is attributable to items constituting income in
respect of the decedent.
