Can anyone help me out here because I am second guessing myself:

S-Corp shareholder took a distribution in excess of AAA. Here are the details:

Ordinary Income from S-Corp was $ 3,500 S-Corp is partner in several LLC's. Rental RE Income from LLC k-1's 5,000 Section 1231 gain from LLC's k-1's 14,000 Unrecaptured Section 1250 gain from LLC's k-1's 7,000 S-Corp Non-Deductible Expenses (50% M & E, etc.) 1,000 Distribution taken by shareholder 80,000

So to figure out the amount of the distribution that is taxable as a capital gain, would I take:

Ordinary Income from S-Corp was $ 3,500 S-Corp is partner in several LLC's. Rental RE Income from LLC k-1's 5,000 Section 1231 gain from LLC's k-1's 14,000 Unrecaptured Section 1250 gain from LLC's k-1's 7,000 S-Corp Non-Deductible Expenses (50% M & E, etc.) (1,000) Total $28,500

Less Distribution $(80,000)

                                                                      $51,500

Would the $51,500 be the capital gain or do I leave out the Unrecaptured Section 1250 gain of $7,000 from the equation above?

I appreciate any help on this! Return has obviously been extended, but need to get it out ASAP

S Corp distributions in excess of the shareholders basis in the S Corp (AAA does not often equal basis) are taxable as a capital gain. Basis includes original capitalization by the shareholder + share of income - share of losses through out the years + any direct shareholder loans made to the S Corp. If there are direct SH loans to the S Corp, treat the distribution as first a repayment of the loan, then as a distribution.
