| Almanacers,
I am working with an S corp. They had zero basis in the beginning of 2008. During 2008, they had 20k in credit card expenses that were tied to the company as a loan. This created 20k in basis; however, the S corp gave a 35k loan to the shareholder. I am assuming there is still no basis here for 2008 since the loan of 35k exceeded the 20k loan from shareholder netting to 15k. When a loan is given to a shareholder, does this lower a shareholder's basis? Please advise. | |
