| A S-Corp is going to distribute a car to its sole shareholder. Adjusted basis for the vehicle is 15k, FMV is around 5k. I know the S-Corp won't be able to take the loss on the deemed sale because it is a related party. However, in order to transfer title/registration, the DMV requires the payment of sales tax. This obviously isn't a gift so I'm guessing some amount of sales tax should be paid. What should the sales price be? the FMV?
