Nov 21, 2017 You can make de minimis loans of $10,000 or less to shareholders without the payment of interest. But, if all of the loans from the business to a shareholder add up to more than $10,000, the advances may be subject to a complicated set of below-market interest rules unless you charge what the IRS considers an “adequate” rate of interest. C corporation shareholders (and the IRS) receive Form 1099-DIV, which is issued by the C corporation to report the dividend. C corporation shareholders report the dividend on their individual income tax return. On the other hand, with certain exceptions, S corporations generally do not make dividend distributions. If the IRS re-characterizes a purported loan from a shareholder to be a capital contribution, the following occurs: The Corporation loses its interest deduction-reclassified as a dividend distribution Principal payments thought to be tax-free to a shareholder become taxable dividend income, provided sufficient earnings and profits exist. Loans from Shareholders The income tax effect of imputing interest on loans from shareholders may not appear to be as detrimental as that resulting from loans to shareholders (which can result in taxable income at the corporate and shareholder level with no offsetting deductions).By Harriet Jacobs, CPA, CVA, ABV, MST
A practitioner should take special care in advising clients on shareholder loans to an S corporation. Repayment of the loans by the corporation has the potential to generate unexpected taxable income to the shareholder.
First, a quick review of the mechanics of S corporation loans. An S corporation shareholder in a closely held corporation might make loans to the company to improve liquidity and to provide working capital. Plots in excel userform. The face amount of the loan becomes the shareholder’s initial basis in the loan. The S corporation might also pass through losses to its owners, which can be deducted by the shareholders to the extent of their adjusted stock and loan basis (Sec. 1366(d)).
If a passthrough loss exceeds a shareholder’s stock basis, the excess loss then reduces the shareholder’s loan basis, but not below zero (Regs. Sec. 1.1367- 2(b)(1)). When the corporation passes through net income in a subsequent year, the loan basis is increased first, but only to the extent of the indebtedness at the beginning of that tax year. Any excess net income is next used to increase the shareholder’s stock basis (Regs. Sec. 1.1367-2(c)(1)).
Special rules apply in cases of multiple indebtedness—i.e., if a shareholder has multiple loans to the corporation that are each evidenced by separate notes. This item will deal only with single loans, with or without written notes. If there is no note, the loan is considered open account debt, which is defined in Regs. Sec. 1.1367-2(a) as ’shareholder advances not evidenced by separate written instruments and repayments on the advances.’
Full or partial cash repayment of the debt by the corporation reduces the shareholder’s loan basis. (Repayment with property other than cash is beyond the scope of this item.) If the debt basis has previously been reduced to zero, all the subsequent repayment is treated as taxable income to the shareholder. In the case of a reduced loan basis, each repayment is allocated between return of basis and income (Rev. Rul. 68-537).
The character of the income is determined by whether or not the loan is evidenced by a written note. Generally, repayment of a loan is not considered to be the sale or exchange of a capital asset, and thus produces ordinary income. However, if the loan is evidenced by a written note, income from the repayment is capital gain, because the note itself is considered a capital asset in the shareholder’s hands (Rev. Rul. 64-162). The usual rules apply in determining whether the capital gain is long term or short term. Example: P Corp. requires a large infusion of cash to pay bonuses and other expenses at the end of year 1. The shareholder intends to have P borrow the money from outside sources but is too busy to complete the loan process during the last few days of December. In order to make life easier, the shareholder advances the money personally, expecting P to finalize the outside loan and repay the shareholder advance within a few days. There is no note, so the loan is open account debt. The outside loan is finalized on the first business day of year 2, and P repays the shareholder advance.As noted above, the shareholder’s loan basis would be increased for income passed through at the end of year 2, to the extent of the loan balance at the beginning of year 2. Unfortunately, year 2 shows a loss in excess of the combined stock basis and loan basis. Therefore, the loan basis is reduced to zero at the end of year 2, and the entire loan repayment is income to the shareholder. Because the loan is open account debt, the income is ordinary—not a good result.
Practitioners can help clients achieve better results. First, consider advising clients to set up notes for their open account debt so that any subsequent repayment income would be capital gain, rather than ordinary. Second, discuss the circumstances of repayment with clients. If P had waited to repay the shareholder debt until a year with net income, some or all of the loan basis would have been restored, and there would have been that much less income to recognize. In the alternative, the shareholder could have taken out a personal loan (separate from the business) to avoid repayment from P in a loss year.
In addition, practitioners need to be aware of a potential change in the definition of open account debt. The IRS has issued proposed regulations (REG-144859- 04) that would modify the use of open account debt if it exceeds $10,000 during the tax year. If made final, these new rules would further complicate the computation of loan basis and repayment income. (For more on these proposed regulations, see Sobochan, ’Open Account Debt for S Shareholders,’ Tax Clinic, 38 The Tax Adviser 451 (August 2007).)Conclusion Clients do not always make their tax adviser aware of shareholder loan advances and repayments until after they have taken place. Clients should be frequently reminded to consult with their adviser prior to taking either action so that the adviser can help protect them from adverse tax affects.

Loans from shareholders S corp must follow all rules and regulations to be legal. A financial advisor or CPA should use caution when advising their clients on loans provided by shareholders to S corporations. How Do Loans From Shareholders Work?Irs Loans From Shareholders Pay
One of the reasons this practice can cause issues is the fact that repayment of the loan could generate taxable income that the shareholder wasn’t expecting. A shareholder in a private corporation could choose to provide a loan to the business to generate more working capital and improve the liquidity of the corporation. The shareholder’s initial basis is the face value of the loan provided.
An S corporation can pass business losses through the business to its shareholders, which they can then deduct based on the adjusted loan and stock basis. If a loss is passed through to the shareholder exceeds their basis of stock, any amount in excess will reduce the loan basis. However, this number cannot drop below zero. When net income is passed through to the shareholder during a later year, the first increase should occur on the loan basis. However, the amount of increase shouldn’t exceed the amount the shareholder was in debt when the tax year started.
After increasing the loan basis, the next step is using extra net income to increase the stock basis of that shareholder. If a shareholder has given more than one loan to the corporation, with evidence of separate notes, or other cases of multiple indebtedness apply, different rules would be applied to the situation. Single loans, with or without notes that provide evidence of the loans, are less complex.Open Account DebtIrs Loans From Shareholders Equity
If the shareholder doesn’t provide a note, the loan is then classified as open account debt. A definition of this type of debt is found in Regs. Sec. 1.1367-2(a). The definition states that any advances given by shareholders to the corporation are open account debts if there is no evidence of repayment or written instruments. If the corporation repays the debt partially or in full, the loan basis of that shareholder would be reduced. However, that only applies to cash payments. Repaying a loan with anything aside from cash does not reduce the loan basis in a narrow scope.
In the case that the shareholder’s debt basis has already been reduced down to nothing, all repayments are handled as taxable income. According to Rev. Rul. 68-537, all repayments are allocated between the returns of income and basis in the case of a reduced loan basis. The income’s character is determined by the presence of a written note, which gives evidence of the loan.
V slot 2021. Typically, repaying the loan to the shareholder isn’t considered to be the exchange or sale of a capital asset, so the income it produces is considered to be ordinary. The exception is if the loan has a written note as evidence. In this case, any income generated by the repayment is classified as a capital gain because the notice becomes a capital asset of the shareholder. This rule is outlined in Rev. Rul. 64-162. Standard rules apply to determine whether capital gains are short-term or long-term.
For example, a business called Jones’ Corporation needs $20,000 to pay employee bonuses and other important expenses at the end of its first year of operation. One of the shareholders intended for the corporation to borrow money from a bank but was unable to complete the process of obtaining funds before the year ended.
This shareholder chooses to provide a loan to the corporation with the expectation that Jones’ Corporation will apply for and finalize a loan from a bank and use the funds to repay the loan within a week. Since this loan has no note, it would be considered open account debt. On January 4, the first business day of the second year of operation, Jones’ Corporation receives its loan from a bank and repays the loan given by the shareholder.

This shareholder’s loan basis would increase to the extent of the loan balance at the end of year two for the income that passed through the business. The extent of the loan balance would be applicable at the start of the second year.
