the S corp profit generated in 2013 is included in the S corp AAA acct in 2013 and is taxed on its 2013 1120S ,NOT 2014 1120S; An S corp is known as a "pass through" entity for federal income tax purposes because its shareholders/owners/EEs , NOT partners, are responsible for taxes associated with income, deductions and credits. The S corp doesn't pay any taxes on the income it produces. Shareholders are not usually taxed on distributions from an S corp.however, aslongas distribution in 2014> sh’s AAA/stock or loan basis in 2014, then it’d be taxed as capital gain taxed at 0~15% on its 2014 return/. Depending on sh’s tax bracket. So,Distributions are taxable capital gain income if they exceed the S corp basis of the receiving shareholder.
