To answer your series of questions on the S Corporations; 1. Can I deduct loans made to s corp on my personal tax return?
You generally cannot deduct loans made to an S Corporation on your personal tax returns. But, if the corporation has been dissolved, and the loans cannot be repaid, these loans can be treated as bad debts on your personal tax return with the limitation for capital loss deductions applied (ie maximum of $3,000 per year).
2. If not, can loans be reclassified as additional paid in capital and claimed as a loss?
No need to do this as you can deduct the loans unpaid as bad debt as explained on point 1. 3. What are tax implications for assets purchased in the last 7 years?
As such, there is nothing that you can do here other, I am assuming the computer is not worth anything and you have fully depreciated this asset. Now, if the corporation sells assets with a Zero basis, any amounts received would be subject to capital gains and would be reported on the K-1 to you the individual shareholder. |
