#1;The classification of interest income as trade or business income or as portfolio income by an S cor has important implications to the entity's owners beyond the obvious increase in their taxable incomes. as said previously, it will be coded as interest income on your Sch K-1, and will thus be reported as interest income on your personal tax return on 1040; interest income generally is portfolio income, provided it is not derived in the ordinary course of a trade or business. It increase a shareholder’s basis, AAA/stock basis, in an S corp.
#2; as longas it is portfolio income, the interest income would be reported on line 4 of Sch K and K-1 (rather than on page 1 of Form 1120S) and on Sch L of 1120S.
