On September 30, Silver Corporation, a calendar year taxpayer, sold a parcel of land (basis of $400,000) for a $1 million note. The note is payable in five installments, with the first payment due next year. Because Silver did not elect out of the installment method, none of the $600,000 gain is taxed this year. Silver Corporation had a $300,000 deficit in accumulated E&P at the beginning of the year. Before considering the effect of the land sale, Silver had a deficit in current E&P of $50,000. Sam, the sole shareholder of Silver, has a basis of $200,000 in his stock. If silver distributes $900,000 to Sam on December 31,

    Sam must report $700,000 distribution from Silver on his Income report.

    Explanation:

    The sale of the land is made by the corporation and the corporation is a tax payer therefore any gains and losses are for the company to pay tax on.

    The deficits in the E&P are for Silver to take into account when about to pay taxes.

    The basis of $200,000 is not income but cost and subtracted on the distribution income as is for Sam.
