Let think this way:

For SCH C, SCH E (Rental activities only) & F, If you put
any money (Personally liable) into the business, you will
increase your at-basis amount.

For separate business entities, there are different
treatments.

C-corp, S-corp. If you put any personally liable loan
(Recourse Loan) into the business, it treated as your
shareholder contribution, sure your basis will
increase, so does the at-risk amount.

If the corp. itself incurred debt (Corp. liable), it is
not increase your basis at all. (Which is apply to your
example.)

Partnership is a little bit different. Since your share
of partnership's liabilities will increase your basis.
Even the partnership incurred the debt, your basis will
increase by prorated amount.

Basis and At-risk amount are two different items.


:) Please do correct me if I missed anything.



1) yes, it will increase your basis
2) Yes.
3) Since it is business credit card, your are not
personally
liable. No impact on your basis.

Getting back to your original question where you asked "how much will be reported on the single shareholder's K-1", I think this could be a little bit of a trick question.  The reason I say that is because the correct answer is $7,000 will be reported as a loss on the shareholder's K-1.  If the original question was (using the original fact pattern):  How much of the S-Corporation loss would be deductible on the shareholder's individual tax return, then the answer would be $1,000.  The reason for this is that any basis / at-risk limitations that apply will be applied at the individual shareholder level, not at the S-Corporation level.  The S-Corporation will ALWAYS pass through the full loss on Schedule K-1 even if that loss will ultimately be suspended on the shareholder's individual tax return.  Hopefully this doesn't confuse you, I just wanted to make this point.

Wow awesome Chris40589.  Thanks a BUNCH!!

Do you know the source of this Q?
Reason: I got it from an old post in the cpanet forum and no one had given the right answer there. Was just wondering whether it is an old AICPA released Q...

Thanks again.

Arushi 13,

I would definitely memorize
1) Sec 179 amounts
2) unified credit/estate & gift deduction amounts
3) personal exemption
4) Adjustment amounts
5) Mom & Pop Exception Phaseout
6) Regular IRA amounts/phaseout
7) Credit Amounts

For the other AGI phaseouts I would just know the top range (i.e. what
amount complete eliminates the credit/adjustment).

Once you go through the credit amounts like 3-4 times it becomes easy
to get down. I would just reviewed it every night for a could of days until
I had it down. Mostly you'll just want to know which credits are
refundable/non-refundable. Make sure you research the changes to the
Hope/Lifetime Learning credit because as far as I remember those credits
faced some big changes for 2009. Good Luck with your exam.


Please can you elaborate when you say 4)adjustment amounts what does it mean?

Thanks a lot.
