How shall distribution to big jim be treated in tax return


Assignment Task:

GBC was owned 100% by Jim Beeeeezosss (aka Big Jim).

GBC paid a $3 million distribution on 12.31.2020 to Big Jim!

Big Jim's basis in GBC stock was $100,000 (pursuant to sec 351, he transferred assets with a 100,000 basis to GBC in exchange for stock when it was formed).

We learn GBC has shown a loss since inception 3 years ago - so 2020 was a good year!

2019 and 2018 both show no taxable income as the 2017 excess loss was carried forward, just like in 2020.

1. How shall this 3 million distribution to Big Jim be treated in Big Jim's tax return?

2. Is it a dividend or something else?

3. If something else, what is it?
