Tax basis hurdle for deductibility


Problem: I am a 100% shareholder of Johnson Corp. (an S corporation). At the beginning of 2010, My basis in Johnson Corp. stock was $14,000. During 2010, I loaned $20,000 to Johnson Corp. and Johnson Corp. reported a $25,000 ordinary business loss and no separately stated items. In 2011, Johnson Corp. has reported $8,000 of ordinary business income.
