Have an S Corp that previously had a lot in C corp earnings. They have sold everything, we've dealt with BIG tax, FMV of assets distributed as sold etc. All assets are gone but cash.
They distributed more in cash & remaining assets than they had in the AAA account so I believe I have to report C corp dividends for the difference.
1. AAA at sale date is $700,000 but they distributed $900,000 in cash and FMV of assets they kept. There is about $600,000 in C Corp Accumulated E & P. I believe that the $200,000 difference between the AAA and 2019 actual distribution amount has to go against that C E & P and is reported on a 1099-Div. For the dividend portion on the distribution of the C corp earnings would that be box 1 & 2?
2. If we can keep the corporation open into the next year to pay final bills I was going to distribute out the remaining C corp earnings in 2020. Does this also have to be reported as a 1099-Div in box 1 & 2 or as a box 9 Cash liquidation distribution?
