Selling all shares of S-Corp

I own 16% of an S Corp. This is a passive activity.
I currently have a basis of $90,000 and losses of $50,000 that were accrued and carried forward the last few years. I have not been able to take these losses due to the passive activity loss limitations.
If I sell my shares for $5,000, how much of a loss can I take if any?
