Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Stock Basis cannot be transferred.

If you have stock basis remaining after liquidating (shutting down) your S corporation, you have a recognized capital loss on that investment.  This is reported on form 8949 and Schedule D.

Not sure that you have tracked your stock basis correctly; just a thought.
