I have a profitable S-Corp that loaned $56k to a recently failed LLC. I need to make sure I make the correct journal entries. Can someone help?

The LLC failed in 2016 and did not repay the loan, or effectively defaulted. I need to make sure I make the right journal entries.

 

In the LLC I made the following entries:

I debited the  Loan Account $56k

I credited Member Investments account $56k

 

For the S-corp I made the following entries:

I debited the loan account $56k

I credited the expense account "Bad Debt" the $56k.

 

Does that sound right? From what I understand the $56k should show up as income for the LLC and then show up as a loss or expense for the S-Corp. Am I doing this right?
