@SandalsCA my responses to your questions:

  1. No
  2. Yes
  3. Yes.  Just report this on form 8949 which will then summarize on Schedule D.  Once you report the liquidating distribution of $5,000 (as a sales price) and your tax basis of $5,000 you will arrive at zero gain or loss.  Just call it S Corp liquidation.
