Business & farm

Hello, 

 

Hoping someone can help me understand since I feel this is in the same topic area as this post. 

 

I follow completely the need to do a 1099 DIV and how to report it in the personal return but I am having a hard time understanding for what reason this would be causing a gain on the personal return after it is all said and done.   The basis left on 7203  for the S-Corp is less than the liquidating distribution.  

 

I am guessing there has to be a simple explanation for why this would occur and I am just overthinking this one!

 

Would appreciate any help offered!
