Starting with the 2021 tax year, the new Form 7203, S Corporation Stock And Basis Limitation, will replace the basis statement that was required to be attached to Schedule E in prior years. As a result, BasisCalculator.com will not be updated for 2021.

BasisCalculator.com is still available to help you calculate the basis for prior years to determine the beginning stock basis to report on Line 1 and beginning loan value on Line 16 and beginning debt basis on Line 21.

The IRS website only has the draft version of the form. The final version of the form is expected by March 2022.

Why BasisCalc?

We help you with the really hard calculations like:
  • Excess distributions
  • Suspended losses
  • Taxable loan repayments
  • Debt basis restoration

As a shareholder, you are responsible for tracking your own basis, but it’s a complicated calculation most shareholders don’t know how to perform. And most shareholders don’t understand how basis impacts taxable income.

The result is many S shareholders have been taking a deduction for disallowed losses. The IRS is taking notice and is taking steps to make sure only allowed losses are included on shareholders’ returns.

Starting with 2018 tax returns, S corporation shareholders who are claiming a deduction for pass-through losses, must attach a statement to their return which shows the computation of the adjusted basis of corporate stock and any debt owed to the shareholder by the S corporation.

This is where BasisCalc comes in.

Need to see examples?

Here's an example basis form.

And here are several example basis reports showing different real-life scenarios you may encounter:
  • Example 1. This example shows losses that exceed basis, so the losses must be reduced on the tax return.
  • Example 2. This example shows when there's a suspended loss in a prior year that can be entirely deducted on the current year's tax return.
  • Example 3. The is the most complicated example. It has taxable distributions, taxable loan repayments, and suspended losses that must be reflected on a tax return.
  • Example 4. This example shows the next year's basis report when the taxpayer has suspended losses in the prior year, but only a portion can be deducted on the current year's return.

These are perfect examples of basis reports that need to be attached to a tax return. You know you need to attach a basis report when you have current year losses or you're deducting suspended losses from a prior year. That's why you need to run a basis report every year. It tells you when a basis report must be attached to your tax return. It also tells you when you have unexpected taxable distributions or loan repayments.
