    What is Swan's taxable gain on the distribution of the cottage?

    Fair market value of property = 200000

    Less: adjusted basis of property = 115000 (150000-35000)

    Taxable gain on distribution = 85000

    What is Swan's current E&P after the distribution on 12/31/13?

    Swans current E&P = 300000

    Add: taxable gain on distribution = 85000

    Less: distribution made = 165000 (200000-35000)

    After distribution E&P = 220000

    What is the taxable dividend to the shareholder (if any) ?

    Taxable dividend to shareholders = 200000-35000 = 165000

    What is the shareholder's basis in the cottage?

    Shareholders basis is FMV of property i. e. 200000
