    Amir's basis is $0, so he/she is no longer a shareholder, and must pay taxes only for the $3,500 capital gain.

    Explanation:

    Accumulated earnings and profits = $0, so it should not distribute dividends. What probably happened is that Indigo is repurchasing Amir's stocks:

    Amir's gain/loss on the distribution = $18,500 cash - $15,000 basis = $3,500 gain

    So now Amir's basis is $0, so he/she is no longer a shareholder, and must pay taxes only for the $3,500 capital gain.
