Question - Rare Corporation has accumulated E&P of $2,000,000. The corporation has 1,000 shares of common stock outstanding and owned by unrelated parties as follows: Julie, 500 shares and Jim, 500 shares. Julie and Jim each paid $200 per share for Rare stock 15 years ago. At the end of the year, Rare distributes securities (fair market value $250,000 and adjusted basis of $140,000) to Julie in redemption of 200 share of her stock. How much tax will Julie owe as a result of the redemption? Assume Julie is in the 37% tax bracket. What impact does this redemption have on the tax liability of Rare Corporation (if any)?
