Sec. 301. Distributions of property

-STATUTE-

(a) In general

Except as otherwise provided in this chapter, a distribution of

property (as defined in section 317(a)) made by a corporation to a

shareholder with respect to its stock shall be treated in the

manner provided in subsection (c).

Sections 301(a), (c)(1), (2), (3)(A)

Assumption: Accumulated earnings and profits are from prior years. Treatment of distribution to A: first, 50 dividend to extent of current earnings and profits, second, 75 dividend to extent of accumulated earnings and profits, third, return of basis of 30 (reducing A's stock basis to 0) and finally, gain of 45 as though from a sale of stock (calculated as 200 distribution - (50 + 75 + 30)).

(b) Amount distributed

(1) General rule

For purposes of this section, the amount of any distribution

shall be the amount of money received, plus the fair market value

of the other property received.

Sections 301(b)(1), (3), (d)

Assumptions: Accumulated earnings amount is as of end of prior year. The amount of distribution is 200, treated (to A) in the same fashion as a cash distribution of 200: dividend of 125, return of basis of 30, gain of 45 as though from a sale of the stock. The land's fair market value is determined as of the time of distribution to A. A will have a basis in that land equal to its fair market value of 140.

(2) Reduction for liabilities

The amount of any distribution determined under paragraph (1)

shall be reduced (but not below zero) by -

(A) the amount of any liability of the corporation assumed by

the shareholder in connection with the distribution, and

(B) the amount of any liability to which the property

received by the shareholder is subject immediately before, and

immediately after, the distribution.

Section 301 (b)(2) Ex. 1

Assumptions: 1. Accumulated earnings and profits amount is as of end of prior year 2. the liability transferred includes an assumable mortgage of 70 (which A assumes) and back property taxes of 30 which the property is subject to. The amount of distribution is 200: the land's fair market value of 300 less both the liability assumed of 70 and liability to which the property was subject of 30. The treatment to A is similar to the example from section 301(a): dividend of 125, tax-free return of stock basis of 30 (reducing basis to 0), gain as though from a sale of stock of 45.

Section 301(b)(2) Ex. 2

Assumptions: 130 liability associated with land which includes an assumable mortgage of 100 (which A assumes) and back property taxes of 30 which the property is subject to. In addition, A assumes an X note payable of 200. Treatment: the amount of distribution equals 0: 300 (FMV of land) - (30 + 100 + 200 liabilities) but not below 0. The excess of 30 should instead be treated as a contribution to capital increasing A's stock basis from 30 to 60.

(3) Determination of fair market value

For purposes of this section, fair market value shall be

determined as of the date of the distribution.

In the case of a distribution to which subsection (a) applies -

(1) Amount constituting dividend

That portion of the distribution which is a dividend (as

defined in section 316) shall be included in gross income.

(2) Amount applied against basis

That portion of the distribution which is not a dividend shall

be applied against and reduce the adjusted basis of the stock.

(3) Amount in excess of basis

(A) In general

Except as provided in subparagraph (B), that portion of the

distribution which is not a dividend, to the extent that it

exceeds the adjusted basis of the stock, shall be treated as

gain from the sale or exchange of property.

(B) Distributions out of increase in value accrued before March

1, 1913

That portion of the distribution which is not a dividend, to

the extent that it exceeds the adjusted basis of the stock and

to the extent that it is out of increase in value accrued

before March 1, 1913, shall be exempt from tax.

Section 301(c)(3)(B)

Example is modified version of Reg. Sec. 1.301-1(f) Ex.3

Assumptions: X had acquired timber land prior to March 1, 1913, at a cost 0f 50, 5 of which is allocated to the land and 45 to the timber. On March 1, 1913, the value of the timber land was 150, 15 attributable to the land, 135 attributable to the timber. The pre-1913 appreciation of 90 in the timber (135 - 45) is realized through depletion deductions in years prior to the current year (see section 1053). In the current year, X sells the land and therefore has an economic gain of 15, 5 of which is taxable (10 is not taxable due to the appreciation of 10 as of March 1, 1913). X has no earnings and profits or deficit for prior years. In the current year, X has earnings and profits of 20, 5 of which is from the taxable gain on the land sale, 15 is from unrelated sources.

Treatment of 75 distribution to A: 20 dividend (and, therefore taxable), 30 tax-free reduction of stock basis (to 0), 25 exempt from tax because it is from pre-3/1/1913 realized appreciation.

(d) Basis

The basis of property received in a distribution to which

subsection (a) applies shall be the fair market value of such

property.

(e) Special rule for certain distributions received by 20 percent

corporate shareholder

(1) In general

Except to the extent otherwise provided in regulations, solely

for purposes of determining the taxable income of any 20 percent

corporate shareholder (and its adjusted basis in the stock of the

distributing corporation), section 312 shall be applied with

respect to the distributing corporation as if it did not contain

subsections (k) and (n) thereof.

Sections 301(e)(1) & (2) Ex. 1

Assumptions: No E&P prior to the current year. This year's E&P prior to depreciation is 80. Accelerated depreciation allowable to X on all of its assets is 30. Depreciation under the section §168(g)(2) alternative depreciation system would be 20.

Treatment of 30 distribution to corporation A is as though X had E&P of 50 because §301(e)(1) in essence recomputes X's E&P as to A as though §312 (k) (which adjusts depreciation) did not apply. The 30 distribution to A would therefore result in dividend income of 15, tax-free return of basis of 12, and gain as though from the sale of stock of 3.

Treatment of 30 distribution to individual B: dividend of 18 (30% of actual E&P of 60 as adjusted pursuant to §312(k)), tax-free reduction of basis of 12, and gain as though from the sale of stock of 0.

Sections 301(e)(1) & (2) Ex. 2

Treatment to both A and B from the distribution of 30 to each: dividend of 18 each (30% of 60 E&P), reduction of basis of 12 and gain as though from sale of stock of 0.

A is not a "20 percent corporate shareholder" under §301(e)(2) because, even though A is a corporation owning at least 20% of X, A is not entitled to a dividend received deduction pursuant to §243 (or §§244 or 245) because §246(c)(1) disallows that deduction because A did not own the X stock for a sufficient number of days.

(2) 20 percent corporate shareholder

For purposes of this subsection, the term "20 percent corporate

shareholder" means, with respect to any distribution, any

corporation which owns (directly or through the application of

section 318) -

(A) stock in the corporation making the distribution

possessing at least 20 percent of the total combined voting

power of all classes of stock entitled to vote, or

(B) at least 20 percent of the total value of all stock of

the distributing corporation (except nonvoting stock which is

limited and preferred as to dividends),

but only if, but for this subsection, the distributee corporation

would be entitled to a deduction under section 243, 244, or 245

with respect to such distribution.

Sections 301(e)(1) & (2) Ex. 1

Sections 301(e)(1) & (2) Ex. 2

Treatment to both A and B from the distribution of 30 to each: dividend of 18 each (30% of 60 E&P), reduction of basis of 12 and gain as though from sale of stock of 0.

(3) Application of section 312(n)(7) not affected

The reference in paragraph (1) to subsection (n) of section 312

shall be treated as not including a reference to paragraph (7) of

such subsection.

Section 301(e)(3)

Assumptions: Accumulated earnings and profits is before either transactions and there is no current earnings and profits.

§312(n)(7) generally limits the reduction in E&P for redeemed shares (in a redemption treated as a sale or exchange under §§302(a) or 303) to the ratable share of E&P attributable to the redeemed shares. §§301(e)(1) and (2) generally provides for a different computation for the purpose of determining the income of 20% corporate shareholders, where such recomputation includes ignoring the adjustments of §§312(k) and (n). §301(e)(3) overrides the general rule of §301(e)(1) and (2) for purposes of applying §312(n)(7). Hence, §312(n)(7) applies for all purposes, including the determination of income of 20% corporate shareholders.

Treatment: X's redemption of C's 10% reduces X's E&P from 50 to 45. Thus, corporation A and individual B receive similar treatment from receiving their distributions: dividend of 15 each, tax-free return of basis of 12 each (note they had equal bases before the transactions) and gain as though from the sale of the stock of 3 each.

(4) Regulations

The Secretary shall prescribe such regulations as may be

necessary or appropriate to carry out the purposes of this

subsection.

(f) Special rules

(1) For distributions in redemption of stock, see section

302.

(2) For distributions in complete liquidation, see part II

(sec. 331 and following).

(3) For distributions in corporate organizations and

reorganizations, see part III (sec. 351 and following).

(4) For taxation of dividends received by individuals at

capital gains rates, see section 1(h)(11).
