Required information
Andy, Jim and Dwight are starting a professional paper shredding company, and they are still exploring the pros and cons of the following types of legal entities:
C-corporation
Limited partnership
S-corporation
Andy and Jim will each contribute $200,000 in cash in exchange for their ownership interest. Dwight will contribute a warehouse that he owns that will be used to house the shredder machines. The warehouse has an FMV of $290,000 and is encumbered by a $90,000 mortgage. Dwight purchased the warehouse 3 years ago for $180,000. It was agreed that the profit and loss from the company's operations will be divided equally (i.e. 1/3 each) amongst the three owners.
Andy will manage the company's operations in exchange for $75,000 in compensation per year. Jim and Dwight will have minimal involvement in the company's operations, as they also own and manage full-time a company they formed as an LLC that sells pickled beets.
In addition to the $90,000 mortgage on the warehouse that is considered qualified nonrecourse financing, the company will also have a $180,000 recourse loan with a local bank and $75,000 in nonrecourse accounts payable. Jim and Dwight will not be included as guarantors for the recourse loan.
What will be Andy's initial tax basis in his ownership interest under each entity type (including his share of liabilities, if applicable)?
