Liquidation- General Rules ( 331 and 336). I, an individual, owns all of the stock of T Corporation. I formed the business seven years ago in a tax-free $ 351 transaction by contributing $100,000 cash and assets with a basis of $300,000 and a fair market value of $700,000. I decided to completely liquidate T Corporation, and all the assets of T are distributed to I. The balance sheet for T immediately prior to the liquidation is as follows:

Retained earnings (deficit) ($140,000) $0
Common stock 400,000 200,000
