Father gifted his shares to the son, who already had 50% of the shares in an S-corp. The son now owns 100% of the shares.
Does the father's tax basis follow the shares as basis to the son? The father had basis, but the son had loss carryover, due to excess distributions.
If so, is the basis to the son the lower of the father's basis, or the FMV of the shares at the time of the gift?
