    Is Balance of Scorp AAA account adjusted when a shareholder sells out

    Two shareholders, each own 50%

    The balance in their Scorp AAA account was approx 5 million on 12/31/23.

    Their total Stock outside basis was also approx the same, ie, 5 million.

    On 1/31/24, Shareholder A paid Shareholder B 4 million for her shares. and shareholder B exited the company.

    On shareholders B 2024 1040 I will report gain on sale of stock 1.5 million (4 million sale price less her share of basis 2.5 million)

    Shareholders A outside basis in his shares after the sale is 6.5 million (his half of original 5 million basis plus the 4 million he paid to buy her out)...correct?

    For simplicity's sake, let's say that at year end 2024, the net profit/loss for the entire year of 2024 is zero and there were no Shareholder draws for 2024.

    Do I make any adjustment to the AAA account for the stock sale transaction?

    Thanks

    Here is a good source of info on S-Corp AAA account.

    Tracking these accounts is important if an S corporation enters into certain transactions such as redemptions, liquidations, reorganizations, or corporate separations.
