What are the tax repercussions of a shareholder putting money into the C Corp as a contribution of Capital as compared to a loan? Is it solely because the contribution to capital can only be taken out as a taxable dividend? If so, are the dividends taxed as ordinary dividends with a 1099-div issued?
If given as a loan, and interest cannot be paid by the company yet, can it still be accrued as interest expense for the cash basis C Corp and then when paid (probably not for a few years) a 1099-int issued to the shareholder who will at that time recognize the interest income?
Please help. I have seen so much information on this. I called the IRS today and couldn't get a straight answer from them either.
