Accumulated E&P at beginning -340,000

Current E&P is $170,000

Distributed $510,000 to sole shareholder on January 1, 20X3

Shareholder tax basis is $170,000

Shareholder will treat $510,000 as follows:

Now as the current E&P is 170,000

so out of 510,000 , $170,000 will be treated as dividend and $170,000 as tax free return of basis and remaining 170,000 will be capital gain.
