Q

Section 303 stock redemption

A

Permits the estate of a decedent shareholder to redeem the decedent’s shares with favorable income tax treatment.

  1. Transaction will be treated as a disposition of an asset (capital gain) rather than receipt of a dividend (ordinary income). This is especially advantageous because the shares received a stepped-up basis at death, and thus, the capital gain or loss is only measured from the DOD instead of the predeath basis.
  2. Conditions
    1. Stock included in GE
    2. Stock value > 35% AGE.
    3. Redemption proceeds eligible for capital gain treatment cannot exceed federal and state death taxes plus deductible funeral and administrative expenses
