Question

When appreciated property is distributed in a nonliquidating distribution, the net effect on the distributing corporation's E&P is that it is reduced by the FMV of the property distributed and increased by the gain (net of federal income taxes) recognized due to the property distribution.TrueFalse

Answer 1

True

Step-by-step explanation:

"Nonliquidating corporate distributions are distributions of cash and/or property by a continuing corporation to its shareholders. At the shareholder level, a nonliquidating corporate distribution can produce a variety of tax consequences, including taxable dividend treatment, capital gain or loss, or a reduction in stock basis. [...]

The corporate-level tax consequences of a nonliquidating corporate distribution depend on whether the distribution consists of cash or property (other than cash). The corporation does not recognize gain or loss when it distributes cash to shareholders or when it redeems stock in exchange for cash payments."
