I am a shareholder of my company, which was bought this year. This company was an S Corp and it was brought into the new company through an F Reorganization. About half of my sale proceeds were paid out and the other half was rolled over to the new company. How do I handle cost basis for this transaction? Does all of my basis count towards the cash proceeds or is the basis split between the cash proceeds and the rollover, pro rata?

Mods: This was meant to be under federal taxes, not state. My apologies.

All of your basis in the original company counts as basis in this transaction. Your beginning basis in the new company is the portion of the proceeds that were rolled over there.

Thank you. To clarify then, our basis in the previous company will be split, pro rata, between the cash proceeds and the proceeds rolled over to the new company?
