    You are a c corp with land. The land has:

    Basis: 100K

    FMV: 200K

    Liability attached to land: 250K

    What happens if the c-corp distributes the land out? Is the gain 100K or is it 150K?

    BEC - 87 | 02/28
    REG - 70 | 06/10, REMATCH | 08/30
    AUD - XX | 09/10
    FAR - XX | 12/10

    150k. If the liability is greater than the fair market value, you compute the difference of liability-basis.
