Future Developments  
Basis Limitations  
For the latest information about developments related to  
Form 7203 and its instructions, such as legislation  
enacted after they were published, go to IRS.gov/  
Generally, the deduction for your share of aggregate  
losses and deductions reported on Schedule K-1 (Form  
1120-S) is limited to the basis of your stock and loans  
from you to the corporation. For details and exceptions,  
see section 1366(d). The basis of your stock is generally  
figured at the end of the corporation's tax year. Any losses  
and deductions not allowed this year because of the basis  
limit can be carried forward indefinitely and deducted in a  
later year subject to the basis limit for that year.  
What’s New  
New items on Form 7203. New item D checkbox(es)  
are added for stock acquisition method(s). New item E  
checkbox is added to indicate when a Regulations section  
1.1367-1(g) election is in effect during the tax year for this  
S corporation. See Item D and Item E for details.  
You are responsible for keeping the information  
needed to figure the basis of your stock in the corporation.  
Schedule K-1 (Form 1120-S) provides information to help  
you figure your stock basis at the end of each corporate  
tax year. The basis of your stock (generally, its cost) is  
adjusted annually as follows and, except as noted, in the  
order listed. In addition, basis may be adjusted under  
other provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. You  
should generally use this form to figure your aggregate  
stock and debt basis.  
1. Basis is increased by (a) all income (including  
tax-exempt income) reported on Schedule K-1 (Form  
1120-S), and (b) the excess of the deduction for depletion  
(other than oil and gas depletion) over the basis of the  
property subject to depletion.  
Reminder  
Form 7203 and its separate instructions are developed to  
replace the 3-part Worksheet for Figuring a Shareholder’s  
Stock and Debt Basis and its related instructions formerly  
found in the Shareholder's Instructions for Schedule K-1  
(Form 1120-S).  
General Instructions  
Purpose of Form  
Use Form 7203 to figure potential limitations of your share  
of the S corporation's deductions, credits, and other items  
that can be deducted on your return.  
You must report on your return (if you are required  
Who Must File  
to file one) any amount required to be included in  
!
Form 7203 is filed by S corporation shareholders who:  
CAUTION  
gross income for it to increase your basis.  
Are claiming a deduction for their share of an aggregate  
loss from an S corporation (including an aggregate loss  
not allowed last year because of basis limitations),  
2. Basis is decreased (but not below zero) by (a)  
property distributions (including cash) made by the  
corporation reported on Schedule K-1 (Form 1120-S),  
box 16, code D, minus (b) the amount of such  
distributions in excess of the basis in your stock.  
3. Basis is decreased (but not below zero) by (a)  
nondeductible expenses, and (b) the depletion deduction  
for any oil and gas property held by the corporation, but  
only to the extent your share of the property's adjusted  
basis exceeds that deduction.  
Received a non-dividend distribution from an S  
corporation,  
Disposed of stock in an S corporation (whether or not  
gain is recognized), or  
Received a loan repayment from an S corporation.  
It may be beneficial for shareholders to complete  
and retain Form 7203 even for years it is not  
TIP  
required to be filed, as this will ensure their bases  
are consistently maintained year after year.  
4. Basis is decreased (but not below zero) by all  
losses and deductions reported on Schedule K-1 (Form  
1120-S).  
Limitations on Losses, Deductions,  
and Credits  
You may elect to decrease your basis under (4) prior to  
decreasing your basis under (3). If you make this election,  
any amount described under (3) that exceeds the basis of  
your stock and debt owed to you by the corporation is  
treated as an amount described under (3) for the following  
tax year.  
There are potential limitations on corporate losses that  
you can deduct on your return. These limitations and the  
order in which you must apply them are as follows: the  
basis limitations (Form 7203), the at-risk limitations (Form  
6198), the passive activity loss limitations (Form 8582),  
Oct 19, 2022  
Cat. No. 74861H  
To make the election, attach a statement to your timely  
filed original or amended return that states you agree to  
the carryover rule of Regulations section 1.1367-1(g) and  
the name of the S corporation to which the rule applies.  
Once made, the election applies to the year for which it is  
made and all future tax years for that S corporation,  
unless the IRS agrees to revoke your election.  
Item E  
Check the box to indicate if you have a Regulations  
section 1.1367-1(g) election in effect during the tax year  
for this S corporation. See Regulations section  
1.1367-1(g) for details.  
Part I. Shareholder Stock Basis  
The basis of each share of stock is increased or  
decreased (but not below zero) based on its pro rata  
share of the above adjustments. If the total decreases in  
basis attributable to a share exceed that share's basis, the  
excess reduces (but not below zero) the remaining bases  
of all other shares of stock in proportion to the remaining  
basis of each of those shares.  
Part I of Form 7203 addresses adjustments to  
stock basis as provided under section 1367.  
!
CAUTION  
Other code sections might also cause a reduction  
in S corporation stock basis.  
Line 1. Enter your basis in the stock of the S corporation  
at the beginning of the corporation’s tax year. Unless this  
is your initial year owning stock in the S corporation, this  
amount should be the same as your ending stock basis  
from the prior tax year.  
Basis of loans. The basis of your loans to the  
corporation is generally the balance the corporation owes  
you, adjusted for any reductions and restorations of loan  
basis. See the instructions for box 16, code E, in the  
Shareholder's Instructions for Schedule K-1 (Form  
1120-S). Any amounts described in (3) and (4), earlier,  
not used to offset amounts in (1), earlier, or to reduce your  
stock basis, are used to reduce your loan basis (to the  
extent of such basis prior to such reduction).  
Stock basis can’t be less than zero.  
Don’t include any basis from indebtedness on this line.  
Stock basis and debt basis must be figured separately.  
Debt basis is addressed in Part II of this form.  
Line 2. Enter any additional contributions to the capital of  
the S corporation or any additional acquisitions of stock.  
Don’t include any loans to the S corporation.  
When determining your basis in loans to the  
corporation, remember that:  
!
The basis of stock you purchased is usually its cost.  
CAUTION  
If you contributed property to the S corporation in  
exchange for stock in a section 351 transaction, your  
stock basis is generally figured by taking the carryover  
basis of assets transferred to the corporation, less the  
liabilities assumed by the corporation. If the assumed  
liabilities exceed the adjusted tax basis of the contributed  
assets, see section 357(c). See section 358 for more  
information on the basis of stock received in a section 351  
transaction.  
The basis of inherited property is generally the fair  
market value (FMV) at the date of death or the alternate  
valuation date. See section 1014 and Regulations section  
1.1014-4.  
Distributions don't reduce loan basis, and  
Loans that a shareholder guarantees or co-signs aren't  
part of a shareholder's loan basis. Shareholders only  
obtain basis from acting as a guarantor or in a similar  
capacity to the extent the shareholder makes a payment  
pursuant to the guarantee.  
See Regulations section 1.1366-2(a) and section 1367  
and its regulations for more details.  
Specific Instructions  
Name of Shareholder  
The basis of stock acquired by gift is generally the  
basis of the stock in the hands of the donor. There are  
special rules if the FMV of the stock is less than the  
donor’s adjusted basis. See Regulations sections  
1.1015-1, 1.1366-2(a)(6), and 1.1366-2(a)(7).  
Enter the name shown on your Schedule K-1 (Form  
1120-S). If you are married filing jointly and you received a  
Schedule K-1 (Form 1120-S) for you and your spouse,

The basis for stock received as compensation is the  
FMV on the date the compensation is included in income.  
See Pub. 551 for details.  
Line 3. Enter on lines 3a through 3m all separately  
figured and non-separately figured items of income from  
Schedule K-1 (Form 1120-S). See below for specific  
instructions.  
Reminder. Enter only positive amounts from  
Schedule K-1 (Form 1120-S) on line 3. Negative amounts  
(decreases to stock basis) are entered in Part III.  
Item C  
When a shareholder has a different basis in different  
blocks of stock, pass-through items are generally  
allocated pro rata to all shares, regardless of their different  
bases. If there is a partial stock sale or partial redemption,  
you may file more than one Form 7203 and provide a  
description of what period the form covers. See  
Regulations section 1.1367-1(b)(2) and (c)(3) for details.  
Item D  
Check applicable box(es) to indicate how stock was  
acquired. If you didn't acquire the stock through purchase,  
inheritance, gift, or as an original shareholder, check

The income reported on line 3 should be reported on  
the appropriate areas of your return. See the  
Shareholder's Instructions for Schedule K-1 (Form  
1120-S) for details.  
Line 6. Enter the distributions reported on Schedule K-1  
(Form 1120-S), box 16, code D. Don’t include any Form  
1099-DIV distributions (dividend distributions from the  
accumulated earnings and profits while a C corporation)  
on this line.  
You must complete this section if you have personally  
loaned money to the corporation.  
You must account for each formal note (notes with a  
written instrument) made to your S corporation by entering  
it separately in its own column. You can’t aggregate  
multiple loans into a single column. If you have more than  
three loans, use additional copies of Part II.  
Loans made to the S corporation that aren’t evidenced  
by a written instrument are referred to as an open account  
debt and aren’t separately tracked. If an open account  
debt has a year-end balance of more than $25,000, it will  
be classified as a formal note at the beginning of the next  
tax year and must be separately tracked.  
Note. If the amount of the distribution is more than the  
stock basis before distributions, report the excess amount  
as a capital gain on Form 8949, Sales and Other  
Dispositions of Capital Assets, and Schedule D. Don’t  
increase your stock basis for the amount of capital gain  
reported for the excess. See Nondividend distributions in  
the Instructions for Form 8949.

S corporation at the beginning of the corporation’s tax  
year in a separate column.  
Line 17. Enter any new loans made during the tax year  
and evidenced by a formal note in a separate column. If a  
formal note is refinanced, any increase should be entered  
on line 17 under the same column as the original loan.  
Line 8a. Enter the amount from Schedule K-1 (Form  
1120-S), box 16, code C.  
Line 8b. Enter the amount of oil and gas depletion  
claimed on your personal return up to your proportionate  
share of basis in the property subject to depletion. Any  
cumulative depletion in excess of your proportionate  
share of basis in the property subject to depletion won’t  
reduce your basis.  
Advances and repayments made during the  
S corporation’s tax year on an open account are netted at  
the close of the S corporation’s tax year to determine the  
amount of any net advance or net repayment. See  
Regulations section 1.1367-2(d)(2). Enter any net  
advances on line 17 under the same column as the open  
account debt. If this is the first year of the open account  
debt, enter the net advance in its own column on line 17.  
Don’t enter an amount for depletion not related to oil  
and gas property.  
Line 8c. Certain credits require the reduction of both an S  
corporation's assets as well as the shareholder's stock  
basis. See sections 50(c)(1) and (5) for details.  
Line 11. Use Part III to figure the total allowable loss and  
deduction items from stock basis. Enter the total from

note or is an open account.  
Line 21. Enter the debt basis of your loan(s) to the  
S corporation at the beginning of the corporation’s tax

net increase is the amount by which the items that  
increase stock basis per section 1367(a)(1) (for example,  
income, tax-exempt income, and excess depletion)

CAUTION  
Part III. Shareholder Allowable Loss  
and Deduction Items  
nondeductibles, nondividend distributions, etc.). See  
Regulations section 1.1367-2(c)(1).  
The corporate losses and other deduction items are  
limited to the sum of your stock and debt basis. When  
stock and debt basis is insufficient, and there is more than  
one type of loss or deduction item that reduces basis, the  
amounts allowed as a loss or deduction are allocated on a  
pro rata basis. See Regulations sections 1.1366-2(a)(4)  
and (5).  
The net increase is figured as follows:  
Line 4  
Minus line 6  
Minus line 9  
Minus line 13 (as applicable)  
Minus line 47(a)  
Loss and deductions in excess of basis are suspended  
and carried forward indefinitely and the character of the  
loss and deduction items is retained.  
Minus line 47(b)  
If the net increase figured exceeds the total reduction in  
debt basis (line 16 minus line 21), then the restoration is  
limited to the amount needed to restore debt basis to the  
face of the loan.  
Part III shows the pro rata allocation and tracks any  
loss or deduction carryforward.  
Column (a). Enter the loss and deduction amounts for  
each item as reported on your Schedule K-1 (Form  
1120-S).

necessary to offset any gain that would otherwise be  
realized. Any remaining net increase is applied to each  
debt in proportion to its reduced basis. See Regulations  
section 1.1367-2(c)(2).  
Column (c). If line 10 is zero, skip column (c).  
If stock basis, as reported on line 10, is greater than the  
sum of column (a) and column (b), line 47, enter the sum  
of each line for column (a) plus column (b) in column (c). If  
stock basis, as reported on line 10, is less than the sum of  
column (a) and column (b), line 47, enter the pro rata  
amount on the corresponding line in column (c). The total  
allocation amount reported in column (c), line 47, can’t  
exceed the amount reported on line 10.  
Line 28. Enter the smaller of the nondeductible expenses  
and oil and gas depletion deductions in excess of stock  
basis (line 9 minus line 7) or line 27.  
If an election is made under Regulations section  
1.1367-1(g), enter the smaller of the portion of line 13 that  
is attributable to the Regulations section 1.1367-1(g)  
election or line 27.  
Nondeductible expenses in excess of stock and debt  
basis don’t carry forward (unless an election is made  
under Regulations section 1.1367-1(g)).  
Column (d). If line 29 is zero, skip column (d).  
If column (c), line 47, is less than line 10, skip column

column (a) plus column (b) minus column (c), line 47,  
enter column (a) plus column (b) minus column (c), in  
column (d) for each line item. If debt basis, as reported on  
line 29, is less than column (a) plus column (b) minus  
column (c), line 47, enter the pro rata amount on the  
corresponding line in column (d). The total allocation  
amount reported in column (d), line 47, can’t exceed the
