Harry and Ron are brothers who inherited a house from their mother several years ago. The house was included in moms estate at a value of $230,000 Two years ago, they decided to form a corporation to own the house (liability issues, you know) and they each contributed their 50% ownership in the house to this new corporation (HR Corporation) in exchange for 50% each of the newly issued common stock. At the date of the incorporation, the house was worth $300,000. Unfortunately for Harry and Ron, the housing bubble burst soon after incorporation and the value of the house fell all the way to $100,000. Ron decided he wanted to live in the house, so they decided to liquidate the corporation and return direct ownership to them both in equal shares.
