Determine stock and debt basis


I am a 100% shareholder of Johnson Corp. (an S corporation). At the beginning of 2010, My basis in Johnson Corp. stock was $14,000. During 2010, I loaned $20,000 to Johnson Corp. and Johnson Corp. reported a $25,000 ordinary business loss and no separately stated items. In 2011, Johnson Corp. has reported $8,000 of ordinary business income.

a. How much of the $25,000 ordinary loss allocated to me clears the tax basis hurdle for deductibility in 2010?
b. What is my stock and debt basis at the end of 2010?
c. What is my stock and debt basis at the end of 2011?
