When property is distributed from a Corporation, C, S or Sub-S, it is considered a deemed sale. The corp would recognize the sale at fair market value.
The property in question would be the Land.
Could you clarify your question about distributing stock, the stock in the Sub S corp ?

If you mean by distributing the S-Corp stock, do you mean buying out deceased shareholder (paying the estate) or that the estate would become the new shareholder in S-corp.

further question
while it is now clear for me that there will be a gain to report on the appreciated property
is the gain reduced by the stock which was held by the deceased inside the sub-s or will the estate take into account the gain to be reported when preparing either a form 706 or form 1041
Does the S-corp hold stock as an investment? or do you mean the deceased held stock of the S-corp.The gain on the distribution of the property would be based on the ownership of the S-Corp, the deceased (his estate) would get his prorated share of the gain.With the property being distributed and treated as a sale, the overall value of the Company would be reduced by the reduction in assets (property). This would lower the value of the S-corp stock.Please clarify, S-corp stock or stock investment owned inside S-Corp.
