That's an odd arrangement, I'm not even sure where to start! Are the assets being sold to a different buyer than the stock?
Before you approach the tax return you need to figure out the bookkeeping. Just take it one transaction at a time.
S Corp sells the assets so Cash increases, Fixed Assets decrease and there's a Gain/Loss. S Corp owner sells shares, this happens outside the corporation so nothing to book there directly (but it will impact the K-1 allocations). You mentioned loan basis but first we need to know what happened to the note payable between corporation and the selling shareholder.
Sounds like a mess.
Edit: Sorry, started typing before there were any replies and then got sidetracked!
