Question

How do I convert Single Member LLC Balance Sheet after electing to be taxed as s-corp when asset loans are greater than tax basis which results in negative equity?

For example, LLC Ending Balance Sheet:

$10,000 cash
$0 Fixed Assets (Fully expensed through bonus or 179)
$15,000 Loans to acquire Fixed Assets
($5,000) Negative Equity

How do I show this in my S-Corporation Return Balance Sheet?

Some "Experts" have told me that the $5,000 would be a taxable gain to the LLC owner.  Is that correct?

Is this the first year for the SMLLC and they're electing SCorp status? 

 Doesn't sound like it but want to be sure.
