Building bought about 10 years ago and put into S-corp against my advice. About a year ago sole shareholder paid off the mortgage and began collecting rent from the S-Corp (saying she was now the owner). How do I transfer the building to the shareholder without triggering a tax. Can I just record a distribution of an amount equal to basis? Must any such distribution be at market value? Must it be a purchase a current market value?

" How do I transfer the building to the shareholder without triggering a tax."
You can't. It comes out of the Corp @ FMV.
And this is the shining example of WHY real estate (or, any appreciating asset) should never be put into a Corporation.
