Calculate the gain recognized on a shareholder's loan repayment

UltraTax CS follows Revenue Rulings 64-162 and 68-537 when calculating the gain on partial repayment of a reduced-basis shareholder loan. The nontaxable return of loan basis is calculated by taking the basis before the loan was repaid as a percentage of the balance of the shareholder loan at the beginning of the year. The total loan repayment for the year is multiplied by this percentage to calculate the nontaxable return of the loan basis. The difference between the loan repayment for the year and the nontaxable return of the loan basis is the gain recognized on repayment.
