I (obvious) don't have a background in accounting or taxes.The history of my coming to be the sole shareholder of this s-corp is complex, long and, I have no doubt, filled with tax-planning blunders.In case anyone is still interested, and inclined the help, here it is in as abbreviated form as possible:1967:  5 families bought this property as a summer vacation for them to use collectively1980:  1 of the families sold their share (20% of the property and what is effectively a lifelong lease to one of the 5 cottages).
