FAQ
If the stock redemption significantly decreases the stockholder's equity stake in the corporation, then the stock redemption is treated as a capital sale, in which a stockholder will either have a capital gain or loss, just as if the stock was sold on the market.
In finance, redemption describes the repayment of any money market fixed-income security at or before the asset's maturity date. Investors can make redemptions by selling part or all of their investments such as shares, bonds, or mutual funds.
Accounting for Redemptions on the Corporation's Books Debit the treasury stock account for the amount the company paid for the redemption. Credit the company's cash account for any payments already made to the shareholder. Credit accounts receivable for any future payment obligations.
The general rule for a stock redemption payment received by a C corporation shareholder is the payment is treated as a taxable dividend to the extent of the corporation's earnings and profits (similar to the financial accounting concept of retained earnings).
