1120 Schedule L Question

On Line 22 they ask for Capital stock and on line 27 they ask for treasury stock.

22 is all stock issued (the sum of treasury and that outstanding), so 22 minus 27 is the outstanding stock, right? I am looking at a return where 27 is greater than 22. Other than an error, is there any way that could happen? The instructions don't cover this, presumably because it is so simple... thanks

Happens quite often. I've one where 1,000 shares were issued for $1 back in the 70's. Two owners Dad with 999 and son with 1 share. Both worked business. Dad died leaving stock to Mom. Board (son and Ma) authorized a company stock buy back. Now the equity section looks like this: Common Stock 1 Treasury Stock -1,000,000

Funkly looking I agree but remember we deal with historical cost NOT fair market value. Regards,

Mark

Capital stock is the par value Paid in Capital is the excess of par value when it was issued. Treasury stock is what you paid to repurchase the stock. It has nothing to do with par value or the value you issued it for.
