Answer #1

Option (c) is correct.

       A shareholder's personal gaurantee towards S corporation liability towards third pary cannot enhance

        debt basis. Debt basis can be increased only when a shareholder is directly giving loan to S corporation.

        In the given instance, personal gaurantee to bank doesn't increase his stock/debt basis.

        Moreover, Shareholder is not able to deduct 100% interest on loan as his deduction in Schedule K-1
