Third, whether the amounts contributed by the Gownis to Mina of Forest City and Bishoy were treated as loans or as contributions to capital by the corporations is not established because the corporate books of Mina of Forest City and Bishoy were never offered into evidence. Fourth, the Gownis have failed to establish the amounts of the allegedly outstanding loans due to them from Mina of Forest City and Bishoy for 1999. Petitioners contend that the Schedules L, Balance Sheets per Books, attached to the Forms 1120S filed by Mina of Forest City in 1998 and Bishoy in 1999 support the conclusion that the Gownis made loans to these corporations. While the Schedules L indicate that there are loans from shareholders outstanding for Mina of Forest City and Bishoy, they do not establish the amount of the outstanding shareholder loans due to the Gownis for 1999. (Moreover, on Mr. Gowni’s Schedule K-1, Shareholder’s Share of Income, Credits, Deductions, etc., that is attached to Bishoy’s Form 1120S for 1999, there is no amount of repayment listed on line 21, “Amount of loan repayments for ‘Loans from Shareholders’”.) The schedule of purported loans prepared by Mr. Gowni is also insufficient to establish the outstanding shareholder loan amounts due to the Gownis from Mina of Forest City and Bishoy for 1999 because it details only the amounts that the Gownis paid to Mina of ForestPage: Previous 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 Next
