Do you know what is Imputed Interest?

When there are monies loaned by one party to another at zero or below market interest rates then for tax purposes the transaction is recharacterized and the lender is treated to have received interest at statutory federal rate of interest. This could happen when a shareholder loans money to corporation or vice versa. There are some exceptions. Check out if you have such situation in your tax return.
