b. The shareholder’s adjusted basis of any indebtedness of the Alabama S corporation to the shareholder as determined without regard to any adjustment under subsection (c)(2) of Section 40-18-164 for the taxable year.

(2) Any loss or deduction which is disallowed for any taxable year by reason of subdivision (1) of this subsection shall be treated as incurred by the corporation in the succeeding taxable year with respect to that shareholder.

(3) The carryover of disallowed losses and deductions to the post-termination transition period shall be determined as follows:

If for the last taxable year of a corporation for which it was an Alabama S corporation, a loss or deduction was disallowed by reason of subdivision (1) of this subsection, the loss or deduction shall be treated as incurred by the shareholder on the last day of any post-termination transition period.
