If the claims are rejected, creditors need to be advised in writing that the corporation has rejected the claims. See to it that you have a lawyer to be your guide and adviser. When the claims are paid, make sure that the remaining assets will be distributed proportionally to the company owners as the ownership’s share. All of these distributions should be reported to IRS.
