Blue corporation has two assets :
Asset Adjusted Bases Fair market value Gain/(loss)
Equipment 150,000 200,000 50,000
Building               900,000 800,000 -100,000
Total Gain/(loss) -50,000
As Blue corporation is making a loss at liquidation as per the fair market value of its assets there will be no tax due for Blue Corporation
Alan's Basis in the shares = 100,000
Fair Market Value of the building received = 800,000
Alans will be charged capital gain tax on the difference between his basis for shares and the FMV of the asset received
Capital gain = 800000 - 700000 = 100,000
