Evan should include $80,000 in gross income

Explanation:

As per given data

Evan Interest = 40%

Evan's Basis = $2,000

Gross income is the income that is used for the calculation of tax, So, the interest of in S corporation will decide the gross income.

Gross income for Evan = $200,000 x 40%

Gross income for Evan = $80,000

Evan's Basis will be used for the calculation of tax value not for gross income.
