The stock of x is owned equally by two shareholders y an


This problem is from Federal income taxation of Corporations and Shareholder 7th edition (James S. Eustice) 5A (9)

The stock of X is owned equally by two shareholders: Y (an individual with a stock basis of $100) and A (an individual with stock basis of $40). X uses the accrual method, A and Y use the cash method, and all use the calendar year. (Assume 1059 does not apply). Use a 34% corporate tax rate in this problem. X has always been an S corporation. During the current year, X accrued income and expenses as follows:

Gross income from Business $500

Dividends on AT&T stock (consider &243) $100

Interest on municipal bonds (&103) 100

Capital gain 100

Total $800

Deductible &162(a)(1) business expense 430

Noncaptial expenses not deductible under &162(e) 90

Capital losses (see &1211 (a) 146

Total 66

Net $134

Suppose that Y is an individual and that X has always been an S Corporation.

a) Alternatively, X has E&P of 100 from years before it wa an S corporation and nothing in its AAA from prior S years. The $100 is capital gain from the sale of stock held for investment and the $500 gross income from businesses is also gross receipts from business. Assume the stock for investment was acquired whil an S corporation. Assume other facts remaining the same including the $100 distribution to each shareholder. Discuss the following, showeing calculation where appropriate. (1) 1374 tax, (2) 1375 tax (calculate excess passive income) and consequences, and (3) AAA and E&P and basis.

For the answer can you please explain how do you get the result.

Paying of taxes in the US soil is inevitable. No single corporation r individual can be able to evade it. The corporation has a net built in gain recognition, hence tax is imposed and it is calculated on the income of the corporation. Accumulated Adjustment Account (AAA) is an account in the corporation that is being either increased or decreased after certain period of time. It only measures taxable income in a company that has been already taxed.
