Question

Fisafolia Corporation has gross income from operations of $462,600 and operating expenses of $323,820 for the current year. The corporation also has $46,260 in dividends from publicly traded domestic corporations (ownership in all corporations was less than 20 percent). a. Calculate the corporation's dividends received deduction for the current year. b. Assume that instead of $462,600, Fisafolia Corporation has gross income from operations of $277,560. Calculate the corporation's dividends received deduction for the current year.

Explanation / Answer

Answer 1.

Gross Income = $462,600

Operating Expnses = $323,820

Dividend Income = $46,260

Net Taxable Income = $185,040 (Income - Expenses + Dividend Income)

Since ownership is less than 20%, So Dividend Received Deduction is 70% of Net taxable Income or Dividend Income whichever is less.

Since, Dividend Income is less than the taxable income

So, Dividend Received Deduction = 70% of 46,260

= $32,382

Answer 2.

Gross Income = $277,560

Operating Expenses = $323,820

Dividend Income = $46,260

Net Taxable Income = $ 0 (Income - Expenses + Dividend Income)

Dividend Received Deduction = 70% of 46,260

= $32,382
