Sarah and Mason each have dividend income of $200,000 {[$240,000 (accumulated E & P) + $160,000 (current E & P)] ÷ 2}. The dividend income will be subject to the reduced tax rate on dividends available to individuals. The remaining $40,000 of the $440,000 distribution reduces the basis ($20,000 each) in the shareholders’ stock with any excess treated as a capital gain. Thus, Sarah reduces her $8,000 stock basis to zero and has a capital gain of $12,000, while Mason reduces his stock basis from $32,000 to $12,000 and has no income tax consequences. Example 1
Capon reports the $600,000 dividend as gross income but claims a dividends received deduction under § 243 of $420,000 (70% × $600,000). None of the other items affect taxable income. Thus, taxable income is $1,380,000 ($1,200,000 taxable income before dividends + $600,000 dividend – $420,000 dividends received deduction). Capon Corporation’s E & P as of December 31 is $2,240,000, computed as follows: $400,000 (beginning balance in E & P) + $1,380,000 (taxable income) + $420,000 (dividends received deduction) + $90,000 (tax-exempt interest) – $50,000 (interest on indebtedness to purchase tax-exempt bonds).
