(reduced by liabilities)– Treated as taxable dividend if corporation has
sufficient E&P– Basis of distributed property = FMV (without
reduction for liabilities)

no gain or loss upon a distribution to its shareholders
– If corporation distributes appreciated property to its shareholders, the corporation is treated as if it sold the property to the shareholder for its FMV immediately before the distribution, and the corporation recognizes any realized gain
![Page 24: Chapter 16 Corporations. Learning Objectives Determine the types of entities that can be classified as a corporation for federal income tax purposes Calculate](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062315/5697bfe91a28abf838cb6813/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)

respect to shareholders’ interest– Results in a complete termination of
shareholders’ interest– Is made in partial liquidation of corporation
![Page 26: Chapter 16 Corporations. Learning Objectives Determine the types of entities that can be classified as a corporation for federal income tax purposes Calculate](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062315/5697bfe91a28abf838cb6813/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)

![Page 28: Chapter 16 Corporations. Learning Objectives Determine the types of entities that can be classified as a corporation for federal income tax purposes Calculate](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062315/5697bfe91a28abf838cb6813/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Tax Planning Considerations

deductions• Reduced taxes on
taxpayer stock sales
![Page 29: Chapter 16 Corporations. Learning Objectives Determine the types of entities that can be classified as a corporation for federal income tax purposes Calculate](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062315/5697bfe91a28abf838cb6813/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Compliance & Procedural Considerations
• Filing requirements– Corporation must file Form 1120– Not based on gross income– Due date is one month earlier than
individual returns– Due date for estimated tax installment
also one month earlier
![Page 30: Chapter 16 Corporations. Learning Objectives Determine the types of entities that can be classified as a corporation for federal income tax purposes Calculate](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062315/5697bfe91a28abf838cb6813/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Compliance & Procedural Considerations
• Schedule M-1 and M-2 reconciliation– M-1 used to reconcile financial accounting
net income with taxable income (before NOL & dividends-received deductions)
– M-2 reconciles the beginning year balance in retained earnings with year-end balance
– M-3 starting 2004 Corporations with total assets of $10million or more are required to disclose information about book-tax differences
• Maintenance of records/E&P
