Accrued Compensation - 2 Month Rule


Accrued

compensation must be
paid within 2 months of the
end of the year, or the taxpayer
cannot deduct until the year the

3-13

Charitable Contributions Generally

170 a deduction is permitted for a


contribution made to a bona fide charity
or a state or local government or political
subdivision thereof (e.g., public schools).
A bona fide charity usually means a
charitable organization as defined by
501(c)(3).
The taxpayer (TP) must have a
charitable intent to make the
contribution (e.g., a benevolent and
disinterested motivation).
Copyright 2015 Pearson
Education, Inc.

3-14

Charitable Contributions Generally


If

the taxpayer has a different motivation


to contribute other than charitable, it may
still be possible to deduct the amounts
under 162.
Generally, a charitable contribution can
only be deducted when paid, not when
pledged.
Exception: Can deduct the year when
accrued if:
a) BOD authorizes the contribution; AND
b) TP pays within 3 months of the EOY.
Copyright 2015 Pearson
Education, Inc.

3-15

Example
ABC corporation, as part of a marketing
campaign, promises to contribute $1
for every unit sold to a local charity.
They cannot deduct the contribution
under 170 since their motive for
making the donation is to promote a
product rather than disinterested
generosity. However, they may be
able to deduct the contribution as a
marketing expense under 162.

Dividends Received Deduction


(DRD)
DRD

permits a TP to exclude
some or all of dividends received
on stock it owns in another
company.
Without DRD, there could be up
to three layers of tax on the same
dollar of dividends (investment
company, TP, and then TPs
shareholder).
Copyright 2015 Pearson
Education, Inc.

3-31

DRD - Generally
TP

may deduct dividends


received from stock it owns in
another company as follows:

Ownership %

computing the 70% limitation.

Exception to DRD
limitation
No

taxable income limitation on


the DRD if the DRD creates or
increases an NOL for the year.
Note that low TI could cause the
TP to permanently lose DRD
deductions (TP may be better off
finding a way of pushing itself
into an NOL).
Copyright 2015 Pearson
Education, Inc.

3-36

Affiliated Groups
A

group of corporations are affiliated


if a parent company owns at least
80% stock (voting and value) of one
or more subsidiaries, and that any
other corporation is owned at least
80% by other group members.
The DRD = 100% and is not subject
to a taxable income limitation.
The 100% DRD is taken before the
80%/70% DRD.
Copyright 2015 Pearson
Education, Inc.

3-37

Other DRD Issues


No

DRD for dividends received


from foreign corporations since it
is not taxable by the US to begin
with.
No DRD for debt-financed stock.
Prevents TP from taking an
interest deduction but avoiding
recognition of dividend income.
Copyright 2015 Pearson
Education, Inc.

3-38

Other DRD Issues (contd)


No

DRD for stock held for 45 days


or less. Testing period begins 45
days before a stock becomes exdividend and runs 91 days.
Prevents TP from taking a DRD
and then getting a capital loss if
selling ex-dividend.
Ex-dividend means purchaser is
not entitled to a previously
declared dividend.

Net Operating Losses


(NOL)

Do include DRDs in calculating CY
NOL.
No USPAD if there is a CY NOL
because no TI.
Copyright 2015 Pearson

3-40

Carrybacks and
Carryforwards
NOL

carries back 2 years and carries


forward 20 years.
Any unused NOLs expire after 20 years
and expired amounts become
permanently non-deductible.
TP can elect to forgo carryback and
just carryforward. May want to do this
to avoid having to amend state and
local returns, losing credits or higher
future marginal rates than in the past.
Copyright 2015 Pearson
Education, Inc.

3-41

Obtaining a Quick Refund


File

an extension.
Put together a quickie return
based on estimates.
File the quickie return with the IRS.
TPs often use specialty firms to get
their returns processed more quickly.
Prepare the real return and file.
The real return automatically
supersedes the quickie return so no
need to amend S&L returns.
Copyright 2015 Pearson

3-42

Sequencing Deduction
Calculations
There is an order by which the
TP takes categories of
deductions:

1. All deductions other than


charitable, DRD, NOL, and USPAD.
2. Charitable contributions.
3. DRD.
4. NOL.
5. USPAD.

Controlled Groups Generally


Generally,

there are rules to prevent


controlled groups from artificially
allocating revenue and expenses
among group members in order to
minimize regular taxes and maximize
credits.
Whether a corporation is part of a
controlled group is tested on December
31. Corporation also has to have been
a group member for at least the
year.

Controlled Groups Generally

on sales between

3rd Q based on first 6 months of the year.
4th Q based on first 9 months of the year.

Most helpful for TP who have income that


increases toward the end of the year.
Can only use this method if less than normal

if greater than normal installment.

Tax Provision
Also

known as Federal Income Tax


Expense (FITE or Provision) on
the financial statements.
Financial Accounting may
calculate tax expense differently
than the amount that is actually
due to the IRS.
Differences are associated with
book-tax temporary differences.

Tax Provision (contd)


Broken

down into current and deferred


components.
Current ties into what is actually due to the
IRS that year.
Deferred is associated with book-tax
temporary differences and a state and local
component.
The Deferred component can further be
broken down into Deferred Tax Assets
(DTAs) or Deferred Tax Liabilities (DTLs)
which are part of the balance sheet.
Copyright 2015 Pearson

3-69

Tax Provision (contd)


Rules

of the Provision are dictated by


ASC 740 issued by FASB.
Major components:
1. Current tax liability (due to IRS) or asset
(refund from IRS)
2. DTA or DTL associated with temporary
differences and carryforwards
3. Reduce DTA by amount TP does not expect
to get based on research and valuation
4. Liability for Uncertain Tax Positions (UTP)

Deferred Tax Assets


TP

will realize the tax benefit of an


event some time in the future.
If there is a possibility that the TP
wont get the full benefit, the DTA
must be reduced by a valuation
allowance.
This reduction is only required if
there is a greater than 50% chance
(more likely than not MLTN) the
TP will NOT sustain its tax position.
Copyright 2015 Pearson
Education, Inc.

3-72

DTA Example
TP has tax credit carryforward of $1m.
However, the TP is running losses and may
not be able to use all of the credits before
they expire. There is a 48% chance that
some or all of the credits will expire. The
TP needs to reflect the DTA at $750K based
on its analysis.
DTA 1,000,000
Valuation allowance 250,000
Federal income tax exp 750,000
Copyright 2015 Pearson
Education, Inc.

3-73

Uncertain Tax Positions


(UTP)
The

TP may take certain positions


in its tax return which may or may
not pass IRS scrutiny. FASB may
require the TP to reduce or
eliminate the tax benefit.
The TP cannot recognize the tax
benefit for financial accounting
purposes unless it is more likely
than not the position will be
sustained.
Copyright 2015 Pearson
Education, Inc.

3-74

UTP (contd)
If

MLTN threshold is not met, the tax


benefit can later be recognized for
financial accounting purposes if:

1. The position later meets the MLTN


threshold.
2. Position is settled with the IRS/court.
3. Statute of Limitations runs.
MLTN is a cliff. If below 50%, then no tax
benefit is recognized. If above, then
some or all of the tax benefit can be
recognized.
