Question

In Year 2, Buy Corp., an accrual basis calendar year C corporation, received $100,000 in dividend income from the common stock that it held in an unrelated domestic corporation. The stock was not debt financed and was held for over a year. Buy recorded the following information for Year 2:

  • Loss from Buy’s operations: (10,000)
  • Dividends received: 100,000
  • Taxable income (before dividends-received deduction): 90,000

Buy’s dividends-received deduction on its Year 2 tax return was:

Answer

Generally, the minimum dividends-received deduction (DRD) is 50%, which would mean in this case a $100,000 would result in a $50,000 DRD. However, the DRD is limited to the lesser of the DRD % applied to dividends received or the DRD % applied to taxable income without consideration of the DRD. Since we are told the taxable income is $90,000, the maximum DRD at 50% would be $45,000. (Had the company been eligible for a 65% DRD, the DRD could only have been $58,500, which was not an option.)
