Expert Solution

Shareholders who own less than 2% stock i.e. Ja (0.5%), Je (1%) and Ma (2%) will enjoy tax free fringe benefits. Shareholders who own more than 2% stock i.e. M (86%) and T (10.5%) will have to pay tax on value of health insurance and dental insurance benefit worth $10,000 and $5,000 respectively. However, no tax will have to be paid on workout facility worth $500 located at company headquarters.

J5 Inc., an S corporation will be allowed to claim deduction for fringe benefits provided to its shareholders.
