3. John Deere is operated as a C corporation. The company received an order for a $12,000 tractor from a customer on June 30, 2020 and delivered the tractor to the customer on July 31, 2020. The company sent the customer a bill saying they had to pay for the tractor by no later than January 31, 2021. John Deere uses a calendar year tax period. Based on phone calls with the customer in December of 2020, the customer explained that it may have to file bankruptcy proceedings but was trying to work its way out of financial hardship before taking that option. The customer said that at worst it would be able to pay at least $9,000 of the bill. On January 15, 2021, John Deere received a check from the customer for $9,000 and was informed it would receive no additional payment based on the outcome of the bankruptcy case.
