A. During 2020, the company paid $21,000 in federal income taxes

B. During 2020, the company elected to expense $40,000 under Section 179

C. In 2020, the company received $1,000 in tax-exempt income

D. In 2020, the company paid $6,000 in business meals.

E. In 2020, the company had $5,000 in capital gains. From 2019, they had a $4,000 capital loss carryforward which they could utilize in 2020.

Expert Solution

A. Federal income tax - None

(If it is already reduced in books then the adjustment will be +21,000)

No adjustment is required because, federal income tax is not deductible expense

B. Section 179 - (40,000)

(If it is already taken as expense while calculating the taxable income of $100,000, then no adjustment would be required)

Section 179 is a deduction where the entire cost of asset is allowed as deduction in the year of purchase.

C. Tax exempt income - (1,000)

(If tax exemption was already taken while calculating the taxable income of $100,000 then no adjustment)

D. Business meals - (3,000)

Only 50% is deductible as per IRS, so 50% of 6,000

(If it is completely claimed then we would add 3,000 to income)

E. Carried forward loss - (4,000)

(If capital gains are not shown in E&P then for computing taxable income, we will add 1,000 (5,000-4,000) to the E&P)

Carried forward loss of 4,000 will be set off against current year capital gain
