M is the sole shareholder of N Corporation. For the past five years, N has reported little or no taxable income as a
result of paying M a salary of $500,000 per year. During a recent IRS audit, the revenue agent determined that
M's educational and business experience, and his time devoted to managing N, justified a salary of only
$200,000. Thus, the agent recharacterized $300,000 of the payments from the corporation as a dividend.
Assume that all dividends are taxed to the individuals at a 20% tax rate. What are the annual tax savings to M as
a result of the constructive dividend treatment? Calculate the change in M's income tax liability as a result of this
change. Assume that M's marginal tax rate on ordinary income is 37 percent. (Ignore any payroll tax
consequences.)
During a recent IRS audit, the revenue agent decided that the Parker family used their closely held corporation, Falco, to avoid shareholder tax by accumulating earnings beyond the reasonable needs of the business. Falco’s taxable income was $970,000, it paid no dividends, and it had no business need to retain income. Falco's marginal tax rate in prior years was 34 percent. Assume the accumulated earnings tax rate is 20% for all applicable years in this problem.
Required:
Compute Falco’s accumulated earnings tax assuming that it had accumulated $6 million after-tax income in prior years. Assume that for these years at issue, a corporation is exempt up to $250,000 of accumulated earnings without demonstrating a reasonable business need for the accumulation.
