Kenny Merinoff and his daughter, Mia, own all outstanding stock of flamingo Corporation. Both Mia and Kenny are officers in the corporation and together with Kenny’s Uncle, Ira, comprise the entire board of directors. Flamingo uses the cash method of accounting and has a calendar year-end. In late 2013, the board of directors adopted the following legally enforceable resolution (agreed to in writing by each of the officers):
Salary payments made to an officer of the corporation that shall be disallowed in whole or in part as a deductible expense for Federal Income tax purposes shall be reimbursed by such officer to the corporation to the full extent of the disallowance. It shall be the duty of the board of directors to enforce payment of each such amount.
In 2019, Flamingo paid Kenny $800,000 in compensation. Mia received $650,000. On an audit in late 2020, the IRS found compensation of both officers to be excessive. It disallowed deductions for $400,000 of the payment to Kenny and…
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.)
Graham is the sole shareholder of Logan Corporation. For the past five years, Logan has reported little or no taxable income as a result of paying Graham a salary of $500,000 per year. During a recent IRS audit, the revenue agent determined that Graham’s educational and business experience, and his time devoted to managing Logan, 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.
Required:
Calculate the additional income tax liability for Logan as a result of this constructive dividend treatment. Assume Logan's marginal tax rate for the year in question was 34 percent. (Ignore any payroll tax consequences.)
What are the tax consequences to Graham as a result of the constructive dividend treatment? Calculate the change in Graham’s income tax liability as a result of this change. Assume that Graham’s marginal tax rate on ordinary…
