Torsten owns 100% of Taupe Corporation, which had net operating income of $420,000 and longterm capital gain of $30,000 in 2013. Torsten has sufficient income from other sources to be in the 39.6% marginal tax bracket without regard to the results of Taupe Corporation. The corporation makes no distributions to Torsten during the year. Explain the tax treatment if Taupe Corporation is: a. An S corporation. The $420,000 net operating income is taxed at 39.6% on Torstens personal tax return. The $30,000 long-term capital gain is taxed at 15% on a K-1, which flows through to Torstens personal tax return. b. A C corporation. The $450,000 of combined net operating income and long-term capital gain is taxed at a corporate tax rate on Taupes corporate tax return. 42. Jonathan owns 100% of Lemon Company. In 2013, Lemon recognizes a long-term capital gain of $70,000 and no other income (or loss). Jonathan is in the 33% tax bracket and has no recognized capital gains (or losses) before considering his ownership interest in Lemon Company. What is the income tax result from the $70,000 if Lemon is: a. An LLC? (No election has been filed under the check-the-box Regulations.) The $70,000 longterm capital gain is taxed at 15% on a K-1, which flows through to Jonathans personal tax return. b. A C corporation? The $70,000 long-term capital gain is taxed at a corporate tax rate on Lemons corporate tax return. 48.
