Tracy and lance, equal shareholders in macaw corporation, receive $600,000 each in distributions on december 31 of the current year. macaw’s current year taxable income is $1 million and it has no accumulated e & p. last year, macaw sold an appreciated asset for $1,200,000 (basis of $400,000). payment for one-half of the sale of the asset was made this year. how much of tracy’s distribution will be taxed as a dividend? a. $0b. $300,000c. $500,000d. $600,000e. none of the above

B. $300,000

Explanation:

Macaw Corporation increased its E & P last year for the entire amount of the deferred gain on the installment sale. Since one-half of the $800,000 gain is included in taxable income in the current year, taxable income should be reduced by this amount to determine current E & P. Therefore, Macaw Corporation’s current year E & P is $600,000 ($1 million taxable income – $400,000 of installment sale gain). Because one-half of the current E & P is allocated to Tracy’s distribution, she has a $300,000 dividend
