Question

If c corporations retain their after-tax earnings, when will their individual shareholders be taxed on the retained earnings?

Answer 1

When will shareholders of C businesses that retain their post-tax profits be subject to individual income tax on those retained profits. When shareholders sell their shares for a profit, they must pay taxes.

C corporations will pay tax at a corporate rate of 21% as of the 2020 tax year (down from 35 percent in 2017). Then, dividends are taxed at the owner's personal marginal tax rate, which is up to 37%. (depending on the tax bracket).

Distributions of money or other assets to shareholders will lower the corporation's earnings and profits (E&P), but they won't affect its taxable income. Taxes are paid by the corporation on its taxable income and by the shareholders on any dividends they receive.
