Question

What are subchapter c earnings and profits (e&p)? how does the existence of such e&p affect the s corporation's ability to earn passive income?

Answer 1

According to the tax attribute carryover regulations, Subchapter C E&P are profits that the S corporation inherited from a C corporation.

The existence of such e&p affect the s corporation's ability to earn passive income in the following ways -

1- If a S corporation has E&P at the end of a tax year, the excess net passive income tax applies if the passive investment income for the tax year exceeds 25% of the S corporation's gross receipts.

2- It stops the firm from generating an endless stream of passive investment income and avoiding paying the excess net passive income tax.
