Question

Clampett, Incorporated, converted to an S corporation on January 1, 2020. At that time, Clampett, Incorporated, had cash ($40,000), inventory (FMV $60,000, basis $30,000), accounts receivable (FMV $40,000, basis $40,000), and equipment (FMV $60,000, basis $80,000). In 2021, Clampett, Incorporated, sells its entire inventory for $60,000 (basis $30,000). Assume the corporate tax rate is 21 percent. Clampett, Incorporated's taxable income in 2021 would have been $1,000,000 if it had been a C corporation. How much built-in gains tax does Clampett, Incorporated, pay in 2021

Answer 1

Answer:

$2,100

Explanation:

Particulars                     Fair market value      Basis        Differences

Inventory                             $60,000              $30,000       $30,000

Account receivables           $40,000              $40,000       $0

Equipment                           $60,000              $80,000       ($20,000)

Taxable gain                                                                           $10,000

Tax rate                                                                                     21%    

Built in gains tax                                                                     $2,100  

So therefore, the built-in-gains tax that Clampett (Incorporated) will pay in 2021 is $2,100.
