Example 1: S Corporation has 1985 taxable income for Federal tax purposes of $ 100,000. However, not included in computation of such amount is a $ 5,000 I.R.C. § 179 expense and $ 10,000 of S Corporation dividends received from a different corporation that qualify for the Federal dividend exclusion. Barring any other difference between Federal taxable income and New Jersey taxable income per Schedule A, Form CBT-100, New Jersey taxable income before net operating loss deduction (NOL) and special deductions is computed as such:
$ 100,000 | Federal Taxable Income |
(5,000) | I.R.C. § 179 Expense |
10,000 | Qualifying S Corporation Dividends |
$ 105,000 | New Jersey Taxable Income Before NOL and Special Deductions |
Example 2: S Corporation is liquidating under I.R.C. § 337. When disposing of its real property during the 12 month distribution period, the corporation recaptures for Federal tax purposes $ 5,000 of I.R.C. § 291 expenses which an S Corporation does not include as part of Federal taxable income if it were an S Corporation for the three preceding years before the I.R.C. § 337 election and the I.R.C. § 1363(b) election. Since the S Corporation is treated as a C Corporation for State tax purposes, the I.R.C. § 291 recapture is part of taxable income before net operating loss and special deductions on Schedule A, Form CBT-100.
