Question

Required information (The following information applies to the questions displayed below.) In year 1(the current year), OCC Corp. made a charitable donation of $200,000 to the Jordan Spieth Family Foundation (a qualifying charity). For the year, OCC reported taxable income of $1,500,000 before deducting any charitable contributions, before deducting its $20,000 dividends received deduction, and before deducting its $40,000 NOL carryover from last year. c. In year 2, OCC did not make any charitable contributions. It reported taxable income of $300,000 before any charitable contribution deductions and before a $15,000 dividends received deduction. In years 3, 4, and 5, OCC reported taxable losses of $50,000. Finally, in year 6 it reported $1,000,000 in taxable income before any charitable contribution deductions. It did not have any dividends received deduction. OCC did not actually make any charitable donations in year 6. What book-tax difference associated with charitable contributions will OCC report in year 6? Book-tax Difference Year 6

Answer 1

Answer:

$24,000

OCC would be allowed to deduct its remaining $24,000 charitable contribution carryover because the taxable income is not limiting. Consequently, it would report a favorable temporary book-tax difference of $24,000. If OCC had not been able to deduct some of the carryover in year 6, the carryover would have expired unused.
