Logan, a 50% shareholder in Military Gear Incorporated (MG), is comparing the tax consequences of losses from C corporations with losses from S corporations. Assume MG has a $116,000 tax loss for the year, Logan's tax basis in his MG stock was $158,000 at the beginning of the year, and he received $83,000 ordinary income from other sources during the year. Assuming Logan's marginal tax rate is 24 percent, how much more tax will Logan pay currently if MG is a C corporation compared to the tax he would pay if it were an S corporation?

$13,920

Explanation:

Calculation to determine how much more tax will Logan pay currently if MG is a C corporation compared to the tax he would pay if it were an S corporation

First step is to calculate what Logan's pay, if MG is a C corporation

Logan's pay, if MG is a C corporation =($83,000*24%)

Logan's pay, if MG is a C corporation = $19,920

Second step is to calculate Logan's pay, if MG is a S Corporation

Logan's pay, if MG is a S Corporation =[($83,000-$58,000)*24%]

($116,000*50% = $58,000)

Logan's pay, if MG is a S Corporation=$6,000

Now let calculate how much more tax will Logan pay currently

Logan pay currently = ($19,920-$6,000)

Logan pay currently = $13,920

Therefore how much more tax will Logan pay currently if MG is a C corporation compared to the tax he would pay if it were an S corporation will be $13,920
