    Total deductible organization expenses is $ 6,611

    Explanation:

    Upto $ 5000 in qualifying organization expenses are deductible in the year they are incurred, with the amount reduced by the amount by which total organizational expenses exceed $50,000. With a total of $51,000 Crimson corp could deduct $ 4000.

    In addition, the remaining $ 47,000 is amortized over 15 years or 180 months, begining in the period in which the entity commences operations. Since crimson began operaions in March 2016, amortization would be for 10 months (march 2016 - december 2016)

    Amoritzation for march 2016 to december 2016 = 10 / 180 * $47,000

    = $2611

    Total deductible organization expenses = $4,000 + $ 2,611

    = $ 6,611
