Badger Corporation was incorporated in the current year. It reports an $8,000 NOL on its initial tax return. Badger distributed $2,500 to its shareholders. Is it possible for this distribution to be taxed as a dividend to Badger's shareholders? Explain. A. Yes. The taxable loss must first be adjusted to compute current E&P which would need to be at least $2,500 for this to be considered to be a dividend. B. Yes. The taxable loss must first be adjusted to compute current E&P which would need to be at least $10,500 for this to be considered to be a dividend. C. No. The taxable loss of $8,000 exceeds the distribution amount of $2,500, so the distribution would be a return of capital. D. No. The taxable loss must first be adjusted to include accumulated E&P. The adjustment needs to be at least $8,000 to avoid a taxable loss but would still be deemed a return of capital.
