Consider the following calculations

Explanation:

Net income per books $65,000

Add back:

Federal income taxes 9,700

Excess contributions 3,000

Life insurance premiums 10,000

$87,700

Subtract:

Tax-exempt interest (1,500)

Excess depreciation (4,500)

Taxable income $81,700

Dividend received deduction = 160000 x 80% = 128000 (full DRD doesn't create loss).

DRD will be 80% of taxable inome because percent partnership is 25% which is between 20 to 80%.
