Problem 10-26 Comparison of Tax Treatment of Dividend Distribution and Qualifying Stock Redemption to Individual Shareholder (LO. 1, 7) Julio is in the 35% tax bracket. He acquired 1,000 shares of stock in Gray Corporation seven years ago at a cost of $250 per share. In the current year, Julio received a payment of $500,000 from Gray Corporation in exchange for 600 of his shares in Gray. Gray has E & P of $1,000,000. What tax liability would Julio incur on the $500,000 payment in each of the following situations? Assume that Julio has no capital losses. a. The stock redemption qualifies for sale or exchange treatment. The tax liability would be $ 52500 . b. The stock redemption does not qualify for sale or exchange treatment. The tax liability would be $ 75000 .
$500,000 (amount realized) $150,000 (basis in the 600 shares redeemed at $250 per share) = $350,000 (long-term capital gain) 15% = $52,500 (For individual taxpayers, the maximum tax rate for long- term capital gains is currently 15 percent; 0 percent for taxpayers in the 10 or 15 percent marginal tax bracket) b. The payment does not qualify for stock redemption ( i. e., sale or exchange treatment is not applicable) treatment. Julios tax liability would be $75,000, computed as follows: $500,000 (dividend) 15% = $75,000

Problem 10-27 Comparison of Tax Treatment of Dividend Distribution and Qualifying Stock Redemption to Corporate Shareholder (LO. 1, 7) Julio is in the 34% tax bracket. He acquired 1,000 shares of stock in Gray Corporation seven years ago at a cost of $250 per share. In the current year, Julio received a payment of $500,000 from Gray Corporation in exchange for 600 of his shares in Gray. Gray has E & P of $1,000,000. Assume that Julio has no capital losses. What tax liability would Julio incur on the $500,000 payment in each of the following situations? If Julio were a corporate shareholder (in the 34% tax bracket) rather than an individual shareholder and the stock ownership in Gray Corporation represented a 15% interest? a. The payment qualifies for stock redemption (i.e., sale or exchange) treatment. $ 119000 b. The payment does not qualify for stock redemption (i.e., sale or exchange treatment is not applicable) treatment. $ 51000
$500,000 (dividend) 15% = $75,000. Example 1 40. How would your answer to Problem 39 differ if Julio were a corporate shareholder (in the 34% tax bracket) rather than an individual shareholder, and the stock ownership in Gray Corporation represented a 15% interest? (LO. 1) a. Tax liability for a corporate shareholder would be $119,000, computed as follows: $500,000 (amount realized) $150,000 (basis in the stock) = $350,000 (long-term capital gain) 34% = $119,000. Corporations do not receive a preferential tax rate on long-term capital gains. b. Tax liability for a corporate shareholder on a $500,000 dividend from a corporation in which it has a 15% interest would be $51,000, computed as follows: $500,000 (dividend) $350,000 [70% ( **dividends received deduction) $500,000] = $150,000 34% = $51,000.
