Until the end of year 0, Magic Carpets (MC) was a C corporation with a calendar year. At the beginning of year 1 it elected to be taxed as an S corporation. MC uses the LIFO method to value its inventory. At the end of year 0, under the LIFO method, its inventory of rugs was valued at $150,000. Under the FIFO method, the rugs would have been valued at $180,000. How much LIFO recapture tax must MC pay? Magic Carpets’ regular taxable income in year 0 was $1,000,000.
SOLUTION:-
LIFO recapture tax will be calculated as follows: | |||||
(FIFO Inventory value - LIFO inventory value) x Mc's marginal tax rate | |||||
($180,000 - $150,000) x Mc's marginal tax rate | |||||
$30,000 x Mc's marginal tac rate | |||||
Thus, $30,000 will be taxed at 39.6% i.e., $11,880, which will be payable | |||||
in 4 equal installment of $2.970 and the date for making first installment | |||||
is 15th march, year1 |
