What amount of tax on excess passive investment income does Maple have for the current year?
Sol :
If a corporation has always been an S corporation, the excess net
passive income tax does not apply.
Excess net passive income tax applies to an S corporation if:
• The corporation has accumulated earnings and profits at the close of its tax year,
• The corporation has passive investment income for the tax year in excess of 25% of gross receipts, and
• The corporation has excess net passive income. Excess net passive income (ENPI) tax computation. Tax is 35% of excess net passive income.
The formula for Excess net passive income(ENPI)= NPI × [PII – (0.25 × GR)] ÷ PII
Net Passive Income(NPI) = Passive Investment Income - Deductions related to Passive Income
= $625,000-25,000 = $600,000
ENPI = $600,000 * [625,000-(0.25*1,000,000)] / 625,000
= $600,000 * 0.6
= $360,000
Net Passive Income Tax = $360,000*35%
= $126,000
