An S corporation is liable to pay tax on excess net passive income if its passive income is in excess of 25% of its gross receipts.
Tax rate on excess net passive income is 35%
In the given case,
Passive Investment Income = $300,000
Gross Receipts = $500,000
25% of the gross receipts = $500,000 * 25% = $125,000
Excess net passive income = $300,000 - $125,000
Excess net passive income = $175,000
Tax on excess net passive income = $175,000 * 35%
Tax on excess net passive income = $61,250
Hence, the correct answer is B) $61,250
