Answer 1

Answer: Option d) A corporation is allowed to deduct 50% of dividends paid to shareholders provided that it is a taxable domestic corporation.

Explanation:

A domestic corporation is a company that conducts taxable affairs in its home country. A domestic business is often taxed differently than a non-domestic business and may be required to pay fees on the products it imports.

A corporation is a legal entity that is separate and distinct from its owners.

A corporation is allowed to deduct more than 50% of dividends paid to shareholders provided that it is a taxable domestic corporation.
