FAQ
D. Interest and dividends. Choice "d" is correct. The accumulated adjustments account (AAA) is increased by separately stated and non-separately stated income and gains (except tax-exempt income and certain life insurance proceeds).
The other adjustments account tracks tax-exempt income and nondeductible expenses. Shareholders must track previously taxed undistributed income to determine taxability of future distributions.
Your S corporation handles profits differently from traditional corporations. Here's what makes it special: Rather than keeping a standard retained earnings account, S corporations use something called an Accumulated Adjustments Account (AAA) to track profits that haven't been distributed to shareholders.
The Accumulated Adjustments Account (AAA) tracks your S Corporation's gross income, expenses, and distributions. This account is found on Form 1120-S on Schedule M-2. The goal of the Accumulated Adjustment account is to determine if you took any taxable distributions during the year.
Accumulated E&P was taxed at the C corporation level and will be taxed again as a dividend to recipient S corporation shareholders when distributed. S corporations that have accumulated E&P are required to maintain an accumulated adjustments account (“AAA”).
Tax Incentives: The S Corporation ESOP Tax Shield For example, if an ESOP owns 50% of an S corporation, no tax is due on that 50% of the company's income; if the ESOP owns 100%, there is no tax at all (at the federal and, usually, the state level as well).
The IRC §1368(e)(3) election allows for an S corporation with E&P to quickly distribute its entire E&P.
Often the ESOP is terminated, and the participants receive the value of the shares and any other assets in their accounts (this may take some time). In some cases, the ESOP's assets are cashed out and then rolled into a plan in the acquiring company.
