FAQ
What Is the Accumulated Earnings Tax? The accumulated earnings tax is a 20% tax—or penalty—that the IRS imposes on corporations that retain "excessive" earnings. This usually comes in the form of holding on to business earnings instead of paying out dividends to avoid income taxes at the shareholder level.
The other adjustments account tracks tax-exempt income and nondeductible expenses. Shareholders must track previously taxed undistributed income to determine taxability of future distributions.
After conversion from a C corp, an S corporation can inherit income such as rent, interest, retained earnings, funds derived from stock sales, etc. Passive income that makes up more than 25% of an S corp's gross income is subject to tax.
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.
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).
Choose a business name for your S corp. File articles of incorporation. Issue stock for your S corp. Elect a board of directors and appoint officers. Meet other S corp eligibility requirements. Obtain an employer identification number. Elect S corp status. Apply for state and local S corp business licenses.
To convert a sole proprietorship to an S Corp, you must form an LLC or corporation, meet S Corp election requirements, and file IRS Form 2553 (Election by a Small Business Corporation).
