Yes Divya, the date of
distribution
is mentioned as July 1 of the year. So the apportionment
of
current E&P makes sense. But there was only one dividend
declared in this question. The current E&P that is
prorated, what if there were two dividends in a yr. Say
one
on March1 and other in July1. For Dividend on march do we
prorate for 2 months and then how many months for July?



Allocate current E & P pro rata (using dollar amounts) to
each distribution. For March, 2 months as you mentioned
and
for July, 6 months accordingly.

For July should it not be from March till July ? Or are we calculating 6 months as Jan - July ?

I think it is Jan - July as u mentioned in ur previous post - no. of days in the tax year up to the date of distribution.

So for dividend declared on march 1, it is 2 months and

for dividend declared on July 1 , it is 6 months.

Is my understanding correct ?

true as I mentioned above that - Negative current E&P is
assumed to occur evenly throughout the year so it is
allocated on the basis of the number of days in the tax
year to the date of distribution.
