There are two questions which seem the same but the answers are different.
1. A corp had gross business income of $260,000 and dividend income of $100,000 from 25% owned domestic corp. Business deduction is $170,000. What is dividends-received deduction?
The answer explains that the DRD is limited to the 80% of taxable income, so the DRD is 80%*(260000-170000)=72000 ($100,000 dividend income is not included in calculation.)
2. A corp had gross receipts of $390,000, operating expenses of $400,000, and dividend income of $120,000 from 20% owned domestic corp. What is Dividends-received deduction?
Th answer also stated that the DRD is limited to the 80% of taxable income, but the calculation of the taxable income is different from the above, which included the dividend received. So the DRD is 80%*(390000+120000-400000)=88000
Could anyone help to tell me which one is correct?
