(b) The corporation must pay corporate tax on $200,000 of income.
(c) Carlos must report $120,000 of income from the partnership.
(d)The partnership is not subject to a Federal entity-level income tax.
(e)None of the above.

Answer 1

The statement which is incorrect or not true is Option A.

Step-by-step explanation:

Juanita owns 60% of stock in the corporation, so from the profit of $200,000 in the current year, she should report

= $200,000 × 60%

= $120,000

But the Corporation distributed $45,000 to Juanita. Therefore, she should report only $45,000 for this year not $120,000.

Therefore, the first option is incorrect.
