Carlson's general business credit allowed for the year is $fill in the blank 1 and his unused general business credit of $fill in the blank 2 may be carried back or forward.

Answer 1

Answer: $21,890

Step-by-step explanation:

The general business credit allowed for the year is the net income tax less the higher amount between the tentative minimum tax and the net regular tax liability after adjustments.

Adjustment to net regular tax liability:

= 25% * (Net regular tax - 25,000)

= 25% * (207,955 - 25,000)

= $45,738.75

Greater figure is the tentative minimum tax of $197,010

Business credit allowed is:

= 218,900 - 197,010

= $21,890
