    Determine how much of the amount paid to corporation D for advertising and promotional services can D lawn and Garden Supply deduct in 2019

    (200 lawn x $15) receives $3,000 for advertising and promotion from D lawn and Garden Supply; however corporation D spent only $2,750

    Thus D lawn and Garden Supply can only deduct $2750 because economic performance for services occur when the services are provided to the taxpayer.

    Determine how much of the amount paid to corporation D for advertising and promotional services can D lawn and Garden Supply deduct in 2020

    (350 lawn x $15) receives $5,250 for advertising and promotion from D lawn and Garden Supply; however corporation D spent only $5,500

    However, D lawn and Garden Supply can deduct $5,500 for promotion expense, which includes $5,250 paid in 2020 and $250 paid in 2019
