Gavyn Kaufman · Answer 1

Taxable income will be $400,000

Explanation:

As per IRS, the company receiving the dividend from any other comapany will get dividend received reduction (DRD) based on its % of holding. For a company holding less than 20% holding can get 70% deduction from the dividend received.

Income before DRD 400,000

Less DRD (70,000) (100000*70%)

Income after DRD 330,000

However, this DRD is special deduction given after the taxable income. so, taxable income will be $400,000
