examination by the IRS, history homework help

/in /by

Suppose you are a CPA hired to represent a client that is currently under examination by the IRS. The client is the president and 95% shareholder of a building supply sales and warehousing business. He also owns 50% of the stock of a construction company. The client’s son owns the remaining 50% of the stock of the construction company. The client has received a Notice of Proposed Adjustments (NPA) on three (3) significant issues related to the building supply business for the years under examination. The issues identified in the NPA are unreasonable compensation, stock redemptions, and a rental loss. Additional facts regarding the issues are reflected below:

  • Unreasonable compensation: The taxpayer receives a salary of $10 million composed of a $5 million base salary plus 5% of gross receipts not to exceed $5 million. The total gross receipts of the building supply business are $300 million. The NPA by the IRS disallows the salary based on 5% of gross receipts as a constructive dividend.
  • Stock redemptions: During the audit period, the construction company redeemed 50% of the outstanding stock owned by the client and 50% of the stock owned by the client’s son, leaving each with the same ownership percentage of 50%. The IRS treated the redemption as a distribution under Section 301 of the IRC.
  • Rental loss: The rental loss results from a building leased to the construction company owned by the client and his son.

Use the Internet and Strayer databases to research the rules and income tax laws regarding unreasonable compensation, stock redemptions treated as dividends and related party losses. Be sure to use the six (6) step tax research process in Chapter 1 and demonstrated in Appendix A of your textbook as a guide for your written response.

Write a three to four (3-4) page paper in which you:

  1. Based on your research and the facts stated in the scenario, prepare a recommendation for the client in which you advise either acceptance of the proposed adjustments or further appeal of the issue based on the potential for prevailing on appeal.
  2. Create a tax plan for the future redemption of the client’s stock owned in the construction company that will not be taxed according to Section 301 of the IRC.
  3. Propose a strategy for the client to receive similar amounts in compensation in the future and avoid the taxation as a constructive dividend.

Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:

  • Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides; citations and references must follow APA or school-specific format. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.
  • Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover page and the reference page are not included in the required assignment page length.

Week two Assignment

Part 2 – Multimedia Elements and Branding

Continuing with the course project you started in Week 1, this week the focus will be on finalizing the multimedia elements and the branding options for the pages in the website. This week, complete the following tasks by adding to your HTML page and Microsoft PowerPoint presentation from Week 1.

Week 2 Tasks:

Implementation

Using the HTML basics you got from Week 1, create a new page with the title Express Holiday Travel and save it as index.html. Instead of using placeholder text, add the content of your home page in text form to the page. Add CSS to format the text and practice using the <img> and <a> tags to place an image and a link into your page. Next week, you will have to create the final implementation of your index.html page, so it is important to work through using these tags and tools now!

Design

Modify your PowerPoint presentation used to design and plan your site to include the following:

  • Include at least four images for each destination page.
  • Include descriptive or introductory text for each destination (this should be two to three paragraphs in length per destination).
  • Create a logo for the website.
  • Design three navigation options for the website. Each option should include links for all the pages. You will use one of these options in the final design.
  • Design two banners for the website. You will eventually use one of them.
  • Select two or three video clips to use in the website. Associate keywords with them that relate to your course project, such as Seaside Resort, Rocky Mountain, Biking, and so on.
  • Select the embed code to stream the videos and paste it as text in your Microsoft PowerPoint slides for use in HTML files later. Ensure that you cite the sources of the videos.
  • Select and download an audio clip that you would include in the website. For example, you can play the sound of chirping of birds when showing an image of a forest. However, restrict the size of the audio files to 200 KB each. Be sure to cite the source of the audio file.
  • Adjust the layout of the website, based on feedback on the initial site plan.

Submit your PowerPoint design file along with the HTML page from the Implementation section to the submission folder. Cite any sources in APA format.
