Assignment 2 :Constructive Dividends, Redemptions, and Related
Party Losses
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
remaining 50% of the stock of the construction company is owned by
the client’s son. 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 redemption was treated as a
distribution under Section 301 of the IRC by the IRS.
· Rental loss: The rental loss results from a building leased to the
construction company owned by the client and his son.
Write a three 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.

9. 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.
4. Use the six (6) step tax research process to record your research for
communications to the client.
Use the Internet and 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.
