A sole proprietorship is not a taxable entity separate from the individual who owns the proprietorship. The owner of a sole proprietorship reports
all business income and expenses of the proprietorship on Schedule C of Form 1040. The net profit or loss from the proprietorship is then
eH y
transferred from Schedule C to Form 1040, which is used by the taxpayer to report taxable income. The proprietor reports all of the net profit
rs d
from the business, regardless of the amount actually withdrawn during the year.

Unlike proprietorships, partnerships, and S corporations, C corporations are subject to an entitylevel Federal income tax. A C corporation reports
eH y
its income and expenses on Form 1120. The corporation computes tax on the taxable income reported on the Form 1120 using the rate schedule
rs d
applicable to corporations. When a corporation distributes its income, the corporation's shareholders report dividend income on their own tax
stu
returns.
Since the company is a C corporation, it must pay corporate tax on its taxable income and Kirsten must report any dividends she receives from
is
the company as income.

The special tax rates (0%, 15%, and 20%) for dividends and longterm capital gains (called the alternative tax computation) are used when the
taxpayer’s regular tax rate exceeds the alternative tax rate. The 0 percent rate applies only when the taxpayer’s taxable income does not exceed
$77,200 (married, filing, jointly), $51,700 (head of household), and $38,600 (all other unmarried individuals).
Tax on corporation's net income of $200,000:
Tax on $200,000 ($200,000 × 21%) $42,000
Corporation's aftertax income ($200,000 – $42,000) $158,000

Kirsten's tax on $146,000 at rates applicable to dividends*/** $16,107
Kirsten's aftertax income ($158,000 – $16,107) $141,893

* As note above, the dividends (and net capital gain) tax rates do not follow the general income tax brackets. For single taxpayers in 2018, the
ar
0% rate on net capital gains and dividends only applies to the first $38,600 (instead of $38,700) of taxable income [see IRC Sec. 1(j)(5)(B)(i), as
added by TCJA]. Therefore, there is a small of amount ($100) of the taxpayer's income that is taxed at 12% (rather than 0% or 15%).

The corporation will have taxable income of $42,000 ($200,000 net income before compensation deduction – $158,000 salary) and pay a tax of
$8,820 ($42,000 × 21%).
Kirsten will have taxable income of $146,000 ($158,000 – $12,000 standard deduction). Her tax will be $29,330, and her aftertax income will be
$128,670 ($158,000 – $29,330).
Tax Computation:
$146,000 $82,500 = $63,500

$63,500 x 24% = $15,240
