Paper For Above instruction

Fedderman Corporation, an accrual-basis calendar year repair-service corporation, commenced operations on Monday, January 3, 20X1. Its valid S corporation election became effective retroactively as of that date. During the fiscal year 20X1, Fedderman recorded the following financial figures: gross receipts of $9,800, interest income of $250, charitable contributions of $850, and supplies valued at $2,500. To determine the net business income that Fedderman must report on its 20X1 Form 1120S, Schedule K, we need to analyze the components of income and allowable deductions in accordance with IRS rules governing S corporations.

The gross receipts of $9,800 represent the primary revenue generated through repair services. Interest income of $250, derived from investments, is also includable in gross income, according to Internal Revenue Service (IRS) rules. Charitable contributions of $850, while deductible, are generally reported separately on the return's Schedule K and Schedule K-1, and are subject to limitations based on IRS regulations related to the corporation's income and charitable giving. Supplies valued at $2,500 are considered deductible business expenses, reducing taxable income, provided they are properly accounted for and used in the business operations.

The formula for calculating the net business income involves summing all income components and subtracting allowable expenses and deductions:

Net Business Income = Gross Receipts + Interest Income - Charitable Contributions - Business Expenses (Supplies).

Applying the values:

Net Business Income = $9,800 (gross receipts) + $250 (interest) - $850 (charitable contributions) - $2,500 (supplies) = $6,700.

Thus, Fedderman's net business income reported on Schedule K of Form 1120S for the year 20X1 should be $6,700. This figure aligns with the IRS guidelines for income inclusion and deductions allowable for S corporation reporting, ensuring proper tax accounting and compliance.
