In this episode you will learn: - How to calculate the 10% limitation for corporate charitable contributions based on modified taxable income. - The three ownership tiers for the Dividends-Received Deduction (DRD) and how they determine the deduction percentage (50%, 65%, or 100%). - The critical difference in capital loss treatment: corporations can only offset capital gains, unlike the individual $3,000 deduction against ordinary income. - The carryover rules for corporate net capital losses, which are carried back 3 years and forward 5 years as short-term losses. - The modern rules for Net Operating Losses (NOLs), which are carried forward indefinitely but limited to 80% of taxable income.
