Any tips/tricks for learning more about the technical side of C-Corps?

I know there’s the Subchapter K book partnership people live by so I was curious if there was anything for us C-Corp specialists.

Watch out for these traps (educational purposes only):

1. Distributions are taxable as dividends to extent of current or accumulated E&P. So even if a company has large historical losses if the company has positive E&P in current year and pays a distribution it is a taxable dividend.

2. If company acquires stock of Target solely for their own voting stock and Target survives that is a B Reorg and the Acquiring Company’s basis in Target stock is equal to the basis of the former Target shareholders (which might be low or even zero). As long as Acquiring owns 80 percent of Target and could liquidate tax free under 332 they don’t need to record Deferred Tax on outside basis difference in Target stock. But if they ever decide to sell they need to record DTL.

3. If you are acquiring a Target from another group mid year be careful about paying for carryovers. Target consolidated group has until the end of their tax year to use up any carryovers in which case nothing will get allocated out to Target.

4. 382 is nasty - don’t go it alone get help from a specialist. Lots of planning opportunities but also lots of pitfalls.

Both of the above for good technical knowledge. If you need ASC 740, each firm has a guide they publish & update each year.

I recently saw a job opening at a company that I really love, and would like to apply. The recruiter has posted it on her Linkedin several times, each time with multiple hashtags about diversity. I am straight off the Mayflower white. Does applying look super tone-deaf? Is this an unofficial way of stating that they’re only considering non-white individuals for the role?

Compliance question here, I have always thought of the SALT deduction on the fed return as a perm item & have treated as such in such sch M-3. I see that some people put it as a temp on sch M-3. What is the justification for treating it as a temp on the M-3. You don’t set up a deferred on the def RF for the state tax deduct & it is also a rate impacting item (I know that some temps can be rate impacting). But this all leaves me to side with perm. Does anyone know the logic behind temp treatment?
