Which of the following is NOT a separately stated item for S corporations?
A
Section 179 expense deduction
B
Long-term capital gains
C
Charitable contributions
D
Ordinary business income
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the concept of separately stated items for S corporations. These are items that must be reported separately on the shareholders' tax returns because they can affect each shareholder differently based on their individual tax situations.
Review the examples of separately stated items for S corporations. Common examples include Section 179 expense deductions, long-term capital gains, and charitable contributions. These items are reported separately because they have specific tax treatments.
Recognize that ordinary business income is not a separately stated item. Instead, it is the net income from the corporation's regular business operations and is reported as a single figure on the shareholders' tax returns.
Compare ordinary business income with separately stated items. Ordinary business income is aggregated and does not require individual reporting for specific tax treatments, unlike separately stated items.
Conclude that the correct answer is ordinary business income because it does not meet the criteria for being a separately stated item, unlike Section 179 expense deduction, long-term capital gains, and charitable contributions.
