16 – isn't that the tax you pay if you “sit on” your accumulated earnings and don't pay it out?

[CPAfit]

@mama

Accumulated E & P + current E & P = Accumulated earnings tac

AET charged at 20% for retaining more than $250K income for no good reason (i.e., not planning a huge capital project)

A tax of 20% on undistributed accumulated earnings. So, basically, the government gets it's taxes either way.

[Mamabear]

Yes sir! $250K for corps and $150 for PSCs is generally the “normal” amount they can accumulate for reasonable needs of the business before they are taxed at 20%. They can avoid paying the tax if they pay dividends to bring the accumulated taxable income to zero within 2.5 months of the after close of the taxable year.
