For year 19, Fallon Corp., an accrual basis calendar-year C corporation, had an $8,000 unexpired charitable contribution carryover from year 18. Fallon’s Year 19 taxable income before the deduction for charitable contributions was $200,000. On December 15, year 19, Fallon’s board of directors authorized a $15,000 cash contribution to a qualified charity, which was made on January 8, Year 20. What is the maximum allowable deduction that Fallon may take as a charitable contribution on its Year 19 tax return?
C corporations may deduct up to 10% of their gross income before deductions, so Fallon has a maximum of $20,000 it may deduct. Fallon’s board authorized a transfer of $15,000 cash prior to the end of the tax year, and companies are allowed to deduct accrued contributions if paid within 3 ½ months after year-end, meaning they may take the entire $15,000. Fallon also had an $8,000 carryover from the prior year, and corporations may carryover excess charitable contributions for up to five years after the contribution was made. As a result, Fallon can also take an additional $5,000 from the carryover amount and apply that to the Year 19 tax year, for the maximum deduction of $20,000.
