Application of New Corporate Tax Rate to Fiscal Year Companies, Part II
As we previously discussed, under the recently enacted Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, the new 21% corporate tax rate applies on a blended basis to fiscal year companies (i.e., companies whose taxable years do not end on December 31st). The IRS has now issued guidance for how fiscal year companies can calculate the amount of federal income tax they owe.
IRS Notice 2018-38 provides examples to illustrate these calculations. The accompanying IRS news release can be accessed here.
