CPA tax questions
Article Abstract:
Official tax questions from the Uniform CPA examination are presented with unofficial answers. The questions cover affiliated groups, partners' distributive share, and corporate taxable income. For a corporation filing a consolidated income tax return, 100% of the dividends paid by a subsidiary to the parent corporation are tax free. Partners are required to report on their tax returns their distributive share of the partnership's income or loss regardless of whether it was or was not distributed after the partnership completes its computation of taxable income or loss. In general, for financial reporting practices, a corporation's taxable income is determined in the same manner as its book income.

CPA tax questions
Article Abstract:
Questions and unofficial answers from the uniform CPA examination concerning the deductions for qualified moving expenses and real property taxes are presented. Qualified moving expenses generally can be deducted if they are incurred as the result of a move related to the taxpayer's employment. Qualified moving expenses include expenses incurred for moving household goods, traveling, meals, and lodging. Taxpayers are allowed deductions on real estate taxes, and taxes levied on rental property or property used in a trade or business are deductible from gross income. Real estate taxes are usually deductible by only those taxpayers on whom the taxes are imposed.
