We have noticed an increase in IRS examinations of C Corporations. On the IRS examiner's checklist is a question to consider Accumulated Tax. If the C Corp has more than $250,000 in accumulated taxable income, you can expect to fight with the IRS on this issue. This would be a very expensive fight to lose on!
"I recently purchased your Bardahl Formula while involved in a
corporate audit with an IRS auditor who was very aggressive and had his own
interpretation of the case and formula. I used your program and your excellent
technical support back-up to prove up our position which saved the client an
assessment for accumulated earnings tax in excess of $260,000."

OverviewThe Bardahl Formula is one of the primary tools to defend against the Accumulated Earnings Tax. The Accumulated Earnings Tax, I.R.C. Section 531, for being profitable and not paying a sufficient level of dividends. The Accumulated Earnings Tax is more like a penalty since it is assessed by the IRS often years after the income tax return was filed. The Accumulated Earnings Tax is computed by multiplying the Accumulated Taxable Income (IRC Section 535) by 20%. Accumulated Earnings Tax can be reduced by reducing Accumulated Taxable Income. IRC Section 535(c)(1) provides that reasonable needs of the business may be used to reduce Accumulated Taxable Income. The Bardahl Formula can be used objectively determine what the reasonable needs of the business are for the business cycle. The business cycle begins when inventory is received and ends when the accounts receivable for the sale of the finished product is collected. This computer program is more than just a Bardahl Formula worksheet. It is both user friendly and powerful. The Bardahl Formula Calculator has been used to defeat the IRS. The Bardahl Formula has two variations, the Bardahl Formula - Peak Method and the Bardahl Formula - Average Method. The Bardahl Formula - Peak Method was first computed in the Tax Court decision for Bardahl Manufacturing Corp. v. Comr. The Peak Method looks at the longest business cycle during the year. This variation of the Bardahl Formula usually gives the best results to the taxpayer. The Peak Method is also more time consuming to analyze. The Bardahl Formula - Average Method was first computed in the Tax Court decision for Empire Steel Castings v. Comr. The Bardahl Formula - Average Method is also known as the Bardahl Formula as modified by Empire Steel Castings. The Average Method is easier and faster to computer than the Peak Method, but the Average Method is not as favorable for the taxpayer. What strategy should a tax professional use when the Accumulated Earnings Tax is either a possibility or has actually been assessed?
