Suppose your firm had the following taxable income amounts: 2015 ($5 million) operating loss 2016 $4 million 2017 $4 million 2018 $4 million After you "carry forward" the operating loss, what is the effective taxable income for 2017

Respuesta :

Answer:

$7,000,000

Step-by-step explanation:

The taxable income is the amount of money (income earned or unearned) by an individual or an organization that creates a potential tax liability.

The formula is shown below:

Taxable Income Formula = Gross Total Income – Total Exemptions – Total Deductions

Note that $5,000,000 for 2015 is an operating loss which is a deduction.

Gross Total Income = $4000000+$4000000+$4000000 = $12,000,000

Total Exemption = 0

Total Deductions = $5,000,000

Taxable Income Formula = $12,000,000 - $5,000,000 = $7,000,000
