Daniel is considering selling two stocks that have not fared well over recent years. A friend recently informed Daniel that one of his stocks has a special designation, which allows him to treat a loss up to $64,000 on this stock as an ordinary loss rather than the typical capital loss. Daniel figures that he has a loss of $76,800 on each stock. If Daniel's marginal tax rate is 35 percent and he has $153,600 of other capital gains (taxed at 15 percent), what is the tax savings from the special tax treatment?

Lena is the sole shareholder and president of Gold Corporation, which is a C Corporation. She feels that she can justify paying herself a $50,000 bonus this year because of her excellent performance for the company. However, rather than a bonus, she considers having Gold pay her a $50,000 dividend. She believes this would be preferable because it will be taxed at only 15% as a “qualified dividend” instead of being taxed at her marginal income tax rate of 35% as a bonus. Assuming that Gold Corporation is in the 21% federal tax bracket, how much federal income tax could Lena save by taking the bonus?Given that Lena owns 100% of Gold Corporation you should analyze this decision from both the corporation and individual tax perspectives (an “integrated” analysis). You can ignore any state or social security tax considerations. Reminder: dividends paid by a C Corporation are nondeductible for federal income tax purposes.
