Corporations are taxed on the income they earn, and shareholders are taxed on the dividends they receive. What provisions in the tax law reduce this "double tax" burden? (Assume the year is 2018.) C O A. Dividends received by individuals are taxed at lower rates than other income. There is no tax on dividends received by individuals in the 10% tax bracket.

In addition, eligible corporations can elect to be treated much like partnerships. The income of these so-called "S corporations" is reported by shareholders, and is not taxed to the corporation. In addition, corporations receiving dividends from other corporations are eligible to claim a dividend-received deduction that varies between 50% and 100% of the dividends received depending on the percentage of stock owned. There are no provisions in the tax law to reduce the "double tax" burden.…
