To determine

Introduction: To operate a business, a taxpayer generally chooses between individual trading, partnership, and corporation form of entity. The corporations can be of either S Corporation or C Corporation. The taxpayer needs to understand his business requirements properly for the smooth continuance of his business since each form of entity has different tax treatment. After 2018, a new 21 percent rate of tax was introduced for corporations. Corporations must include in ordinary taxable income all net capital gains income during the year for tax purposes and then the income taxed at a regular rate except in certain rare circumstances.

To choose: Any corporate AMT credit carried forward that existed at the end of 2017.
