$1$Footnote $1$XYZ owns $30\%$ of the outstanding Hobble Corporation $($HC$)$ stock. Hobble Corporation reported $$1,000,000$ of income for the year. XYZ accounted for its investment in HC under the equity method, and it recorded its pro rata share of HC$\text{'}$s earnings for the year. HC also distributed a $$200,000$ dividend to XYZ$.$ For tax purposes, XYZ reports the actual dividend received as income, not the pro rata share of HC$\text{'}$s earnings.

$2$Footnote $2$Of the $$31,200$ interest income, $$7,800$ was from a City of Seattle bond, $$9,800$ was from a Tacoma City bond, $$8,800$ was from a fully taxable corporate bond, and the remaining $$4,800$ was from a money market account.

$3$Footnote $3$This gain is from equipment that XYZ purchased in February and sold in December $($i$.$e$.,$ it does not qualify as $1231$ gain$).$

$4$Footnote $4$This includes total officer compensation of $$2,500,000($no one officer received more than $$1,000,000$ compensation$).$

$5$Footnote $5$This amount is the portion of incentive stock option compensation that was expensed during the year $($recipients are officers$).$

$6$Footnote $6$XYZ actually wrote off $$34,000$ of its accounts receivable as uncollectible.

$7$Footnote $7$Tax depreciation was $$2,250,000.$

$8$Footnote $8$In the current year, XYZ did not make any actual payments on warranties it provided to customers.

$10$Footnote $10$On July $1$ of this year, XYZ acquired the assets of another business. In the process, it acquired $$342,000$ of goodwill. At the end of the year, XYZ wrote off $$37,000$ of the goodwill as impaired.

$11$Footnote $11$XYZ expensed all of its organizational expenditures for book purposes. XYZ expensed the maximum amount of organizational expenditures allowed for tax purposes.

$12$Footnote $12$The other expenses do not contain any items with book$$tax differences.

$13$Footnote $13$This is an estimated tax provision $($federal tax expense$)$ for the year. Assume that XYZ is not subject to state income taxes.

Estimated tax information:

XYZ made four equal estimated tax payments totaling $$440,000($$$110,000$ per quarter$).$ For purposes of estimated tax liabilities, assume XYZ was in existence in $2023$ and that in $2023$ it reported a tax liability of $$612,000.$ During $2024,$ XYZ determined its taxable income at the end of each of the first three quarters as follows:

Quarter$-$endCumulative taxable income $($loss$)$First$ $470,000$Second$ $1,170,000$Third$ $1,710,000$

Finally, assume that XYZ is not a large corporation for purposes of estimated tax calculations.
