Exercise 55

{Planning} Farve Inc.recently elected S corporation status.At the time of the election, the company had $10,000 of accumulated earnings and profits, and a net unrealized gain of $1,000,000 associated with land it had invested in (although some parcels had an unrealized loss).In the next couple of years, most of the income the company expects to generate will be in the form of interest and dividends (approximately $200,000 per year).However, in the future, the company will want to liquidate some of its current holdings in land and possibly reinvest in other parcels.What strategies can you recommend for Farve Inc.to help reduce its potential tax liability as an S corporation?
