Overview
Taxation II is an advanced course that navigates the complexities of U.S. tax law,
focusing on entity taxation (corporations, partnerships, trusts), tax planning,
credits, and compliance under the Internal Revenue Code (IRC). The 2023/2024

tical contexts, preparing them for professional tax roles. This guide provides
83 authentic questions with verified solutions, covering corporate, partnership,
individual, trust, and international taxation. Designed for depth and clarity, it
ensures comprehensive preparation for exam success.

The Taxation II final exam typically comprises:
• Multiple-Choice Questions: Assessing IRC provisions and tax concepts.
• Computational Problems: Requiring calculations of taxable income, credits, or
deductions.
• Scenario Analyses: Evaluating tax implications in complex situations.
Exams are often open-book, unproctored, and cover all course material. The
83 questions here exceed standard exam scope, offering rigorous practice with
solutions verified for accuracy and relevance.
Authentic Questions and Solutions
This section presents 83 questions, organized by topic, with verified solutions to
foster mastery and exam readiness.
Corporate Taxation
1. What is the federal corporate income tax rate for 2023?
• Solution: 21%. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) of 2017 (IRC Section 11)
establishes a flat 21% rate for C corporations. Example: $900,000 taxable
income incurs $189,000 tax. This rate simplifies calculations but introduces
double taxation (corporate and shareholder). State taxes may apply, neces-
sitating integrated planning.
2. How is taxable income computed for a C corporation?
