Assume you asked your favorite AI learning tool "How is dividend income derived from current earnings and profits?" and the AI tool responded as follows:

Dividend income is the amount of money that a corporation pays to its shareholders from its current or accumulated earnings and profits $($E&P$).$ E&P is a measure of the corporation's economic ability to pay dividends, and it is calculated by making adjustments to the taxable income of the corporation for items that are treated differently for E&P purposes. For example, some income items may be tax$-$exempt, some expenses may be non$-$deductible, and some depreciation methods may differ for E&P and tax purposes.

A distribution from a corporation is a dividend to the extent of the corporation's current$-$year E&P and accumulated E&P$.$ A distribution will be treated as a dividend to the extent of a corporation$$s current$-$year E&P$,$ even if the corporation has an accumulated E&P deficit. If the distribution exceeds the current$-$year and accumulated E&P$,$ the excess amount will be a return of capital, which will reduce the shareholder$$s basis in the stock. If the basis reaches zero, the remaining amount will be treated as capital gain to the shareholder
