please help me and please explain the process.
Assume you have been hired by a hypothetical client, XYZ Corporation, to prepare its Form 1120, U.S. Corporation Income Tax Return, for the 2024 tax year. Requirements: Part 1: On McGraw-Hill's Connect, complete Problem #65 from Ch05 of our text, parts (a), (b), (c), and (e). For your convenience, the information provided in the problem also appears below and on the following pages: XYZ is a calendar-year corporation that began business on January 1, 2024. For the year, it reported the following information in its current year audited income statement. Notes with important tax information are provided below. a. Reconcile book income to taxable income and identify each book-tax difference as temporary or permanent. b. Compute XYZ's income tax liability. c. Complete XYZ's Schedule M-1. e. Determine the quarters for which XYZ is subject to penalties for the underpayment of estimated taxes (see assumptions and estimated tax information on the next page). Notes: 1. XYZ owns 30 percent of the outstanding Hobble Corp. (HC) stock. HC 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'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's earnings. 2. Of the $20,000 interest income, $5,000 was from a City of Seattle bond, $7,000 was from a Tacoma City bond, $6,000 was from a fully taxable corporate bond, and the remaining $2,000 was from a money market account. 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. This includes total officer compensation of $2,500,000 (no one officer received more than $1,000,000 compensation). 5. This amount is the portion of incentive stock option compensation that was expensed during the year (recipients are officers). 6. XYZ actually wrote off $27,000 of its accounts receivable as uncollectible. 7. Tax depreciation was $1,900,000. 8. In the current year, XYZ did not make any actual payments on warranties it provided to customers. 9. XYZ made $500,000 of cash contributions to charities during the year. 10. On July 1 of this year, XYZ acquired the assets of another business. In the process, it acquired $300,000 of goodwill. At the end of the year, XYZ wrote off $30,000 of the goodwill as impaired. 11. XYZ expensed all of its organizational expenditures for book purposes. XYZ expensed the maximum amount of organizational expenditures allowed for tax purposes. 12. The other expenses do not contain any items with book-tax differences. 13. This is an estimated tax provision (federal tax expense) for the year. Assume that XYZ is not subject to state income taxes.

Using the equity method, XYZ accounts for $300.000 of Income for book purposes ($1,000,000 x 0.30]. 2. This Is ordinary Income for tax purposes (used In trade or business held for less than a year) so It Is not netted with the capital loss. 3. Warranty expense Is deductible for tax purposes when paid. 4. For tax purposes, XYZ Is allowed to amortize goodw acquired in an asset acquisition on a stralge 24, It Is allowed to amortize goodwill for 6 months because the goodwill was acquired In July. Its deductible amortization expense for goodwill is $10,000 ($300,000 + 180 months x 6 months). So, the Schedule M-1 adjustment is $20,000 unfavorable. 5. Because XYZ reported less than $50,000 in organizational expenditures it Is allowed to Immediately expense $5,000 and amortize the remaining costs $39.000 ($44,000 - $5.000) over 180 months (15 years). Because XYZ began business In January, It Is allowed to deduct a full year's worth of amortization. In total, Its XYZ's deductible amortization Is $7.600 [$5,000 + $2.600 ($39.000 = 15)] 6. The charitable contribution deduction Is limited by the 10%% of charitable contribution modified taxable Income (taxable Income before the charitable contribution and DRD). The deduction limit Is $221,140 ($2,211,400 * 1098). The nondeductible portion of $278,860 Is an unfavorable temporary book tax difference. . Because XYZ owns 30% of HC, It Is entitled to a 65%% DRD. Its DRD Is $130.000 ($200.000 dividend x 6539).Comprehensive Problem 5-65 Part b (Statle) b. Compute XYZ's income tax liability Tax liability S 380,655) Explanation b.
