Dividends-received-deduction and percentage-depletion-deduction limitations: a conflict

Journal Article · · Oil Gas Tax Q.; (United States)
OSTI ID:6588805
The Tax Reduction Act of 1975 severely limited the use of percentage depletion for oil and gas wells. Owners of those wells for which percentage depletion is available face the potentially complex intricacies of the limitations of Sections 246(b) and 613(d)(1). The taxpayer should first determine if he can avoid the intermingling of the dividends received deduction and percentage depletion deduction limitations, since it can be avoided if he has a net operating loss. If the taxpayer has a net operating profit, he must look to Revenue Ruling 79-347 to resolve the problems caused by interaction. 15 references.
