As of December 30, 2019, Larson Corporation (a calendar year taxpayer) has gross income from operations of $497,000, expenses from operations of $596,000, and dividends received from domestic corporations (less than 20 percent ownership) of $200,000. Currently, Larson does not expect any more income or expenses to be realized by year-end. However, Larsons tax department has suggested that the corporation incur another $1,001 of deductible expenditures before year-end. What is the motivation behind the tax departments recommendation, and is such year-end planning ethical?
