- Current Earnings and Profits (CEP) or
- Sum of Current Earnings and Profits (CEP) and Accumulated Earnings and Profits (AEP) before distribution.
* Remaining dividends to the extent of shareholder's basis are treated as non taxable return of capital which reduce the share holder's basis.
* Dividends in excess of E&P and shareholder's basis are taxable capital gain distributioins.

Current E&P = 82,017
Accumulated E&P = (60,446)
Current E&P + Accumulated E&P = 82,017 + (60,446) = 21,571
Cash distribution of 82,017 is treated as taxable dividens income.
Remaining dividends to the extent of share holder's basis of 45,057 is treated as non taxable return of capital.
Dividends in excess of E&P and share holder's basis of 28,306 (155,380-82,017-45,057) are taxable capital gain distributions.
