Distributions
If the business had a good year, decide whether to distribute
earnings or accumulate them for future expansion or other purposes.
If distributions are to be made, decide how to do so on a tax-advantaged basis.
Remember that corporate dividends are now taxed to shareholders at no more than 15%.

Many individuals sell stocks that show a loss at year-end to reap a tax writeoff. Making the wrong move after the sale, however, can prevent these taxpayers from claiming deductions, warns Bob D. Scharin, editor of Warren, Gorham & Lamont/RIA's Practical Tax Strategies, a monthly journal written for tax professionals.
This harsh consequence comes from the "wash-sale" rule. It prevents you from selling shares at a loss and then reacquiring substantially identical ones within 30 days before or after the sale. You may be tempted to sell and repurchase if you think the loser you have been holding is finally on the verge of a rally. "In essence, the rules are designed to prevent you from claiming a loss deduction while your investment position remains substantially unchanged," Scharin explains.
The 30-day period is not impeded by year-ends. Thus, if you sell stock at a
loss on December 30, 2004, and buy it back on January 10, 2005, your 2004
loss will be disallowed.
