This semester, we learned that Congress designed the Code to include various deductions from income. (NOTE: We are
not discussing the deductions that may arise from losses.) There are two deductions that are particularly important to corporations: (1) the Section 162 deduction for business expenses and (2) the dividend-received deduction. How does the IRS generally interpret deductions (i.e., broadly or narrowly)? How do we determine whether a taxpayer is entitled to each of these two deductions?

Finally, what generally governs when a taxpayer may take each of these two deductions?
