What is the motivation behind the tax departments

Reference no: EM13482706

As of December 30, 2009, Robin Corporation (a calendar year taxpayer) has gross income from operations of $497,000, expenses from operations from $556,000, and dividends received from domestic corporations (less than 20% ownership) of $200,000. Currently, Robin does not expect any more income or expenses to be realized by year-end. However, Robin's tax department has suggested that the corporation incur another $1,001 of deductable expenditures before year-end. What is the motivation behind the tax department's recommendation, and is such year-end tax planning ethical? What do you think?
