C or S Corp. Tele. excise tax credit

[Bird Legs]

Corp. files tax return deduicting the cost of the telephone bill. Corp. also takes credit
for the excise tax on the corp. tax return.
Does this credit have to be reported as income since the tax was deducted as an expense and a credit against the tax?
Any response, thoght, will be appreciated. This has not been a good day.

Yes

Yes, will be income to a business that deducts the credit. One more thing to remember to ask our clients or have to look up for them! And, then there will be those that ask why they didn't take the credit last year and can we amend right now?! Most of my businesses didn't want to take the time to calculate their credit nor pay me to do so.

Lion, thank you

for the response. It is greatly appreciated.

Like Lion says.. I didn't tell my corporate clients that there was even a credit available as its not worth my time to deal with it on a corporation return.

Old Jack, again I

appreciate your response very much.
