$6,300 (21% × $30,000). Passive investment income is $73,000 ($6,000 municipal bond interest + $42,000 interest income + $25,000 dividend income). Gross receipts of $172,000 ($99,000 consulting revenue + $6,000 municipal bond interest + $42,000 interest income + $25,000 dividend income). Expenses in producing passive investment income are $0.
Excess net passive income is $30,000, computed as $73,000 × [$73,000 ? (25% × $172,000)]/$73,000.
Consequently, the excess net passive income tax is $6,300 = 21% × $30,000.
