Answer:

B) Luis must report $80,000 of income on his return.

Explanation:

Shareholders of C corporations are not required to report the profits of the corporation in their adjusted gross income. They must report the amount of money they receive as dividends or in this case money withdrawals. The advantage that Eduardo has over Luis is that Luis will be subject to double taxation, since the company must pay corporate taxes and he must also pay personal income taxes.
