Can S Corp claim dividend exclusion for the dividend it received?

[zhengqipeng]

We have a S Corp that received dividends last year. I read from IRS that Corporations are eligible for Dividend Received Deduction with variable percentages. The S corp is 100% owned by an individual.

Can the S Corp claim Dividend Received Deduction? I did not see any place we can make the deduction in Turbo Tax. Or we should just report the portion of dividends after deduction?

Thank you very much.

No. The DRD does not apply to S corporations (which are pass-through entities).
