No, preferred stock dividends are not tax deductible for the issuing corporation.

This means that the corporation pays taxes on its earnings before distributing dividends to preferred stockholders.
Only when interest paid on debt is allowed to be tax deductible that a corporate tax will help pull the WACC down. This is because we used an after-tax rate for cost of debt in calculating WACC. And by using the after-tax rate we are assumming that the government allows companies to use interest paid on debt reduce their income tax obligations, hence creating a tax-shield benefit for adding debt.
