Tara incorporates her sole proprietorship, transferring it to newly formed Black Corporation. The assets transferred have an adjusted basis of $240,000 and a fair market value of $300,000. Also transferred was $10,000 in liabilities, $1,000 of which was personal and the balance of $9,000 being business related. In return for these transfers, Tara receives all of the stock in Black Corporation.
Black Corporation has a basis of $240,000 in the property.

Response Feedback:
Tara has a recognized gain of $10,000 that is the amount of the boot she is treated as having received. Thus, her basis in the Black Corporation stock is $240,000 [$240,000 (basis of the property given up) - $10,000 (boot received) + $10,000 (gain recognized)]. Black Corporation's basis in the property is $250,000 [$240,000 (Tara's basis in the property) + $10,000 (gain recognized by Tara)]. In terms of the $10,000 boot, 357(b) taints all liabilities even though some are supported by a bona fide business purpose.

Eve recognizes a gain of $230,000.

Response Feedback:
A long-term note is treated as boot. Thus, Eve is taxed on the value of the note received.

Kim owns 100% of the stock of Cardinal Corporation. In the current year Kim transfers an installment obligation, tax basis of $30,000 and fair market value of $200,000, for additional stock in Cardinal worth $200,000.
Kim has a basis of $200,000 in the additional stock she received in Cardinal Corporation.
Response Feedback:
An installment obligation qualifies as "property" under 351. Thus, Kim recognizes no gain on the transfer. Cardinal has a basis of $30,000 in the installment obligation.

Sarah and Tony (mother and son) form Dove Corporation with the following investments: cash by Sarah of $55,000; land by Tony (basis of $35,000 and fair market value of $45,000). Dove Corporation issues 200 shares of stock, 100 each to Sarah and Tony. Thus, each receives stock in Dove worth $50,000.
As a result of the transfer, Tony recognizes a gain of $10,000.

Response Feedback:
The fact that the stock was not in proportion to the value of the property transferred (choice a.) does not prevent 351 from applying. Since 351 applies and no boot was received, Tony does not recognize a gain (choice b.). His basis in the stock is $35,000 plus $5,000, the basis of the stock implicitly gifted by Sarah to Tony (not $50,000 as in choice c.).

Erica recognizes gain of $400,000.

Response Feedback:
Erica has a recognized gain of $200,000 which is the amount of the boot she is treated as having received through her receipt of the securities in Robin Corporation. The basis of the land to Robin would be equal to the basis Erica had in the land, $100,000, plus the gain recognized by Erica, $200,000, or $300,000.

Currently, Brown Corporation (E & P of $800,000) has 1,000 shares of common stock outstanding. Pat owns 300 shares. His wife owns 300 shares, his daughter owns 200 shares, and his father owns 200 shares. Two years ago, Pat transferred $50,000 to Brown Corporation in exchange for 100 newly issued shares of nonvoting preferred stock. In the current year, Brown Corporation redeems Pat's preferred stock for $60,000, its fair market value. With respect to the distribution in redemption of the preferred stock:
Pat has a long-term capital gain of $60,000.

Response Feedback:
As a result of the stock attribution rules, Pat owns 100% of the stock in Brown Corporation before and after the redemption. Thus, the distribution does not satisfy any of the qualifying stock redemption provisions. Instead, the entire distribution is taxed as dividend income. The $50,000 basis in the preferred stock redeemed attaches to the basis of Pat's common stock.

Wren redeems 400 of Frank's shares (basis of $40,000) for $200,000. With respect to the distribution in redemption of the stock:
Frank has dividend income of $160,000.

Response Feedback:
The distribution does not satisfy any of the qualifying stock redemption provisions and, as such,
is taxed as dividend income. Frank's ownership interest in Wren Corporation after the redemption is 54.5% (600 shares owned after redemption 1,100 shares outstanding after redemption). Since he continues to control Wren Corporation after the redemption, the transaction fails both the not essentially equivalent redemption provision and the disproportionate redemption provision. The $40,000 basis in the stock redeemed attaches to that of Frank's remaining stock in Wren.

Hawk Corporation has 300 shares of stock outstanding: Marina owns 60 shares, Kent owns 90 shares, and Tom owns 75 shares. Blackbird Partnership owns the remaining 75 shares of stock in Hawk Corporation. Marina, Kent, and Tom, all unrelated, are equal partners of Blackbird Partnership. With respect to the stock attribution rules under 318:
Marina owns, directly and indirectly, 85 shares in Hawk Corporation.

Response Feedback:
A partner is deemed to own stock held by the partnership in proportion to the partner's interest in the partnership. Thus, Marina owns 85 shares in Hawk Corporation [60 shares directly plus 25 shares indirectly from Blackbird Partnership (1/3 ? 75 shares)]. Similarly, Kent owns 115 shares (90 shares directly plus 25 shares indirectly) and Tom owns 100 shares (75 shares directly plus 25 shares indirectly) in Hawk Corporation. A partnership is deemed to own all of the stock owned by its partners; thus, Blackbird Partnership owns all 300 shares in Hawk (75 shares directly plus 225 shares indirectly from the three partners).

Question 6
Blue Corporation, a cash basis taxpayer, has taxable income of $700,000 for the current year. Blue elected $80,000 of 179 expense. It also had a related party loss of $30,000 and a realized (not recognized) gain from an involuntary conversion of $85,000. It paid Federal income tax of $185,000 and a nondeductible fine of $20,000. Blue's current E & P is:
$630,000
Response Feedback:
Taxable income is reduced by Federal income tax paid, the related party loss, and the nondeductible fine. Eighty percent of the 179 expense is added back. Thus, $700,000 $185,000 - $30,000 - $20,000 + $64,000 = $529,000. The involuntary conversion has no effect since realized gain was not recognized.

Brenda owns 900 shares of Eagle Corporation stock at a time when Eagle has 1,500 shares of stock outstanding. The remaining shareholders are unrelated to Brenda. What is the minimum number of shares Eagle must redeem from Brenda so that the transaction will qualify as a disproportionate redemption?
347 shares
Response Feedback:
Before the redemption, Brenda owns 60% of the outstanding shares of Eagle stock. To qualify as a disproportionate redemption, Brenda must own, after the redemption, less than 48% (80% ? 60%) of the remaining outstanding shares of Eagle stock. Using a simple algebraic formula, the minimum number of shares (rounded up to the next whole number) that must be redeemed is
347 shares.

Pheasant Corporation ended its first year of operations with taxable income of $225,000. At the time of Pheasant's formation, it incurred $50,000 of organizational expenses. In calculating its taxable income for the year, Pheasant claimed an $8,000 deduction for the organizational expenses. What is Pheasant's current E & P?
$225,000
Response Feedback:
In determining E & P, there is no allowance for the amortization of organizational expenses. Any such expense deducted when computing taxable income must be added back to determine E & P. Consequently, Pheasant's E & P is $233,000 ($225,000 of current year E & P plus $8,000 of organizational expenses).

Kingbird Corporation (E & P of $800,000) has 1,000 shares of stock outstanding. That stock is held by Amata (550 shares) and Esteban (450 shares), who are unrelated individuals. Kingbird redeems 200 of Amata's shares for $1,000 per share. Amata paid $300 per share for her Kingbird stock nine years ago. Which of the following statements is correct with respect to the stock redemption?
Amata's basis in her remaining 350 shares is $60,000.

Response Feedback:
The transaction qualifies for sale or exchange treatment as a disproportionate redemption. Amata's 43.8% (350 shares 800 shares) postredemption interest in Kingbird is less than both 80% of her preredemption interest [43.8% < 44% (80% ? 550 shares 1,000 shares) and 50%. The stock was held for more than one year; thus, the result is a long-term capital gain of $140,000 [$200,000 (amount realized) - $60,000 (basis of 200 shares redeemed)]. The basis of Amata's remaining shares is $105,000 (350 shares ? $300). The reduction in Kingbird's E & P as a result of the qualifying stock redemption is limited to $160,000 [20% (percentage of shares outstanding redeemed)? $800,000 (E & P at time of redemption)].

The distribution does not satisfy any of the qualifying stock redemption provisions and, as such, is taxed as dividend income. Frank's ownership interest in Wren Corporation after the redemption is 54.5% (600 shares owned after redemption 1,100 shares outstanding after redemption). Since he continues to control Wren Corporation after the redemption, the transaction fails both the not essentially equivalent redemption provision and the disproportionate redemption provision. The $40,000 basis in the stock redeemed attaches to that of Frank's remaining stock in Wren.

Question 2
Tracy and Lance, equal shareholders in Macaw Corporation, receive $250,000 each in distributions on December 31 of the current year. During the current year, Macaw sold an appreciated asset for $500,000 (basis of $150,000). Payment for the sale of the asset will be made as follows: 50% next year and 50% in the following year, with interest payable at a rate of 7.5%. Before considering the effect of the asset sale, Macaw's current year E & P is $400,000 and it has no accumulated E & P. How much of Tracy's distribution will be taxed as a dividend?
$200,000
Response Feedback:
Accounting methods used for determining E & P are generally more conservative than those allowed for calculating income tax. As a consequence, the installment method is not permitted for E & P purposes. Thus, an adjustment is required for the deferred gain from property sales made during the year. All principal payments are treated as having been received in the year of the sale. Macaw's E & P of $400,000 in the current year is thereby increased by the $350,000 of gain on the sale. Since Macaw now has $750,000 of E & P ($400,000 of current E & P plus $350,000 of deferred gain), Tracy's entire distribution of $250,000 is a dividend.

Question 4
Which of the following statements is incorrect with respect to determining current E & P?
Answer
Selected Answer:
Charitable contributions in excess of the 10% of taxable income limit should be subtracted from taxable income. All the adjustments are correct. Tax-exempt income and Federal income tax refunds are added to taxable income because they increase the company's capacity to pay a dividend (choices a. and d.). The dividends received deduction is added back because it does not represent a reduction in the company's assets available for distribution (choice b.). Finally, disallowed charitable contributions decrease the corporation's ability to make distributions to shareholders, so they reduce E & P (choice c.).

Cardinal Corporation has 1,000 shares of common stock outstanding. John owns 400 of the shares, John's father owns 300 shares, John's daughter owns 200 shares, and Redbird Corporation owns 100 shares. John owns 70% of the stock in Redbird Corporation. How many shares is John deemed to own in Cardinal Corporation under the attribution rules of 318?
1,000
Response Feedback:
John is deemed to own the shares of his father, his daughter, and since he is a 50% or greater shareholder in Redbird, a proportionate number of shares owned by Redbird. Thus, John is deemed to own 970 shares: his 400 shares plus his father's 300 shares plus his daughter's 200 shares plus 70 of Redbird's shares [100 (shares owned by Redbird)? 70% (John's ownership interest in Redbird)].

Question 6
On January 2, 2010, Orange Corporation purchased equipment for $300,000 with an ADS recovery period of 10 years and a MACRS useful life of 7 years. Section 179 was not elected. MACRS depreciation properly claimed on the asset, including depreciation in the year of sale, totaled $79,605. The equipment was sold on July 1, 2011, for $290,000. As a result of the sale, the adjustment to taxable income needed to arrive at current E & P is:
Decrease $49,605
Response Feedback:
Gain on sale of the equipment for purposes of determining taxable income is $69,605, computed as follows: $290,000 (selling price) - $220,395 (adjusted basis). The adjusted basis is determined by subtracting the MACRS depreciation ($79,605) from the cost of $300,000. For purposes of computing E & P, the gain is $20,000 [$290,000 (selling price) - $270,000 (E & P adjusted basis)]. For E & P purposes, depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over 10 years, with the half-year convention. Thus, the corporation deducts $30,000 annually for depreciation ($300,000 10 years). In the years of purchase and sale, the company deducts 1/2 year of depreciation, or $15,000 per year. Therefore, total E & P depreciation is $30,000 and the adjusted basis for E & P purposes is $270,000 [$300,000 (cost) - $30,000 (depreciation)]. The adjustment to taxable income to account for the difference in gain for tax and E & P purposes is a decrease in taxable income of $49,605 [$20,000 (E & P gain) - $69,605 (taxable gain)].

Brenda owns 900 shares of Eagle Corporation stock at a time when Eagle has 1,500 shares of stock outstanding. The remaining shareholders are unrelated to Brenda. What is the minimum number of shares
Eagle must redeem from Brenda so that the transaction will qualify as a disproportionate redemption?
347 shares
Response Feedback:
Before the redemption, Brenda owns 60% of the outstanding shares of Eagle stock. To qualify as a disproportionate redemption, Brenda must own, after the redemption, less than 48% (80% ? 60%) of the remaining outstanding shares of Eagle stock. Using a simple algebraic formula, the minimum number of shares (rounded up to the next whole number) that must be redeemed is 347 shares.

Question 10
Federal income tax refunds should be added back to taxable income.

Response Feedback:
All the adjustments are correct. Tax-exempt income and Federal income tax refunds are added to taxable income because they increase the company's capacity to pay a dividend (choices a. and d.). The dividends received deduction is added back because it does not represent a reduction in the company's assets available for distribution (choice b.). Finally, disallowed charitable contributions decrease the corporation's ability to make distributions to shareholders, so they reduce E & P (choice c.).

Decrease $49,605
Response Feedback:
Gain on sale of the equipment for purposes of determining taxable income is $69,605, computed as follows: $290,000 (selling price) - $220,395 (adjusted basis). The adjusted basis is determined by subtracting the MACRS depreciation ($79,605) from the cost of $300,000. For purposes of computing E & P, the gain is $20,000 [$290,000 (selling price) - $270,000 (E & P
adjusted basis)]. For E & P purposes, depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over 10 years, with the half-year convention. Thus, the corporation deducts $30,000 annually for depreciation ($300,000 10 years). In the years of purchase and sale, the company deducts 1/2 year of depreciation, or $15,000 per year. Therefore, total E & P depreciation is $30,000 and the adjusted basis for E & P purposes is $270,000 [$300,000 (cost) - $30,000 (depreciation)]. The adjustment to taxable income to account for the difference in gain for tax and E & P purposes is a decrease in taxable income of $49,605 [$20,000 (E & P gain) - $69,605 (taxable gain)].

The transaction qualifies for sale or exchange treatment as a disproportionate redemption. Amata's 43.8% (350 shares 800 shares) postredemption interest in Kingbird is less than both 80% of her preredemption interest [43.8% < 44% (80% ? 550 shares 1,000 shares) and 50%. The stock was held for more than one year; thus, the result is a long-term capital gain of $140,000 [$200,000 (amount realized) - $60,000 (basis of 200 shares redeemed)]. The basis of
Amata's remaining shares is $105,000 (350 shares ? $300). The reduction in Kingbird's E & P as a result of the qualifying stock redemption is limited to $160,000 [20% (percentage of shares outstanding redeemed)? $800,000 (E & P at time of redemption)].

Target Corporation is merging into Acquiring Corporation under state law requirements. Target has 3,000 shares outstanding, with a value of $100 per share. Joey, one of Target's shareholders, exchanges his 500 Target shares, for which he paid $80 per share, for 1,000 shares of Crow stock, valued at $30 per share, and $5,000 cash. Acquiring owns 40% of Crow stock. How does Joey treat this transaction for tax purposes?
Joey recognizes no gain or loss.

Response Feedback:
This is a taxable transaction because Joey received no stock in Acquiring in exchange for his stock in Target. Acquiring's ownership of Crow is an investment. Thus, Crow is not a party to the reorganization. 500 x $80 = $40,000 basis - $30,000 Crow stock - $5,000 cash = $5,000 loss for Joey.

How does Raul treat this transaction on his tax return?
Raul recognizes gain of $25,000 on the exchange ($125,000 - $100,000).

Norma formed Hyacinth Enterprises, a proprietorship, in 2010. In its first year, Hyacinth had operating income of $200,000 and operating expenses of $100,000. In addition, Hyacinth had a long-term capital loss of $9,000. Norma, the proprietor of Hyacinth Enterprises, withdrew $50,000 from Hyacinth during the year. Assuming Norma has no other capital gains or losses, how does this information affect her taxable income for 2010?
Increases Norma's taxable income by $41,000 ($50,000 ordinary business income - $9,000 long-term capital loss) A proprietorship is not a separate taxable entity. As a proprietor, Norma reports profit or loss from Hyacinth on her individual return. Norma's taxable income for 2010 will be increased by $97,000 ($200,000 - $100,000 = $100,000 net ordinary business income - $3,000 capital loss deduction). The $50,000 she withdrew from Hyacinth has no effect on her taxable income.

Domingo and Juan, brothers, each own 300 shares in White Corporation (E & P of $700,000). Heron Partnership owns the remaining 400 shares of stock in White Corporation, and Juan has a 25% interest in Heron Partnership. White Corporation redeems 200 shares of Juan's stock for $120,000. Juan paid $150 a share for the stock five years ago. With respect to the redemption:
Juan has a long-term capital gain of $90,000.

Response Feedback:
The redemption meets both tests of 302(b)(2) and qualifies for sale or exchange treatment. Before and after the redemption, Juan is deemed to own a proportionate number of the White shares owned by Heron Partnership, but none of the shares owned by Domingo. (The family attribution rules do not include siblings.) Thus, before the redemption, Juan has a 40% interest in White: 300 shares directly plus 100 shares indirectly from Heron (25% x 400). After the redemption, Juan owns 25% of the stock in White Corporation: [200 shares (100 directly plus 100 indirectly from Heron) x 800 postredemption shares outstanding]. The 25% ownership interest is less than 50% of the total voting power and less than 80% of Juan's original ownership [25% is less than 32% (80% x 40%)]. Thus, the distribution is a disproportionate redemption and Juan has a long-term capital gain of $90,000 [$120,000 (amount realized) $30,000 (stock basis)].

Gravity Corporation creates Earth Corporation. It transfers most of its assets (net value $900,000) to Earth. At approximately the same time, Magnet Corporation also transfers all of its assets (net value $90,000) to Earth. Gravity liquidates by transferring its remaining assets, $100,000 cash and 1,000 shares of Earth, to its sole shareholder, Zia, in exchange for all of her Gravity stock. Zia's basis in her Gravity stock was $300,000. Magnet liquidates by transferring 100 shares of Earth to its sole shareholder, Amos, in exchange for all of his Magnet stock. Amos's basis in his Magnet stock was $150,000. How will this transaction be treated for tax purposes?
This qualifies as a "Type C" reorganization. Zia recognizes $100,000 gain, Gravity also recognizes $100,000 gain, but Amos will not recognize his loss. With "Type A" consolidations, the stock exchanged can be common or preferred. The continuity of interest requirement is met.

Carlos purchased 20% of Target Corporation's stock five years ago for $50,000. In a transaction qualifying as a "Type A" reorganization, Carlos received $40,000 cash and 6% of Acquiring Corporation's stock (valued at $60,000) in exchange for his Target stock. Target had $300,000 accumulated earnings and profits prior to the reorganization. How does Carlos treat the exchange for tax purposes?
As a sale of stock and recognizes a $10,000 long-term capital loss

Iris received 1,000 shares of Jupiter valued at $50,000 for her 8,000 shares of Titian that cost Iris $100,000 five years ago. In addition to the Jupiter stock, she receives a $30,000 bond. How does Iris treat this transaction for tax purposes?
Iris recognizes a loss of $20,000. Her Jupiter stock basis is $80,000.

Response Feedback:
Iris has a realized loss of $20,000; however, losses are not recognized in reorganizations. Her basis in her Jupiter stock will be $70,000 ($100,000 - $30,000 bond received).

Cardinal Corporation redeems all of its voting common stock. Cardinal then exchanges this redeemed stock
with Wren corporation for 40% of Wren's voting common and nonvoting preferred stock. The Wren stock was distributed to the Cardinal shareholders. After the transaction, both Cardinal and Wren corporations still exist. The former Cardinal shareholders are now shareholders of Wren. This transaction qualifies as a(n):
"Type C" reorganization

Response Feedback:
This does not qualify as a "Type B" reorganization because Wren used preferred stock as well as voting stock in the exchange. The acquiring corporation can use only voting stock. For the other types of reorganizations, assets of one of the corporations would have to be transferred to the other.

Xian Corporation and Win Corporation would like to combine into one entity. Xian exchanges 40% of its common and preferred stock plus $200,000 cash for 60% of Win's assets and liabilities. Win distributes the Xian stock, cash, unwanted assets, and liabilities to its shareholders in exchange for their outstanding stock. Win then liquidates.
This restructuring will qualify as a "Type B" reorganization.

Response Feedback:
This restructuring does not qualify as a "Type A" statutory merger because all of the Win liabilities were not transferred to Xian. A stock for stock exchange is necessary for a "Type B" reorganization, which was not the case here. The transaction does not qualify as a "Type C" reorganization because at least 80% of Win's assets are not obtained with voting stock. The restructuring is not an acquisitive "Type D" reorganization because Xian is transferring stock to Win, not assets. Therefore, this transaction is not one of the reorganizations provided in 368.

The redemption meets both tests of 302(b)(2) and qualifies for sale or exchange treatment. Before and after the redemption, Juan is deemed to own a proportionate number of the White shares owned by Heron Partnership, but none of the shares owned by Domingo. (The family attribution rules do not include siblings.) Thus, before the redemption, Juan has a 40% interest in White: 300 shares directly plus 100 shares indirectly from Heron (25% x 400). After the
redemption, Juan owns 25% of the stock in White Corporation: [200 shares (100 directly plus 100 indirectly from Heron) x 800 postredemption shares outstanding]. The 25% ownership interest is less than 50% of the total voting power and less than 80% of Juan's original ownership [25% is less than 32% (80% x 40%)]. Thus, the distribution is a disproportionate redemption and Juan has a long-term capital gain of $90,000 [$120,000 (amount realized) $30,000 (stock basis)].

Question 1
0 out of 1 points
ParentCo owned 100% of SubCo for the entire year. ParentCo uses the accrual method of tax accounting, whereas SubCo uses the cash method. During the year, SubCo sold raw materials to ParentCo for $35,000 under a contract that requires no payment to SubCo until the following year. Exclusive of this transaction, ParentCo had income for the year of $80,000, and SubCo had income of $50,000. The group's consolidated taxable income for the year was:
$95,000
Response Feedback:
Since SubCo uses the cash method of accounting, it will not recognize the $35,000 of income for the materials sold to ParentCo until the next tax period (when payment is received). ParentCo's related deduction must also be deferred until the later year. The group's consolidated taxable income is $130,000, the sum of ParentCo's and SubCo's separate incomes.

Question 2
ParentCo purchased all of the stock of SubCo on January 2, 2009, and the two companies filed consolidated returns for 2009 and thereafter. Both entities were incorporated in 2008. Taxable income computations for the members include the following. Neither group member incurred any capital gain or loss transactions during these years, nor did they make any charitable contributions. No 382 limit applies.
2008 ParentCo's Taxable Income $100,000 and SubCo's Taxable Income ($75,000) and Consolidated Taxable Income N/A. 2009 ParentCo's Taxable Income $100,000 and SubCo's Taxable Income ($40,000) and Consolidated Taxable Income $60,000. 2010 ParentCo's Taxable Income $100,000 and SubCo's Taxable Income $20,000 and Consolidated Taxable Income ? 2011 ParentCo's Taxable Income $100,000 and SubCo's Taxable Income $125,000 and Consolidated Taxable Income ?
To what extent can SubCo's 2008 losses be used by the group in 2011?
$125,000
Response Feedback:
The $40,000 2009 loss is absorbed in the current year against ParentCo's income. Because the 2008 loss arose in a separate return year, its use as a deduction against group income is limited to the lesser of SubCo's current-year or cumulative positive contribution to consolidated taxable income. For 2009 and 2010, this amount is less than zero. After 2011, SubCo's cumulative contribution to consolidated taxable income was $105,000 = $40,000 loss for 2009 + 2010's $20,000 income + 2011's income of $125,000. Thus, all of the 2008 separate return year $75,000 loss is applied against 2011 income.

Question 3
ParentCo purchased all of the stock of SubCo on January 1, 2009, for $500,000. SubCo produced a loss for 2009 of $150,000 and distributed cash of $25,000 to ParentCo. In 2010, SubCo generated a loss of $750,000; in 2011, it recognized net income of $45,000. What is ParentCo's capital gain or loss if it sells all of its SubCo stock to a nongroup member on January 1, 2012, for $50,000?
$430,000
Response Feedback:
When accumulated deficits in the subsidiary's post-acquisition earnings and profits exceed the acquisition price, an excess loss account is created to permit the group to recognize current subsidiary losses while avoiding a negative stock basis. If the subsidiary stock is sold to a nongroup member, the balance of the excess loss account is recognized as capital gain income
by the seller.

The 2011 net operating loss:
either a or b, but not both

Response Feedback:
The $11,000 (not $20,000) 2011 net operating loss may be carried back against SubCo's 2009 taxable income, as SubCo is solely responsible for generating the loss. Alternatively, ParentCo could elect to forgo the carryback of the 2011 consolidated loss, thus preserving the loss deduction for the group's subsequent years.

To what extent can SubCo's 2008 losses be used by the group in 2011?
$75,000
Response Feedback:
The $40,000 2009 loss is absorbed in the current year against ParentCo's income. Because the 2008 loss arose in a separate return year, its use as a deduction against group income is limited to the lesser of SubCo's current-year or cumulative positive contribution to consolidated taxable income. For 2009 and 2010, this amount is less than zero. After 2011, SubCo's cumulative contribution to consolidated taxable income was $105,000 = $40,000 loss for 2009 + 2010's $20,000 income + 2011's income of $125,000. Thus, all of the 2008 separate return year $75,000 loss is applied against 2011 income.

The Rub, Sal, and Ton Corporations file Federal income tax returns on a consolidated basis. The group's tax return currently is under audit. Under a valid tax-sharing agreement, each corporation is liable for one-third of the group's consolidated tax liability. The affiliates have agreed with the auditor that the group's unpaid liability for the year is $90,000. Because of an incorrect tax return position, another $3,000 in interest and an $1,800 penalty is attributable solely to Ton. At present, only Rub is solvent and has the cash with which to make such a tax payment. What is the maximum amount for which the government could be successful in forcing Rub to satisfy the outstanding liabilities of the consolidated group?
$4,800
Response Feedback:
Each member has joint and several liability for the entire amount of the group's income taxes, interest, and penalties outstanding.

ParentCo purchased all of the stock of SubCo on January 1, 2009, for $500,000. SubCo produced a loss for 2009 of $150,000 and distributed cash of $25,000 to ParentCo. In 2010, SubCo generated a loss of $750,000; in 2011, it recognized net income of $45,000. What is ParentCo's capital gain or loss if it sells all of its SubCo stock to a nongroup member on January 1, 2012, for $50,000?
$430,000
Response Feedback:
When accumulated deficits in the subsidiary's post-acquisition earnings and profits exceed the acquisition price, an excess loss account is created to permit the group to recognize current subsidiary losses while avoiding a negative stock basis. If the subsidiary stock is sold to a nongroup member, the balance of the excess loss account is recognized as capital gain income by the seller.

Martin has a basis in a partnership interest of $100,000. At the end of the current year, the partnership distributed to Martin, in a proportionate nonliquidating distribution, cash of $10,000, inventory (basis to the partnership of $6,000 and fair market value of $12,000), and land (basis to the partnership of $20,000 and fair market value of $15,000). In addition, Martin's share of partnership debt decreased by $10,000 during the year. What basis does Martin take in the inventory and land and in the partnership interest following the distribution?
$12,000 basis in inventory; $15,000 basis in land, $53,000 basis in partnership

Response Feedback:
Basis of Martin's interest $100,000 Less: Cash and deemed cash distribution (20,000), Basis before property distributions $80,000 Less: Inventory distribution (6,000) *Less: Land distribution (20,000)*Basis after property distributions $54,000 Martin's basis in the inventory and land equals the partnership's basis in these properties.

Question 2
A partnership will take a carryover basis in an asset it acquires when:

The partnership acquires the asset through a 1031 like-kind exchange.

Response Feedback:
When a partner contributes an asset to a partnership in exchange for a partnership interest under 721(a), the partnership takes a carryover basis for the asset under 723. Under 1031, a partnership takes a substituted basis for the asset received in the exchange so choice "a" is incorrect. The purchase of an asset from either a partner or an outside party will result in the asset taking a cost basis to the partnership, therefore choice "b" is also incorrect. Choice "d" is incorrect because when a partnership leases an asset from a partner under a shortterm lease the asset is not a partnership asset and is not recorded on the partnership books.

If the IRS treated the transaction as a disguised sale, the partnership's basis in the property would be $50,000. e. None of these statements are correct. A contribution and distribution are presumed to be a disguised sale if they occur within two years (choice a. is true). Conversely, if there is entrepreneurial risk related to the future distribution, the transaction is not generally treated as a disguised sale (choice c. is true). If a transaction is treated as a disguised sale it is treated as a sale for all calculations: The partnership takes a cost ($50,000) basis in the property (choice d. is true).

Wendy receives a proportionate nonliquidating distribution from the WXY Partnership. The distribution consists of $75,000 cash and property with an adjusted basis to the partnership of $20,000 and a fair market value of $25,000. Immediately before the distribution, Wendy's adjusted basis for her partnership interest is $90,000. Wendy's basis in the noncash property received is:
$25,000
Response Feedback:
Wendy's basis in the partnership interest is first reduced to $15,000 by the $75,000 cash distribution. Because this is a nonliquidating distribution, the basis in the noncash property is the lesser of $15,000 (remaining basis in the partnership interest) or the partnership's $20,000 basis in the property. The basis in the property, therefore, is $15,000, and Wendy's basis in the partnership interest is reduced to $0.

General partners are jointly and severally liable for the partnership's debts. Limited partners are not required to make contributions to the entity beyond their contractual obligation for deferred capital contributions. Members of an LLC are generally not liable for entity debts. For states in which limited liability limited partnerships may be formed, neither the general nor the limited partners are liable for entity debts.

Question 7
William's basis in the WAM Partnership interest was $100,000 just before he received a proportionate liquidating distribution consisting of investment land (basis of $30,000, fair market value $40,000), and inventory (basis of $30,000, fair market value $70,000). After the distribution, William's recognized gain or loss and his basis in the land and inventory are:
$0 gain or loss; $70,000 (land); $30,000 (inventory)

Response Feedback:
Under the ordering rules for distributions, cash is distributed first, followed by unrealized receivables and inventory; other assets are distributed last. For William, the inventory is distributed first and takes a carryover basis of $30,000. This reduces William's basis to $70,000. The land is distributed next. Because this is a liquidating distribution, the land absorbs
William's remaining basis in WAM of $70,000. William cannot claim a loss because he has received property other than cash, inventory, and unrealized receivables.

Which of the following tax treatments is not correct?
All of these statements are correct.

Response Feedback:
Chuck's basis in the partnership interest equals the $30,000 cash plus his $40,000 basis in the property contributed. The other three statements are correct. Kevin's basis equals the cash contribution plus the $80,000 basis in the land. Greg's basis equals the $60,000 cash contribution since he had no basis in the property he contributed. The partnership takes a carryover basis in the three contributed properties.

$50,000. The distribution consists of $60,000 cash and noninventory property (adjusted basis to the partnership of $20,000; fair market value of $23,000). How much gain or loss does Marty recognize and what is her basis in the distributed property and in her partnership interest following the distribution?
$10,000 capital gain; $0 basis in property; $0 basis in partnership interest

Response Feedback:
Because Marty received a cash distribution in excess of her basis in the partnership interest before the distribution, she must recognize a capital gain in the amount of that excess, or $10,000 ($60,000 distribution - $50,000 basis before distribution). Her basis in the property she received is limited to the amount of the basis in the partnership interest following the cash distribution, or $0.

Cardinal may deduct the full amount of the organizational costs.

Response Feedback:
Cardinal can deduct the first $5,000 of startup expenses and the remaining $15,000 of such expenses can be amortized over 180 months. Cardinal can deduct the entire $3,000 of organizational costs because the amount is less than $5,000. Cardinal must capitalize the $10,000 transfer tax as part of the basis in the building; this basis is treated as a new asset and depreciated in the same manner in which the underlying building is depreciated.

Question 3
On January 2, 2009, David loans his S corporation $10,000, and by the end of 2009 David's stock basis is zero and the basis in his note has been reduced to $8,000. During 2010, the company's operating income is $10,000. The company also makes distributions to David of $11,000. Which statement is correct?
$11,000 LTCG
Response Feedback:
The $11,000 distribution reduced the $10,000 income, so there is no "net increase" to be applied to the loan basis. Thus, the $11,000 distribution reduces the new $10,000 stock basis to zero, with a $1,000 LTCG.

Question 4
During 2010, Shirley Nutt, the sole shareholder of a calendar year S corporation, received a distribution of $16,000. On December 31, 2009, her stock basis was $4,000. The corporation earned $11,000 ordinary income during the year. It has no accumulated E & P. Which statement is correct?
Nutt's stock basis will be $2,000.

Response Feedback:
$11,000 ordinary income; $15,000 return of capital, $1,000 capital gain. Nutt's stock basis is increased by the $11,000 ordinary income allocable to her, giving a basis of $15,000 before the distribution. The first $15,000 of the distribution is a return of capital, reducing the stock basis to zero. The remaining $1,000 constitutes capital gain (the excess over stock basis).

Question 6
On January 1, 2010, Kinney, Inc. , an electing S corporation, has $4,000 of AEP and a balance of $10,000 in AAA. Kinney has two shareholders, Erin and Maine, each of whom owns 500 shares of Kinney's stock. Kinney's 2010 taxable income is $5,000. Kinney distributes $6,000 to each shareholder on February 1, 2010, and distributes another $3,000 to each shareholder on September 1. How is Erin taxed on this distribution?
$1,500 dividend income

Response Feedback:
AAA is $15,000 ($10,000 + $5,000) as of December 31, 2010, before taking into account the two distributions. Thus, the sum of the distributions ($18,000) exceeds Kinney's AAA by
$3,000. A portion of the $15,000 AAA balance is allocated to each of the February 1 and September 1 distributions, based upon the respective sizes of the distributions, as follows. February 1: $12,000/$18,000 x $15,000 = $10,000 September 1: $6,000/$18,000 x $15,000 = $5,000 Thus, Erin and Maine must both report dividend income of $1,000 for the February 1 distribution and $500 each for the September 1 distribution. Assuming that the shareholders have sufficient basis in their stock, both Erin and Maine each have a $7,500 return of capital from AAA.

Response Feedback:

Question 9
At the beginning of the year, Elsie's basis in the E&G Partnership interest is $60,000. She receives a proportionate nonliquidating distribution from the partnership consisting of $10,000 of cash, unrealized accounts receivable (basis of $0, fair market value $30,000), and inventory (basis of $10,000, fair market value of $20,000). After the distribution, Elsie's bases in the accounts receivable, inventory, and partnership interest are:
$30,000; $20,000; and $0

Response Feedback:
Elsie's $60,000 basis is first reduced by the cash distribution of $10,000 to $50,000. The accounts receivable and inventory are distributed next and take carryover bases of $0 and $10,000, respectively. This reduces the basis in the partnership interest to $40,000.

During the current year, the Madison Trust received $40,000 of taxable interest income, paid trustee's commissions of $4,000, and had no other income or expenses. The trust instrument requires that $20,000 be paid annually to Marilyn, and $40,000 be paid annually to Domingo. How much gross income must Marilyn and Domingo recognize?
$12,000 by Marilyn and $24,000 by Domingo

Response Feedback:
On the first tier, distributable net income of $36,000 is attributable to the two income beneficiaries, pro rata to the amounts required to be distributed to each. Thus, Marilyn recognizes $12,000 (2/6 x $36,000), and Domingo recognizes $24,000 (4/6 x $36,000).

Question 13
The Roz Trust has distributable net income for the year of $100,000 and no income from tax-exempt sources. Under the terms of the trust instrument, the trustee must distribute $30,000 to Roger and $30,000 to Sally. After paying these amounts, the trustee is empowered to make additional distributions at its discretion. Exercising this authority, the trustee distributes an additional $10,000 to Roger and $30,000 to Sally. How much gross income from the trust must Sally recognize?
$80,000
Response Feedback:
Sally is taxed on $30,000 for the first-tier distribution and $30,000 on the second-tier, computed as follows. First tier distributions Roger $30,000 + Sally $30,000 = $60,000 total. Total distributable net income is ($100,000). DNI available for second-tier distribution is $40,000 (difference between $100,000 and $60,000). Second-tier distributions Roger $10,000 + Sally $30,000 = $40,000. Second-tier amount taxable to Roger is 10/40 x $40,000 = $10,000. Secondtier amount taxable to Sally is 30/40 x $40,000 = $30,000.

Sam receives a proportionate nonliquidating distribution when the basis of his partnership interest is $40,000. He received a cash distribution of $25,000 and a property distribution (basis of $10,000 and fair market value of $12,000). In addition, Sam's share of partnership liabilities was reduced by $20,000 during the year. How much gain or loss does Sam recognize; what is his basis in the property he received; and what is his remaining basis in the partnership interest?
$5,000 gain; $0 basis in property; $0 remaining basis

Response Feedback:
Sam's basis is first reduced by the $25,000 cash distribution and the $20,000 relief of liabilities (treated as a cash distribution). As the $45,000 distribution exceeds Sam's basis by $5,000, a $5,000 gain results and Sam's basis is reduced to $0. The property distributed takes the lesser of a carryover basis ($10,000) or Sam's remaining basis in the partnership interest ($0); therefore, Sam has no basis in the property he received and no remaining basis in the partnership interest.
