Timing of control: A forms NewCo this quarter and initially owns 100%. Three months later, B contributes appreciated equipment for a 30% interest; A’s ownership falls to 70%. No boot is paid. From B’s standpoint, which statement best describes the §351 outcome?

When a corporation’s cash charitable contributions exceed the current-year limit, how is the excess generally treated (ignore temporary statute changes)?

At formation, the parties contribute assets with mixed gains and losses: A transfers loss property (AB $200; FMV $150), and B transfers gain property (AB $100; FMV $190). Assuming §351 applies and the parties do not elect to reduce stock basis, how does §362(e)(2) affect the corporation’s basis in the loss property?

Computational — Corporate Operations (NUMERIC only; CC → DRD) Facts: TI before CC/DRD/NOL = 1,480; CC paid = 210; dividends received = 520 from a 22%-owned domestic corporation; no NOLs. Apply 10% CC limit and §243 rates with ordering CC → DRD. (a1) DRD percentage (enter 50, 65, or 100):  [a1] (a2) DRD amount: [a2] (a3) Does the DRD taxable-income limitation bind? Enter 1 if YES, 0 if NO: [a3] (b1) Allowable current-year CC deduction: [b1] (b2) CC carryforward (if any): [b2] (c) Final taxable income: [c]

In an unrelated fact pattern, a corporation has TI before CC/DRD/NOL of $900, receives $200 of dividends from a 25%-owned domestic corporation, and pays $70 of charitable contributions. After applying DRD rules and CC ordering/limits (and assuming no NOLs), which value is closest to final taxable income?

Computational — §351 Comprehensive (NUMERIC only) Facts: A transfers equipment (AB $120; FMV $220) with a liability 150. B transfers land (AB $300; FMV $260) and cash 40. The corporation issues only voting common stock to each founder; B also receives cash 30. Liabilities are bona fide; no services. (a) §351 applies? Enter 1 if YES, 0 if NO: [a] (b1) A’s recognized gain under §357(c): [b1] (b2) B’s recognized gain (boot-limited):  [b2] (c1) A’s stock basis after the exchange: [c1] (c2) B’s stock basis after the exchange: [c2] (d1) Corporation’s basis in A’s equipment: [d1] (d2) Corporation’s basis in B’s land: [d2]

Which item generally constitutes negative evidence in evaluating the need for a valuation allowance under ASC 740?

Under ASC 740-10-25 (formerly FIN 48), a tax position is initially recognized when the likelihood is:

A mid-size C corporation has taxable income of $1,000 before considering charitable contributions (CC), dividends received deduction (DRD), or any NOL. It pays $160 cash contributions to qualified charities and receives $300 of dividends from a 25%-owned domestic corporation. Under §243, what is the DRD amount (ignore temporary percentage exceptions; consider the taxable-income limitation)?

Shareholder basis computation at formation: A contributes property (AB $180; FMV $260) to CorpZ. CorpZ assumes a bona fide liability of $40, and A also receives $15 of cash (boot). Assume §351 applies and recognized gain equals the lesser of realized gain and boot. Which expression correctly computes A’s stock basis?
