Final Regulations Amplify the Expanded Affiliated Group Production Incentive   
The Expanded Affiliated Group provisions cause companies that are members of the same affiliated group to be treated as one entity. The IRS, in promulgating the Code Sec. 199 domestic production final regulations, added an extensive number of examples to illustrate the Reg. §1.199-7 EAG provisions. 

In their article in Corporate Business Taxation Monthly, Robert Feinschreiber and Margaret Kent explain the legislative background of the EAG provisions and how they work, revealing why the Code Sec. 199 EAG provisions may have a broader impact than the earlier, proposed domestic production EAG provisions.

Court Options Available After Appeals
Most taxpayers successfully resolve their tax issues with the IRS at Appeals, but what can you do if you do not reach a conclusion that you consider satisfactory? Choosing the Tax Court option offers you a judge knowledgeable in tax matters, plus you do not have to pay the tax first. District Court could be better if the contested issue centers on the facts rather than the law. 

Ray Moore, in his article in Executive's Tax & Management Report, shows you when to choose and when not to choose either Tax Court or District Court

Sales Factor Treatment of Sales and Redemptions of Securities in the Aftermath of General Motors and Microsoft

Dividing the tax base of a multistate enterprise is among the most troublesome and complex problems in the field of state taxation. The recent California Supreme Court's decisions in General Motors Corporation v. Franchise Tax Board and Microsoft Corporation v. Franchise Tax Board provide little new guidance on the proper apportionment factor treatment of the sales and redemptions of securities and may have further complicated an already complex area. 

Ann Holley and Douglas Bramhall examine what can be gleaned from the two court cases in their column in the Journal of Taxation of Financial Products
