Abstract: Section 1501 of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) states that an affiliated group of corporations shall have the privilege of making a consolidated return with respect to the Federal income taxes for the taxable year in lieu of separate returns. Section 1502 of the Code states that the Secretary of the Treasury shall prescribe such regulations as deemed necessary in order to determine, compute and assess the Federal income tax liability of any affiliated group of corporations making a consolidated Federal income tax return. The rules in Treas. Reg. §§ 1.1502-77, 1.1502-77A, and 1.1502-77B, Rev. Proc. 2002-43 and Rev. Proc. 2015-26 necessitate collecting information from taxpayers in order for the Commissioner to more effectively communicate with the agent to determine the group’s Federal income tax liability.
