Abstract: The information in Sec. 1.1502-35T(c) is necessary to ensure that a consolidated group does not obtain more than one tax benefit from both the utilization of a loss from the disposition of stock and the utilization of a loss or deduction with respect to another asset that reflects the same economic loss; to allow the taxpayer to make an election under Sec. 1.1502-35T(c)(5) that would benefit the taxpayer, the election in Sec. 1.1502-35T(f) provides taxpayers the choice in the case of a worthless subsidiary to utilize a worthless stock deduction or absorb the subsidiary's losses; and Sec. 1.1502-35T(g)(3) applies to ensure that taxpayers do not circumvent the loss suspension rule of §1.1502-35T(c) by deconsolidating a subsidiary and then re-importing to the group losses of such subsidiary.
