"Consolidated Net Operating Losses and Consolidated Tax Returns" Based on the lecture, address the following:

Imagine that a client is pursuing the acquisition of Corporation A that has a substantial net operating loss. Corporation B is a member of the controlled group and is currently included in the consolidated tax return that also has a net operating loss. Analyze the potential advantages and disadvantages of Corporation B's acquisition of Corporation A and Corporation A's subsequent inclusion in Corporation B's consolidated tax return.

Suggest the key tax issues the client should consider in determining the deductibility of the net operating losses.

Imagine that corporations P, S, and C are members of a parent-subsidiary controlled group filing a consolidated tax return. Corporations A and B are members of a brother-sister controlled group that cannot file a consolidated tax return. Design a strategy geared toward creating an affiliated group which makes Corporations A, B, P, S, and C all eligible to file a consolidated tax return.
