Title: Consolidated Tax Returns
Abstract: This topic of this paper is Consolidated Tax Returns of Corporates. This paper 
includes an introduction, discussion, and summary of the relevant issues relating to Consolidated 
Tax Returns of Corporates. The references used in this paper are from journal articles or from the 
official website of Internal Revenue Services (IRS).
Introduction:
A consolidated tax return is the return filed by the parent company for the companies affiliated 
with it. The parent company is authorized by all the subsidiary companies to act as their agent 
while dealing with Internal Revenue Service (IRS). The parent company undertakes the 
responsibility to complete all the formalities regarding filing of tax returns, paying of tax and 
receiving refund of tax etc. It is recommended to have an agreement regarding obligation of the 
subsidiary for payment of their share of taxes to the principle and obligation of parent company 
to refund the excess tax paid by subsidiary to the subsidiary. Treasury Regulations section 
1.1502-33(d) provides several methods for allocating the consolidated tax liability among group 
members for earnings and profits purposes, and section 1.1502-32(b)(4)(iv)(D) prescribes how to 
do so for purposes of computing a parent company’s tax basis in the stock of a subsidiary 
member. There is, however, no tax guidance regarding whether and how individual members 
actually, settle their share of the group’s tax liability. The government may feel little need to 
provide such guidance because the consolidated return regulations hold all members severally 
liable for the group’s tax liability [Treasury Regulations section 1.1502-6(a)]. Common items 
that are consolidated include capital gains, net losses, and certain deductions, such 
as from charitable contributions or net operating losses.
Discussion:
(a). Election to file Consolidated Return: Every subsidiary company of the parent should give 
its consent for filing a consolidated return. Consent is given by filing form number 1122.
