11.7 Other Considerations

Entities should be mindful of other tax considerations that are not directly related to or within the scope of the accounting literature on business combinations, including those that address deconsolidation, a planned sale or disposal of a business (either of which would trigger discontinued operations presentation in the financial statements), the election of an acquiree to apply pushdown accounting, and other reorganizations or mergers in contemplation of an IPO or related transaction.

If the parent actually contributes a member (corporate subsidiary) to a nontaxable successor entity and the successor entity will continue to own that C corporation, previously allocated deferred taxes would not be eliminated and this guidance would not be applicable. However, such situations are rare.
