2, what if any benefits are there to filling a consolidated tax return?

3, can a non U.S. corporation join in the filing of a consolidated tax return?

4, how do you determine if a corporation has goodwill for tax purposes?

5 assume corporation records goodwill of $18,000,000 in the current year for an acquisition made on June 30. How much if any of the goodwill is deductible in the current year?

6, would it make a difference to your answer in the previous question if the acquisition was stock of a corporation rather than assets of a business? If so how would your answer change and why?

Please answer these questions as soon as possible. Thank you.
