ASSIGNMENT QUESTIONS

Forrow Jones and Nena Taylor have decided that for the sake of the business the two of them should no longer co-exist as owners of Two Sisters Enterprises, Inc.

Forrow and Nena are now seeking professional tax advice on how to address their dilemma. They are interested in learning how they can best salvage the business with either one of them or neither of them still involved in the business. In addition to seeking advice on different approaches that can address the present dilemma, the minimization of the income tax consequences to both the business and each of them (as well as Daniel and Eileen) in their individual capacities are of paramount interest to them.

Write a memorandum to Forrow Jones and Nena Taylor explaining the federal income tax consequences to each of them and the corporation if the corporation is dissolved.
