    Title: REG-131478-02 (TD 9048; 9254) Guidance under Section 1502; 
Suspension of Losses on Certain Stock Disposition.
    Abstract: The information in Sec.  1.1502-35(c) is necessary to 
ensure that a consolidated group does not obtain more than one tax 
benefit from both the utilization of a loss from the disposition of 
stock and the utilization of a loss or deduction with respect to 
another asset that reflects the same economic loss; to allow the 
taxpayer to make an election under Sec.  1.1502-35(c)(5) that would 
benefit the taxpayer, the election in Sec.  1.1502-35(f) provides 
taxpayers the choice in the case of a worthless subsidiary to utilize a 
worthless stock deduction or absorb the subsidiary's losses; and Sec.  
1.1502-35(g)(3) applies to ensure that taxpayers do not circumvent the 
loss suspension rule of Sec.  1.1502-35(c) by deconsolidating a 
subsidiary and then re-importing to the group losses of such 
subsidiary.
    Affected Public: Private Sector: Business or other for-profits.
