    1. The Jerry Lewis group is conducting an analysis which will determine if it will be advantageous to file on a consolidated basis for federal income tax purposes effective for its tax year beginning January 1, 2017. Their analysis is taking longer than anticipated.  What is the latest date that the group can make their decision?  What tax forms must be filed by that date?

    2. The Dylan consolidated group reports the following results for the 2016 tax year:

Entity                    Income or Loss

SubCo 1                    1,500

SubCo 2                    4,000

SubCo 3                    2,000

Assume that a 35% tax rate applies.

What is the Dylan Group’s consolidated taxable income and consolidated tax liability for 2016?
