Sec. 18-4.2. Computation of the alternative minimum tax measured by alternative entire net income on a combined return

Tax Law, § 1462(f)

(a) Each corporation included in the combined return is to compute its alternative entire net income as if it had filed its Federal income tax return on a separate basis. Then, to compute combined alternative entire net income, all intercorporate dividends and intercorporate transactions between the corporations included in the combined return must be eliminated. Intercorporate profits are deferred, capital losses are to be offset against capital gains, and contributions are to be deducted as if the corporations in the group had filed a consolidated Federal income tax return.

(b) If any corporation included in the combined return is deemed to have made the IBF election pursuant to subdivision (c) of section 18-4.1 of this Subpart, all corporations included in the combined return will be deemed to have made the election.

(c) In no event will an item of income or expense of a corporation organized under the laws of a country other than the United States be included in a combined return unless it is includible in alternative entire net income.

(d) As to when combined returns will be permitted or required, see Subpart 21-2 of this Title - Combined Returns.
