including the acquisition date.  
Purpose of Form  
However, if an election under section  
338(g) is made for the target, attach the  
form to the old target's deemed sale  
return; not to the selling group's  
consolidated return. See Regulations  
section 1.338-10(a)(2) through (4) for  
details.  
Use Form 8883, Asset Allocation  
Statement Under Section 338, to report  
information about transactions involving  
the deemed sale of corporate assets  
under section 338. This includes  
information previously reported on Form  
8023, Elections Under Section 338 for  
Corporations Making Qualified Stock  
Purchases.  
Definitions  
A qualified stock purchase (QSP) is the  
purchase of stock of at least 80% of the  
total voting power and value of the stock  
of a corporation by another corporation  
during a 12-month period.  
New target. Attach Form 8883 to the first  
return of the new target. If, on the day after  
the acquisition date, the new target is a  
member of a group filing a consolidated  
return, attach the form to the consolidated  
return that includes the day after the  
acquisition date.  
A 12-month acquisition period is the  
12-month period beginning with the first  
acquisition by purchase of stock included  
in the QSP.  
Although you use Form 8023 to make  
an election under section 338, you also  
must file Form 8883 to supply information  
relevant to the election. Timely file Form  
8023 even if you do not have all the  
information required to be supplied  
separately on Form 8883.  
The acquisition date is the first date  
Foreign target. If a section 338(g)  
election is made for a foreign target for  
which Form 5471, Information Return of  
U.S. Persons With Respect to Certain  
Foreign Corporations, must be filed:  
The seller (or U.S. shareholder) must  
attach a copy of Form 8883 to the last  
Form 5471 for the old foreign target.  
The purchaser (or its U.S. shareholder)  
must attach a copy of Form 8883 to the  
first Form 5471 for the new foreign target.  
on which a QSP has occurred.  
Recently purchased target stock is  
any stock in the target corporation that is  
held by the purchasing corporation on the  
acquisition date and was purchased by  
the corporation during the 12-month  
acquisition period. See section 338(h)(1)  
for special rules for stock acquisitions from  
related corporations.  
If an election is made under section  
338 for a qualified purchase of stock of a  
target corporation, the target corporation  
(old target) is deemed to sell its assets to  
a new corporation (new target) at the  
close of the acquisition date. See  
Regulations section 1.338-1 for details.  
There are two types of section 338  
elections. A section 338(g) election is  
made only by the purchasing corporation.  
A section 338(h)(10) election is made  
jointly by both the old target shareholders  
and the purchasing corporation. Form  
8883 must be used to make both types of  
section 338 elections.  
An affiliated group is an affiliated  
group as defined in section 1504(a),  
determined without regard to the  
Supplemental Form 8883  
If the amount allocated to any asset is  
increased or decreased after the year in  
which the sale occurs, any affected party  
must complete Parts I through IV and VI of  
Form 8883 and attach the form to the  
income tax return for the year in which the  
increase or decrease is taken into  
account. See the instructions for Part VI  
and Regulations section 1.338-7 for more  
information.  
exceptions contained in section 1504(b).  
A corporation will be treated as a  
target affiliate (as defined in section  
338(h)(6)) of the target corporation if each  
corporation was, at any time during much  
of the consistency period that ends on the  
acquisition date of the target corporation,  
a member of an affiliate group which had  
the same common parent. Except as  
otherwise provided, a target affiliate does  
not include a foreign corporation, a DISC,  
or a corporation to which section 936  
applies.  
Who Must File  
For elections under sections 338(g) and  
338(h)(10) both the old target and the new  
target must file Form 8883.  
When and How To File  
Penalties  
Generally, attach Form 8883 to the return  
on which the effects of the section 338

the due date of your return and you cannot  
show reasonable cause, you may be

Complete Parts I through IV and Part VI

Part V. Original Statement of  
Assets Transferred  
Allocation of consideration. An  
decrease must be allocated among the  
assets. The reallocation is made in the  
taxable year in which the increase or  
decrease occurs. Give the reason(s) for  
the increase or decrease in allocation.  
Also enter the tax year(s) and the form  
number of the income tax return with  
which the original Form 8883 and any  
supplemental Forms 8883 were filed. For  
example, enter “2017 Form 1120.”  
allocation of ADSP must be made to  
determine the old target's gain or loss on  
the deemed transfer of each asset, and an  
allocation of AGUB must be made to  
determine the new target's basis in each  
acquired asset. Use the residual method  
for making the allocation. The amount  
allocated to an asset, other than a Class  
VII asset, cannot exceed its fair market  
value (FMV) on the acquisition date. For  
purposes of this allocation, FMV is the  
gross fair market value not reduced by  
mortgages, liens, pledges, or other debt.  
The amount allocated to an asset also is  
disposed of to the extent the decrease  
allocated to it would reduce its basis  
below zero.  
Transitional rules for patents, copy-  
rights, and similar property. For  
transactions occurring before January 6,  
2000, the regulations applied special rules  
to the allocation to particular intangible  
assets of increases or decreases in  
consideration. See the regulations in  
effect prior to that time.  
Increases. Allocate an increase in  
consideration by first allocating the  
increase in consideration to Class I and
