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

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.

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

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),

338(h)(6)) of the target corporation if each
corporation was, at any time during much
of the consistency period that ends on the

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.

target must file Form 8883.

Allocation of consideration. An

the increase or decrease in allocation.

number of the income tax return with
which the original Form 8883 and any

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.
