                       TITLE 26--INTERNAL REVENUE
 
    CHAPTER I--INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE, DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY 
                               (CONTINUED)
 
PART 1_INCOME TAXES--Table of Contents
 
Sec. 1.199-7  Expanded affiliated groups.

    (a) In general. The provisions of this section apply solely for 
purposes of section 199 of the Internal Revenue Code (Code). All members 
of an expanded affiliated group (EAG) are treated as a single 
corporation for purposes of section 199. Notwithstanding the preceding 
sentence, except as otherwise provided in the Code and regulations (see, 
for example, sections 199(c)(7) and 267, Sec. 1.199-3(b), paragraph 
(a)(3) of this section, and the consolidated return regulations), each 
member of an EAG is a separate taxpayer that computes its own taxable 
income or loss, qualified production activities income (QPAI) (as 
defined in Sec. 1.199-1(c)), and W-2 wages (as defined in Sec. 1.199-
2(e)). If members of an EAG are also members of a consolidated group, 
see paragraph (d) of this section.
    (1) Definition of expanded affiliated group. An EAG is an affiliated 
group as defined in section 1504(a), determined by substituting more 
than 50 percent for at least 80 percent each place it appears and 
without regard to section 1504(b)(2) and (4).
    (2) Identification of members of an expanded affiliated group--(i) 
In general. A corporation must determine if it is a member of an EAG on 
a daily basis.
    (ii) Becoming or ceasing to be a member of an expanded affiliated 
group. If a corporation becomes or ceases to be a member of an EAG, the 
corporation is treated as becoming or ceasing to be a member of the EAG 
at the end of the day on which its status as a member changes.
    (3) Attribution of activities--(i) In general. If a member of an EAG 
(the disposing member) derives gross receipts (as defined in Sec. 
1.199-3(c)) from the lease, rental, license, sale, exchange, or other 
disposition (as defined in Sec. 1.199-3(i)) of qualifying production 
property (QPP) (as defined in Sec. 1.199-3(j)) that was manufactured, 
produced, grown or extracted (MPGE) (as defined in Sec. 1.199-3(e)), in 
whole or in significant part (as defined in Sec. 1.199-3(g)) in the 
United States (as defined in Sec. 1.199-3(h)), a qualified film (as 
defined in Sec. 1.199-3(k)), or electricity, natural gas, or potable 
water (as defined in Sec. 1.199-3(l)) (collectively, utilities) that 
was produced in the United States, such property was MPGE or produced by 
another corporation (or corporations), and the disposing member is a 
member of the same EAG as the other corporation (or corporations) at the 
time that the disposing member disposes of the QPP, qualified film, or 
utilities, then the disposing member is treated as conducting the 
previous activities conducted by such other corporation (or 
corporations) with respect to the QPP, qualified film, or utilities in 
determining whether its gross receipts are domestic production gross 
receipts (DPGR) (as defined in Sec. 1.199-3(a)). With respect to a 
lease, rental, or license, the disposing member is treated as having 
disposed of the QPP, qualified film, or utilities on the date or dates 
on which it takes into account the gross receipts derived from the 
lease, rental, or license under its methods of accounting. With respect 
to a sale, exchange, or other disposition, the disposing member is 
treated as having disposed of the QPP, qualified film, or utilities on 
the date on which it ceases to own the QPP, qualified film, or utilities 
for Federal income tax purposes, even if no gain or loss is taken into 
account.

[[Page 406]]

    (ii) Special rule. Attribution of activities does not apply for 
purposes of the construction of real property under Sec. 1.199-3(m) or 
the performance of engineering and architectural services under Sec. 
1.199-3(n). A member of an EAG must engage in a construction activity 
under Sec. 1.199-3(m)(2), provide engineering services under Sec. 
1.199-3(n)(2), or provide architectural services under Sec. 1.199-
3(n)(3) in order for the member's gross receipts to be derived from 
construction, engineering, or architectural services.
    (4) Examples. The following examples illustrate the application of 
paragraph (a)(3) of this section. Assume that all taxpayers are calendar 
year taxpayers. The examples are as follows:

    Example 1. Corporations M and N are members of the same EAG. M is 
engaged solely in the trade or business of manufacturing furniture in 
the United States that it sells to unrelated persons. N is engaged 
solely in the trade or business of engraving companies' names on pens 
and pencils purchased from unrelated persons and then selling the pens 
and pencils to such companies. For purposes of this example, assume that 
if N was not a member of an EAG, its activities would not qualify as 
MPGE. Accordingly, although M's sales of the furniture qualify as DPGR 
(assuming all the other requirements of Sec. 1.199-3 are met), N's 
sales of the engraved pens and pencils do not qualify as DPGR because 
neither N nor another member of the EAG MPGE the pens and pencils.
    Example 2. For the entire 2007 year, Corporations A and B are 
members of the same EAG. A is engaged solely in the trade or business of 
MPGE machinery in the United States. A and B each own 45% of partnership 
C and unrelated persons own the remaining 10%. C is engaged solely in 
the trade or business of MPGE the same type of machinery in the United 
States as A. In 2007, B purchases and then resells the machinery MPGE in 
2007 by A and C. B also resells machinery it purchases from unrelated 
persons. If only B's activities were considered, B would not qualify for 
the deduction under Sec. 1.199-1(a) (section 199 deduction). However, 
because at the time B disposes of the machinery B is a member of the EAG 
that includes A, B is treated as conducting A's previous MPGE activities 
in determining whether B's gross receipts from the sale of the machinery 
MPGE by A are DPGR. C is not a member of the EAG and thus C's MPGE 
activities are not attributed to B in determining whether B's gross 
receipts from the sale of the machinery MPGE by C are DPGR. Accordingly, 
B's gross receipts attributable to its sale of the machinery it 
purchases from A are DPGR (assuming all the other requirements of Sec. 
1.199-3 are met). B's gross receipts attributable to its sale of the 
machinery it purchases from C and from the unrelated persons are non-
DPGR because no member of the EAG MPGE the machinery and because C does 
not qualify as an EAG partnership.
    Example 3. The facts are the same as in Example 2 except that rather 
than reselling the machinery, B rents the machinery to unrelated persons 
and B takes the gross receipts attributable to the rental of the 
machinery into account under its methods of accounting in 2007, 2008, 
and 2009. In addition, as of the close of business on December 31, 2008, 
A and B cease to be members of the same EAG. With respect to the 
machinery acquired from C and the unrelated persons, B's gross receipts 
attributable to the rental of the machinery in 2007, 2008, and 2009 are 
non-DPGR because no member of the EAG MPGE the machinery and because C 
does not qualify as an EAG partnership. With respect to machinery 
acquired from A, B's gross receipts in 2007 and 2008 attributable to the 
rental of the machinery are DPGR because at the time B takes into 
account the gross receipts derived from the rental of the machinery 
under its methods of accounting, B is a member of the same EAG as A and 
B is treated as conducting A's previous MPGE activities. However, with 
respect to the rental receipts in 2009, because A and B are not members 
of the same EAG in 2009, B's rental receipts are non-DPGR.
    Example 4. For the entire 2007 year, Corporation P owns over 50% of 
the stock of Corporation S. In 2007, P MPGE QPP in the United States and 
transfers the QPP to S. On February 28, 2008, P disposes of stock of S, 
reducing P's ownership of S below 50% and P and S cease to be members of 
the same EAG. On June 30, 2008, S sells the QPP to an unrelated person. 
Unless P's transfer of the QPP to S took place in a transaction to which 
section 381(a) applies (see Sec. 1.199-8(e)(3)), because S is not a 
member of the same EAG as P on June 30, 2008, S is not treated as 
conducting the activities conducted by P in determining if S's receipts 
are DPGR, notwithstanding that P and S were members of the same EAG when 
P MPGE the QPP and when P transferred the QPP to S.
    Example 5. For the entire 2007 year, Corporations X and Y are 
unrelated corporations. In 2007, X MPGE QPP in the United States and 
sells the QPP to Y. On August 31, 2008, X acquires over 50% of the stock 
of Y, thus making X and Y members of the same EAG. On November 30, 2008, 
Y sells the QPP to an unrelated person. Because X and Y are members of 
the same EAG on November 30, 2008, Y is treated as conducting the 
activities conducted by X in 2007 in determining if Y's receipts are 
DPGR, notwithstanding that X and Y were not members of the same EAG

[[Page 407]]

when X MPGE the QPP nor when X sold the QPP to Y.

    (5) Anti-avoidance rule. If a transaction between members of an EAG 
is engaged in or structured with a principal purpose of qualifying for, 
or increasing the amount of, the section 199 deduction of the EAG or the 
portion of the section 199 deduction allocated to one or more members of 
the EAG, adjustments must be made to eliminate the effect of the 
transaction on the computation of the section 199 deduction.
    (b) Computation of expanded affiliated group's section 199 
deduction--(1) In general. The section 199 deduction for an EAG is 
determined by the EAG by aggregating each member's taxable income or 
loss, QPAI, and W-2 wages, if any. For purposes of this determination, a 
member's QPAI may be positive or negative. A member's taxable income or 
loss and QPAI shall be determined by reference to the member's methods 
of accounting.
    (2) Example. The following example illustrates the application of 
paragraph (b)(1) of this section:

    Example. Corporations X, Y, and Z, calendar year taxpayers, are the 
only members of an EAG and are not members of a consolidated group. X 
has taxable income of $50,000, QPAI of $15,000, and W-2 wages of $1,000. 
Y has taxable income of ($20,000), QPAI of ($1,000), and W-2 wages of 
$750. Z has $0 taxable income and $0 QPAI, but has W-2 wages of $2,000. 
In determining the EAG's section 199 deduction, the EAG aggregates each 
member's taxable income or loss, QPAI, and W-2 wages. Accordingly, the 
EAG has taxable income of $30,000 ($50,000 + ($20,000) + $0), QPAI of 
$14,000 ($15,000 + ($1,000) + $0), and W-2 wages of $3,750 ($1,000 + 
$750 + $2,000).

    (3) Net operating loss carrybacks and carryovers. In determining the 
taxable income of an EAG, if a member of an EAG has a net operating loss 
(NOL) carryback or carryover to the taxable year, then the amount of the 
NOL used to offset taxable income cannot exceed the taxable income of 
that member.
    (4) Losses used to reduce taxable income of expanded affiliated 
group--(i) In general. The amount of an NOL sustained by any member of 
an EAG that is used in the year sustained in determining an EAG's 
taxable income limitation under section 199(a)(1)(B) is not treated as 
an NOL carryover or NOL carryback to any taxable year in determining the 
taxable income limitation under section 199(a)(1)(B). For purposes of 
this paragraph (b)(4), an NOL is considered to be used if it reduces an 
EAG's aggregate taxable income, regardless of whether the use of the NOL 
actually reduces the amount of the section 199 deduction that the EAG 
would otherwise derive. An NOL is not considered to be used to the 
extent that it reduces an EAG's aggregate taxable income to an amount 
less than zero. If more than one member of an EAG has an NOL used in the 
same taxable year to reduce the EAG's taxable income, the members' 
respective NOLs are deemed used in proportion to the amount of their 
NOLs.
    (ii) Examples. The following examples illustrate the application of 
this paragraph (b)(4). For purposes of these examples, assume that all 
relevant parties have sufficient W-2 wages so that the section 199 
deduction is not limited under section 199(b)(1). The examples read as 
follows:

    Example 1. (i) Facts. Corporations A and B are the only two members 
of an EAG. A and B are both calendar year taxpayers, and they do not 
join in the filing of a consolidated Federal income tax return. Neither 
A nor B had taxable income or loss prior to 2010. In 2010, A has QPAI 
and taxable income of $1,000, and B has QPAI of $1,000 and an NOL of 
$1,500. In 2011, A has QPAI of $2,000 and taxable income of $1,000 and B 
has QPAI of $2,000 and taxable income prior to the NOL deduction allowed 
under section 172 of $2,000.
    (ii) Section 199 deduction for 2010. In determining the EAG's 
section 199 deduction for 2010, A's $1,000 of QPAI and B's $1,000 of 
QPAI are aggregated, as are A's $1,000 of taxable income and B's $1,500 
NOL. Thus, for 2010, the EAG has QPAI of $2,000 and taxable income of 
($500). The EAG's section 199 deduction for 2010 is 9% of the lesser of 
its QPAI or its taxable income. Because the EAG has a taxable loss in 
2010, the EAG's section 199 deduction is $0.
    (iii) Section 199 deduction for 2011. In determining the EAG's 
section 199 deduction for 2011, A's $2,000 of QPAI and B's $2,000 of 
QPAI are aggregated, giving the EAG QPAI of $4,000. Also, $1,000 of B's 
NOL from 2010 was used in 2010 to reduce the EAG's taxable income to $0. 
The remaining $500 of B's 2010 NOL is not considered to have been used 
in 2010 because it reduced the EAG's taxable income below $0. 
Accordingly, for purposes of determining the EAG's taxable income 
limitation under section 199(a)(1)(B) in 2011, B is deemed to have only 
a $500 NOL carryover

[[Page 408]]

from 2010 to offset a portion of its 2011 taxable income. Thus, B's 
taxable income in 2011 is $1,500 which is aggregated with A's $1,000 of 
taxable income. The EAG's taxable income limitation in 2011 is $2,500. 
The EAG's section 199 deduction is 9% of the lesser of its QPAI of 
$4,000 or its taxable income of $2,500. Thus, the EAG's section 199 
deduction in 2011 is 9% of $2,500, or $225. The results would be the 
same if neither A nor B had QPAI in 2010.
    Example 2. The facts are the same as in Example 1 except that in 
2010 B was not a member of the same EAG as A, but instead was a member 
of an EAG with Corporation X, which had QPAI and taxable income of 
$1,000 in 2010, and had neither taxable income nor loss in any other 
year. There were no other members of the EAG in 2010 besides B and X, 
and B and X did not file a consolidated Federal income tax return. As 
$1,000 of B's NOL was used in 2010 to reduce the B and X EAG's taxable 
income to $0, B is considered to have only a $500 NOL carryover from 
2010 to offset a portion of its 2011 taxable income for purposes of the 
taxable income limitation under section 199(a)(1)(B), just as in Example 
1. Accordingly, the results for the A and B EAG in 2011 are the same as 
in Example 1.
    Example 3. The facts are the same as in Example 1 except that B is 
not a member of any EAG in 2011. Because $1,000 of B's NOL was used in 
2010 to reduce the EAG's taxable income to $0, B is considered to have 
only a $500 NOL carryover from 2010 to offset a portion of its 2011 
taxable income for purposes of the taxable income limitation under 
section 199(a)(1)(B), just as in Example 1. Thus, for purposes of 
determining B's taxable income limitation in 2011, B is considered to 
have taxable income of $1,500, and B has a section 199 deduction of 9% 
of $1,500, or $135.
    Example 4. Corporations A, B, and C are the only members of an EAG. 
A, B, and C are all calendar year taxpayers, and they do not join in the 
filing of a consolidated Federal income tax return. None of the EAG 
members (A, B, or C) had taxable income or loss prior to 2010. In 2010, 
A has QPAI of $2,000 and taxable income of $1,000, B has QPAI of $1,000 
and an NOL of $1,000, and C has QPAI of $1,000 and an NOL of $3,000. In 
2011, prior to the NOL deduction allowed under section 172, A and B each 
has taxable income of $200 and C has taxable income of $5,000. In 
determining the EAG's section 199 deduction for 2010, A's QPAI of 
$2,000, B's QPAI of $1,000, and C's QPAI of $1,000 are aggregated, as 
are A's taxable income of $1,000, B's NOL of $1,000, and C's NOL of 
$3,000. Thus, for 2010, the EAG has QPAI of $4,000 and taxable income of 
($3,000). In determining the EAG's taxable income limitation under 
section 199(a)(1)(B) in 2011, $1,000 of B's and C's aggregate NOLs in 
2010 of $4,000 are considered to have been used in 2010 to reduce the 
EAG's taxable income to $0, in proportion to their NOLs. Thus, $250 of 
B's NOL from 2010 ($1,000 x $1,000/$4,000) and $750 of C's NOL from 2010 
($1,000 x $3,000/$4,000) are deemed to have been used in 2010. The 
remaining $750 of B's NOL and the remaining $2,250 of C's NOL are not 
deemed to have been used because so doing would have reduced the EAG's 
taxable income in 2010 below $0. Accordingly, for purposes of 
determining the EAG's taxable income limitation in 2011, B is deemed to 
have a $750 NOL carryover from 2010 and C is deemed to have a $2,250 NOL 
carryover from 2010. Thus, for purposes of determining the EAG's taxable 
income limitation, B's taxable income in 2011 is $0 and C's taxable 
income in 2011 is $2,750, which are aggregated with A's $200 taxable 
income. B's unused NOL carryover from 2010 cannot be used to reduce 
either A's or C's 2011 taxable income. Thus, the EAG's taxable income 
limitation in 2011 is $2,950, A's taxable income of $200 plus B's 
taxable income of $0 plus C's taxable income of $2,750.
    (c) Allocation of an expanded affiliated group's section 199 
deduction among members of the expanded affiliated group--(1) In 
general. An EAG's section 199 deduction as determined in paragraph 
(b)(1) of this section is allocated among the members of the EAG in 
proportion to each member's QPAI, regardless of whether the EAG member 
has taxable income or loss or W-2 wages for the taxable year. For this 
purpose, if a member has negative QPAI, the QPAI of the member shall be 
treated as zero.
    (2) Use of section 199 deduction to create or increase a net 
operating loss. Notwithstanding Sec. 1.199-1(b), if a member of an EAG 
has some or all of the EAG's section 199 deduction allocated to it under 
paragraph (c)(1) of this section and the amount allocated exceeds the 
member's taxable income (determined prior to allocation of the section 
199 deduction), the section 199 deduction will create an NOL for the 
member. Similarly, if a member of an EAG, prior to the allocation of 
some or all of the EAG's section 199 deduction to the member, has an NOL 
for the taxable year, the portion of the EAG's section 199 deduction 
allocated to the member will increase the member's NOL.
    (d) Special rules for members of the same consolidated group--(1) 
Intercompany transactions. In the case of an intercompany transaction 
between consolidated group members S and B (as the terms intercompany 
transaction, S, and B are defined in Sec. 1.1502-13(b)(1)), S takes the 
intercompany

[[Page 409]]

transaction into account in computing the section 199 deduction at the 
same time and in the same proportion as S takes into account the income, 
gain, deduction, or loss from the intercompany transaction under Sec. 
1.1502-13.
    (2) Attribution of activities in the construction of real property 
and the performance of engineering and architectural services. 
Notwithstanding paragraph (a)(3)(ii) of this section, a disposing member 
(as described in paragraph (a)(3)(i) of this section) is treated as 
conducting the previous activities conducted by each other member of its 
consolidated group with respect to the construction of real property 
under Sec. 1.199-3(m) and the performance of engineering and 
architectural services under Sec. 1.199-3(n), but only with respect to 
activities performed during the period of consolidation.
    (3) Application of the simplified deduction method and the small 
business simplified overall method. For purposes of applying the 
simplified deduction method under Sec. 1.199-4(e) and the small 
business simplified overall method under Sec. 1.199-4(f), a 
consolidated group determines its QPAI using its members' DPGR, non-
DPGR, cost of goods sold (CGS), and all other deductions, expenses, or 
losses (deductions), determined after application of Sec. 1.1502-13.
    (4) Determining the section 199 deduction--(i) Expanded affiliated 
group consists of consolidated group and non-consolidated group members. 
In determining the section 199 deduction, if an EAG includes 
corporations that are members of the same consolidated group and 
corporations that are not members of the same consolidated group, the 
consolidated taxable income or loss, QPAI, and W-2 wages, if any, of the 
consolidated group (and not the separate taxable income or loss, QPAI, 
and W-2 wages of the members of the consolidated group), are aggregated 
with the taxable income or loss, QPAI, and W-2 wages, if any, of the 
non-consolidated group members. For example, if A, B, C, S1, and S2 are 
members of the same EAG, and A, S1, and S2 are members of the same 
consolidated group (the A consolidated group), then the A consolidated 
group is treated as one member of the EAG. Accordingly, the EAG is 
considered to have three members, the A consolidated group, B, and C. 
The consolidated taxable income or loss, QPAI, and W-2 wages, if any, of 
the A consolidated group are aggregated with the taxable income or loss, 
QPAI, and W-2 wages, if any, of B and C in determining the EAG's section 
199 deduction.
    (ii) Expanded affiliated group consists only of members of a single 
consolidated group. If all the members of an EAG are members of the same 
consolidated group, the consolidated group's section 199 deduction is 
determined using the consolidated group's consolidated taxable income or 
loss, QPAI, and W-2 wages, rather than the separate taxable income or 
loss, QPAI, and W-2 wages of its members.
    (5) Allocation of the section 199 deduction of a consolidated group 
among its members. The section 199 deduction of a consolidated group (or 
the section 199 deduction allocated to a consolidated group that is a 
member of an EAG) is allocated to the members of the consolidated group 
in proportion to each consolidated group member's QPAI, regardless of 
whether the consolidated group member has separate taxable income or 
loss or W-2 wages for the taxable year. In allocating the section 199 
deduction of a consolidated group among its members, any redetermination 
of a corporation's receipts, CGS, or other deductions from an 
intercompany transaction under Sec. 1.1502-13(c)(1)(i) or (c)(4) for 
purposes of section 199 is not taken into account. Also, for purposes of 
this allocation, if a consolidated group member has negative QPAI, the 
QPAI of the member shall be treated as zero.
    (e) Examples. The following examples illustrate the application of 
paragraphs (a) through (d) of this section:

    Example 1. Corporations X and Y are members of the same EAG but are 
not members of a consolidated group. All the activities described in 
this example take place during the same taxable year. X and Y each use 
the section 861 method described in Sec. 1.199-4(d) for allocating and 
apportioning their deductions. X incurs $5,000 in costs in manufacturing 
a machine, all of which are capitalized. X is entitled to a $1,000 
depreciation deduction for the machine in the current taxable year. X 
rents the machine to Y for $1,500. Y uses the machine in manufacturing 
QPP within the United States. Y incurs

[[Page 410]]

$1,400 of CGS in manufacturing the QPP. Y sells the QPP to unrelated 
persons for $7,500. Pursuant to section 199(c)(7) and Sec. 1.199-3(b), 
X's rental income is non-DPGR (and its related costs are not 
attributable to DPGR). Accordingly, Y has $4,600 of QPAI (Y's $7,500 
DPGR received from unrelated persons-Y's $1,400 CGS allocable to such 
receipts-Y's $1,500 of rental expense), X has $0 of QPAI, and the EAG 
has $4,600 of QPAI.
    Example 2. The facts are the same as in Example 1 except that X and 
Y are members of the same consolidated group. Pursuant to section 
199(c)(7) and Sec. 1.199-3(b), X's rental income ordinarily would not 
be DPGR (and its related costs would not be allocable to DPGR). However, 
because X and Y are members of the same consolidated group, Sec. 
1.1502-13(c)(1)(i) provides that the separate entity attributes of X's 
intercompany items or Y's corresponding items, or both, may be 
redetermined in order to produce the same effect as if X and Y were 
divisions of a single corporation. If X and Y were divisions of a single 
corporation, X and Y would have QPAI of $5,100 ($7,500 DPGR received 
from unrelated persons-$1,400 CGS allocable to such receipts-$1,000 
depreciation deduction). To obtain this same result for the consolidated 
group, X's rental income is redetermined as DPGR, which results in the 
consolidated group having $9,000 of DPGR (the sum of Y's DPGR of $7,500 
+ X's DPGR of $1,500) and $3,900 of costs allocable to DPGR (the sum of 
Y's $1,400 CGS + Y's $1,500 rental expense + X's $1,000 depreciation 
expense). For purposes of determining how much of the consolidated 
group's section 199 deduction is allocated to X and Y, pursuant to 
paragraph (d)(5) of this section, the redetermination of X's rental 
income as DPGR under Sec. 1.1502-13(c)(1)(i) is not taken into account 
(X's costs are considered to be allocable to DPGR because they are 
allocable to the consolidated group deriving DPGR). Accordingly, for 
this purpose, X is deemed to have ($1,000) of QPAI (X's $0 DPGR-X's 
$1,000 depreciation deduction). Because X is deemed to have negative 
QPAI, also pursuant to paragraph (d)(5) of this section, X's QPAI is 
treated as zero. Y has $4,600 of QPAI (Y's $7,500 DPGR-Y's $1,400 CGS 
allocable to such receipts-Y's $1,500 of rental expense). Accordingly, X 
is allocated $0/($0 + $4,600) of the consolidated group's section 199 
deduction and Y is allocated $4,600/($0 + $4,600) of the consolidated 
group's section 199 deduction.
    Example 3. Corporations P and S are members of the same EAG but are 
not members of a consolidated group. P and S each use the section 861 
method for allocating and apportioning their deductions and are both 
calendar year taxpayers. In 2007, P incurs $1,000 in research and 
development expenses in creating an intangible asset and deducts these 
expenses in 2007. P anticipates that it will license the intangible 
asset to S. On January 1, 2008, P licenses the intangible asset to S for 
$2,500. S uses the intangible asset in manufacturing QPP within the 
United States. S incurs $2,000 of additional costs in manufacturing the 
QPP. On December 31, 2008, S sells the QPP to unrelated persons for 
$10,000. Because on December 31, 2007, P anticipates that it will 
license the intangible asset to S, a related person, and also because 
the intangible asset is not QPP, P's license receipts from S will be 
non-DPGR. Accordingly, P's research and development expenses in 2007 are 
not attributable to DPGR. In 2008, S has $5,500 of QPAI (S's $10,000 
DPGR received from unrelated persons-S's $2,000 additional costs in 
manufacturing the QPP-S's $2,500 of license expense), P has $0 of QPAI, 
and the EAG has $5,500 of QPAI.
    Example 4. (i) Determination of consolidated group's QPAI. The facts 
are the same as in Example 3 except that P and S are members of the same 
consolidated group. Pursuant to section 199(c)(7) and Sec. 1.199-3(b), 
and also because the intangible asset is not QPP, P's license income 
ordinarily would not be DPGR (and its related costs would not be 
allocable to DPGR). However, because P and S are members of the same 
consolidated group, Sec. 1.1502-13(c)(1)(i) provides that the separate 
entity attributes of P's intercompany items or S's corresponding items, 
or both, may be redetermined in order to produce the same effect as if P 
and S were divisions of a single corporation. If P and S were divisions 
of a single corporation, in 2007 the single corporation would have 
$1,000 of expenses allocable to the anticipated DPGR from the sale of 
the QPP to unrelated persons, resulting in a negative QPAI (from this 
individual item) of $1,000. In 2008, the single corporation would have 
QPAI of $8,000 ($10,000 DPGR received from unrelated persons-$2,000 
additional costs in manufacturing the QPP). To obtain this same result 
for the consolidated group, P's license income from S is redetermined as 
DPGR. P's research and development expenses are allocable to DPGR. This 
results in the consolidated group having negative QPAI in 2007 (from the 
research and development expense) of $1,000. In 2008, the consolidated 
group has $12,500 of DPGR (the sum of S's DPGR of $10,000 + P's DPGR of 
$2,500) and $4,500 of costs allocable to DPGR (the sum of S's $2,000 
additional costs + S's $2,500 license expense), resulting in $8,000 of 
QPAI in 2008.
    (ii) Allocation of deduction. Since the consolidated group has no 
QPAI in 2007, there is no section 199 deduction to be allocated between 
P and S in 2007. In 2008, the consolidated group has $8,000 of QPAI and, 
assuming that the group has positive taxable income and W-2 wages, the 
consolidated group will have a section 199 deduction. For purposes of 
determining how much of the consolidated group's section 199 deduction 
is allocated to P and S, pursuant to paragraph (d)(5) of this section, 
the redetermination of P's license

[[Page 411]]

income as DPGR under Sec. 1.1502-13(c)(1)(i) is not taken into account. 
Accordingly, for purposes of allocating the consolidated group's section 
199 deduction between P and S, P is deemed to have $0 DPGR and $0 QPAI 
in 2008. S has $5,500 of QPAI (S's $10,000 DPGR - S's $2,000 in 
additional costs allocable to such receipts - S's $2,500 of license 
expense). Accordingly, P is allocated $0/($0 + $5,500) of the 
consolidated group's section 199 deduction in 2008 and S is allocated 
$5,500/($0 + $5,500) of the consolidated group's section 199 deduction.
    Example 5. (i) Facts. Corporations A and B are the only two members 
of an EAG but are not members of a consolidated group. A and B each file 
Federal income tax returns on a calendar year basis. The average annual 
gross receipts of the EAG are less than or equal to $100,000,000 and A 
and B each use the simplified deduction method under Sec. 1.199-4(e). 
In 2007, A MPGE televisions within the United States. A has $10,000,000 
of DPGR from sales of televisions to unrelated persons and $2,000,000 of 
DPGR from sales of televisions to B. In addition, A has gross receipts 
from computer consulting services with unrelated persons of $3,000,000. 
A has CGS of $6,000,000. A is able to determine from its books and 
records that $4,500,000 of its CGS are attributable to televisions sold 
to unrelated persons and $1,500,000 are attributable to televisions sold 
to B (see Sec. 1.199-4(b)(2)). A has other deductions of $4,000,000. A 
has no other items of income, gain, or deductions. In 2007, B sells the 
televisions it purchased from A to unrelated persons for $4,100,000. B 
also pays $100,000 for administrative services performed in 2007. B has 
no other items of income, gain, or deductions.
    (ii) QPAI. (A) A's QPAI. In order to determine A's QPAI, A subtracts 
its $6,000,000 CGS from its $12,000,000 DPGR. Under the simplified 
deduction method, A then apportions its remaining $4,000,000 of 
deductions to DPGR in proportion to the ratio of its DPGR to total gross 
receipts. Thus, of A's $4,000,000 of deductions, $3,200,000 is 
apportioned to DPGR ($4,000,000 x $12,000,000/$15,000,000). Accordingly, 
A's QPAI is $2,800,000 ($12,000,000 DPGR-$6,000,000 CGS-$3,200,000 
deductions apportioned to its DPGR).
    (B) B's QPAI. Although B did not MPGE the televisions it sold, 
pursuant to paragraph (a)(3) of this section, B is treated as conducting 
A's MPGE of the televisions in determining whether B's gross receipts 
are DPGR. Thus, B has $4,100,000 of DPGR. In order to determine B's 
QPAI, B subtracts its $2,000,000 CGS from its $4,100,000 DPGR. Under the 
simplified deduction method, B then apportions its remaining $100,000 of 
deductions to DPGR in proportion to the ratio of its DPGR to total gross 
receipts. Thus, because B has no other gross receipts, all of B's 
$100,000 of deductions is apportioned to DPGR ($100,000 x $4,100,000/
$4,100,000). Accordingly, B's QPAI is $2,000,000 ($4,100,000 DPGR-
$2,000,000 CGS-$100,000 deductions apportioned to its DPGR).
    Example 6. (i) Facts. The facts are the same as in Example 5 except 
that A and B are members of the same consolidated group, B does not sell 
the televisions purchased from A until 2008, and B's $100,000 paid for 
administrative services are paid in 2008 for services performed in 2008. 
In addition, in 2008, A has $3,000,000 in gross receipts from computer 
consulting services with unrelated persons and $1,000,000 in related 
deductions.
    (ii) Consolidated group's 2007 QPAI. The consolidated group's DPGR 
and total gross receipts in 2007 are $10,000,000 and $13,000,000, 
respectively, because, pursuant to paragraph (d)(1) of this section and 
Sec. 1.1502-13, the sale of the televisions from A to B is not taken 
into account in 2007. In order to determine the consolidated group's 
QPAI, the consolidated group subtracts its $4,500,000 CGS from the 
televisions sold to unrelated persons from its $10,000,000 DPGR. Under 
the simplified deduction method, the consolidated group apportions its 
remaining $4,000,000 of deductions to DPGR in proportion to the ratio of 
its DPGR to total gross receipts. Thus, $3,076,923 ($4,000,000 x 
$10,000,000/$13,000,000) is allocated to DPGR. Accordingly, the 
consolidated group's QPAI for 2007 is $2,423,077 ($10,000,000 DPGR-
$4,500,000 CGS-$3,076,923 deductions apportioned to its DPGR).
    (iii) Allocation of consolidated group's 2007 section 199 deduction 
to its members. Because B's only activity during 2007 is the purchase of 
televisions from A, B has no DPGR or deductions and thus, no QPAI, in 
2007. Accordingly, the entire section 199 deduction in 2007 for the 
consolidated group will be allocated to A.
    (iv) Consolidated group's 2008 QPAI. Pursuant to paragraph (d)(1) of 
this section and Sec. 1.1502-13(c), A's sale of televisions to B in 
2007 is taken into account in 2008 when B sells the televisions to 
unrelated persons. However, because A and B are members of a 
consolidated group, Sec. 1.1502-13(c)(1)(i) provides that the separate 
entity attributes of A's intercompany items or B's corresponding items, 
or both, may be redetermined in order to produce the same effect as if A 
and B were divisions of a single corporation. Accordingly, A's 
$2,000,000 of gross receipts are redetermined to be non-DPGR and as not 
being gross receipts for purposes of allocating costs between DPGR and 
non-DPGR, and B's $2,000,000 CGS are redetermined to be not allocable to 
DPGR. Notwithstanding that A's receipts are redetermined to be non-DPGR 
and as not being gross receipts for purposes of allocating costs between 
DPGR and non-DPGR, A's CGS are still considered to be allocable to DPGR 
because they are allocable to the consolidated group deriving DPGR. 
Accordingly, the consolidated group's DPGR

[[Page 412]]

in 2008 is $4,100,000 from B's sales of televisions, and its total 
receipts are $7,100,000 ($4,100,000 DPGR plus $3,000,000 non-DPGR from 
A's computer consulting services). To determine the consolidated group's 
QPAI, the consolidated group subtracts A's $1,500,000 CGS from the 
televisions sold to B from its $4,100,000 DPGR. Under the simplified 
deduction method, the consolidated group apportions its remaining 
$1,100,000 of deductions ($1,000,000 from A and $100,000 from B) to DPGR 
in proportion to the consolidated group's ratio of its DPGR to total 
gross receipts. Thus, $635,211 ($1,100,000 x $4,100,000/$7,100,000) is 
allocated to DPGR. Accordingly, the consolidated group's QPAI for 2008 
is $1,964,789 ($4,100,000 DPGR-$1,500,000 CGS-$635,211 deductions 
apportioned to its DPGR), the same QPAI that would result if A and B 
were divisions of a single corporation.
    (v) Allocation of consolidated group's 2008 section 199 deduction to 
its members. (A) A's QPAI. For purposes of allocating the consolidated 
group's section 199 deduction to its members, pursuant to paragraph 
(d)(5) of this section, the redetermination of A's $2,000,000 in 
receipts is disregarded. Accordingly, for this purpose, A's DPGR are 
$2,000,000 (receipts from the sale of televisions to B taken into 
account in 2008) and its total receipts are $5,000,000 ($2,000,000 DPGR 
+ $3,000,000 non-DPGR from its computer consulting services). In 
determining A's QPAI, A subtracts its $1,500,000 CGS from the 
televisions sold to B from its $2,000,000 DPGR. Under the simplified 
deduction method, A apportions its remaining $1,000,000 of deductions in 
proportion to the ratio of its DPGR to total receipts. Thus, $400,000 
($1,000,000 x $2,000,000/$5,000,000) is allocated to DPGR. Thus, A's 
QPAI is $100,000 ($2,000,000 DPGR-$1,500,000 CGS-$400,000 deductions 
allocated to its DPGR).
    (B) B's QPAI. B's DPGR and its total gross receipts are each 
$4,100,000. For purposes of allocating the consolidated group's section 
199 deduction to its members, pursuant to paragraph (d)(5) of this 
section, the redetermination of B's $2,000,000 CGS as not allocable to 
DPGR is disregarded. In determining B's QPAI, B subtracts its $2,000,000 
CGS from the televisions purchased from A from its $4,100,000 DPGR. 
Under the simplified deduction method, B apportions its remaining 
$100,000 deductions in proportion to the ratio of its DPGR to total 
receipts. Thus, all $100,000 ($100,000 x $4,100,000/$4,100,000) is 
allocated to DPGR. Thus, B's QPAI is $2,000,000 ($4,100,000 DPGR-
$2,000,000 CGS-$100,000 deductions allocated to its DPGR).
    (C) Allocation to A and B. Pursuant to paragraph (d)(5) of this 
section, the consolidated group's section 199 deduction for 2008 is 
allocated $100,000/($100,000 + $2,000,000) to A and $2,000,000/($100,000 
+ $2,000,000) to B.
    Example 7. Corporations S and B are members of the same consolidated 
group that files its Federal income tax returns on a calendar year 
basis. In 2007, S manufactures office furniture for B to use in B's 
corporate headquarters and S sells the office furniture to B. S and B 
have no other activities in the taxable year. If S and B were not 
members of a consolidated group, S's gross receipts from the sale of the 
office furniture to B would be DPGR (assuming all the other requirements 
of Sec. 1.199-3 are met) and S's CGS or other deductions, expenses, or 
losses from the sale to B would be allocable to S's DPGR. However, 
because S and B are members of a consolidated group, the separate entity 
attributes of S's intercompany items or B's corresponding items, or 
both, may be redetermined under Sec. 1.1502-13(c)(1)(i) or (c)(4) in 
order to produce the same effect as if S and B were divisions of a 
single corporation. If S and B were divisions of a single corporation, 
there would be no DPGR with respect to the office furniture because 
there would be no lease, rental, license, sale, exchange, or other 
disposition of the furniture by the single corporation (and no CGS or 
other deductions allocable to DPGR). Thus, in order to produce the same 
effect as if S and B were divisions of a single corporation, S's gross 
receipts are redetermined as non-DPGR. Accordingly, the consolidated 
group has no DPGR (and no CGS or other deductions allocated or 
apportioned to DPGR) and receives no section 199 deduction in 2007.
    Example 8. (i) Facts. A and B are members of the same consolidated 
group that files its Federal income tax returns on a calendar year 
basis. On January 1, 2007, A MPGE QPP which is 10-year recovery property 
for $100 and depreciates it under the straight-line method. On January 
1, 2009, A sells the property to B for $130. Under section 168(i)(7), B 
is treated as A for purposes of section 168 to the extent B's $130 basis 
does not exceed A's adjusted basis at the time of the sale. B's 
additional basis is treated as new 10-year recovery property for which B 
elects the straight-line method of recovery. (To simplify the example, 
the half-year convention is disregarded.)
    (ii) Depreciation; intercompany gain. A claims $10 of depreciation 
for each taxable year 2007 and 2008 and has an $80 basis at the time of 
the sale to B. Thus, A has a $50 intercompany gain from its sale to B. 
For each taxable year 2009 through 2016, B has $10 of depreciation with 
respect to $80 of its basis (the portion of its $130 basis not exceeding 
A's adjusted basis) and $5 of depreciation with respect to the $50 of 
its additional basis that exceeds A's adjusted basis. For each taxable 
year 2017 and 2018, B has $5 of depreciation with respect to the $50 of 
its additional basis that exceeds A's adjusted basis.

[[Page 413]]

    (iii) Timing. A's $50 gain is taken into account to reflect the 
difference for each consolidated return year between B's depreciation 
taken into account with respect to the property and the depreciation 
that would have been taken into account if A and B were divisions of a 
single corporation. For each taxable year 2009 through 2016, B takes 
into account $15 of depreciation rather than the $10 of depreciation 
that would have been taken into account if A and B were divisions of a 
single corporation. For each taxable year 2017 and 2018, B takes into 
account $5 of depreciation rather than the $0 of depreciation that would 
have been taken into account if A and B were divisions of a single 
corporation (the QPP would have been fully depreciated after the 2016 
taxable year if A and B were divisions of a single corporation). Thus, A 
takes $5 of gain into account in each of the 2009 through 2018 taxable 
years (10% of its $50 gain). Pursuant to Sec. 1.199-7(d)(1), A takes 
its sale to B into account in computing the section 199 deduction at the 
same time and in the same proportion as A takes into account the income, 
gain, deduction, or loss from the intercompany transaction under Sec. 
1.1502-13. Thus, in each taxable year 2009 through 2018, A takes into 
account $13 of gross receipts (10% of its $130 gross receipts) from the 
sale to B. The group's income in each taxable year 2009 through 2016 is 
a $10 loss ($5 gain-$15 depreciation), the same net amount it would have 
been if A and B were divisions of a single corporation. The group's 
income in each taxable year 2017 and 2018 is $0 ($5 gain-$5 
depreciation), the same net amount it would have been if A and B were 
divisions of a single corporation.
    (iv) Attributes. If A and B were not members of a consolidated 
group, A's gross receipts on the sale of the QPP to B would be DPGR 
(assuming all the other requirements of Sec. 1.199-3 are met). However, 
because A and B are members of a consolidated group, the separate entity 
attributes of A's DPGR may be redetermined under Sec. 1.1502-
13(c)(1)(i) or (c)(4) in order to produce the same effect as if A and B 
were divisions of a single corporation. If A and B were divisions of a 
single corporation, there would be no DPGR with respect to the QPP 
because there would be no lease, rental, license, sale, exchange, or 
other disposition of the QPP by the single corporation (and no CGS or 
other deductions allocable to DPGR). Thus, in order to produce the same 
effect as if A and B were divisions of a single corporation, A's $13 of 
gross receipts taken into account in each year is redetermined as non-
DPGR. Accordingly, the consolidated group has no DPGR (and no CGS or 
other deductions allocable or apportioned to DPGR) and receives no 
section 199 deduction.
    Example 9. Corporations X, Y, and Z are members of the same EAG but 
are not members of a consolidated group. X, Y, and Z each files Federal 
income tax returns on a calendar year basis. Assume that the EAG has W-2 
wages in excess of the section 199(b) wage limitation. Prior to 2007, X 
had no taxable income or loss. In 2007, X has $0 of taxable income and 
$2,000 of QPAI, Y has $4,000 of taxable income and $3,000 of QPAI, and Z 
has $4,000 of taxable income and $5,000 of QPAI. Accordingly, the EAG 
has taxable income of $8,000, the sum of X's taxable income of $0, Y's 
taxable income of $4,000, and Z's taxable income of $4,000. The EAG has 
QPAI of $10,000, the sum of X's QPAI of $2,000, Y's QPAI of $3,000, and 
Z's QPAI of $5,000. Because X's, Y's, and Z's taxable years all began in 
2007, the transition percentage under section 199(a)(2) is 6%. Thus, the 
EAG's section 199 deduction for 2007 is $480 (6% of the lesser of the 
EAG's taxable income of $8,000 or the EAG's QPAI of $10,000). Pursuant 
to paragraph (c)(1) of this section, the $480 section 199 deduction is 
allocated to X, Y, and Z in proportion to their respective amounts of 
QPAI, that is $96 to X ($480 x $2,000/$10,000), $144 to Y ($480 x 
$3,000/$10,000), and $240 to Z ($480 x $5,000/$10,000). Although X's 
taxable income for 2007 determined prior to allocation of a portion of 
the EAG's section 199 deduction to it was $0, pursuant to paragraph 
(c)(2) of this section X will have an NOL for 2007 equal to $96. Because 
X's NOL for 2007 cannot be carried back to a previous taxable year, X's 
NOL carryover to 2008 will be $96.
    Example 10. (i) Facts. Corporation P owns all of the stock of 
Corporations S and B. P, S, and B file a consolidated Federal income tax 
return on a calendar year basis. P, S, and B each uses the section 861 
method for allocating and apportioning their deductions. In 2010, S MPGE 
QPP in the United States at a cost of $1,000. On November 30, 2010, S 
sells the QPP to B for $2,500. On February 28, 2011, P sells 60% of the 
stock of B to X, an unrelated person. On June 30, 2011, B sells the QPP 
to U, another unrelated person, for $3,000.
    (ii) Consolidated group's 2010 QPAI. Because S and B are members of 
a consolidated group in 2010, pursuant to Sec. 1.199-7(d)(1) and Sec. 
1.1502-13, neither S's $1,500 of gain on the sale of QPP to B nor S's 
$2,500 gross receipts from the sale are taken into account in 2010. 
Accordingly, neither S nor B has QPAI in 2010.
    (iii) Consolidated group's 2011 QPAI. B becomes a nonmember of the 
consolidated group at the end of the day on February 28, 2011, the date 
on which P sells 60% of the B stock to X. Under Sec. 1.199-7(d)(1) and 
Sec. 1.1502-13(d), S takes the intercompany transaction into account 
immediately before B becomes a nonmember of the consolidated group. 
Pursuant to Sec. 1.1502-13(d)(1)(ii)(A)(1), because the QPP is owned by 
B, a nonmember of the consolidated group immediately after S's gain is 
taken into account, B is treated as selling

[[Page 414]]

the QPP to a nonmember for $2,500, B's adjusted basis in the property, 
immediately before B becomes a nonmember of the consolidated group. 
Accordingly, immediately before B becomes a nonmember of the 
consolidated group, S takes into account $1,500 of QPAI (S's $2,500 DPGR 
received from B-S's $1,000 cost of MPGE the QPP).
    (iv) B's 2011 QPAI. Pursuant to Sec. 1.1502-13(d)(2)(i)(B), the 
attributes of B's corresponding item, that is, its sale of the QPP to U, 
are determined as if the S division (but not the B division) were 
transferred by the P, S, and B consolidated group (treated as a single 
corporation) to an unrelated person. Thus, S's activities in MPGE the 
QPP before the intercompany sale of the QPP to B continue to affect the 
attributes of B's sale of the QPP. As such, B is treated as having MPGE 
the QPP. Accordingly, upon its sale of the QPP, B has $500 of QPAI (B's 
$3,000 DPGR received from U minus B's $2,500 cost of MPGE the QPP).
    Example 11. Corporation X is the common parent of a consolidated 
group, consisting of X and Y, which has filed a consolidated Federal 
income tax return for many years. Corporation P is the common parent of 
a consolidated group, consisting of P and S, which has filed a 
consolidated Federal income tax return for many years. The X and P 
consolidated groups each file their consolidated Federal income tax 
returns on a calendar year basis. X, Y, P and S are members of the same 
EAG in 2008. In 2007, the X consolidated group incurred a consolidated 
net operating loss (CNOL) of $25,000, none of which was carried back and 
used to offset taxable income of prior taxable years. Neither P nor S 
(nor the P consolidated group) has ever incurred an NOL. In 2008, the X 
consolidated group has (prior to the deduction under section 172) 
taxable income of $8,000 and the P consolidated group has taxable income 
of $20,000. The X consolidated group uses $8,000 of its CNOL from 2007 
to offset the X consolidated group's taxable income in 2008. None of the 
X consolidated group's remaining CNOL may be used to offset taxable 
income of the P consolidated group under paragraph (b)(3) of this 
section. Accordingly, for purposes of determining the EAG's section 199 
deduction, the EAG has taxable income of $20,000 (the X consolidated 
group's taxable income (after the deduction under section 172) of $0 
plus the P consolidated group's taxable income of $20,000).

    (f) Allocation of income and loss by a corporation that is a member 
of the expanded affiliated group for only a portion of the year--(1) In 
general. A corporation that becomes or ceases to be a member of an EAG 
during its taxable year must allocate its taxable income or loss, QPAI, 
and W-2 wages between the portion of the taxable year that it is a 
member of the EAG and the portion of the taxable year that it is not a 
member of the EAG. This allocation of items is made by using the pro 
rata allocation method described in this paragraph (f)(1). Under the pro 
rata allocation method, an equal portion of a corporation's taxable 
income or loss, QPAI, and W-2 wages for the taxable year is assigned to 
each day of the corporation's taxable year. Those items assigned to 
those days that the corporation was a member of the EAG are then 
aggregated.
    (2) Coordination with rules relating to the allocation of income 
under Sec. 1.1502-76(b). If Sec. 1.1502-76(b) (relating to items 
included in a consolidated return) applies to a corporation that is a 
member of an EAG, then any allocation of items required under this 
paragraph (f) is made only after the allocation of the corporation's 
items pursuant to Sec. 1.1502-76(b).
    (g) Total section 199 deduction for a corporation that is a member 
of an expanded affiliated group for some or all of its taxable year--(1) 
Member of the same expanded affiliated group for the entire taxable 
year. If a corporation is a member of the same EAG for its entire 
taxable year, the corporation's section 199 deduction for the taxable 
year is the amount of the section 199 deduction allocated to the 
corporation by the EAG under paragraph (c)(1) of this section.
    (2) Member of the expanded affiliated group for a portion of the 
taxable year. If a corporation is a member of an EAG only for a portion 
of its taxable year and is either not a member of any EAG or is a member 
of another EAG, or both, for another portion of the taxable year, the 
corporation's section 199 deduction for the taxable year is the sum of 
its section 199 deductions for each portion of the taxable year.
    (3) Example. The following example illustrates the application of 
paragraphs (f) and (g) of this section:

    Example. (i) Facts. Corporations X and Y, calendar year 
corporations, are members of the same EAG for the entire 2010 taxable 
year. Corporation Z, also a calendar year corporation, is a member of 
the EAG of which X and Y are members for the first half of 2010 and not 
a member of any EAG for the second half of 2010. During the 2010 taxable 
year, neither X, Y, nor Z joins in the filing

[[Page 415]]

of a consolidated Federal income tax return. Assume that X, Y, and Z 
each has W-2 wages in excess of the section 199(b) wage limitation for 
all relevant periods. In 2010, X has taxable income of $2,000 and QPAI 
of $600, Y has a taxable loss of $400 and QPAI of ($200), and Z has 
taxable income of $1,400 and QPAI of $2,400.
    (ii) Analysis. Pursuant to the pro rata allocation method, $700 of 
Z's 2010 taxable income and $1,200 of Z's 2010 QPAI are allocated to the 
first half of the 2010 taxable year (the period in which Z is a member 
of the EAG) and $700 of Z's 2010 taxable income and $1,200 of Z's 2010 
QPAI are allocated to the second half of the 2010 taxable year (the 
period in which Z is not a member of any EAG). Accordingly, in 2010, the 
EAG has taxable income of $2,300 (X's $2,000 + Y's ($400) + Z's $700) 
and QPAI of $1,600 (X's $600 + Y's ($200) + Z's $1,200). The EAG's 
section 199 deduction for 2010 is therefore $144 (9% of the lesser of 
the EAG's $2,300 of taxable income or $1,600 of QPAI). Pursuant to Sec. 
1.199-7(c)(1), this $144 deduction is allocated to X, Y, and Z in 
proportion to their respective QPAI. Accordingly, X is allocated $48 of 
the EAG's section 199 deduction, Y is allocated $0 of the EAG's section 
199 deduction, and Z is allocated $96 of the EAG's section 199 
deduction. For the second half of 2010, Z has taxable income of $700 and 
QPAI of $1,200. Therefore, for the second half of 2010, Z has a section 
199 deduction of $63 (9% of the lesser of its $700 taxable income or 
$1,200 QPAI for the second half of 2010). Accordingly, X's 2010 section 
199 deduction is $48, Y's 2010 section 199 deduction is $0, and Z's 2010 
section 199 deduction is $159, the sum of the $96 section 199 deduction 
of the EAG allocated to Z for the first half of 2010 and Z's $63 section 
199 deduction for the second half of 2010.

    (h) Computation of section 199 deduction for members of an expanded 
affiliated group with different taxable years--(1) In general. If 
members of an EAG have different taxable years, in determining the 
section 199 deduction of a member (the computing member), the computing 
member is required to take into account the taxable income or loss, 
determined without regard to the section 199 deduction, QPAI, and W-2 
wages of each other group member that are both--
    (i) Attributable to the period that each other member of the EAG and 
the computing member are members of the EAG; and
    (ii) Taken into account in a taxable year that begins after the 
effective date of section 199 and such taxable year ends with or within 
the taxable year of the computing member with respect to which the 
section 199 deduction is computed.
    (2) Example. The following example illustrates the application of 
this paragraph (h):

    Example. (i) Corporations X, Y, and Z are members of the same EAG. 
Neither X, Y, nor Z is a member of a consolidated group. X and Y are 
calendar year taxpayers and Z is a June 30 fiscal year taxpayer. Z came 
into existence on July 1, 2007. Each corporation has taxable income that 
exceeds its QPAI and has sufficient W-2 wages to avoid the limitation 
under section 199(b). For the taxable year ending December 31, 2007, X's 
QPAI is $8,000 and Y's QPAI is ($6,000). For its taxable year ending 
June 30, 2008, Z's QPAI is $2,000.
    (ii) In computing X's and Y's respective section 199 deductions for 
their taxable years ending December 31, 2007, X's and Y's taxable 
income, QPAI, and W-2 wages from their respective taxable years ending 
December 31, 2007, are aggregated. The EAG's QPAI for this purpose is 
$2,000 (X's QPAI of $8,000 + Y's QPAI of ($6,000)). Because the taxable 
years of the computing members, X and Y, began in 2007, the transition 
percentage under section 199(a)(2) is 6%. Accordingly, the EAG's section 
199 deduction is $120 ($2,000 x .06). The $120 deduction is allocated to 
each of X and Y in proportion to their respective QPAI as a percentage 
of the QPAI of each member of the EAG that was taken into account in 
computing the EAG's section 199 deduction. Pursuant to paragraph (c)(1) 
of this section, in allocating the section 199 deduction between X and 
Y, because Y's QPAI is negative, Y's QPAI is treated as being $0. 
Accordingly, X's section 199 deduction for its taxable year ending 
December 31, 2007, is $120 ($120 x $8,000/($8,000 + $0)). Y's section 
199 deduction for its taxable year ending December 31, 2007, is $0 ($120 
x $0/($8,000 + $0)).
    (iii) In computing Z's section 199 deduction for its taxable year 
ending June 30, 2008, X's and Y's items from their respective taxable 
years ending December 31, 2007, are taken into account. Therefore, X's 
and Y's taxable income or loss, determined without regard to the section 
199 deduction, QPAI, and W-2 wages from their taxable years ending 
December 31, 2007, are aggregated with Z's taxable income or loss, QPAI, 
and W-2 wages from its taxable year ending June 30, 2008. The EAG's QPAI 
is $4,000 (X's QPAI of $8,000 + Y's QPAI of ($6,000) + Z's QPAI of 
$2,000). Because the taxable year of the computing member, Z, began in 
2007, the transition percentage under section 199(a)(2) is 6%. 
Accordingly, the EAG's section 199 deduction is $240 ($4,000 x .06). A 
portion of the $240 deduction is allocated to Z in proportion to its 
QPAI as a percentage of the QPAI of each member of the EAG that was 
taken into account in

[[Page 416]]

computing the EAG's section 199 deduction. Pursuant to paragraph (c)(1) 
of this section, in allocating a portion of the $240 deduction to Z, 
because Y's QPAI is negative, Y's QPAI is treated as being $0. Z's 
section 199 deduction for its taxable year ending June 30, 2008, is $48 
($240 x $2,000/($8,000 + $0 + $2,000)).
