{"data":{"id":"us/26-cfr-1.108-3","jurisdiction":"us","citation":"26 CFR 1.108-3","heading":"-3 Intercompany losses and deductions.","body":"(a) General rule. This section applies to certain losses and deductions from the sale, exchange, or other transfer of property between corporations that are members of a consolidated group or a controlled group (an intercompany transaction). See section 267(f) (controlled groups) and § 1.1502-13 (consolidated groups) for applicable definitions. For purposes of determining the attributes to which section 108(b) applies, a loss or deduction not yet taken into account under section 267(f) or § 1.1502-13 (an intercompany loss or deduction) is treated as basis described in section 108(b) that the transferor retains in property. To the extent a loss not yet taken into account is reduced under this section, it cannot subsequently be taken into account under section 267(f) or § 1.1502-13. For example, if S and B are corporations filing a consolidated return, and S sells land with a $100 basis to B for $90 and the $10 loss is deferred under section 267(f) and § 1.1502-13, the deferred loss is treated for purposes of section 108(b) as $10 of basis that S has in land (even though S has no remaining interest in the land sold to B) and is subject to reduction under section 108(b)(2)(E). Similar principles apply, with appropriate adjustments, if S and B are members of a controlled group and S's loss is deferred only under section 267(f).\n(b) Effective date. This section applies with respect to discharges of indebtedness occurring on or after September 11, 1995.","path":["Title 26—Internal Revenue","CHAPTER I—INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE, DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY","SUBCHAPTER A—INCOME TAX","PART 1—INCOME TAXES"],"source_url":"https://www.ecfr.gov/api/versioner/v1/full/2026-08-25/title-26.xml","current_through":"2026-08-25","vintage":"","retrieved_at":"2026-08-27T02:25:11Z","sha256":"ee5c91224d2cb0bf217031b6c48ca2b17f828bdd56cbcea596cd8eee6000ac53","source_id":"us-cfr","stale":true,"prev":"us/26-cfr-1.108-2","next":"us/26-cfr-1.108-4"},"notice":"GroundRules: Original legal text.
