Question - Put owned all of the stock of Call when the two corporations were formed a decade ago. The group immediately elected to file on a consolidated basis. Now, Call's management team has purchased the company from the parent and intends to carry on and expand the business into new markets.

When Call left the Put consolidated group, the group held a post-2017 NOL carryforward of $14,660,000, of which $5,864,000 was attributable to Call's operations under formulas approved by all of the parties. Call will generate $2,345,600 in taxable income on each of its first five years' worth of separate returns.

a. Select either "Yes" or "No" to indicate which of the following happens to the consolidated group's NOL carry forward.

Call takes its apportioned NOL carryforwards when it leaves the group.

All NOL carryforwards remain with Put.

Neither Call nor Put is entitled to any of the NOL carryforwards due to § 382.

b. Based on the information above, determine Call's reportable taxable income for on its first five separate Form 1120. Assume that SRLY (separate return limitation year) and § 382 limitations do not restrict the NOL.
