An audit report was filed on May 29, 2009 on the financial and operating practices of the Bronx County Public Administrator's Office.

The quit claim deeds are not part of a separate transaction but merely a mechanism to confirm and record that the Purchaser owns the portion of the building housing the residential condominium units and the Seller owns the commercial condominium unit and do not result in a change in beneficial ownership. The consideration for the transfer of the Air Rights is $15,230,000 plus the value of the commercial unit constructed by the Purchaser for the Seller less the $500,000 that the Seller contributed towards the construction. #15-4967 11/13/15

S corporation which underwent a federal tax exempt reorganization under IRC section 368(1)(a)(F) (an F Reorganization) should file its General Corporation Tax return for the entire tax year covering both the period before and after the F Reorganization. No short period returns should be filed. In the F Reorganization , the shareholders of the old subchapter S corporation contributed their shares in the old corporation to a new subchapter S corporation with the old subchapter S corporation becoming a qualified subchapter S subsidiary (a Q-Sub) of the new subchapter S corporation; the Q-Sub then merged into an LLC wholly owned by the new subchapter S corporation and disregarded for tax purposes, with that LLC being the surviving entity. Hence, before the F reorganization, the old subchapter S corporation owned its assets directly; after the F reorganization, the new subchapter S corporation wholly owned an LLC which in turn owned the old subchapter S corporation's assets. #15-4966 6/3/15
