What types of business structures are considered a controlled group?
All members of a controlled group are considered as a single taxpayer for purposes of the tax credit. A “controlled group” is any group of corporations or non-incorporated businesses that have common ownership interests. Generally, a business is considered to be part of a controlled group if more than 50 percent of the business is either owned by, or in common with, another business. Rules similar to the controlled group rules under 26 U.S.C. ยง 5061(e)(3) apply.
