IRS modifies position and allows discounts on intra-family stock transfers

Article Abstract:

Revenue ruling 93-12 shows the IRS' acceptance of minority discounts for minority stock transfers between controlling family members, a reversal of its previous opinion because of several court decisions. Therefore, the IRS no longer requires an aggregate basis for valuing the interests. However, real estate fractional interests are not included in the minority discounts and the IRS can still contest other aspects of the transfers such as those effecting the corporate balance of power.
