Includes chronology of IRS cases The IRS and numerous court cases have failed to establish clear guidelines for the deductibility of expenses incurred during a hostile or friendly takeover because the cases often reverse earlier rulings. Under IRC section 162, necessary and ordinary business expenses are deductible, but what is included in those expenses is not defined. However, INDOPCO, Inc v Commissioner, among other cases, established the long-term benefit criteria, making expenses incurred during an unsuccessful takeover deductible, but if the takeover is successful, those expenses accrue future benefit so are not deductible.

The 1992 INDOPCO case established the principle that a target corporation's expenses in a friendly takeover must be capitalized, but the law on deductibility in other reorganizations is less clear. A future benefits test is usually used to determine if expenses can be capitalized. INDOPCO holds shareholders' and acquirers' costs must be capitalized in most situations. The expenditures made in conjunction with abandoned reorganizations, proxy fights, hostile takeovers, and terminating unused stock options are deductible in many, but not all, circumstances. Stock reacquisition costs, and divisive reorganization expenses generally should be capitalized.
