Example
ABC corporation, as part of a marketing
campaign, promises to contribute $1
for every unit sold to a local charity.
They cannot deduct the contribution
under 170 since their motive for
making the donation is to promote a
product rather than disinterested
generosity. However, they may be
able to deduct the contribution as a
marketing expense under 162.

TP has tax credit carryforward of $1m.
However, the TP is running losses and may
not be able to use all of the credits before
they expire. There is a 48% chance that
some or all of the credits will expire. The
TP needs to reflect the DTA at $750K based
on its analysis.
