Can the section 179 expense be used 100% by stockholders of record at time of purchase when making a section 1377(a)(2) election to treat the tax year as 2 taxable years?
For 9 months of fiscal tax year, there were 3 stockholders. Their stock was redeemed and issued to 25 stockholders for the remaining 3 months of the fiscal year. Significant Section 179 purchases were made in the last three months. Can the allocation of the section 179 be 100% given to the 25 shareholders and 0% to the 3 shareholders if a Section 1377(a)(2) election is made?
