Client is a C corporation commission based business. They are negotiating to purchase a similar business (S corp) using a 338(h)(10) transaction. They have the terms just about fixed (both parties want to get this done). Does the purchaser need to set up a new corporation to consummate the transaction, or can they use the C corp as the buyer? I'm reading some items that talk about setting up a new entity, but other say that's not required. Would rather just use the C corp as the buyer.

The existing C Corp can be the buyer.

You will have a consolidated Corporate group after the transaction ... consider filing a consolidated c Corp return

S-Corp status terminates at closing due to C-Corp shareholder. If there is a reason this can be a problem, then the seller should do an F reorganization prior to sale.
