Explain the rule for tax obligation of consolidated


Greater Corporation acquired all of the stock of Lesser corporation in 2009, and the entities have filed a state and Federal consolidated income tax return ever since. In 2012, an audit notice from the state unemployment tax administration makes it clear that Lesser underpaid its 2010 state and Federal payroll taxes by $2million. Lesser's cash flow at this time is poor, and it has insufficient funds to pay the delinquent amount plus interest and penalties. Can the state revenue agency collect the outstanding payroll tax from Greater under the Federal "joint and several liability" rule for tax obligation of consolidated return affiliates? Explain
