You can't take three from two
Two is less than three
So you look at the four in the tens place

And you add them to the two and get twelve
And you take away three, that's nine
Is that clear?

for corporate tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2025. The

Treas. Reg. §1.482-1(c) best method rule if a valid election
to apply the S.S.A. has been made. Notice 2025-04 points
