FDIC was a United States Supreme Court case (589 U.S. ____ (2020)) in which the court held that the Bob Richards rule was not appropriately crafted and federal judges should not apply it when resolving disputes about tax allocations to members of an affiliated group filing a consolidated return.[1][2]
