depends on the transaction, it may or may not create goodwill. You
can do a 338(h)10 election to raise the tax basis of the assets
acquired or you can do a recap and create negative (book) equity
to avoid goodwill.
the trick in M&A is to decide which one is more advantageous, and
how is burdened with the associated shift in tax liabilities.
