In some instances this narrow application of capital asset status has assisted the defendant in achieving their desired results and in other cases the courts have found the ruling to be inapplicable, contradictory to the defendant’s argument, or in need of further refinement. One such case where the Corn Product case was noted is Campbell Taggart, Inc. v. U.S. In this case, Campbell Targgart Inc. (CTI) was attempting to claim ordinary losses on the sale of stock in a Spanish corporation known as Superdescuento Uno, Dos, Tres, S.A. (Supermarkets) (American Federal Tax Reports , 1984).

For contributing property to generate a loss during liquidation, if the corporation does a 351 exchange or contribution to capital (from the sale or exchange of property having an adjusted basis) the adjusted basis is reduced but not below zero by the excess of the adjusted basis of the property on the date of the contribution and its fair market value.…
