Organizational expenses
Organizational expenses are the costs of organizaing a corporation before it begins active business. The Code permits amortization of these expenses over a period to be chosen by the taxpayer, but not less than 60 months. Such charging off is elective with the taxpayer. Organizational expenses for this purpose do not include expenses of issuing or selling stock or reorganization unless they are incident to creation of a new corporation.
