In the recent case of Nash v. United States, 398 U.S. 1, 90 S.Ct. 1550, 26 L. Ed.2d 1 (1970) the Supreme Court held that a partnership which used the accrual method of accounting and the reserve method of accounting for bad debts did not have to include the bad debt reserve in income when it transferred its assets, including the accounts receivable, to controlled corporations in exchange for stock.
