2. (2) Consolidated Federal Income Tax Returns Required—When. A corporation which participates in the filing of a consolidated federal income tax return, but not a Missouri consolidated income tax return, shall attach to its separate Missouri Corporation Income Tax Return Form MO-1120, U.S. Corporation Income Tax Return Form 1120 for the corresponding tax year, one (1) complete copy of the actual consolidated federal income tax return filed with the Internal Revenue Service for the corresponding tax year, if any, together with all pertinent schedules so filed, if any.
