Can goodwill be transferred during an M and A if it is currently being amortized by a sub. for tax?

If a corporation is currently amortizing goodwill for tax purposes and another company acquires the company through an asset purchase, will the remaining goodwill transfer over and continue to be amortized?

Also, if there is a goodwill deferred tax asset, what role will this play? Does it benefit the acquiring company? or will it remain with the old parent?
