We discuss recent developments in the study of structure functions at low Q{sup 2}, focusing in particular on the issue of target mass corrections (TMC) to nucleon structure functions. We summarize the standard TMC implementation, and contrast this with a new formulation which has the correct kinematic threshold behavior at finite Q{sup 2} in the x{yields}1 limit.
