Instructions for Form 1118 (12/2012)

Specific Instructions

Table of Contents

Report all amounts in U.S. dollars unless otherwise specified. If it is necessary to convert from a foreign currency, attach a statement explaining how the conversion rate was determined.

Separate Categoryof Income Boxes

The corporation must complete a separate Form 1118 for each applicable category of income. See Categories of Income, earlier.

Schedule A

Report gross income or (loss) from sources outside the United States for the applicable separate category in columns 2 through 7. Gross income equals gross receipts reduced by cost of goods sold. Report the applicable deductions to this gross income in columns 9 and 10. Report any net operating loss carryover in column 11. Be sure to include in all columns the gross income and deductions that pertain to foreign branches.

Section 863(b) gross income and deductions. Aggregate all section 863(b) gross income and deductions and report the totals on a single line. It may be necessary to enter amounts in multiple columns on that single line, depending upon the nature of the section 863(b) gross income and deductions. For example, enter “863(b)” in column 1 and enter (as a positive number) all section 863(b) gross income (in columns 2 through 8) and all section 863(b) deductions (in columns 9a through 12). Also enter the net amount in column 13. Note that the totals are being reported on a single line because it is not necessary to report section 863(b) gross income and deductions on a per-country basis.

RIC pass-through amounts. Aggregate all income passed through from regulated investment companies (RICs) and report the total on a single line. Enter “RIC” in column 1 and report the total in column 13. Note that the totals are being reported on a single line because it is not necessary to report the RIC pass-through amounts on a per-country basis.

Net operating losses. Report any net operating loss carryover on a single line. Enter “NOL” in column 1 and report the total in column 11. Note that the totals are being reported on a single line because it is not necessary to report the NOL on a per-country basis.

Reclassifications of high-taxed income. Aggregate all reclassifications of high-taxed income and report the total on a single line. With respect to passive category income, for items of income that have been included on Schedule A and that must be reclassified under the rules of Regulations section 1.904-4(c), enter “HTKO” in column 1 and enter (as a negative number) in column 13 the net amount of income that is being reclassified from passive category income. With respect to general category income, enter “HTKO” in column 1 and enter (as a positive number) in column 13 the net amount of income that is being reclassified to general category income. Note that the reclassifications are being reported on a single line because it is not necessary to report them on a per-country basis. Also note that tax reclassifications are needed on Schedule B. See those instructions for more information. Also see General Category Income, earlier, for general additional information about high-taxed income.

Column 1. Enter the two-letter codes (from the list at www.irs.gov/countrycodes) of all foreign countries and U.S. possessions within which income is sourced and/or to which taxes were paid, accrued, or deemed paid.

For section 863(b) income, enter “863(b)” instead of a two-letter code.

For income passed through from a RIC, enter “RIC” instead of a two-letter code.

For a net operating loss, enter “NOL” instead of a two-letter code.

For income adjustments for high-taxed income, enter “HTKO” instead of a two-letter code.

When you enter a country code in Schedule A, column 1, the information entered on the corresponding line of Schedule B, Part I, must pertain to that country code.

Column 2(a). If the corporation is a U.S. shareholder in a CFC, report all income deemed received under section 951(a)(1)(A) (before gross-up). See section 904(d)(3) and Look-Through Rules , earlier, for more information. If the corporation is a U.S. shareholder in a passive foreign investment company (PFIC) and receives distributions from stock in that PFIC, report all income deemed received (before gross-up) under section 1291.

Column 3(a). Report all other dividends (before gross-up) not included in column 2(a) from sources outside the United States for the applicable separate category. Other dividends include amounts included in gross income under section 951(a)(1)(B).

Note.

All dividends from a domestic corporation are of U.S. source, including dividends from a domestic corporation which has 80% or more of its gross income from sources outside the United States.

Columns 2(b) and 3(b). Include taxes deemed paid by a domestic corporation under section 902 or section 960 on distributions by a foreign corporation in income as dividend gross-up. See Regulations section 1.960-3(b) for exceptions.

Column 4. Enter all interest received from foreign sources. See section 861(c) for the treatment of interest from a domestic corporation that meets the foreign business requirement.

Column 6. Include gross income, including compensation, commissions, fees, etc., for technical, managerial, engineering, construction, scientific, or similar services outside the United States. Be sure to include gross income from services performed through a foreign branch.

Column 7. Include all other gross income from sources outside the United States for the applicable separate category, including all other gross income of foreign branches and pass-through entities and any exchange gain or loss recognized under sections 986(c) or 987(3) on a distribution or remittance of previously taxed amounts. Attach a schedule identifying the gross income by type and by the foreign country or U.S. possession from which it was sourced.

Column 9(d). Include all other deductions definitely allocable to income from sources outside the United States (dividends, interest, etc.) for the applicable separate category. Include deductions allocable to income of foreign branches.

Include any reduction of foreign source capital gain net income. If foreign source capital gain net income from all separate categories is more than the capital gain net income reported on the corporation's tax return, enter a pro rata portion of the excess as a negative number in each separate category. See Capital Gains, earlier.

Column 10. Enter only the apportioned share from Schedule H, Part II, column (d) that relates to gross income reported in columns 2 through 7.

Note.

If the corporation qualified as a financial services entity because it treated certain amounts as active financing income that are not listed in Regulations sections 1.904-4(e)(2)(i)(A) through (X), but that are described as similar items in Regulations section 1.904-4(e)(2)(i)(Y), attach a statement to Form 1118 showing the types and amounts of the similar items.

Column 11. Enter the corporation's net operating loss as defined in section 172 that is attributable to foreign source income in the separate limitation category. If the net operating loss is part of an overall foreign loss, see Temporary Regulations section 1.904(g)-3T for allocation rules that apply in determining the amount to enter in column 11.

It is not necessary to report the NOL adjustment on a per-country basis. See Net Operating Losses, earlier.

Schedule B

Part I—Foreign Taxes Paid, Accrued, and Deemed Paid

Report only foreign taxes paid, accrued, or deemed paid for the separate category for which this Form 1118 is being completed. Report all amounts in U.S. dollars. If the corporation must convert from foreign currency, attach a schedule showing the amounts in foreign currency and the exchange rate used.

For corporations claiming the credit on the accrual basis, the exchange rate for translating foreign taxes into U.S. dollars will generally be an average exchange rate for the tax year to which the taxes relate. However, the exchange rate on the date of payment must be used if the foreign taxes (a) are paid more than 2 years after the close of the tax year to which they relate or (b) are paid in a tax year prior to which they relate. In addition, for tax years beginning after December 31, 2004, taxpayers may elect to use the exchange rate on the date of payment. Taxpayers may elect to use the payment date exchange rates for all creditable foreign income taxes or only those taxes that are attributable to qualified business units with U.S. dollar functional currencies. The election is made by attaching a statement to a timely-filed (including extensions) Form 1118 that indicates the corporation is making the election under section 986(a)(1)(D). Once made, the election applies for all subsequent tax years and is revocable only with the consent of the IRS. See section 986(a).

The information entered on each line of Schedule B, Part I must pertain to the country code specified on the corresponding line of Schedule A, column 1.

Column 1. Claim the foreign tax credit for the tax year in which the taxes were paid or accrued, depending on the method of accounting used.

Note. For any given tax year, the corporation can use the cash method or the accrual method, but not both. If a credit for taxes accrued is claimed, show both the date accrued and the date paid (if paid).

If the cash method of accounting is used, an election under section 905(a) may be made to claim the credit based on accrued taxes. If this election is made, figure the foreign tax credit for all subsequent tax years on the same basis. Also, the credits are subject to the redetermination provisions of section 905(c). See Foreign Tax Credit Redeterminations, earlier, for details.

Column 2(d). Include foreign taxes paid or accrued on foreign branch taxable income to which the rules of section 863(b) apply.

Note.

Do not include these overlapping amounts in column 2(e).

Part II—SeparateForeign Tax Credit

Line 1b. If the corporation had a foreign tax credit splitting event in a prior tax year that resulted in a suspension of foreign taxes under section 909, enter the amount of those taxes attributable to related income taken into account in the current tax year. The amount of taxes suspended in a prior tax year should have appeared on Schedule G, line E on your Form 1118 for that prior tax year. See the regulations under section 909 for rules for determining when related income is taken into account and the amount of previously-suspended taxes that are attributable to that related income.

Line 4. If the corporation is reclassifying high-taxed income from passive category income to general category income, enter the related tax adjustment on line 4. Indicate whether adjustment is positive or (negative). See General Category Income, earlier, for additional information.

Line 5. Enter the total amount of foreign taxes carried forward or back to the current year. The amount of foreign taxes carried forward to the current tax year is the amount from Schedule K (Form 1118), line 3, column (xiv) plus the amount from Schedule I, Part III, line 3. Attach Schedule I (Form 1118) and Schedule K (Form 1118) to Form 1118.

Line 7. If the corporation has a current year overall domestic loss or recapture of an overall domestic loss account, or, in any of its separate categories, a current year separate limitation loss, an overall foreign loss, recapture of an overall foreign loss, or current year separate limitation income in a category in which it has a beginning balance of income that must be recharacterized, adjustments must be made. See the separate instructions for Schedule J to determine if that schedule must be filed.

Line 8b. Enter taxable income that should not be taken into account in computing the foreign tax credit limitation.

Line 9. Divide line 7 by line 8c to determine the limitation fraction. Enter the fraction on line 9 as a decimal with the same number of places as the number of digits to the left of the decimal in adjusted taxable income on line 8c. For example, if adjusted taxable income on line 8c is $100,000, compute the limitation fraction to 6 decimal places.

Line 11. The limitation may be increased under section 960(b) for any tax year that the corporation receives a distribution of previously taxed E&P. See section 960(b). If an increase in the limit under section 960(b)(5) exceeds the corporation's U.S. income tax liability, the excess is deemed an overpayment and can be claimed on the corporation's income tax return as a refundable credit (Form 1120, Schedule J, Part II, line 19d, or the corresponding line of other corporate income tax returns).

Part III—Summary ofSeparate Credits

Complete Part III only once. Enter on lines 1 through 3 the separate foreign tax credits from Part II, line 12, for each applicable separate category.

Note.

Complete Part III only on the Form 1118 with the largest amount entered on Part II, line 12.

Line 5. If the corporation participates in or cooperates with an international boycott, the foreign tax credit may be reduced. Complete Form 5713, International Boycott Report. If the corporation chooses to apply the international boycott factor to calculate the reduction in the credit, enter the amount from line 2a(3) of Schedule C (Form 5713) on line 5.

Schedules C, D, and E

If the corporation is a partner in a partnership, for taxes of foreign corporations for tax years beginning after October 22, 2004, stock owned directly or indirectly, by or for a partnership shall be considered as being owned proportionately by its partners. See section 902(c)(7).

Schedule C

Part I—Dividends and Deemed Inclusions From Post-1986 Undistributed Earnings

Column 1. Enter the name of the foreign corporation (or DISC or former DISC) whose earnings were distributed to, or included in income by, the domestic corporation filing the return.

Column 2. Enter the year and month in which the foreign corporation's U.S. tax year ended.

Example.

When figuring foreign taxes deemed paid in 2010 by a calendar year domestic corporation with respect to dividends and inclusions out of post-1986 undistributed earnings for the foreign corporation's tax year that ended June 30, 2010, enter “1006.”

Column 3. Enter the applicable two-letter codes from the list at www.irs.gov/countrycodes.

Column 4. Enter the distributing corporation's post-1986 undistributed earnings pool for the separate category for which the schedule is being completed. Generally, this amount is the corporation's E&P (computed in the corporation's functional currency according to sections 964(a) and 986) accumulated in tax years beginning after 1986, determined as of the close of the corporation's tax year without reduction for any earnings distributed or otherwise included in income (that is, under section 304, 367(b), 951(a), 1248, or 1293) during the current tax year.

Post-1986 undistributed earnings are reduced to account for distributions or deemed distributions that reduced E&P and inclusions that resulted in previously taxed amounts described in section 959(c)(1) and (2) or section 1293(c) in prior tax years beginning after 1986. See Regulations section 1.902-1(a)(9). Also, see section 902(c)(3) and Regulations section 1.902-1(a)(13) for special rules treating earnings accumulated in post-1986 years as pre-1987 accumulated profits when no U.S. shareholder was eligible to claim a section 902 credit with respect to taxes paid by the foreign corporation.

Column 5. Enter the opening balance in the distributing corporation's post-1986 foreign income taxes pool for the tax year indicated. This amount is the foreign income taxes paid, accrued, or deemed paid (in U.S. dollars) by the foreign corporation for prior tax years beginning after 1986, reduced by foreign taxes attributable to distributions or deemed inclusions of earnings in prior tax years. See Regulations section 1.902-1(a)(8)(i).

Column 6(a). Enter the foreign income taxes paid or accrued by the foreign corporation for the tax year indicated, translated into U.S. dollars using the exchange rate specified in section 986(a).

Column 6(b). Enter the foreign income taxes deemed paid (under section 902(b)) by the corporation for the tax year indicated (from Schedule D, Part I, Section A, column 10, and Section B, column 8(b)).

Column 8(a). Report the sum (in the foreign corporation's functional currency) of all dividends paid and deemed inclusions out of post-1986 undistributed earnings for the tax year indicated.

Column 8(b). Report the column 8(a) amounts, translated into U.S. dollars at the appropriate exchange rates (as defined in section 989(b)). If the foreign corporation's functional currency is the U.S. dollar, do not complete column 8(b).

Part II—Dividends Paid Out of Pre-1987 Accumulated Profits

Use a separate line for each dividend paid. If a dividend is paid out of the accumulated profits of more than one pre-1987 tax year, figure and show the tax deemed paid on a separate line for each tax year. In applying section 902, the IRS may determine from which tax year's accumulated profits the dividends were paid. See Regulations section 1.902-3(g)(4).

Important.

The formula for calculating foreign taxes deemed paid under section 902 with respect to dividends paid in a post-1986 year out of pre-1987 accumulated profits requires that all components (dividends, accumulated profits, and taxes) be maintained in the foreign corporation's functional currency and translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the date of the dividend distribution. See Regulations section 1.902-1(a)(10)(ii) and (iii).

Column 1. Enter the name of the first-tier foreign corporation (or DISC or former DISC) that paid a dividend out of pre-1987 profits to the domestic corporation filing the return.

Column 2. Enter the year and month in which the foreign corporation's pre-1987 tax year ended.

Column 3. Enter the applicable two-letter codes from the list at www.irs.gov/countrycodes.

Column 4. For each line, enter the pre-1987 accumulated profits for the tax year indicated in column 2, computed in functional currency under section 902. See Regulations section 1.902-1(a)(10)(i) and (ii).

Column 5. Enter the foreign taxes paid and deemed paid (in functional currency) with respect to the pre-1987 accumulated profits entered in column 4 for the tax year indicated in column 2. See the instructions for Schedule G, later, for information on reduction of foreign taxes for failure to furnish information required under section 6038.

Column 6(a). Enter the amount of each dividend paid by the first-tier foreign corporation (or DISC or former DISC) to the domestic corporation (in functional currency) out of the accumulated profits of the pre-1987 tax year indicated in column 2.

Column 6(b). Enter the amount from column 6(a) translated into U.S. dollars using the spot exchange rate in effect on the date of distribution. See Regulations sections 1.902-1(a)(10)(ii) and 1.902-3(g)(1).

Column 8(a). Multiply column 5 by column 7. Enter this amount in column 8(a) in functional currency.

Column 8(b). Enter the amount from column 8(a) translated into U.S. dollars at the spot exchange rate in effect on the date of distribution. See Regulations section 1.902-1(a)(10)(iii).

Part III—Deemed Inclusions From Pre-1987Earnings and Profits

Important.

The formula for calculating foreign taxes deemed paid under section 960 with respect to deemed inclusions (that is, under section 956 or 1248) in a post-1986 year out of pre-1987 E&P requires that earnings and profits and foreign taxes be calculated in U.S. dollars under the rules of Regulations section 1.964-1(a) through (e), and then translated into the foreign corporation's functional currency at the exchange rate in effect on the first day of the foreign corporation's first post-1986 tax year. See Notice 88-70, 1988-2 C.B. 369. The deemed inclusion is then translated into U.S. dollars at the appropriate exchange rate specified in section 989(b). Foreign income taxes paid in pre-1987 tax years are translated into U.S. dollars for purposes of section 960 at the exchange rate in effect when the foreign taxes were paid. See Regulations section 1.964-1(d) and Temporary Regulations section 1.905-5T(b)(1).

Column 1. Enter the name of the first- or lower-tier foreign corporation whose earnings were deemed included in the income of the domestic corporation filing the return.

Column 2. Enter the year and month in which the corporation's pre-1987 tax year ended. If the deemed inclusion is from the accumulated E&P of more than one tax year, figure and show the tax deemed paid on a separate line for each year.

Column 3. Enter the applicable two-letter codes from the list at www.irs.gov/countrycodes.

Column 4. For each line, enter the E&P calculated in U.S. dollars under Regulations sections 1.964-1(a) through (e), translated into functional currency under Notice 88-70 for the tax year indicated in column 2.

Column 5. Enter foreign taxes paid and deemed paid (in U.S. dollars) with respect to the E&P entered in column 4. See the instructions for Schedule G on page 8 for information on reduction of foreign taxes for failure to furnish information required under section 6038.

Column 6(b). Enter the amount from column 6(a) translated into U.S. dollars at the appropriate exchange rate specified in section 989(b).

Section A—Dividends Paid Out of Post-1986 Undistributed Earnings

Column 1. Enter the name of the second-tier foreign corporation and the name of the first-tier foreign corporation to which it paid a dividend out of post-1986 undistributed earnings.

Example.

The U.S. corporation filing the return owns all of the stock of CFC1 and CFC2. CFC1 and CFC2 each own 50% of the stock of CFC3. In 2010, CFC3 pays a dividend to CFC1 and CFC2. Use one line to report dividends from CFC3 to CFC1 and another line to report dividends from CFC3 to CFC2.

Column 2. Enter the year and month in which the distributing second-tier foreign corporation's tax year ended.

Section B—Dividends Paid Out of Pre-1987 Accumulated Profits

Important.

The formula for calculating foreign taxes deemed paid by a first-tier foreign corporation under section 902(b) with respect to dividends paid by a second-tier foreign corporation in a post-1986 year out of pre-1987 accumulated profits requires that all components (dividends, accumulated profits, and taxes) be maintained in the second-tier foreign corporation's functional currency. Dividends are translated into the first-tier foreign corporation's functional currency and added to its post-1986 undistributed earnings at the exchange rate in effect on the date of the dividend distribution. See Regulations section 1.902-1(a)(9)(ii). Foreign taxes are translated into U.S. dollars, and added to the first-tier foreign corporation's post-1986 foreign income taxes, at the exchange rate in effect on the date of the dividend distribution. See Regulations section 1.902-1(a)(8)(ii).

Column 1. Enter the name of the second-tier foreign corporation and the name of the first-tier foreign corporation to which it paid a dividend out of pre-1987 accumulated profits.

Column 6(b). Enter the amount from column 6(a), translated into the first-tier foreign corporation's functional currency using the spot exchange rate in effect on the date of distribution. See Regulations sections 1.902-1(a)(10)(ii) and 1.902-3(g)(1).

Column 8(a). Multiply column 5 by column 7. Enter the result in column 8(a).

Column 8(b). Enter the amount from column 8(a), translated in U.S. dollars at the spot exchange rate in effect on the date of distribution. See Regulations section 1.902-1(a)(10)(iii).

Part II—Tax DeemedPaid by Second-TierForeign Corporations

Follow the instructions for the corresponding columns of Schedule D, Part I, substituting “second-tier foreign corporation” for references to the “first-tier foreign corporation” and “third-tier foreign corporation” for references to the “second-tier foreign corporation.”

Note.

In completing Section A, column 5, note that section 902(b) as in effect prior to the Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997 did not treat any foreign taxes as deemed paid by a third- or lower-tier foreign corporation with respect to dividends received from lower-tier foreign corporations.

Schedule E

Use Schedule E to report foreign taxes deemed paid with respect to dividends from certain fourth-, fifth-, and sixth-tier controlled foreign corporations out of earnings accumulated in tax years beginning after August 5, 1997. Follow the instructions for the corresponding columns of Schedule D, Part I, Section A, substituting references to the next lower-tier foreign corporation as appropriate.

The post-1986 undistributed earnings and taxes pools for the eligible CFCs begin on the first day of the CFC's first tax year beginning after August 5, 1997. Earnings accumulated in tax years beginning before August 6, 1997, will be treated as pre-1987 accumulated profits for section 902 purposes. See section 902(c)(6) and Regulations section 1.902-1(a)(10)(i). Foreign income taxes attributable to these pre-pooling profits must be reduced when the associated earnings are distributed. However, such taxes are generally not eligible for the deemed paid credit. See Regulations sections 1.902-1(a)(10)(iii) and 1.902-1(c)(8).

Note.

In completing Part III, column 5, note that, under section 902(b) as amended by the Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997, no taxes are deemed paid by a sixth- or lower-tier foreign corporation with respect to dividends received from lower-tier foreign corporations.

Schedule F

Enter the gross income and definitely allocable deductions for each foreign branch (including a disregarded entity) as indicated. For each such foreign branch for which Form 8858, Information Return of U.S. Persons With Respect To Foreign Disregarded Entities, is not filed, attach an income statement, balance sheet, and schedule of remittances.

Schedule G

Part I

Line A. If the corporation claims a deduction for percentage depletion under section 613 with respect to any part of its foreign mineral income (as defined in section 901(e)(2)) for the tax year, any foreign taxes on that income must be reduced by the smaller of:

The foreign taxes minus the tax on that income or
The tax on that income determined without regard to the deduction for percentage depletion minus the tax on that income.

The reduction must be made on a country-by-country basis (Regulations section 1.901-3(a)(1)). Attach a separate schedule showing the reduction.

Line C. If the corporation chooses to calculate the reduction in the foreign tax by identifying taxes specifically attributable to participation in or cooperation with an international boycott, enter the amount from Form 5713, Schedule C, line 2b. See Form 5713 and its separate Schedule C and instructions.

Line D. If the corporation controls a foreign corporation or partnership and fails to furnish any return or any information in any return required under section 6038(a) by the due date, reduce the foreign taxes available for credit under sections 901, 902, and 960 by 10%. If the failure continues for 90 days or more after the date of written notice by the IRS, reduce the tax by an additional 5% for each 3-month period or fraction thereof during which the failure continues after the 90-day period has expired. See section 6038(c) for limitations and special rules.

In addition, a $10,000 penalty is imposed under section 6038(b) for failure to supply the information required under section 6038(a) for each entity within the time prescribed. If the required information is not submitted within 90 days after the IRS has mailed notice to the U.S. person, additional penalties may apply.

Note.

The reduction in foreign taxes available for credit is reduced by any dollar penalty imposed under section 6038(b).

Line E. Include the following reductions:

Foreign income taxes deemed paid during the current tax year which exceed the limit (with respect to section 956 inclusions) described in section 960(c).
Foreign income taxes paid or accrued during the current tax year that have been suspended due to the rules of section 909.

Schedule H

Computer-Generated Schedule H

A computer-generated Schedule H may be filed if it conforms to the IRS version. In some cases, Schedule H can be expanded to properly apportioned deductions. This applies in cases such as when the corporation:

Has more than two product lines (under the sales method of apportioning R&D deductions),
Has section 901(j) income from more than one sanctioned country, or
Has income re-sourced by treaty for more than one country.

Part I—Research and Development Deductions

Use Part I to apportion the research and development (R&D) deductions that cannot be definitely allocated to some item or class of gross income. Use either the sales method or one of the gross income methods described in Regulations section 1.861-17.

Note.

The line 4 totals will generally be less than the totals on lines 1 and 2 because the line 4 totals do not include the gross income and deductions that are implicitly apportioned to the residual grouping.

Column (a) Sales Method

Complete these columns only if the corporation elects the sales method of apportioning R&D deductions described in Regulations section 1.861-17(c). Enter in the spaces provided the SIC Code numbers (based upon the Standard Industrial Classification System) of the product lines to which the R&D deductions relate. See Regulations section 1.861-17(a)(2)(ii) and (iii) for details on choosing SIC codes and changing a product category.

Note.

If the corporation has more than two product lines, see Computer-Generated Schedule H above.

Columns (a)(i) and (a)(iii)

Line 1. Enter the worldwide gross sales for the product lines.

Lines 3a through 3d. Enter the gross sales that resulted in gross income for each statutory grouping.

Columns (a)(ii) and (a)(iv)

Line 1. Enter the total R&D deductions connected with the product lines.

Line 2. Reduce the line 1 totals by legally mandated R&D (Regulations section 1.861-17(a)(4)), and a 50% exclusive apportionment amount (Regulations section 1.861-17(b)(1)(i)) if applicable.

The legally mandated R&D rules apply to R&D undertaken solely to meet legal requirements imposed by a particular political entity for improvement or marketing of specific products or processes if the corporation does not reasonably expect the results of that research to generate gross income (beyond de minimis amounts) outside a single geographic source.

Under the exclusive apportionment rules, 50% of the R&D deductions are apportioned exclusively to the statutory grouping of gross income, or the residual grouping of gross income, as the case may be, from the geographic source where the R&D activities which account for more than 50% of the amount of such deduction were performed. If the 50% test is not met, then no part of the deduction is apportioned under these rules.

Lines 3a through 3d. To figure the amount of R&D deductions to apportion to each statutory grouping, divide the gross sales apportioned to the statutory grouping by the worldwide gross sales for the product line. Multiply the result by the R&D deductions to be apportioned.

Note.

If the corporation had section 901(j) income from more than one sanctioned country or had income re-sourced by treaty for more than one country, see Computer-Generated Schedule H above.

Example 1.

To determine the amount to enter on line 3a, column (a)(ii):

Divide the amount on line 3a, column (a)(i) by the amount on line 1, column (a)(i).
Multiply the result by the amount on line 2, column (a)(ii).

Example 2.

To determine the amount to enter on line 3b, column (a)(iv):

Divide the amount on line 3b, column (a)(iii) by the amount on line 1, column (a)(iii).
Multiply the result by the amount on line 2, column (a)(iv).

Column (b) Gross Income Methods

Complete these columns only if the corporation elects one of the gross income methods of apportioning R&D deductions described in Regulations section 1.861-17(d)(2) and (3). Check the box for the option used. Use Option 1 only if certain conditions are met. See Regulations section 1.861-17(d)(2).

Note.

If the corporation has more than two product lines, see Computer-Generated Schedule H above.

Columns (b)(v) and (b)(vii)

Line 1. Enter the total gross income (excluding exempt income according to Temporary Regulations section 1.861-8T(d)(2)).

Lines 3a through 3d. Enter the gross income within each statutory grouping.

Columns (b)(vi) and (b)(viii)

Line 1. Enter the total R&D deductions.

Line 2. Reduce the line 1 totals by legally mandated R&D (Regulations section 1.861-17(a)(4)), and a 25% exclusive apportionment amount (Regulations section 1.861-17(b)(1)(ii)).

Lines 3a through 3d. If Option 1 is checked, divide the gross income apportioned to the statutory grouping by the total gross income and multiply the result by the R&D deductions to be apportioned. If Option 2 is checked, enter the appropriate amount as described in Regulations section 1.861-17(d)(3).

Part II—Interest Deductions,All Other Deductions,and Total Deductions

Note.

Columns (a)(i) through (b)(iv)

Use these columns to apportion interest deductions. See Temporary Regulations sections 1.861-8T through 1.861-13T for rules on the apportionment of interest deductions based on the fair market value, tax book value, or adjusted tax book value of assets.

If the corporation elected to use the fair market value method to apportion interest expense, see Temporary Regulations section 1.861-9T(h). Also see Rev. Proc. 2003-37, 2003-1 C.B. 950, for procedures for supplying certain documentation and information.

For tax years beginning on or after March 26, 2004, a corporation may elect to use the alternative tax book value method. See Regulations section 1.861-9(i).

Columns (a) and (b) are subdivided into “Nonfinancial Corporations” and “Financial Corporations.” In allocating interest deductions, members of an affiliated group that are financial corporations must be treated as a separate affiliated group. Complete columns (a)(ii) and (b)(iv) for members of the corporation's affiliated group that are financial corporations and columns (a)(i) and (b)(iii) for members that are nonfinancial corporations.

See Regulations section 1.861-11 for the definition of an affiliated group.

Columns (a)(i) and (a)(ii)

Line 1a. Enter the average of the total assets of the affiliated group. See Temporary Regulations section 1.861-9T(g)(2) for the definition of average for these purposes.

Line 1b. Enter the assets included on line 1a that are characterized as excess related party indebtedness. See Temporary Regulations section 1.861-10T(e) for an exception to the general rule of fungibility for excess related party indebtedness.

Line 1c. Enter all other assets that attract specifically allocable interest deductions. See Temporary Regulations section 1.861-10T for other exceptions to the general rule of fungibility (such as qualified nonrecourse indebtedness and integrated financial transactions).

Line 1d. Enter the total of the exempt assets and assets without directly identifiable yield that are to be excluded from the interest apportionment formula (Temporary Regulations sections 1.861-8T(d)(2) and 1.861-9T(g)(3)).

Lines 3a through 3d. The assets on line 2 are characterized as assets in one of the statutory groupings or as belonging to the residual grouping. Enter the value of the assets in each of the statutory groupings on line 3a through 3d. See Temporary Regulations sections 1.861-9T(g)(3), 1.861-12T(g)(2), and 1.861-12T(h)(2) for the rules for characterizing the assets.

Columns (b)(iii) and (b)(iv)

Line 1a. Enter the total interest deductions for the members of the corporation's affiliated group. These include any expense that is currently deductible under section 163 (including original issue discount), and interest equivalents. See Temporary Regulations section 1.861-9T for the definition of interest equivalents and a list of the sections that disallow or suspend interest deductions or require the capitalization of interest deductions.

Line 1b. Enter the interest deductions associated with the assets on line 1b of columns (a)(i) and (a)(ii), respectively, that attract specifically allocable interest deductions under Temporary Regulations section 1.861-10T(e).

Note.

These interest deductions will be divided among the statutory groupings and will appear as a definitely allocable deduction in Schedule A, column 9(d).

Line 1c. Enter the interest deductions associated with the assets on line 1c of columns (a)(i) and (a)(ii), respectively, that attract specifically allocable interest deductions.

Lines 3a through 3d. To figure the amount of interest deductions to apportion to each statutory grouping, divide the assets apportioned to the grouping by the total assets apportioned and multiply the result by the interest deductions to be apportioned.

Example 1.

To figure the amount to enter on line 3a, column (b)(iii): (a) divide the amount entered on line 3a, column (a)(i), by the amount on line 2, column (a)(i); and (b) multiply the result by the amount on line 2, column (b)(iii).

Example 2.

To figure the amount to enter on line 3b, column (b)(iv): (a) divide the amount on line 3b, column (a)(ii) by the amount on line 2, column (a)(ii); and (b) multiply the result by the amount on line 2, column (b)(iv).

Column (c)

Complete this column to apportion all other deductions not definitely allocable (other than interest deductions and R&D deductions). See Regulations sections 1.861-8 and 1.861-14 and Temporary Regulations sections 1.861-8T and 1.861-14T.

Line 1a. Enter the total other deductions. Examples include: stewardship expenses; legal and accounting expenses; and other expenses related to certain supportive functions such as overhead, general and administrative, advertising, and marketing. Deductions for charitable contributions made on or after July 28, 2004, generally are definitely related and allocable to all gross income and apportioned solely to domestic source income.

Lines 3a through 3d. Enter the amounts apportioned to each statutory grouping.
