Accounting Period
A corporation must figure its income on the basis of a tax year. A tax year is the annual accounting period a corporation uses to keep its records and report its income and expenses. An S corporation must use one of the following tax years. · A tax year ending December 31. · A natural business year. · An ownership tax year. · A tax year elected under section 444. · A 52-53 week tax year that ends with reference to a year listed above. · Any other tax year (including a 52-53-week tax year) for which the corporation establishes a business purpose. A new S corporation must use Form 2553 to elect a tax year. To later change the corporation's tax year, see Form 1128, Application To Adopt, Change, or Retain a Tax Year, and its instructions (unless the corporation is making an election under section 444, discussed next). Electing a tax year under section 444. Under the provisions of section 444, an S corporation can elect to have a tax year other than a permitted year, but only if the deferral period of the tax year is not longer than the shorter of 3 months or the deferral period of the tax year being changed. This election is made by filing Form 8716, Election To Have a Tax Year Other Than a Required Tax Year. An S corporation may not make or continue an election under section 444 if it is a member of a tiered structure, other than a tiered structure that consists entirely of partnerships and S corporations that have the same tax year. For the S corporation to have a section 444 election in effect, it must make the payments required by section 7519. See Form 8752, Required Payment or Refund Under Section 7519. A section 444 election ends if an S corporation: · Changes its accounting period to a calendar year or some other permitted year, · Is penalized for willfully failing to comply with the requirements of section 7519, or · Terminates its S election (unless it immediately becomes a personal service corporation). If the termination results in a short tax year, type or legibly print at the top of the first page of Form 1120S for the short tax year, "SECTION 444 ELECTION TERMINATED."
Rounding Off to Whole Dollars
The corporation can round off cents to whole dollars on its return and schedules. If the corporation does round to whole dollars, it must round all amounts. To round, drop amounts under 50 cents and increase amounts from 50 to 99 cents to the next dollar. For example, $1.39 becomes $1 and $2.50 becomes $3. If two or more amounts must be added to figure the amount to enter on a line, include cents when adding the amounts and round off only the total.
Other Forms and Statements That May Be Required
Reportable transaction disclosure statement. Disclose information for each reportable transaction in which the corporation participated. Form 8886, Reportable Transaction Disclosure Statement, must be filed for each tax year the corporation participated in the transaction. The corporation may have to pay a penalty if it is required to file Form 8886 and does not do so. The following are reportable transactions. 1. Any listed transaction, which is a transaction that is the same as or substantially similar to tax avoidance transactions identified by the IRS. 2. Any transaction offered under conditions of confidentiality for which the corporation paid an advisor a fee of at least $50,000. 3. Certain transactions for which the corporation has contractual protection against disallowance of the tax benefits. 4. Certain transactions resulting in a loss of at least $2 million in any single year or $4 million in any combination of years. 5. Any transaction identified by the IRS in published guidance as a "transaction of interest" (a transaction that the IRS believes has a potential for tax avoidance or evasion, but has not yet been identified as a listed transaction). For details, see Regulations section 1.6011-4 and the Instructions for Form 8886. Penalties. The corporation may have to pay a penalty if it is required to disclose a reportable transaction under section 6011 and fails to properly complete and file Form 8886. Penalties may also apply under section 6707A if the corporation fails to file Form 8886 with its corporate return, fails to provide a copy of Form 8886 to the Office of Tax Shelter Analysis (OTSA), or files a form that fails to include all the information required (or includes incorrect information). Other penalties, such as an accuracy-related penalty under section 6662A, may also apply. See the Instructions for Form 8886 for details on these and other penalties.

Recordkeeping
Keep the corporation's records for as long as they may be needed for the administration of any provision of the Internal Revenue Code. Usually, records that support an item of income, deduction, or credit on the return must be kept for 3 years from the date each shareholder's return is due or filed, whichever is later. Keep records that verify the corporation's basis in property for as long as they are needed to figure the basis of the original or replacement property. The corporation should keep copies of all filed returns. They help in preparing future and amended returns.
Amended Return
To correct a previously filed Form 1120S, file an amended Form 1120S and check box H(4) on page 1. Attach a statement that identifies the line number of each amended item, the corrected amount or treatment of the item, and an explanation of the reasons for each change. If the income, deductions, credits, or other information provided to any shareholder on Schedule K-1 is incorrect, file an amended Schedule K-1 (Form 1120S) for that shareholder with the amended Form 1120S. Also give a copy of the amended Schedule K-1 to that shareholder. Check the "Amended K-1" box at the top of the Schedule K-1 to indicate that it is an amended Schedule K-1. A change to the corporation's federal return may affect its state return. This includes changes made as the result of an IRS examination. For more information, contact the state tax agency for the state(s) in which the corporation's return was filed.

The transferor and transferee in certain section 351 transactions can make a joint election under section 362(e)(2)(C) to limit the transferor's basis in the stock received instead of the transferee's basis in the transferred property. The transferor and transferee may make the election by attaching the statement as provided in Notice 2005-70, 2005-41 I.R.B. 694, to their tax returns filed by the due date (including extensions) for the tax year in which the transaction occurred. Once made, the election is irrevocable. See section 362(e)(2)(C) and Notice 2005-70. Other forms and statements. See Pub. 542 for a list of other forms and statements a corporation may need to file in addition to the forms and statements discussed throughout these instructions.
Passive Activity Limitations
In general, section 469 limits the amount of losses, deductions, and credits that shareholders can claim from "passive activities." The passive activity limitations do not apply to the corporation. Instead, they apply to each shareholder's share of any income or loss and credit attributable to a passive activity. Because the treatment of each shareholder's share of corporate income or loss and credit depends on the nature of the activity that generated it, the corporation must report income or loss and credits separately for each activity. The following instructions and the instructions for Schedules K and K-1 (pages 20 through 34) explain the applicable passive activity limitation rules and specify the type of information the corporation must provide to its shareholders for each activity. If the corporation had more than one activity, it must report information for each activity on an attachment to Schedules K and K-1. Generally, passive activities include (a) activities that involve the conduct of a trade or business if the shareholder does not materially participate in the activity and (b) all rental activities (defined below) regardless of the shareholder's participation. For exceptions, see Activities That Are Not Passive Activities below. The level of each shareholder's participation in an
Instructions for Form 1120S
activity must be determined by the shareholder. The passive activity rules provide that losses and credits from passive activities can generally be applied only against income and tax from passive activities. Thus, passive losses and credits cannot be applied against income from salaries, wages, professional fees, or a business in which the shareholder materially participates; against "portfolio income" (defined beginning on page 8); or against the tax related to any of these types of income. Special rules require that net income from certain activities that would otherwise be treated as passive income must be recharacterized as nonpassive income for purposes of the passive activity limitations. See Recharacterization of Passive Income on page 9. To allow each shareholder to correctly apply the passive activity limitations, the corporation must report income or loss and credits separately for each of the following: trade or business activities, rental real estate activities, rental activities other than rental real estate, and portfolio income.
Services the shareholder performed as an employee are not treated as performed in a real property trade or business unless he or she owned more than 5% of the stock in the employer. 3. The rental of a dwelling unit used by a shareholder for personal purposes during the year for more than the greater of 14 days or 10% of the number of days that the residence was rented at fair rental value. 4. An activity of trading personal property for the account of owners of interests in the activity. For purposes of this rule, personal property means property that is actively traded, such as stocks, bonds, and other securities. See Temporary Regulations section 1.469-1T(e)(6). Note. The section 469(c)(3) exception for a working interest in oil and gas properties does not apply to an S corporation because state law generally limits the liability of shareholders.
Trade or Business Activities
A trade or business activity is an activity (other than a rental activity or an activity treated as incidental to an activity of holding property for investment) that: 1. Involves the conduct of a trade or business (within the meaning of section 162), 2. Is conducted in anticipation of starting a trade or business, or 3. Involves research or experimental expenditures deductible under section 174 (or that would be if you chose to deduct rather than capitalize them). If the shareholder does not materially participate in the activity, a trade or business activity of the corporation is a passive activity for the shareholder. Each shareholder must determine if he or she materially participated in an activity. As a result, while the corporation's ordinary business income (loss) is reported on page 1 of Form 1120S, the specific income and deductions from each separate trade or business activity must be reported on attachments to Form 1120S. Similarly, while each shareholder's allocable share of the corporation's ordinary business income (loss) is reported in box 1 of Schedule K-1, each shareholder's allocable share of the income and deductions from each trade or business activity must be reported on attachments to each Schedule K-1. See Passive Activity Reporting Requirements on page 10 for more information.
Activities That Are Not Passive Activities
The following are not passive activities. 1. Trade or business activities in which the shareholder materially participated for the tax year. 2. Any rental real estate activity in which the shareholder materially participated if the shareholder met both of the following conditions for the tax year. a. More than half of the personal services the shareholder performed in trades or businesses were performed in real property trades or businesses in which he or she materially participated. b. The shareholder performed more than 750 hours of services in real property trades or businesses in which he or she materially participated. For purposes of this rule, each interest in rental real estate is a separate activity unless the shareholder elects to treat all interests in rental real estate as one activity. If the shareholder is married filing jointly, either the shareholder or his or her spouse must separately meet both of the above conditions, without taking into account services performed by the other spouse. A real property trade or business is any real property development, redevelopment, construction, reconstruction, acquisition, conversion, rental, operation, management, leasing, or brokerage trade or business.
Rental Activities
Generally, except as noted below, if the gross income from an activity consists
-7-
of amounts paid principally for the use of real or personal tangible property held by the corporation, the activity is a rental activity. There are several exceptions to this general rule. Under these exceptions, an activity involving the use of real or personal tangible property is not a rental activity if any of the following apply. · The average period of customer use (defined below) for such property is 7 days or less. · The average period of customer use for such property is 30 days or less and significant personal services (defined below) are provided by or on behalf of the corporation. · Extraordinary personal services (defined on this page) are provided by or on behalf of the corporation. · Rental of the property is treated as incidental to a nonrental activity of the corporation under Temporary Regulations section 1.469-1T(e)(3)(vi) and Regulations section 1.469-1(e)(3)(vi). · The corporation customarily makes the property available during defined business hours for nonexclusive use by various customers. · The corporation provides property for use in a nonrental activity of a partnership in its capacity as an owner of an interest in such partnership. Whether the corporation provides property used in an activity of a partnership in the corporation's capacity as an owner of an interest in the partnership is determined on the basis of all the facts and circumstances. In addition, a guaranteed payment described in section 707(c) is never income from a rental activity. Average period of customer use. Figure the average period of customer use for a class of property by dividing the total number of days in all rental periods by the number of rentals during the tax year. If the activity involves renting more than one class of property, multiply the average period of customer use of each class by the ratio of the gross rental income from that class to the activity's total gross rental income. The activity's average period of customer use equals the sum of these class-by-class average periods weighted by gross income. See Regulations section 1.469-1(e)(3)(iii). Significant personal services. Personal services include only services performed by individuals. To determine if personal services are significant personal services, consider all the relevant facts and circumstances. Relevant facts and circumstances include: · How often the services are provided,
required to perform the services, and · The value of the services in relation to the amount charged for use of the property. The following services are not considered in determining whether personal services are significant. · Services necessary to permit the lawful use of the rental property. · Services performed in connection with improvements or repairs to the rental property that extend the useful life of the property substantially beyond the average rental period. · Services provided in connection with the use of any improved real property that are similar to those commonly provided in connection with long-term rentals of high-grade commercial or residential property. Examples include cleaning and maintenance of common areas, routine repairs, trash collection, elevator service, and security at entrances. Extraordinary personal services. Services provided in connection with making rental property available for customer use are extraordinary personal services only if the services are performed by individuals and the customers' use of the rental property is incidental to their receipt of the services. For example, a patient's use of a hospital room generally is incidental to the care received from the hospital's medical staff. Similarly, a student's use of a dormitory room in a boarding school is incidental to the personal services provided by the school's teaching staff. Rental activity incidental to a nonrental activity. An activity is not a rental activity if the rental of the property is incidental to a nonrental activity, such as the activity of holding property for investment, a trade or business activity, or the activity of dealing in property. Rental of property is incidental to an activity of holding property for investment if both of the following apply. · The main purpose for holding the property is to realize a gain from the appreciation of the property. · The gross rental income from such property for the tax year is less than 2% of the smaller of the property's unadjusted basis or its fair market value. Rental of property is incidental to a trade or business activity if all of the following apply. · The corporation owns an interest in the trade or business at all times during the year. · The rental property was mainly used in the trade or business activity during
· The type and amount of labor
the tax year or during at least 2 of the 5 preceding tax years. · The gross rental income from the property for the tax year is less than 2% of the smaller of the property's unadjusted basis or its fair market value. The sale or exchange of property that is also rented during the tax year (in which the gain or loss is recognized) is treated as incidental to the activity of dealing in property if, at the time of the sale or exchange, the property was held primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of the corporation's trade or business. See Temporary Regulations section 1.469-1T(e)(3) and Regulations section 1.469-1(e)(3) for more information on the definition of rental activities for purposes of the passive activity limitations. Reporting of rental activities. In reporting the corporation's income or losses and credits from rental activities, the corporation must separately report rental real estate activities and rental activities other than rental real estate activities. Shareholders who actively participate in a rental real estate activity may be able to deduct part or all of their rental real estate losses (and the deduction equivalent of rental real estate credits) against income (or tax) from nonpassive activities. Generally, the combined amount of rental real estate losses and the deduction equivalent of rental real estate credits from all sources (including rental real estate activities not held through the corporation) that may be claimed is limited to $25,000. Report rental real estate activity income (loss) on Form 8825, Rental Real Estate Income and Expenses of a Partnership or an S Corporation, and line 2 of Schedule K and box 2 of Schedule K-1, rather than on page 1 of Form 1120S. Report credits related to rental real estate activities on lines 13c and 13d of Schedule K (box 13, codes E and F, of Schedule K-1) and low-income housing credits on lines 13a and 13b of Schedule K (box 13, codes A, B, C, and D of Schedule K-1). Report income (loss) from rental activities other than rental real estate on line 3 of Schedule K and credits related to rental activities other than rental real estate on line 13e of Schedule K and in box 13, code G, of Schedule K-1.
Portfolio Income
Generally, portfolio income includes all gross income, other than income derived in the ordinary course of a trade or business, that is attributable to
Instructions for Form 1120S
-8-
interest; dividends; royalties; income from a real estate investment trust, a regulated investment company, a real estate mortgage investment conduit, a common trust fund, a controlled foreign corporation, a qualified electing fund, or a cooperative; income from the disposition of property that produces income of a type defined as portfolio income; and income from the disposition of property held for investment. See Self-Charged Interest below for an exception. Solely for purposes of the preceding paragraph, gross income derived in the ordinary course of a trade or business includes (and portfolio income, therefore, does not include) the following types of income. · Interest income on loans and investments made in the ordinary course of a trade or business of lending money. · Interest on accounts receivable arising from the performance of services or the sale of property in the ordinary course of a trade or business of performing such services or selling such property, but only if credit is customarily offered to customers of the business. · Income from investments made in the ordinary course of a trade or business of furnishing insurance or annuity contracts or reinsuring risks underwritten by insurance companies. · Income or gain derived in the ordinary course of an activity of trading or dealing in any property if such activity constitutes a trade or business (unless the dealer held the property for investment at any time before such income or gain is recognized). · Royalties derived by the taxpayer in the ordinary course of a trade or business of licensing intangible property. · Amounts included in the gross income of a patron of a cooperative by reason of any payment or allocation to the patron based on patronage occurring with respect to a trade or business of the patron. · Other income identified by the IRS as income derived by the taxpayer in the ordinary course of a trade or business. See Temporary Regulations section 1.469-2T(c)(3) for more information on portfolio income. Report portfolio income and related deductions on Schedule K rather than on page 1 of Form 1120S.
and deductions result from loans between the corporation and its shareholders. Self-charged interest also occurs in loans between the corporation and another S corporation or partnership if each owner in the borrowing entity has the same proportional ownership interest in the lending entity. The self-charged interest rules do not apply to a shareholder's interest in an S corporation if the S corporation makes an election under Regulations section 1.469-7(g) to avoid the application of these rules. To make the election, the S corporation must attach to its original or amended Form 1120S a statement that includes the name, address, and EIN of the S corporation and a declaration that the election is being made under Regulations section 1.469-7(g). The election will apply to the tax year for which it was made and all subsequent tax years. Once made, the election can only be revoked with the consent of the IRS. For more details on the self-charged interest rules, see Regulations section 1.469-7.
Grouping Activities
Generally, one or more trade or business or rental activities may be treated as a single activity if the activities make up an appropriate economic unit for measurement of gain or loss under the passive activity rules. Whether activities make up an appropriate economic unit depends on all the relevant facts and circumstances. The factors given the greatest weight in determining whether activities make up an appropriate economic unit are: · Similarities and differences in types of trades or businesses, · The extent of common control, · The extent of common ownership, · Geographical location, and · Reliance between or among the activities. Example. The corporation has a significant ownership interest in a bakery and a movie theater in Baltimore and a bakery and a movie theater in Philadelphia. Depending on the relevant facts and circumstances, there may be more than one reasonable method for grouping the corporation's activities. For instance, the following groupings may or may not be permissible. · A single activity. · A movie theater activity and a bakery activity. · A Baltimore activity and a Philadelphia activity. · Four separate activities. Once the corporation chooses a grouping under these rules, it must
continue using that grouping in later tax years unless a material change in the facts and circumstances makes it clearly inappropriate. The IRS may regroup the corporation's activities if the corporation's grouping fails to reflect one or more appropriate economic units and one of the primary purposes for the grouping is to avoid the passive activity limitations. Limitation on grouping certain activities. The following activities may not be grouped together. 1. A rental activity with a trade or business activity unless the activities being grouped together make up an appropriate economic unit and: a. The rental activity is insubstantial relative to the trade or business activity or vice versa or b. Each owner of the trade or business activity has the same proportionate ownership interest in the rental activity. If so, the portion of the rental activity involving the rental of property to be used in the trade or business activity can be grouped with the trade or business activity. 2. An activity involving the rental of real property with an activity involving the rental of personal property (except personal property provided in connection with the real property or vice versa). 3. Any activity with another activity in a different type of business and in which the corporation holds an interest as a limited partner or as a limited entrepreneur (as defined in section 464(e)(2)) if that other activity engages in holding, producing, or distributing motion picture films or videotapes; farming; leasing section 1245 property; or exploring for or exploiting oil and gas resources or geothermal deposits. Activities conducted through partnerships. Once a partnership determines its activities under these rules, the corporation as a partner can use these rules to group those activities with: · Each other, · Activities conducted directly by the corporation, or · Activities conducted through other partnerships. The corporation cannot treat as separate activities those activities grouped together by a partnership.
Self-Charged Interest
Certain self-charged interest income and deductions may be treated as passive activity gross income and passive activity deductions if the loan proceeds are used in a passive activity. Generally, self-charged interest income
Instructions for Form 1120S
Recharacterization of Passive Income
Under Temporary Regulations section 1.469-2T(f) and Regulations section 1.469-2(f), net passive income from certain passive activities must be treated as nonpassive income. Net passive income is the excess of an
-9-
activity's passive activity gross income over its passive activity deductions (current year deductions and prior year unallowed losses). Income from the following six sources is subject to recharacterization. Note. Any net passive income recharacterized as nonpassive income is treated as investment income for purposes of figuring investment interest expense limitations if it is from (a) an activity of renting substantially nondepreciable property from an equity-financed lending activity or (b) an activity related to an interest in a pass-through entity that licenses intangible property. 1. Significant participation passive activities. A significant participation passive activity is any trade or business activity in which the shareholder participated for more than 100 hours during the tax year but did not materially participate. Because each shareholder must determine his or her level of participation, the corporation will not be able to identify significant participation passive activities. 2. Certain nondepreciable rental property activities. Net passive income from a rental activity is nonpassive income if less than 30% of the unadjusted basis of the property used or held for use by customers in the activity is subject to depreciation under section 167. 3. Passive equity-financed lending activities. If the corporation has net income from a passive equity-financed lending activity, the smaller of the net passive income or the equity-financed interest income from the activity is nonpassive income. Note. The amount of income from the activities in items 1 through 3 above that any shareholder will be required to recharacterize as nonpassive income may be limited under Temporary Regulations section 1.469-2T(f)(8). Because the corporation will not have information regarding all of a shareholder's activities, it must identify all corporate activities meeting the definitions in items 2 and 3 as activities that may be subject to recharacterization. 4. Rental of property incidental to a development activity. Net rental activity income is the excess of passive activity gross income from renting or disposing of property over passive activity deductions (current year deductions and prior year unallowed losses) that are reasonably allocable to the rented property. Net rental activity income is nonpassive income for a shareholder if all of the following apply. a. The corporation recognizes gain from the sale, exchange, or other
disposition of the rental property during the tax year. b. The use of the item of property in the rental activity started less than 12 months before the date of disposition. The use of an item of rental property begins on the first day on which (a) the corporation owns an interest in the property, (b) substantially all of the property is either rented or held out for rent and ready to be rented, and (c) no significant value-enhancing services remain to be performed. c. The shareholder materially or significantly participated for any tax year in an activity that involved performing services to enhance the value of the property (or any other item of property, if the basis of the property disposed of is determined in whole or in part by reference to the basis of that item of property). Because the corporation cannot determine a shareholder's level of participation, the corporation must identify net income from property described above (without regard to the shareholder's level of participation) as income that may be subject to recharacterization. 5. Rental of property to a nonpassive activity. If a taxpayer rents property to a trade or business activity in which the taxpayer materially participates, the taxpayer's net rental activity income (defined in item 4) from the property is nonpassive income. 6. Acquisition of an interest in a pass-through entity that licenses intangible property. Generally, net royalty income from intangible property is nonpassive income if the taxpayer acquired an interest in the pass-through entity after the pass-through entity created the intangible property or performed substantial services or incurred substantial costs in developing or marketing the intangible property. Net royalty income is the excess of passive activity gross income from licensing or transferring any right in intangible property over passive activity deductions (current year deductions and prior year unallowed losses) that are reasonably allocable to the intangible property. See Temporary Regulations section 1.469-2T(f)(7)(iii) for exceptions to this rule.
Passive Activity Reporting Requirements
To allow shareholders to correctly apply the passive activity loss and credit limitation rules, any corporation that carries on more than one activity must: 1. Provide an attachment for each activity conducted through the corporation that identifies the type of activity conducted (trade or business,
rental real estate, rental activity other than rental real estate, or investment). 2. On the attachment for each activity, provide a statement, using the same box numbers as shown on Schedule K-1, detailing the net income (loss), credits, and all items required to be separately stated under section 1366(a)(1) from each trade or business activity, from each rental real estate activity, from each rental activity other than a rental real estate activity, and from investments. 3. Identify the net income (loss) and the shareholder's share of corporation interest expense from each activity of renting a dwelling unit that any shareholder uses for personal purposes during the year for more than the greater of 14 days or 10% of the number of days that the residence is rented at fair rental value. 4. Identify the net income (loss) and the shareholder's share of interest expense from each activity of trading personal property conducted through the corporation. 5. For any gain (loss) from the disposition of an interest in an activity or of an interest in property used in an activity (including dispositions before 1987 from which gain is being recognized after 1986): a. Identify the activity in which the property was used at the time of disposition, b. If the property was used in more than one activity during the 12 months preceding the disposition, identify the activities in which the property was used and the adjusted basis allocated to each activity, and c. For gains only, if the property was substantially appreciated at the time of the disposition and the applicable holding period specified in Regulations section 1.469-2(c)(2)(iii)(A) was not satisfied, identify the amount of the nonpassive gain and indicate whether or not the gain is investment income under Regulations section 1.469-2(c)(2)(iii)(F). 6. Specify the amount of gross portfolio income, the interest expense properly allocable to portfolio income, and expenses other than interest expense that are clearly and directly allocable to portfolio income. 7. Identify the ratable portion of any section 481 adjustment (whether a net positive or a net negative adjustment) allocable to each corporate activity. 8. Identify any gross income from sources specifically excluded from passive activity gross income, including: a. Income from intangible property, if the shareholder is an individual whose personal efforts significantly
Instructions for Form 1120S
-10-
contributed to the creation of the property; b. Income from state, local, or foreign income tax refunds; and c. Income from a covenant not to compete, if the shareholder is an individual who contributed the covenant to the corporation. 9. Identify any deductions that are not passive activity deductions. 10. If the corporation makes a full or partial disposition of its interest in another entity, identify the gain (loss) allocable to each activity conducted through the entity, and the gain allocable to a passive activity that would have been recharacterized as nonpassive gain had the corporation disposed of its interest in property used in the activity (because the property was substantially appreciated at the time of the disposition, and the gain represented more than 10% of the shareholder's total gain from the disposition). 11. Identify the following items from activities that may be subject to the recharacterization rules under Temporary Regulations section 1.469-2T(f) and Regulations section 1.469-2(f). a. Net income from an activity of renting substantially nondepreciable property. b. The smaller of equity-financed interest income or net passive income from an equity-financed lending activity. c. Net rental activity income from property developed (by the shareholder or the corporation), rented, and sold within 12 months after the rental of the property commenced. d. Net rental activity income from the rental of property by the corporation to a trade or business activity in which the shareholder had an interest (either directly or indirectly). e. Net royalty income from intangible property if the shareholder acquired the shareholder's interest in the corporation after the corporation created the intangible property or performed substantial services, or incurred substantial costs in developing or marketing the intangible property. 12. Identify separately the credits from each activity conducted by or through the corporation. 13. Identify the shareholder's pro rata share of the corporation's self-charged interest income or expense (see Self-Charged Interest on page 9). a. Loans between a shareholder and the corporation. Identify the lending or borrowing shareholder's share of the self-charged interest income or expense. If the shareholder made the loan to the corporation, also identify the activity in which the loan proceeds were used. If the proceeds
Instructions for Form 1120S
were used in more than one activity, allocate the interest to each activity based on the amount of the proceeds used in each activity. b. Loans between the corporation and another S corporation or partnership.

Indirect costs. Corporations subject to the uniform capitalization rules are required to capitalize not only direct costs but an allocable part of most indirect costs (including taxes) that benefit the assets produced or acquired for resale, or are incurred because of the performance of production or resale activities. For inventory, some of the indirect costs that must be capitalized are: · Administration expenses; · Taxes; · Depreciation; · Insurance; · Compensation paid to officers attributable to services; · Rework labor; and · Contributions to pension, stock bonus, and certain profit-sharing, annuity, or deferred compensation plans.

For more details on the uniform capitalization rules, see Regulations sections 1.263A-1 through 1.263A-3. Special rules for certain corporations engaged in farming. For S corporations not required to use the accrual method of accounting, the rules of section 263A do not apply to expenses of raising any: · Animal or · Plant that has a preproductive period of 2 years or less. Shareholders of S corporations not required to use the accrual method of accounting may elect to currently deduct the preproductive period expenses of certain plants that have a preproductive period of more than 2 years. Because each shareholder makes the election to deduct these expenses, the corporation should not capitalize them. Instead, the corporation should report the expenses separately on line 12d of Schedule K and report each shareholder's pro rata share in box 12 of Schedule K-1 using code M. See Uniform Capitalization Rules in chapter 6 of Pub. 225, Farmer's Tax Guide, sections 263A(d) and (e), and Regulations section 1.263A-4 for definitions and other details.

For business start-up and organization costs paid or incurred after September 8, 2008, a corporation can deduct up to $5,000 of such costs for the year it begins business. The $5,000 deduction is reduced by the amount the total costs exceed $50,000. If the total costs are $55,000 or more, the deduction is reduced to zero. Any costs not deducted must be amortized ratably over a 180-month period, beginning with the month the corporation begins business. The corporation is not required to attach a statement or specifically identify the amount deducted in order for the election to be effective. The corporation can choose to forgo the deduction and instead elect
to capitalize all such costs. The election to deduct or capitalize costs is irrevocable. See Temporary Regulations section 1.195-1T and 1.248-1T. For business start-up and organization costs paid or incurred after October 22, 2004, and before September 9, 2008, a corporation can elect to deduct up to $5,000 of such costs for the year it begins business (otherwise the corporation must capitalize all such costs). The $5,000 deduction is reduced by the amount the total costs exceed $50,000. If the total costs are $55,000 or more, the deduction is reduced to zero. Any costs not deducted must be amortized ratably over a 180-month period, beginning with the month the corporation begins business. The corporation must attach any statements required by Regulations sections 1.195-1(b) and 1.248-1(c). However, the corporation can apply the provisions of Temporary Regulations sections 1.195-1T and 1.248-1T to all expenses paid or incurred after October 22, 2004, if the period of limitations on assessment has not expired for the year of the election. Otherwise, the provisions under Regulations sections 1.195-1(b) and 1.248-1(c) will apply. For business start-up and organization costs paid or incurred before October 23, 2004, a corporation can elect to amortize such costs over a period of 60-months or more. Report the deductible amount of such costs and any amortization on line 26. For amortization that begins during the 2008 tax year, complete and attach Form 4562.

Amounts treated as compensation. The corporation may be able to deduct otherwise nondeductible entertainment, amusement, or recreation expenses if the amounts are treated as compensation to the recipient and reported on Form W-2 for an employee or on Form 1099-MISC for an independent contractor. However, if the recipient is an officer, director, or beneficial owner (directly or indirectly) of more than 10% of the corporation's stock, the deductible expense is limited. See section 274(e)(2) and Notice 2005-45, 2005-24 I.R.B. 1228. Lobbying expenses. Generally, lobbying expenses are not deductible. Report nondeductible expenses on Schedule K, line 16c.

more than 50% of other deductible farming expenses. Prepaid farm supplies include expenses for feed, seed, fertilizer, and similar farm supplies not used or consumed during the year. They also include the cost of poultry that would be allowable as a deduction in a later tax year if the corporation were to (a) capitalize the cost of poultry bought for use in its farm business and deduct it ratably over the lesser of 12 months or the useful life of the poultry and (b) deduct the cost of poultry bought for resale in the year it sells or otherwise disposes of it. If the limit applies, the corporation can deduct prepaid farm supplies that do not exceed 50% of its other deductible farm expenses in the year of payment. The excess is deductible only in the year the corporation uses or consumes the supplies (other than poultry, which is deductible as explained above). For exceptions and more details on these rules, see Pub. 225. Reforestation expenditures. If the corporation made an election to deduct a portion of its reforestation expenditures on line 12d of Schedule K, it must amortize over an 84-month period the portion of these expenditures in excess of the amount deducted on Schedule K (see section 194). Deduct on line 19 only the amortization of these excess reforestation expenditures. See Reforestation expense deduction (code O) on page 27.

less for the 3-tax-year period ending with that prior tax year. A qualifying small business taxpayer is a taxpayer (a) that, for each prior tax year ending on or after December 31, 2000, has average annual gross receipts of $10 million or less for the 3-tax-year period ending with that prior tax year and (b) whose principal business activity is not an ineligible activity. Under this accounting method, inventory costs for raw materials purchased for use in producing finished goods and merchandise purchased for resale are deductible in the year the finished goods or merchandise are sold (but not before the year the corporation paid for the raw materials or merchandise, if it is also using the cash method). For additional guidance on this method of accounting for inventoriable items, see Pub. 538 and the Instructions for Form 3115. Enter amounts paid for all raw materials and merchandise during the tax year on line 2. The amount the corporation can deduct for the tax year is figured on line 8. All filers that have not elected to treat inventoriable items as materials and supplies that are not incidental should see Section 263A uniform capitalization rules on page 13 before completing Schedule A.

If there is a difference between last year's closing inventory and the refigured amount, attach an explanation and take it into account when figuring the corporation's section 481(a) adjustment.
Lines 9a Through 9f. Inventory Valuation Methods
Inventories can be valued at: · Cost, · Cost or market value (whichever is lower), or · Any other method approved by the IRS that conforms to the requirements of the applicable regulations cited below. However, if the corporation is using the cash method of accounting, it is required to use cost. Corporations that account for inventoriable items in the same manner as materials and supplies that are not incidental can currently deduct expenditures for direct labor and all indirect costs that would otherwise be included in inventory costs. The average cost (rolling average) method of valuing inventories generally does not conform to the requirements of the regulations. See Rev. Rul. 71-234, 1971-1 C.B. 148. However, if a corporation uses the average cost method for financial accounting purposes, there are two safe harbors under which this method will be deemed to clearly reflect income for federal income tax purposes. See Rev. Proc. 2008-43, 2008-30 I.R.B. 186, for details.
Schedule A. Cost of Goods Sold
Generally, inventories are required at the beginning and end of each tax year if the production, purchase, or sale of merchandise is an income-producing factor. See Regulations section 1.471-1. However, if the corporation is a qualifying taxpayer or a qualifying small business taxpayer, it can adopt or change its accounting method to account for inventoriable items in the same manner as materials and supplies that are not incidental, unless its business is a tax shelter as defined in section 448(d)(3). A qualifying taxpayer is a taxpayer that, for each prior tax year ending after December 16, 1998, has average annual gross receipts of $1 million or

For details, see Regulations section 1.263A-2(b). For corporations that have elected the simplified resale method, additional section 263A costs are generally those

Corporations that use erroneous valuation methods must change to a method permitted for federal income tax purposes. Use Form 3115 to make this change. On line 9a, check the method(s) used for valuing inventories. Under lower of cost or market, the term "market" (for normal goods) means the current bid price prevailing on the inventory valuation date for the particular merchandise in the volume usually purchased by the taxpayer. For a manufacturer, market applies to the basic elements of cost -- raw materials, labor, and burden. If section 263A applies to the taxpayer, the basic elements of cost must reflect the current bid price of all direct costs and all indirect costs properly allocable to goods on hand at the inventory date. Inventory may be valued below cost when the merchandise is unsalable at normal prices or unusable in the normal way because the goods are subnormal due to damage, imperfections, shopwear, etc., within the meaning of Regulations section 1.471-2(c). The goods may be valued at the bona fide selling price minus the direct cost of disposition (but not less than scrap value). Bona fide selling price means actual offering of goods during a period ending not later than 30 days after the inventory date. If this is the first year the Last-in, First-out (LIFO) inventory method was either adopted or extended to inventory goods not previously valued under the LIFO method provided in section 472, attach Form 970, Application To Use LIFO Inventory Method, or a statement with the information required by Form 970. Also check the LIFO box on line 9c. On line 9d, enter the amount or the percent of total closing inventories covered under section 472. Estimates are acceptable. If the corporation changed or extended its inventory method to LIFO and had to write up the opening inventory to cost in the year of election, report the effect of the write-up as other income (line 5, page 1), proportionately over a 3-year period that begins with the year of the LIFO election (section 472(d)). For more information on inventory valuation methods, see Pub. 538.

Schedules K and K-1 (General Instructions)
Purpose of Schedules
The corporation is liable for taxes on lines 22a, 22b, and 22c, on page 1 of Form 1120S. Shareholders are liable for tax on their shares of the corporation's income (reduced by any taxes paid by the corporation on income). Shareholders must include their share of the income on their tax return whether or not it is distributed to them. Unlike most partnership income, S corporation income is not self-employment income and is not subject to self-employment tax. Schedule K. Schedule K is a summary schedule of all shareholders' shares of the corporation's income, deductions, credits, etc. All corporations must complete Schedule K. Schedule K-1. Schedule K-1 shows each shareholder's separate share. Attach a copy of each Schedule K-1 to the Form 1120S filed with the IRS. Keep a copy for the corporation's records and give each shareholder a copy. Give each shareholder a copy of the Shareholder's Instructions for Schedule K-1 (Form 1120S) or specific instructions for each item reported on the shareholder's Schedule K-1.
Item 6
Complete item 6 if the corporation: (a) was a C corporation before it elected to be an S corporation or the corporation acquired an asset with a basis determined by reference to its basis (or the basis of any other property) in the hands of a C corporation and (b) has net unrealized built-in gain (defined below) in excess of the net recognized built-in gain from prior years. The corporation is liable for section 1374 tax if (a) and (b) above apply and it has a net recognized built-in gain (section 1374(d)(2)) for its tax year. The corporation's net unrealized built-in gain is the amount, if any, by which the fair market value of the assets of the corporation at the beginning of its first S corporation year (or as of the date the assets were acquired, for any asset with a basis determined by reference to its basis (or the basis of any other property) in the hands of a C corporation) exceeds the aggregate adjusted basis of such assets at that time. Enter the corporation's net unrealized built-in gain reduced by the net recognized built-in gain for prior years. See sections 1374(c)(2) and (d)(1).
Substitute Forms
The corporation does not need IRS approval to use a substitute Schedule K-1 if it is an exact copy of the IRS schedule. The boxes must use the same numbers and titles and must be in the same order and format as on the comparable IRS Schedule K-1. The substitute schedule must include the OMB number. The corporation must provide each shareholder with the Shareholder's Instructions for Schedule K-1 (Form 1120S) or instructions that apply to the specific items reported on the shareholder's Schedule K-1. The corporation must request IRS approval to use other substitute Schedules K-1. To request approval, write to Internal Revenue Service, Attention: Substitute Forms Program, SE:W:CAR:MP:T:T:SP, 1111 Constitution Avenue, NW, IR-6526, Washington, DC 20224.

Schedule M-2. Analysis of Accumulated Adjustments Account, Other Adjustments Account, and Shareholders' Undistributed Taxable Income Previously Taxed
Column (a). Accumulated Adjustments Account
The accumulated adjustments account (AAA) is an account of the S corporation that generally reflects the accumulated undistributed net income of the corporation for the corporation's post-1982 years. S corporations with accumulated E&P must maintain the AAA to determine the tax effect of distributions during S years and the post-termination transition period. An S corporation without accumulated E&P does not need to maintain the AAA in order to determine the tax effect of distributions. Nevertheless, if an S corporation without accumulated E&P engages in certain transactions to which section 381(a) applies, such as a merger into an S corporation with accumulated E&P, the S corporation must be able to calculate its AAA at the time of the merger for purposes of determining the tax effect of post-merger distributions. Therefore, it is recommended that the AAA be maintained by all S corporations. On the first day of the corporation's first tax year as an S corporation, the balance of the AAA is zero. At the end of the tax year, adjust the AAA for the
items as explained below and in the order listed. 1. Increase the AAA by income (other than tax-exempt income) and the excess of the deduction for depletion over the basis of the property subject to depletion (unless the property is an oil and gas property the basis of which has been allocated to shareholders). 2. Generally, decrease the AAA by deductible losses and expenses, nondeductible expenses (other than expenses related to tax-exempt income), and the sum of the shareholders' deductions for depletion for any oil or gas property held by the corporation as described in section 1367(a)(2)(E). If deductible losses and expenses include the fair market value of contributed property (see page 26), further adjust AAA by adding back the fair market value of the contributed property and subtracting instead the property's adjusted basis. If the total decreases under 2 exceed the total increases under 1 above, the excess is a "net negative adjustment." If the corporation has a net negative adjustment, do not take it into account under 2. Instead, take it into account only under 4 below. 3. Decrease AAA (but not below zero) by property distributions (other than dividend distributions from accumulated E&P), unless the corporation elects to reduce accumulated E&P first. See Distributions on page 37 for definitions and other details. 4. Decrease AAA by any net negative adjustment. For adjustments to the AAA for redemptions, reorganizations, and corporate separations, see Regulations section 1.1368-2(d). Note. The AAA may have a negative balance at year end. See section 1368(e).
Instructions for Form 1120S
-36-
Column (b). Other Adjustments Account
The other adjustments account is adjusted for tax-exempt income (and related expenses) and federal taxes attributable to a C corporation tax year. After these adjustments are made, the account is reduced for any distributions made during the year. See Distributions below.
Column (c). Shareholders' Undistributed Taxable Income Previously Taxed
The shareholders' undistributed taxable income previously taxed account, also called previously taxed income (PTI), is maintained only if the corporation had a balance in this account at the start of its 2008 tax year. If there is a beginning balance for the 2008 tax year, no adjustments are made to the account except to reduce the account for distributions made under section 1375(d) (as in effect before the enactment of the Subchapter S Revision Act of 1982). See Distributions below for the order of distributions from the account. Each shareholder's right to nontaxable distributions from PTI is personal and cannot be transferred to another person. The corporation is required to keep records of each shareholder's net share of PTI.
The only adjustments that can be made to the accumulated E&P of an S corporation are (a) reductions for dividend distributions; (b) adjustments for redemptions, liquidations, reorganizations, etc.; and (c) reductions for investment credit recapture tax for which the corporation is liable. See sections 1371(c) and (d)(3). 4. Reduce the other adjustments account (OAA). 5. Reduce any remaining shareholders' equity accounts. Elections relating to source of distributions. The corporation may modify the above ordering rules by making one or more of the following elections: Election to distribute accumulated E&P first. If the corporation has accumulated E&P and wants to distribute from this account before making distributions from the AAA, it may elect to do so with the consent of all its affected shareholders (section 1368(e)(3)(B)). This election is irrevocable and applies only for the tax year for which it is made. For details on making the election, see Statement regarding elections below. Election to make a deemed dividend. If the corporation wants to distribute all or part of its accumulated E&P through a deemed dividend, it may elect to do so with the consent of all its affected shareholders (section 1368(e)(3)(B)). Under this election, the corporation will be treated as also having made the election to distribute accumulated E&P first. The amount of the deemed dividend cannot exceed the accumulated E&P at the end of the tax year. The E&P at year end is first reduced by any actual distributions of accumulated E&P made during the tax year. A deemed dividend is treated as if it were a pro rata distribution of money to the shareholders, received by the shareholders, and immediately contributed back to the corporation, all on the last day of the tax year. This election is irrevocable and applies only for the tax year for which it is made. For details on making the election, see Statement regarding elections below. Election to forego PTI. If the corporation wants to forego distributions of PTI, it may elect to do so with the consent of all its affected shareholders (section 1368(e)(3)(B)). Under this election, paragraph 2 under General rule above does not apply to any distribution made during the tax year. This election is irrevocable and applies only for the tax year for which it is made. For details on making the election, see Statement regarding elections.
Statement regarding elections. To make any of the above elections, the corporation must attach a statement to a timely filed original or amended Form 1120S for the tax year for which the election is made. In the statement, the corporation must identify the election it is making and must state that each shareholder consents to the election. The statement of election to make a deemed dividend must include the amount of the deemed dividend distributed to each shareholder. For more details on the election, see Regulations section 1.1368-1(f)(5).
Example
The following example shows how the Schedule M-2 accounts are adjusted for items of income (loss), deductions, and distributions reported on Form 1120S. In this example, the corporation has no PTI or accumulated E&P. Items per return are: 1. Page 1, line 21 income -- $10,000 2. Schedule K, line 2 loss -- ($3,000) 3. Schedule K, line 4 income -- $4,000 4. Schedule K, line 5a income -- $16,000 5. Schedule K, line 12a deduction -- $24,000 6. Schedule K, line 12d deduction -- $3,000 7. Schedule K, line 13g work opportunity credit -- $6,000 8. Schedule K, line 16a tax-exempt interest -- $5,000 9. Schedule K, line 16c nondeductible expenses -- $6,000 (reduction in salaries and wages for work opportunity credit), and 10. Schedule K, line 16d distributions -- $65,000. Based on items 1 through 10 above and starting balances of zero, the columns for the AAA and the other adjustments account are completed as shown in the Schedule M-2 Worksheet on page 36. For the AAA, the worksheet line 3 -- $20,000 amount is the total of the Schedule K, lines 4 and 5a income of $4,000 and $16,000. The worksheet line 5 -- $36,000 amount is the total of the Schedule K, line 2 loss of ($3,000), line 12a (code A) deduction of $24,000, line 12d (code R) deduction of $3,000, and the line 16c nondeductible expenses of $6,000. The worksheet line 7 is zero. The AAA at the end of the tax year (figured without regard to distributions and the net negative adjustment of $6,000) is zero, and distributions cannot reduce the AAA below zero. For the other adjustments account, the worksheet line 3 amount is the
Distributions
General rule. Unless the corporation makes one of the elections described below, property distributions (including cash) are applied in the following order (to reduce accounts of the S corporation that are used to figure the tax effect of distributions made by the corporation to its shareholders): 1. Reduce the AAA determined without regard to any net negative adjustment for the tax year (but not below zero). If distributions during the tax year exceed the AAA at the close of the tax year determined without regard to any net negative adjustment for the tax year, the AAA is allocated pro rata to each distribution made during the tax year. See section 1368. 2. Reduce shareholders' PTI account for any section 1375(d) (as in effect before 1983) distributions. A distribution from the PTI account is tax free to the extent of a shareholder's basis in his or her stock in the corporation. 3. Reduce accumulated E&P. Generally, the S corporation has accumulated E&P only if it has not distributed E&P accumulated in prior years when the S corporation was a C corporation (section 1361(a)(2)). See section 312 for information on E&P.

Principal Business Activity Codes
This list of principal business activities and their associated codes is designed to classify an enterprise by the type of activity in which it is engaged to facilitate the administration of the Internal Revenue Code. These principal business activity codes are based on the North American Industry Classification System. Code Code
Using the list of activities and codes below, determine from which activity the company derives the largest percentage of its "total receipts." Total receipts is defined as the sum of gross receipts or sales (page 1, line 1a); all other income (page 1, lines 4 and 5); income reported on Schedule K, lines 4, 5a, and 6; income or net gain reported on Schedule K, lines 7, 8a, 9 and 10; and income or net gain reported on Form 8825, lines 2, 19 and 20a. If the company purchases raw materials and supplies them to a subcontractor to produce the finished Code
product, but retains title to the product, the company is considered a manufacturer and must use one of the manufacturing codes (311110-339900). Once the principal business activity is determined, enter the six-digit code from the list below on page 1, item B. Also enter a brief description of the business activity on page 2, Schedule B, line 2(a) and the principal product or service of the business on line 2(b).
