What's New?
The Department of Commerce is re-issuing identification numbers for incorporation or qualification in the state of Utah. Each new number issued will consist of 6 or 7 digits followed by a 4-digit suffix. Enter the new identification number on all return forms where requested. If you have not yet received notification of your new identification number, enter your original 6-digit charter number. Use tax, in the amount of $400 or less, may be claimed on Line 10 of the return. If use tax exceeds $400, the purchaser is required to obtain a sales and use tax license. See instructions on Page 3.

Important Information Regarding Extension of Time to File
An extension of time to file your tax return is NOT an extension of time to pay your taxes. You must pay your tax due by the due date. You are automatically allowed an extension of up to six months to file your return. However, if the prepayment requirements have not been met on or before the original due date, penalties will be assessed. Need more information? Telephone (801) 297-2200 or 1-800-622-4335 Forms (801) 297-6700 or 1-800-622-4335 ext. 6700 You can find additional tax information and forms on the Tax Commission's web page, at: http://www.tax.ex.state.ut.us If you need an accommodation under the Americans with Disabilities Act, contact the Tax Commission at (801) 297-3811 or Telecommunications Device for the Deaf (TDD) (801) 297-3819.

General Instructions and Information
Corporation Identification Numbers
The Utah State Tax Commission uses the Employer Identification Number (EIN) as the corporation's taxpayer identification number with the state. The Utah Department of Commerce issues an identification number upon incorporation or qualification in Utah. Enter the EIN and Utah Incorporation/Qualification Numbers in the fields provided. Include your EIN or Utah Incorporation/Qualification Number for proper identification of the corporate tax return or correspondence.

Who Must File
Every regulated investment company (RIC) or fund of such company, as defined in IRC Sections 851(a) or 851(h), that is organized under the laws of Utah must file form TC-20R.

Due Date
Returns are due on or before April 15th (for calendar year filers) or the 15th day of the fourth month following the close of the taxable year (for fiscal year filers).

Filing Extension
Regulated investment companies are automatically allowed an extension of up to six months to file a return without filing an extension form. This is an extension of time to file the return - NOT an extension of time to pay taxes. To avoid penalty and interest, the prepayment requirements must be met on or before the original return due date and all returns must be filed within the six-month extension period.

current year's tax or 100 percent of the prior year's tax. As defined in IRC Section 6655 the applicable percentage of the required annual payment for annualized income installments, for adjusted seasonal installments, and for estimated tax payments based on the current year tax liability is the following: Installment Percentage 1st 22.5 2nd 45.0 3rd 67.5 4th 90.0 If a taxpayer elects a different annualization period than the period used for federal purposes, the taxpayer must make an election with the Tax Commission at the same time as provided in IRC Section 6655. Prepayments should be made with form TC559, "Utah Corporation Franchise/Income Tax Payment Coupon." Prepayment of Minimum Tax Regulated investment companies that met the prepayment requirement in the current year and that had a tax liability of $100 (the minimum tax) for the previous year, may choose to prepay the minimum tax amount of $100 on the 15th day of the 12th month instead of four increments of $25. Regulated investment companies that met the prepayment requirement in the previous year and have a tax liability of $100 (the minimum tax) in the current year, may choose to prepay the minimum tax amount of $100 on the 15th day of 12th month instead of four increments of $25. In this scenario, the regulated investment company must pay $100, not 90 percent. Regulated investment companies not making the required tax prepayments are subject to a penalty as stated in "Penalties," below.

Minimum Tax
There is a minimum tax (privilege tax) of $100 on every regulated investment company regardless of whether the regulated investment company exercises its right to do business.

Prepayment Requirements
Every regulated investment company having a Utah tax liability of $3,000 or more in the current year, or which had a tax liability of $3,000 or more in the previous year, must make quarterly estimated tax prepayments. A regulated investment company is not subject to the prepayment requirements for the first year that regulated investment company is required to file a return in Utah, if the regulated investment company makes a payment on or before the due date, without extension, equal to or greater than the minimum tax. Prepayments are due in four equal payments on the 15th day of the 4th, 6th, 9th and 12th months of the regulated investment company's taxable year. Regulated investment companies may elect to make the quarterly prepayments equal to 90 percent of the

Penalties
The penalty for failure to file a tax due return by the due date is the greater of $20 or 10 percent of the unpaid tax. In addition, if a tax balance remains unpaid 90 days after the due date, a second penalty, the greater of $20 or 10 percent of the tax balance, will be added for failure to pay timely. The penalty for failure to pay tax due as reported on a timely filed return, or within 30 days of a notice of deficiency, is the greater of $20 or 10 percent of the tax due. The penalty for underpayment of the extension prepayment is 2 percent per month of the unpaid

tax during the extension period. If the return is not filed by the extension due date, failure to file and failure to pay penalties will apply, as if the extension has not been granted. Penalty for failure to file an information return or complete supporting schedule is $50 for each return or schedule to a maximum of $1,000. The penalty for each underpayment of required estimated tax or required quarterly installments is determined by applying the state interest rate(s) in effect for the period of the underpayment, plus four percentage points, to the amount of the underpayment for the period of the underpayment. For a list of additional penalties that may be imposed, please refer to UCA §59-1-401. The Tax Commission will calculate the penalty for underpayment of required prepayments. Taxpayers who would like to calculate their own penalty may contact the Tax Commission at (801) 297-7790 or 1-800-662-4335 for assistance.
