Wi 3k-1 Instructions

[Latanya Hariri]

Newitem D checkbox(es) are added for stock acquisition method(s). New item E checkbox is added to indicate when a Regulations section 1.1367-1(g) election is in effect during the tax year for this S corporation. See Item D and Item E for details.

Generally, the deduction for your share of aggregate losses and deductions reported on Schedule K-1 (Form 1120-S) is limited to the basis of your stock and loans from you to the corporation. For details and exceptions, see section 1366(d). The basis of your stock is generally figured at the end of the corporation's tax year. Any losses and deductions not allowed this year because of the basis limit can be carried forward indefinitely and deducted in a later year subject to the basis limit for that year.

Basis is decreased (but not below zero) by (a) nondeductible expenses, and (b) the depletion deduction for any oil and gas property held by the corporation, but only to the extent your share of the property's adjusted basis exceeds that deduction.

The basis of your loans to the corporation is generally the balance the corporation owes you, adjusted for any reductions and restorations of loan basis. See the instructions for box 16, code E, in the Shareholder's Instructions for Schedule K-1 (Form 1120-S). Any amounts described in (3) and (4), earlier, not used to offset amounts in (1), earlier, or to reduce your stock basis, are used to reduce your loan basis (to the extent of such basis prior to such reduction).

Loans that a shareholder guarantees or co-signs aren't part of a shareholder's loan basis. Shareholders only obtain basis from acting as a guarantor or in a similar capacity to the extent the shareholder makes a payment pursuant to the guarantee.

When a shareholder has a different basis in different blocks of stock, pass-through items are generally allocated pro rata to all shares, regardless of their different bases. If there is a partial stock sale or partial redemption, you may file more than one Form 7203 and provide a description of what period the form covers. See Regulations section 1.1367-1(b)(2) and (c)(3) for details.

Enter the amount by which your cumulative depletion deduction exceeds your proportionate share of basis in the property subject to depletion. See information reported in Schedule K-1 (Form 1120-S), box 15, using code C.

Enter any other decreases to stock basis not accounted for on the lines above. This includes the reduction to basis for the sale or redemption of part of your stock. If an election is made under Regulations section 1.1367-1(g), enter the amounts on this line as instructed on line 8, including any prior year carryover amounts.

If a portion of your stock is redeemed, sold, or otherwise disposed of during the year, attach two separate forms. Use the first to figure your stock basis at the date of sale and the second to figure your stock and debt basis at year end.

Enter any new loans made during the tax year and evidenced by a formal note in a separate column. If a formal note is refinanced, any increase should be entered on line 17 under the same column as the original loan.

The corporate losses and other deduction items are limited to the sum of your stock and debt basis. When stock and debt basis is insufficient, and there is more than one type of loss or deduction item that reduces basis, the amounts allowed as a loss or deduction are allocated on a pro rata basis. See Regulations sections 1.1366-2(a)(4) and (5).

We ask for the information on this form to carry out the Internal Revenue laws of the United States. You are required to give us the information. We need it to ensure that you are complying with these laws and to allow us to figure and collect the right amount of tax.

The instructions provided with California tax forms are a summary of California tax law and are only intended to aid taxpayers in preparing their state income tax returns. We include information that is most useful to the greatest number of taxpayers in the limited space available. It is not possible to include all requirements of the R&TC in the instructions. Taxpayers should not consider the instructions as authoritative law.

California follows the revised federal instructions (with some exceptions) for reporting the sale, exchange or disposition of an asset for which an IRC Section 179 expense was claimed in a prior year by a partnership, limited liability company (LLC) or S corporation.

Any information returns required for federal purposes under IRC Sections 6038, 6038A, 6038B, and 6038D are also required for California purposes. Attach the information returns to your California tax return when filed. If the information returns are not provided, penalties may be imposed under R&TC Sections 19141.2 and 19141.5.

An individual or entity owning an interest in a partnership whose potential personal liability for partnership debts is limited to the amount of money or other property that the partner contributed or is required to contribute to the partnership.

The place at which intangible personal property is employed as capital in California or the possession and control of the property is localized in connection with a business in California so that its substantial use and value attach to and become an asset of the business in California.

The process by which business income from a trade or business is conducted in two or more states (an apportioning trade or business) is divided between taxing jurisdictions. Get Schedule R for more information.

A method of taxation by which all of the activities comprising a single trade or business are viewed as a single unit, regardless of whether those activities are conducted by divisions of a single entity or by commonly owned or controlled entities. For more information about unitary business principles, get FTB Pub. 1061, Guidelines for Corporations Filing a Combined Report.

The choice of a particular accounting method for tax reporting purposes. Generally, the partnership decides how to compute taxable income from its operations. For example, it chooses the accounting method and depreciation methods it will use.

However, certain elections are made separately on your California tax return and not by the partnership. This election is made under IRC Section 617 (deduction and recapture of certain mining exploration expenditures, paid or incurred).

For definitions of a partnership, general partnership, limited partnership, limited liability partnership, etc., see the instructions for Form 565, Partnership Return of Income, or the instructions for federal Form 1065.

Nonresident, corporate, and other entity partners must report their distributive share of income, loss or credits apportioned or allocated to California as indicated on Schedule K-1 (565), column (e). Special rules apply if a partner and the partnership engage in a unitary business. See Cal. Code Regs., tit. 18 sections 17951-4 and 25137-1 for more information. Also see General Information E, Unitary Partners.

Residents, part-year residents, and some nonresidents may qualify for a credit for taxes paid to other states on income that is apportioned or allocated to a state other than California. For more information, get California Schedule S, Other State Tax Credit.

If the partnership has income from nonbusiness intangibles, the source of that nonbusiness intangible income will be determined at the partner level. In most cases, income from nonbusiness intangible property is sourced at the residence or commercial domicile of the partner. If the partner is an individual, estate, trust, or pass-through entity owned by an individual, income from nonbusiness intangibles will have a California source if the intangible has acquired a California business situs. For example, a nonresident pledges stocks, bonds, or other intangible personal property in California. This pledge is security for the payment of debt, taxes, or other liabilities incurred for a business in the state. The pledged property will acquire a business situs in California. Another example is a nonresident who maintains an office and bank account in California for the business activities in this state. The bank account will acquire a business situs in California. See Cal. Code Regs., tit. 18 section 17951-2 and R&TC Section 17952. If the intangible income is determined to have a business situs by the partnership, the intangible income will be included in column (e).

Because the source of intangible nonbusiness income is dependent upon the status of the individual partner, that income is not included in column (e) and is entered only in Table 1. The partner must determine the source of such income by applying the rules described above.

Unitary partners cannot use the California source information reflected in column (e). Such partners must use the information in Table 1 and Table 2 as described in the following instructions, and in the Line Instructions.

If you are a partner that is unitary with the partnership, use Table 2 to compute your factors, applying the rules shown below (see Cal. Code Regs., tit. 18 sections 25129 to 25137 for examples). Partners that are unitary with the partnership should perform the following steps:

Use Schedule R to compute the numerator and the denominator of the property factor. Adjust factors in accordance with Cal. Code Regs., tit. 18 sections 25129, 25130, and 25131. Also apply the following special rules:

If the apportioning trade or business conducted by a partner is not unitary with the apportioning trade or business of the partnership, the partnership apportions its business income separately, using Schedules R, R-1, R-2, R-3, and R-4 only. The different items of business income as apportioned to CA are entered in column (e).

Important Note to Partners: If your Schedule K-1 (565) reports losses and/or deductions, you must first apply the basis, at-risk, and the passive activity loss limitations before such losses/deductions can be deducted on your California return. See Instructions, Loss Limitations. Also, see IRC Section 705(a) for information on how to compute basis.
