C California and Federal Differences The federal Disabled Access Credit under IRC Section 44 and the California Disabled Access Credit under R&TC Sections 17053.42 and 23642 are generally the same, except: • California bases the credit on 50% (.50) of the eligible access expenditures up to $250.

The federal credit is one of the general business credits subject to the limitations imposed by IRC Section 38. D Qualifications To qualify for the Disabled Access Credit, you must be an eligible small business that complies with the federal Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (Public Law 101-336) and pay or incur eligible access expenditures for taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 1996. E Definitions Eligible small business is any business or person that meets both of the following requirements: • Had gross receipts for the preceding taxable year that did not exceed $1 million, or if gross receipts exceeded $1 million, employed no more than 30 full-time employees during the preceding taxable year. • Elects to claim the Disabled Access Credit for the taxable year by filing form FTB 3548. For purposes of the definition of an eligible small business: • Gross receipts are reduced by returns and allowances made during the taxable year. • An employee is considered full-time if employed at least 30 hours per week for 20 or more calendar weeks in the taxable year. • Generally, all members of the same controlled group and all persons under common control are considered to be one person. See IRC Section 44(d)(2)(A). Eligible access expenditures are the amounts the eligible small business pays or incurs to comply with applicable requirements under the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990. Eligible access expenditures include amounts paid or incurred to: 1. Remove architectural, communication, physical, or transportation barriers that prevent a business from being accessible to, or usable by individuals with disabilities, but only in connection with a facility first placed in service before November 6, 1990 (the effective date of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990). 7381233 FTB 3548 2023 Side 1 2. Provide qualified interpreters or other methods of making audio materials available to hearing-impaired individuals. 3. Provide qualified readers, taped texts, and other methods of making visual materials available to individuals with visual impairments. 4. Acquire or modify equipment or devices for individuals with disabilities. 5. Provide other similar services, modifications, materials, or equipment. The expenditures must be reasonable and necessary to accomplish the above purposes. See IRC Section 44(c) for further details. Disability for an individual (as defined by the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990) means: 1. A physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more of the major life activities of that individual. 2. A record of an impairment described in 1 above, or 3. Being regarded as having an impairment described in 1 above. F Limitations The amount of credit generated for any taxable year is limited to $125. This limitation applies at the entity level (for S corporations) as well as to each shareholder. S corporations may claim only 1/3 of the credit (not to exceed $41.67) against the 1.5% entity-level tax (3.5% for financial S corporations), the remaining 2/3 must be disregarded and may not be used as carryover. S corporations can pass through 100% of the credit (not to exceed the $125 limitation) to their shareholders. If a C corporation had unused credit carryovers when it elected S corporation status, the carryovers were reduced to 1/3 and transferred to the S corporation. The remaining 2/3 were disregarded. The allowable carryovers may be used to offset the 1.5% tax on net income in accordance with the respective carryover rules. These C corporation carryovers may not be passed through to shareholders. For more information, get Schedule C (100S), S Corporation Tax Credits. If a taxpayer owns an interest in a disregarded business entity [a single member limited liability company (SMLLC) not recognized by California, and for tax purposes is treated as a sole proprietorship owned by an individual or a branch owned by a corporation], the credit amount received from the disregarded entity that can be utilized is limited to the difference between the taxpayer’s regular tax figured with the income of the disregarded entity, and the taxpayer’s regular tax figured without the income of the disregarded entity. For more information on SMLLC, get form 568, Limited Liability Company Tax Booklet. If the disregarded entity reports a loss, the taxpayer may not claim the credit this year but can carry over the credit amount received from the disregarded entity to succeeding years. This credit cannot reduce the minimum franchise tax (corporations and S corporations), the annual tax (limited partnerships, limited liability partnerships, and LLCs classified as partnerships), the alternative minimum tax (corporations, exempt organizations, individuals, and fiduciaries), the built-in gains tax (S corporations), or the excess net passive income tax (S corporations). This credit cannot reduce regular tax below the tentative minimum tax. Get Schedule P (100, 100W, 540, 540NR, or 541), Alternative Minimum Tax and Credit Limitations, for more information. This credit is taken in lieu of any deduction or credit otherwise allowable for the same eligible access expenditures. Any deduction allowed for these same expenditures must be reduced by the amount of credit claimed and/or assigned to an affiliated corporation for the current taxable year (the amount shown on line 9a and 9b). Taxpayers that claim this credit cannot increase the basis of the property, with respect to the eligible access expenditures paid or incurred in connection with such property, by the amount of credit claimed and/or assigned to an affiliated corporation for the current taxable year (the amount shown on line 9a and line 9b). This credit is not refundable. Page 2 FTB 3548 Instructions 2023 G Assignment of Credits Assigned Credits to Affiliated Corporations – Credit earned by members of a combined reporting group may be assigned to an affiliated corporation that is an eligible member of the same combined reporting group. A credit assigned may only be claimed by the affiliated corporation against its tax liability. For more information, get form FTB 3544, Assignment of Credit, or go to ftb.ca.gov and search for credit assignment. H Carryover If the available credit exceeds the current year tax liability, the unused credit can be carried over to succeeding years until exhausted. Apply the carryover to the earliest taxable year. In no event can this credit be carried back and applied against a prior year’s tax.

Form 3548 is a California Corporate Income Tax form. States often have dozens of even hundreds of various tax credits, which, unlike deductions, provide a dollar-for-dollar reduction of tax liability. Some common tax credits apply to many taxpayers, while others only apply to extremely specific situations. In most cases, you will have to provide evidence to show that you are eligible for the tax credit, and calculate the amount of the credit to which you are entitled.

About the Corporate Income Tax

The IRS and most states require corporations to file an income tax return, with the exact filing requirements depending on the type of company.

Sole proprietorships or disregarded entities like LLCs are filed on Schedule C (or the state equivalent) of the owner's personal income tax return, flow-through entities like S Corporations or Partnerships are generally required to file an informational return equivilent to the IRS Form 1120S or Form 1065, and full corporations must file the equivalent of federal Form 1120 (and, unlike flow-through corporations, are often subject to a corporate tax liability).

Additional forms are available for a wide variety of specific entities and transactions including fiduciaries, nonprofits, and companies involved in other specific types of business.
