The term “undistributed taxable income” means taxable income (as computed under the Income Tax Act of 1929 as amended) minus the sum of (1) the tax imposed on certain capital gains and (2) the amount of money distributed as dividends out of earnings and profits of the taxable year. INSTRUCTIONS Subchapter S of the Federal Internal Revenue code of 1986, as amended, and in effect as of January 1, 2009 has been adopted for Arkansas income tax purposes. A corporation may elect Subchapter S treatment for Arkansas income tax purposes only if it has elected Subchapter S treatment for federal income tax purposes for the same tax year. A copy of the Corporation’s “NOTICE OF ACCEPTANCE AS AN S-CORPORATION” received from the Internal Revenue Service must be submitted to approve the Arkansas Election, Form AR1103. The Arkansas election will be held in suspense until the IRS Notice is received. The election must be filed during the first seventy-five (75) days of the taxable year. It shall be effective for the taxable year for which it is made and for all succeeding taxable years unless it is terminated under provision of the law. This form must be signed either by the president, vice president, treasurer, assistant treasurer, chief accounting officer, or other corporate officer (such as tax officer) who is authorized to sign. At the shareholder’s option on the date of the election, their signatures may be entered on the consent shown in the lower portion of the election Form AR1103 filed by the corporation in place of preparing and attaching the consents described below. Qualifying corporations may elect to be treated as a “Small Business (S) Corporation” for Arkansas income tax purposes. The election may be made only if the corporation meets all seven (7) of the following requirements: (1) (2) (3) (4) (5) (6) (7) IN GENERAL: The consent to the election of the corporation by all shareholders at the date of election (which may be incorporated in one statement) shall be attached to this form unless otherwise shown on the face. In addition to an affirmative statement shall set forth the name and address of the corporation and of the shareholder, the number of shares of stock owned by the shareholder, and the date(s) on which such stock was acquired. The consent must be signed by both the husband and wife if they have a community interest in the stock or the income therefrom, and by each tenant in common, each joint tenant, and each tenant by the entirety. The consent of a minor shall be made by the minor or by his legal guardian, or his natural guardian if no legal guardian has been appointed (even if the case of stock held by a custodian for a minor under a statute patterned after the Uniform Gifts to Minors Act). The consent of an estate shall be made by the executor or administrator thereof. If the election is made before the first day of the corporation’s taxable year, the consent of persons who became shareholders after the date of the election and on or before such first day shall be filed as soon as practicable after such first day but in no event later than the last day prescribed for filing the election and a copy shall also be filed with the corporation income tax return. It is treated as a Small Business Corporation with the Federal Government. It has no more than one hundred (100) shareholders. However, if stock is held by a husband and wife as joint tenants by the entirety, or tenants in common or is community property for the income from which is community income, it shall be treated as owned by one shareholder. It has only individuals or estates as shareholders. It has no shareholder who is a nonresident alien stockholder. It has only one class of stock. S Corporations are permitted to hold C & S Corporate Subsidiaries. It is a corporation organized under the laws of the United States or a state or territory or it is a similar association taxed as a corporation. If the corporation is the parent of one or more Qualified Subchapter S Subsidiaries (QSSS), the election must be accompanied by Federal Form 8869 for each subsidiary that will be filing with the corporation. TO BE RECOGNIZED AS AN ARKANSAS S-CORPORATION The annual Income Tax Return of a small business corporation is to be submitted on Arkansas Form AR1100S, and filed with The Department of Finance and Administration, Corporation Income Tax Section, P.O. Box 919, Little Rock AR 72203-0919. The following must be met: 1. The business must be registered with the Arkansas Secretary of State. (501) 682-1010 2.

Form AR1103 is an Arkansas Corporate Income Tax form. While most taxpayers have income taxes automatically withheld every pay period by their employer, taxpayers who earn money that is not subject to withholding (such as self employed income, investment returns, etc) are often required to make estimated tax payments on a quarterly basis. Failure to make correct estimated payments can result in interest or penalties.

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.
