However, there are continuing differences between California and federal law. When California conforms to federal tax law changes, we do not always adopt all of the changes made at the federal level. For more information, go to ftb.ca.gov and search for conformity. Additional information can be found in FTB Pub. 1001, Supplemental Guidelines to California Adjustments, the instructions for California Schedule CA (540 or 540NR), and the Business Entity tax booklets. 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 California Revenue and Taxation Code (R&TC) in the instructions. Taxpayers should not consider the instructions as authoritative law. Targeted Tax Area (TTA) Credits Carryover Period The portion of any TTA sales or use tax credit or hiring credit remaining for carryover to taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2014, shall be carried over only to the succeeding 10 taxable years if necessary, or until the credit is exhausted, whichever occurs first. Any hiring credits generated for employees hired on or before December 31, 2012, may be carried over to the succeeding 10 taxable years. Page 2  FTB 3809 Booklet  2018 Repeal of Geographically Targeted Economic Development Area Tax Incentives The California legislature repealed and made changes to all of the Geographically Targeted Economic Development Area (G-TEDA) Tax Incentives. Enterprise Zones (EZ) and Local Agency Military Base Recovery Areas (LAMBRA) were repealed on January 1, 2014. The Targeted Tax Areas (TTA) and Manufacturing Enhancement Areas (MEA) both expired on December 31, 2012. For more information, go to ftb.ca.gov and search for repeal tax incentives. Single-Sales Factor Formula R&TC Section 25128.7 requires all business income of an apportioning trade or business, other than an apportioning trade or business under R&TC Section 25128(b), to apportion its business income to California using the singlesales factor formula. For more information, get Schedule R, Apportionment and Allocation of Income, or go to ftb.ca.gov and search for single sales factor. However, business income apportioned to the TTA continues to be based on the property and payroll factors. Expired Targeted Tax Area The TTA has expired as of December 31, 2012. Generally, no further TTA incentives can be generated after the expiration date. See below for a discussion on how each incentive expired: • TTA Hiring Credit - Taxpayers can no longer generate/incur TTA hiring credits for employees hired on or after January 1, 2013. Taxpayers can claim the hiring credit carryover from prior years. • TTA Sales or Use Tax Credit - For taxpayers engaged in a trade or business in an expired TTA, the sales or use tax credit is not available for assets purchased and/or placed in service on or after January 1, 2013. Taxpayers can claim the sales or use tax credit carryover from prior years. • TTA NOL Carryover Deduction – Taxpayers can no longer generate/incur any TTA NOL for taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2013. Taxpayers can claim an NOL carryover deduction from prior years. Assignment of Credit 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, see instructions for Schedule Z, Computation of Credit Carryover Limitations, on page 10, Assignment of Credit, or get form FTB 3544, Election to Assign Credit Within Combined Reporting Group, or form FTB 3544A, List of Assigned Credit Received and/or Claimed by Assignee or go to ftb.ca.gov and search for credit assignment. Important: Affiliated corporations that received credits assigned under R&TC Section 23663, do not include the assigned credits received on this worksheet. Those credits are entered and tracked on form FTB 3544A. Pass-Through Entities For purposes of this booklet, the term “pass‑through entity” refers to an S corporation, estate, trust, partnership and a limited liability company (LLC). References to “partnerships” include LLCs classified as partnerships. Introduction Economic Development Area (EDA) Tax Incentives California established four types of EDAs that have related tax incentives. These incentives were established to stimulate growth and development in selected areas that were economically depressed. EDA tax incentives applied only to certain business transactions that were undertaken after an EDA had received final designation from the California Department of Housing & Community Development (HCD). Final designation was when the HCD designated an area to be an EDA. Tax incentives were available to individuals and businesses operating or investing within the geographic boundaries of the following EDAs: • Enterprise Zones (repealed on January 1, 2014) • Local Agency Military Base Recovery Areas (repealed on January 1, 2014) • Manufacturing Enhancement Areas (designation expired on December 31, 2012) • Targeted Tax Areas (designation expired on December 31, 2012) Additional information on other EDAs can be found in the following FTB tax booklets: • EZ tax incentives, get FTB 3805Z, Enterprise Zone Business Booklet. • LAMBRA tax incentives, get FTB 3807, Local Agency Military Base Recovery Area Business Booklet. • MEA hiring credit, get FTB 3808, Manufacturing Enhancement Area Business Booklet. References in this booklet to the "TTA" are interpreted as "the boundaries of the former TTA as it existed on December 31, 2012." Reporting Requirement California statutes require the Franchise Tax Board (FTB) to provide information to the California Legislature regarding the number of businesses using the EDA tax incentives, types of EDA tax incentives being used, and the EDAs in which the businesses are claiming the tax incentives. Complete items A through H on Side 1 of form FTB 3809, Targeted Tax Area Deduction and Credit Summary, as applicable. This information will be used to meet the FTB’s statutory reporting requirement. Purpose This booklet provides specific information on the types of available former TTA tax incentives. Taxpayers operating or investing in a business located within a designated former TTA may be eligible for the following credit carryover and carryover deduction: • Hiring credit carryover • Sales or use tax credit carryover • NOL carryover deduction Use this booklet to determine the correct amount of credit carryovers and deductions that a business may claim for operating or investing in a business located within a designated former TTA. Complete the worksheets in this booklet for each credit carryover or deduction for which the business is eligible. Then enter the total credits and deductions on form FTB 3809. Former Targeted Tax Area Designation California established the TTA program to stimulate development in a selected economically depressed area of Tulare County. The program offered special tax incentives to entities and individuals located in the Tulare TTA and engaged in a trade or business within the selected Standard Industrial Codes listed on pages 15 through 17 of this booklet. All of the incorporated cities in Tulare County and portions of the unincorporated areas of Tulare County received final designation as the TTA effective November 1, 1998. The designation was binding for 15 years, commencing from January 1, 1998. Note: The TTA designation expired on December 31, 2012. The incorporated cities in Tulare County are: •  Cutler-Orosi •  Pixley •  Dinuba •  Porterville •  Earliment •  Traver •  Exeter •  Tulare •  Farmersville •  Visalia •  Goshen •  Woodlake •  Lindsay For business eligibility or zone related information, including questions regarding the former TTA geographic boundaries, contact the HCD or the local zone program manager where the business is located. Go to hcd.ca.gov and search for directory of zone contacts to find Directory of Economic Development Areas. For information that is zone-specific, but not tax-specific, you may contact the HCD. See page 22 for the HCD contact information. Who Can Claim the Former TTA Tax Incentives?

Generally, no further TTA incentives can be generated after the expiration date. Taxpayers can no longer generate/incur TTA hiring credits for employees hired on or after January 1, 2013. Although qualified taxpayers can no longer generate/incur TTA hiring credits for qualified employees hired prior to the TTA expiration date for wages paid or incurred within the 60-month period of the TTA hiring credit, they can claim the hiring credit carryover from prior years. Credit Limitations The amount of hiring credit carryover claimed may not exceed the amount of tax on TTA business income in any year. Use Schedule Z on Side 2 of form FTB 3809 to compute the credit limitation. The portion of any TTA hiring credit remaining for carryover to taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2014, shall be carried over only to the succeeding 10 taxable years if necessary, or until the credit is exhausted, whichever occurs first. Page 4  FTB 3809 Booklet  2018 Record Keeping Retain a copy of VoucherCert 10-07 and the documentation given to the vouchering agency. In addition, for each qualified employee, keep a schedule of the first 60 months of employment showing (at least) the following: • Employee’s name. • Date the employee was hired. • Number of hours the employee worked for each month of employment. • Smaller of the hourly rate of pay for each month of employment or 150% of the minimum wage. • Location of the employee’s job site and duties performed. • Records of any other federal or state subsidies received for hiring the qualified employee. • Total qualified wages per month for each month of employment. Line 1b – Sales or Use Tax Credit Carryover The TTA has expired as of December 31, 2012. Generally, no further TTA incentives can be generated after the expiration date. For taxpayers engaged in a trade or business in an expired TTA, the sales or use tax credit may only be generated for qualified property purchased on or before December 31, 2012, and placed in service on or before December 31, 2012. The sales or use tax credit is not available for assets purchased and/or placed in service on or after January 1, 2013. You may claim a credit carryover for the sales or use tax paid or incurred on qualified property under R&TC Sections 17053.33 and 23633, only if a carryover is available from taxable years 1998 through 2012. Credit Limitations • The amount of sales or use tax credit carryover claimed may not exceed the amount of tax on the TTA business income in any year. • The portion of any TTA sales or use tax credit remaining for carryover to taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2014, shall be carried over only to the succeeding 10 taxable years if necessary, or until the credit is exhausted, whichever occurs first. Part II – Portion of Business Attributable to the Targeted Tax Area TTA tax credits are limited to the tax on business income attributable to operations within the former TTA. TTA deductions are limited to business income attributable to operations within the former TTA. If the business is located within and outside the former TTA, determine the portion of total business operations that are attributable to the former TTA. Each taxpayer must complete one form FTB 3809 for each zone, and therefore, must also compute the income limitation for each zone. Business Income vs. Nonbusiness Income Only business income is apportioned to the TTA to determine the incentive limitation. Business income is defined as income arising from transactions and activities in the regular course of the trade or business. Business income includes income from tangible and intangible property if the acquisition, management, and disposition of the property constitute integral parts of the regular trade or business operations. Nonbusiness income is all income other than business income. See Cal. Code Regs., tit. 18 section 25120 for further references and examples of nonbusiness income. For corporations and entities doing business in and outside of the former TTA, use Worksheet I, Section A, to determine the TTA apportionment factor to determine the amount of business income attributable to the former Targeted Tax Area. Pass-through entities must report to their shareholders, beneficiaries, partners, and members the following items: 1. The distributive (or pro-rata for S corporations) share of the business income apportioned to the former TTA. 2. The distributive (or pro-rata for S corporations) share of the business capital gains and losses apportioned to the former TTA included in item 1. 3. The distributive (or pro-rata for S Corporation) share of the TTA property and payroll to corporate partners, members, shareholders, beneficiaries. Report these items as other information on Schedule K-1 (100S, 541, 565, or 568.) For an individual, use Worksheet I, Section B to determine business income attributable to the former TTA. Business income includes, but is not limited to, California business income or loss from federal Form 1040, Schedules C,D,E,F, and California Schedule D-1, Sales of Business Property, (or federal Form 4797, Sales of Business Property, if California Schedule D-1 is not needed), as well as wages. Be sure to include casualty losses, disaster losses, and any business deductions reported on federal Form 1040 Schedule A as itemized deductions. Generally, all income which arises from the conduct of trade or business operations of a taxpayer is business income. If you elected to claim part or all of your current year disaster loss under IRC Section 165(i)(1) on prior year's tax return, do not include the amount of the loss that was claimed in your current year business income from the TTA. Apportionment Business income is apportioned to the former TTA by multiplying the total California business income of the taxpayer by a fraction. The numerator which is the property factor plus the payroll factor, and the denominator which is two. Loss is apportioned to the TTA by multiplying the taxpayer’s total overall business loss by a fraction. If a taxpayer conducts businesses in more than one TTA, the TTA apportionment factor and credit limitations are computed separately for each TTA. Property Factor Property factor is defined as the average value of all real and tangible personal property owned or rented by the taxpayer and used during the taxable year to produce business income. Property owned by the business is valued at its original cost. Original cost is the basis of the property for federal income tax purposes (prior to any federal adjustment) at the time of acquisition by the business, adjusted for subsequent capital additions or improvements and partial dispositions because of sale or exchange. Allowance for depreciation is not considered. Rented property is valued at eight times the net annual rental rate. The net annual rental rate for any item of rented property is the total rent paid for the property, less total annual subrental rates paid by subtenants. Payroll Factor Payroll is defined as the total amount paid to the business’ employees as compensation for the production of business income during the taxable year. Compensation means wages, salaries, commissions, and any other form of remuneration paid directly to employees for personal services. Payments made to independent contractors or any other person not properly classified as an employee are excluded. Compensation Within the Former TTA Compensation is considered to be within the former TTA if any one of the following tests is met: 1. The employee’s services are performed within the geographical boundaries of the former TTA. 2. The employee’s services are performed within and outside the former TTA, but the services performed outside the former TTA are incidental to the employee’s service within the former TTA. Incidental means any temporary or transitory service performed in connection with an isolated transaction. 3. If the employee’s services are performed within and outside the former TTA, the employee’s compensation is attributed to the former TTA if any one of the following items is met: A. The employee’s base of operations is within the former TTA. B. There is no base of operations in any other part of the state in which some part of the service is performed, and the place from which the service is directed or controlled is within the former TTA. C. The base of operations or the place from which the service is directed or controlled is not in any other part of the state in which some part of the service is performed and the employee’s residence is within the former TTA. Base of operations is the permanent place from which employees start work and customarily return in order to receive instruction from the taxpayer or communications from their customers or persons; to replenish stock or other material; to repair equipment; or to perform any other functions necessary in the exercise of their trade or profession at some other point or points. Corporations Filing a Combined Report When determining the income attributable to the former TTA, the business income of each corporation doing business in the former TTA is the business income apportioned to California as determined under combined report mechanics. Get FTB Pub. 1061 for further information on combined reports and entity income apportionment. Each corporation computes the income attributable to the former TTA by multiplying California business by TTA apportionment factor computed in Worksheet I, Section A. The former TTA property and payroll factors used in the determination of TTA income includes only the taxpayer’s California amounts in the denominator. Example: Computation of former TTA income assigned to each entity operating within the former TTA Parent Corporation A has two subsidiaries, B and C. Corporations A and B operate within the former TTA. The combined reporting group operates within and outside California and apportions its income to California using Schedule R. Assume the combined reporting group’s business income apportioned to California was $1,000,000 and Corporation A and B’s share of business income assigned to California is $228,000 and $250,000 respectively. Corporation A and B’s separate former TTA and separate California property and payroll factor amounts are shown. Business income apportioned to the TTA is determined as follows: A B Property Factor TTA Property $1,000,000 $  800,000 California Property $1,000,000 $1,200,000   Apportionment % 100% 66.66% Payroll Factor TTA Payroll $  800,000 $   800,000 California Payroll $  800,000 $1,000,000   Apportionment % 100% 80% Average Apport. % 100% 73.33% (Property + Payroll Factors)      2 Apportioned Business Income $  228,000 $  250,000 TTA Business Income $  228,000 $  183,325 FTB 3809 Booklet  2018  Page 5 Instructions for Worksheet I – Income or Loss Apportionment Section A – Income Apportionment If the business operates solely within the former TTA and all its property and payroll are solely within the former TTA, enter 100% (1.00) on Section A, line 4, column (c). Do not complete the rest of Worksheet I. Use Worksheet I, Section A, Income Apportionment, to determine the amount of business income apportioned to the former TTA. The apportioned TTA business income determines the amount of the tax incentives that can be used. A taxpayer’s TTA business income is its California business income multiplied by the specific TTA apportionment percentage computed in Worksheet I, Section A. Property Factor When determining the income apportioned to the former TTA, the numerator of the property factor is the average value of the real and tangible personal property owned or rented by the business and used within the former TTA during the taxable year to produce TTA business income, see Worksheet I, Section A, column (b). The denominator of the property factor is the total average value of all the taxpayer’s real and tangible personal property owned or rented and used during the taxable year within California. See Worksheet I, Section A, column (a). Payroll Factor When determining income apportioned to the former TTA, the numerator of the payroll factor is the taxpayer’s total compensation paid to the employees for working within the former TTA during the taxable year, see Worksheet I, Section A, column (b). The denominator of the payroll factor is the taxpayer’s total compensation paid to employees working in California. See Worksheet I, Section A, column (a). Section B – Income or Loss Apportionment Taxpayers filing Form 540 and Long Form 540NR filers, use Worksheet I, Section B to determine the amount to enter on the following: • Worksheet II, line 1 and line 6 • Schedule Z, Part I, line 1 and line 3 Do not include disaster losses in any amounts used in the table. Only California source business income is apportioned to the former TTA. A taxpayer’s TTA business income is its California apportioned business income computed using Schedule R, multiplied by the specific TTA apportionment percentage computed using Worksheet I, Section A. Page 6  FTB 3809 Booklet  2018 The first step is to determine which portion of the taxpayer’s net income is “business income” and which portion is “nonbusiness income,” since only business income is apportioned to the former TTA. See Part II, Portion of Business Attributable to the Targeted Tax Area, for a complete discussion of business and nonbusiness income. Business income or loss reported on federal Form 1040 Schedules C, C-EZ, E, F, and other schedules are reported on line 6 through line 9. Line 11 and line 12 report business gains or losses reported on California Schedule D, California Capital Gain or Loss Adjustment, and Schedule D-1 (or federal Form 4797, if California Schedule D-1 is not needed). All business income and losses should be adjusted for any differences between California and federal amounts as shown on the Schedule CA. Part I – Individual Income and Expense Items Wages For taxpayers with wages from a company located within and outside the former TTA, determine the TTA wage income by entering the percentage of the time that they worked within the former TTA in column (b). The percentage of time should be for the same period for which the wages entered on line 1 were earned. Determine this percentage based on their record of time and events such as a travel log or entries in a daily planner. Part II – Pass-Through Income or Loss Individuals with a K-1 The individual partner, member, or shareholder completes Worksheet I, Section B, Part II, Pass-Through Income or Loss, and Schedule Z, Computation of Credit Carryover Limitations. Multiple Pass-Through Entities If you are a shareholder, beneficiary, partner, or member in multiple pass-through entities with businesses located within and outside the former TTA from which you received TTA tax incentives, see the example below for computing business income in the former TTA. Example: Trade or business income from Schedule K-1 Pass-through (100S, 541, entity 565, or 568) ABC, Inc.   $40,000 A, B, & C    30,000 ABC, LLC    10,000 Total Entity’s TTA TTA apportionment apportioned percentage income     80%   $32,000     10%     3,000     50%     5,000   $40,000 Part III – Taxpayer’s Trade or Business Business Income or Loss Use business income or loss from federal Form 1040 Schedules C, C-EZ, E, and F, plus California adjustments from Schedule CA (540 or 540NR) for each trade or business. Also, include business capital gains and losses from Schedule D and business gains and losses from Schedule D-1 as adjusted on Schedule CA (540 or 540NR). Income Computation Located Entirely Within the Former TTA Line 6 – Line 9 If your business operation reported on federal Form 1040 Schedule C, C-EZ, E, F, or other schedule is entirely within the former TTA, enter the income or loss from this activity in column (a), and enter 1.00 in column (b). Line 11 and Line 12 If the gain or loss reported on Schedule D or Schedule D-1 as adjusted on Schedule CA (540 or 540NR) was attributed to an asset used in an activity conducted entirely within the former TTA, enter the gain or loss reported in column (a), and enter 1.00 in column (b). Located Entirely Within California Line 6 – Line 9 If your business operation reported on federal Form 1040 Schedule C, C-EZ, E, F, or other schedule is entirely within California, enter the income or loss from this activity in column (a). To determine the apportionment percentage in column (b), complete Worksheet I, Section A. Enter the percentage from Worksheet I, Section A, line 4, column (c) on Worksheet I, Section B, column (b). Line 11 and Line 12 If the gain or loss reported on Schedule D or Schedule D-1 as adjusted on Schedule CA (540 or 540NR) was attributed to an asset used in an activity conducted entirely within California, enter the gain or loss reported in column (a). To determine the apportionment percentage figure in column (b), complete Worksheet I, Section A. Enter the percentage from Worksheet I, Section A, line 4, column (c) on Worksheet I, Section B, column (b). Located Within and Outside the Former TTA and California Line 6 – Line 9 If your business operation reported on federal Form 1040 Schedule C, C-EZ, E, F, or other schedule is within and outside the former TTA and California, get California Schedule R and complete line 1 through line 18b and line 28 through line 31. Enter the amount from Schedule R, line 18b and line 31 in column (a) of this worksheet. To determine the apportionment percentage in column (b), complete Worksheet I, Section A. Enter the percentage from Worksheet I, Section A, line 4, column (c) on Worksheet I, Section B, column (b). When computing Schedule R, disregard any reference to Forms 100, 100S, 100W, 565, or 568. Also, disregard any reference to Schedules R‑3, R-4, or R-5. Nonresidents that have an apportioning business that operates within the former TTA should have already computed Schedule R, and can use those amounts when that schedule is referenced. Residents complete a Schedule R in order to determine their California source business income. Line 11 and Line 12 If the gain or loss reported on Schedule D or Schedule D-1 as adjusted on Schedule CA (540 or 540NR) was attributed to an asset used in an activity conducted within and outside the former TTA and California, get Schedule R and complete Schedule R-1. Multiply the gain or loss reported by the percentage on Schedule R-1, Part A, line 2 or Part B, line 5 and enter the result in column (a). To determine the apportionment percentage in column (b), complete Worksheet I, Section A. Enter the percentage from Worksheet I, Section A, line 4, column (c) on Worksheet I, Section B, column (b). Line 14 If you are computing the TTA business income and the result on Worksheet I, Section B, line 14, column (c) is a positive amount and: • You have TTA NOL carryovers, enter the amount on Worksheet II, line 1 and line 6 (skip line 2 through line 5). • You have TTA credit ­carryovers, enter the amount on Schedule Z, Part I, line 1 and line 3 (skip line 2). If the amount is negative, you do not have any business income attributable to the TTA and you cannot utilize any TTA NOL carryover or credit carryover(s) in the current taxable year. Part III – Net Operating Loss (NOL) Carryover and Deduction The TTA expired as of December 31, 2012. Generally, no further TTA incentives can be generated after the expiration date. For taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2013, taxpayers can no longer generate any TTA NOL. However, taxpayers can claim an NOL carryover deduction from prior years. For NOLs incurred in taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2008, California has extended the NOL carryover period to 20 taxable years following the year of the loss. For taxable years beginning in 2002 and 2003, California had suspended the NOL carryover deduction. Taxpayers continued to carryover an NOL during the suspension period. The carryover period for suspended losses was extended by two years for losses incurred before January 1, 2002, and by one year for losses incurred on or after January 1, 2002, and before January 1, 2003. The deduction for disaster losses was not affected by the NOL suspension rules. See instructions for Worksheet II, on page 9 for more information on the suspension of the NOL carryover deduction for taxable years beginning in 2008 through 2011.  Worksheet I  Income or Loss Apportionment – Targeted Tax Area Section A  Income Apportionment Use Worksheet I, Section A, if your business has net income from sources within and outside the former TTA.

The business cannot generate NOLs from activities within the former TTA before the first taxable year beginning on or after the date the TTA was officially designated. Limitation A TTA NOL carryover deduction can only offset business income attributable to operations within the former TTA. Election If you elected and designated the carryover category (general or specific, EZ, LAMBRA, or TTA NOL) on the original tax return for the year of a loss, file form FTB 3809 for each year in which a TTA NOL deduction is being taken. The election is irrevocable. If you elected the TTA NOL deduction, you are prohibited by law from carrying over any other type of NOL (relating to TTA activities) from this year. Page 8  FTB 3809 Booklet  2018 Alternative Minimum Tax Taxpayers claiming a TTA NOL carryover deduction determine their NOL for alternative minimum tax purposes. Use Schedule P (100, 100W, 540, 540NR, or 541) to compute the NOL for alternative minimum tax purposes. S Corporations TTA NOLs incurred prior to becoming an S corporation cannot be used against S corporation income. See IRC Section 1371(b). However, an S corporation is allowed to deduct a TTA NOL incurred after the “S” election is made. An S corporation may use the NOL carryover as a deduction against income subject to the 1.5% entity-level tax (3.5% for financial S corporations). The expenses (and income) giving rise to the loss are also passed through to the shareholders in the year the loss is incurred. Combined Report Corporations that are members of a unitary group filing a combined report separately compute loss carryover for each corporation in the group (R&TC Section 25108) using individual apportionment factors. Unlike the NOL treatment on a federal consolidated tax return, a loss carryover for one member included in a combined report may not be applied to the intrastate apportioned income of another member included in a combined report. Water’s-Edge Taxpayer For any water’s-edge taxpayer, R&TC Section 24416(c) imposes a limitation on the NOL deduction, if the NOL is generated during a non-water’s edge tax year. The NOL carryover is limited to the lesser of the NOL or the re-computed NOL. The re-computed NOL carryover is determined by computing the income and factors of the original worldwide combined reporting group, as if the water’s‑edge election had been in force for the year of the loss. R&TC Section 24416(c) serves as a limitation. If this section applies, the NOL carryover for each corporation may only be decreased, but not increased. Instructions for Worksheet II – Computation of NOL Carryover and Carryover Limitations Individuals, exempt trusts, and corporations with current year income and a prior year TTA NOL carryover complete Worksheet II. For taxable years beginning in 2010 and 2011, California suspended the NOL carryover deduction. Taxpayers continued to compute and carryover NOLs during the suspension period. However, taxpayers with net income after state adjustments (pre-apportioned income) (corporations) or with modified adjusted gross income (individuals) of less than $300,000, or with disaster loss carryovers are not affected by the NOL suspension rules. Corporations use line 17 of Forms 100 and 100W, or line 14 less line 16 of Form 100S to determine net income after state adjustments (pre-apportioned income). Individuals use the amount shown on your federal tax return for the same taxable year without regard to the federal NOL deduction (Form 540/540NR, line 13, plus the federal NOL deduction listed on Schedule CA (540), Part I, line 21c, column C or Schedule CA (540NR), Part II, line 21c, column C. The carryover periods for any NOL or NOL carryover, for which a deduction is disallowed because of the 2008 - 2011 suspension, are extended by: • One year for losses incurred in taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2010, and before January 1, 2011. • Two years for losses incurred in taxable years beginning before January 1, 2010. • Three years for losses incurred in taxable years beginning before January 1, 2009. • Four years for losses incurred in taxable years beginning before January 1, 2008. The TTA NOL carryover deduction is used to reduce current year income from the TTA. Use this worksheet to compute the TTA NOL carryover deduction for corporations, individuals, and exempt trusts. Line 1 – See Part II on page 4 for a discussion of business and nonbusiness income. Form 540 and Form 540NR filers: Be sure to include casualty losses, disaster losses, and any business deductions reported on federal Form 1040, Schedule A, as itemized deductions. Exception: If you elected to carry back part or all of your current year disaster loss, under IRC Section 165(i)(1), do not include the amount of the loss that was carried back in the current year business income for the TTA. Line 2 – In modifying your income, deduct the capital losses only up to the amount of capital gains. Enter any net capital losses included in line 1 as a positive number. Line 3 – Corporations reduce income by the disaster loss deduction and the deduction for excess net passive income. Line 6 – This is your modified taxable income (MTI). Reduce the MTI amount by your TTA NOL carryover deduction. The TTA NOL carryover deduction may not be larger than your MTI. If your MTI is a loss in the current year or if it limits the amount of NOL you may use this year, carry over the NOL to future years. Line 7 – Enter the amount from line 6. If this amount is zero or negative, transfer the amount(s) from line 8 through line 22, column (b) to column (e). Go to line 23. Line 8 through Line 22 – Enter the amounts on line 8 through line 22 as positive numbers. In column (c), enter the smaller of the amount in column (b) or the amount in column (d) from the previous line. In column (d), enter the result of subtracting column (c) from the balance on the previous line in column (d). In column (e), enter the result of subtracting the amount in column (c) from the amount in column (b), as applicable. Example: (b) Carryover from prior year $ 500 (c) (d) (e) Amount Balance TTA NOL deducted available to carryover this year offset losses $5,000 $ 500 4,500 $ 0 Line 23 – Total the amounts in columns (b), (c), and (e). Enter the totals from column (b) and column (e) on form FTB 3809, Side 1, line 3a and line 3c, accordingly. Your TTA NOL carryover deduction for 2018 is the total of column (c). Enter this amount on your California tax return or schedule as follows: • Form 100, line 20 • Form 100S, line 18 • Form 100W, line 20 • Form 109, line 6 • Schedule CA (540), Part I, line 21e, column B • Schedule CA (540NR), Part II, line 21e, column B Schedule Z – Computation of Credit Carryover Limitations Credit Carryover Limitations The amount of credit carryover you can claim on your California tax return is limited by the amount of tax attributable to TTA business income. The amount of tax attributable to the TTA business income is computed in this schedule. For corporations and other entities doing business in the targeted tax area, the TTA business income is computed in this schedule using the TTA apportionment factor formula computed on Worksheet I, Section A. For individuals, the TTA business income is computed on Worksheet I, Section B. Assignment of Credit For taxable years beginning on or after July 1, 2008, 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 in taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2010. The eligible assignee shall be treated as if it originally generated the assigned credit. Any credit requirements, limitations or restrictions that applied to the assignor will also apply to the eligible assignee. The amount of TTA credit carryovers you may claim on your California tax return is limited to the tax attributable to a specific former TTA. For zone credits assigned, the assignee must have a tax liability as a result of income generated in the same zone that the original credit was generated. For example, if the original credit was generated in the former Tulare TTA of the assignor, the assignee must have a tax liability on the income attributable to the former Tulare TTA in order to use the assigned credit. For more information, get form FTB 3544, or form FTB 3544A or go to ftb.ca.gov and search for credit assignment. Other Limitations If a taxpayer owns an interest in a disregarded business entity, the amount of the credit carryover that can be utilized is limited to the difference between the taxpayer’s regular tax computed with the income of the disregarded entity, and the taxpayer’s regular tax computed without the income of the disregarded entity. Partnerships allocate the credit among the partners according to the partner’s distributive share as determined in a written partnership agreement. See R&TC Section 17039(e)(2). FTB 3809 Booklet  2018  Page 9 Credit carryovers you are otherwise eligible to claim may be limited. Do not apply credits against the minimum franchise tax (corporations and S corporations), annual tax (partnerships and QSub), alternative minimum tax (corporations, exempt organizations, individuals, and fiduciaries), built-in gains tax (S corporations), or excess net passive income tax (S corporations). Refer to the credit instructions in your tax booklet for more information. S Corporations and the Application of TTA Credits An S corporation may use its TTA credit carryovers to reduce TTA tax at both the corporate and shareholder levels. Carryover If the amount of credit carryover available this year exceeds your TTA tax, you may carry over any excess credit to future years. For taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2014, the carryover period is 10 years if necessary, or until the credit is exhausted, whichever occurs first. Apply the carryover to the earliest taxable year(s) possible. In no event can the credit be carried back and applied against a prior year’s tax. 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. Credit Code Use credit code 210 to claim the TTA hiring credit and sales or use tax credit carryover on your tax return. Using an incorrect code may cause a delay in allowing the credit(s). Instructions for Schedule Z – Computation of Credit Carryover Limitations Reporting Requirements of S Corporations, Estates, Trusts, and Partnerships • Partnerships and LLC’s treated as partnerships do not complete Schedule Z. The partners and members of these types of entities should compute their TTA income from all sources by completing the Schedule Z to determine the amount of TTA credit carryover that they may claim on their California tax return. For individual partners, report the distributive share of all the business income apportioned to the former TTA. For corporate partners, report the distributive share of the former TTA property and payroll. Report these items as other information on Schedule K-1 (565). • S corporations and their shareholders complete Schedule Z. Page 10  FTB 3809 Booklet  2018 • Report to shareholders, beneficiaries, partners, and members, the distributive or pro-rata share of business income, losses, and deductions apportioned to the former TTA; and • Separately state any distributive or pro-rata share of business capital gains and losses apportioned to the former TTA included in the amount above. S Corporations Complete only Part I and Part III of Schedule Z if your entity-level tax before credits is more than the minimum franchise tax. Corporations and S Corporations subject to the minimum franchise tax only Complete only Part IV of Schedule Z. All others: Complete Part I and Part II of Schedule Z. Part I  – Computation of Credit Limitations For filers with NOL carryovers. • Complete Worksheet II first if you have an NOL carryover. • Then complete Schedule Z if you have any TTA credits. If you do not have any NOL carryovers: • Individuals: Go to Worksheet I, Section B. Follow the instructions there. Enter the amount from Worksheet I, Section B, line 14, column (c) on Schedule Z, Part I, line 1 and line 3 (skip line 2). • Corporations: Follow the instructions for line 1 below. Only business income is apportioned to the TTA to determine the incentive limitation. Business income is defined as income arising from transactions and activities in the regular course of the trade or business. Business income includes income from tangible and intangible property if the acquisition, management, and disposition of the property constitute integral parts of the regular trade or business operations. Nonbusiness income is all income other than business income. For corporations filing a combined report, the business income of each corporation doing business in the former TTA is the business income apportioned to California as determined under combined report mechanics. Get FTB Pub 1061 for more information on combined reports and entity income apportionment. Line 1 – Enter all trade or business income. See form FTB 3809, Part II instructions for the definition of business income. Line 2 – If your business is located entirely within the TTA, enter 1. This percentage is the apportionment percentage computed by the entity using Worksheet I Section A, and represents the percentage of the entity’s business income attributable to the TTA. Line 6a – Compute the tax as if the TTA taxable income represented all of your taxable income. Individuals Use the tax table or tax rate schedule in your tax booklet for your filing status. Exempt Organizations Use the applicable tax rate in your tax booklet. Corporations and S Corporations Use the applicable tax rate. If the amount on line 6a is the minimum franchise tax ($800), you cannot use your TTA credits this year. Complete Part IV of Schedule Z to compute the amount of credit carryover. Example: Determination of TTA Income for Shareholders, Partners, or Members of Pass‑Through Entities John Anderson is vice president of ABC, Inc., an S corporation that has two locations: one within the TTA and one outside the TTA. Eighty percent (80%) of the S corporation’s business is attributable to the TTA. This percentage was determined by ABC, Inc. using Worksheet I, Section A, when ABC’s S corporation tax return (Form 100S) was prepared. John divides his time equally (50/50) between the two offices of ABC, Inc. Jackie Anderson (John’s spouse/RDP) works for ABC, Inc. at its office located within the TTA. John and Jackie Anderson have the following items of California income and expense for the 2017 taxable year: John’s salary from ABC, Inc. . . . . . . . $100,000  Jackie’s salary from ABC, Inc. . . . . . . . . 75,000  Interest on savings account . . . . . . . . . . . 1,000  Dividends . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 3,000  Schedule K-1 (100S) from ABC, Inc.:   Ordinary income . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 40,000  John’s unreimbursed employee   expenses from federal Schedule A . . . .

John and Jackie must compute the tax (to be entered on Schedule Z, Part I, line 6a) on the total TTA income of $156,000 (as if it represents all of their income). Line 6b – Corporations and S corporations: If the amount on line 6b is the minimum franchise tax ($800), you cannot use your TTA credits this year. Complete Part IV of Schedule Z to compute the amount of credit carryover. Part II  – Limitations of Credits for Corporations, Individuals, Estates, and Trusts Use Part II of Schedule Z if you are a corporation, individual, estate, or trust.

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.
