The total of all business credits including the carryover of any business credit for the taxable year may not reduce the “net tax”, for personal income tax filers, or the “tax”, for corporate filers, by more than $5,000,000. For taxpayers included in a combined report, the limitation is applied at the group level. The business credits disallowed due to the limitation may be carried over. The carryover period for disallowed credits is extended by the number of taxable years the credit was not allowed. This limitation does not apply to all credits, get Schedule P (100, 100W, 540, 540NR, or 541), Alternative Minimum Tax and Credit Limitations, and Form 100S, S Corporation Tax Booklet for more information. For taxable years beginning on and after January 1, 2017, and before January 1, 2023, the College Access Tax Credit (CATC) is available to entities awarded the credit from the California Educational Facilities Authority (CEFA). The credit is 50% of the amount contributed by the taxpayer for the taxable year to the CATC Fund. The total amount that the CEFA can allocate for the CATC each year is $500 million. The amount of the credit is allocated and certified by the CEFA. For more information, go to the CEFA website at treasurer.ca.gov and search for catc. A Purpose Use form FTB 3592, College Access Tax Credit, to report the credit amount earned and claimed for the current year and the amount to carryover to future years. Also, use this form to claim pass-through credits received from S corporations, estates, trusts, partnerships, or limited liability companies (LLCs) classified as partnerships. S corporations, estates, trusts, partnerships, and LLCs classified as partnerships should complete form FTB 3592 to figure the amount of credit to pass through to shareholders, beneficiaries, partners, or members. Attach this form to Form 100S, California S Corporation Franchise or Income Tax Return; Form 541, California Fiduciary Income Tax Return; Form 565, Partnership Return of Income; or Form 568, Limited Liability Company Return of Income.

C Description Qualifications Any business can apply for the CATC. The credit application is available statewide to all industries. To claim the CATC, you must have made a contribution to the CATC Fund administered by the CEFA. You must have received a certificate from the CEFA documenting the amount of the contribution and the credit amount in order to claim the credit. The credit is allocated by taxable year as set forth in the credit agreement. The credit agreement specifies the terms and conditions which must be met in order to claim a credit for the taxable year. D Limitations S corporations may claim only 1/3 of the credit 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. In addition, S corporations may pass through 100% of the credit to their ­shareholders. 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 a taxpayer receives from the disregarded entity that can be utilized is 8451213 FTB 3592  2021  Side 1 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. This credit cannot reduce the minimum franchise tax (corporations and S corporations), the annual tax (limited partnerships, limited liability partnerships, and LLCs), 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). 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. This credit can reduce regular tax below the tentative minimum tax (TMT). Get Schedule P (100, 100W, 540, 540NR, or 541) for more information. This credit is not refundable. E 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 liabilities. For more information, get form FTB 3544, Assignment of Credit, or go to ftb.ca.gov and search for credit assignment. F Carryover If the available credit exceeds the current year tax liability, the unused credit may be carried over for up to six years or until the credit is exhausted, whichever occurs first. In no event can the credit be carried back and applied against a prior year’s tax. If you have a carryover, retain all records that document this credit and carryover used in prior years. The Franchise Tax Board (FTB) may require access to these records.

Form 3592 is a California Individual 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 Individual Income Tax

The IRS and most states collect a personal income tax, which is paid throughout the year via tax withholding or estimated income tax payments.

Most taxpayers are required to file a yearly income tax return in April to both the Internal Revenue Service and their state's revenue department, which will result in either a tax refund of excess withheld income or a tax payment if the withholding does not cover the taxpayer's entire liability. Every taxpayer's situation is different - please consult a CPA or licensed tax preparer to ensure that you are filing the correct tax forms!
