Privacy Act and Paperwork Reduction Act Notice. We ask for the information on Form 637 to carry out the Internal Revenue laws of the United States. We need it to figure and collect the right amount of tax. Subtitle D of the Internal Revenue Code, Miscellaneous Excise Taxes, imposes certain excise taxes. Section 4101 requires certain persons to register for excise taxes on fuel, as imposed by sections 4041 and 4081. Sections 4101, 4222, 4662, and 4682 allow certain other manufacturers, sellers, or purchasers to register to be eligible for credits or to be exempt from the excise tax on taxable articles. If you’re required to register under section 4101 or if you elect to register for credits and/or exemption, you’re required to provide the information requested on this form. Failure to provide this information may subject persons required to register to penalties, and may delay or prevent the processing of a voluntary registration for credits or exemption; providing false information may subject you to penalties. Section 6109 requires you to provide the requested identification numbers. You’re not required to provide the information requested on a form that is subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act unless the form displays a valid OMB control number. Books or records relating to a form or its instructions must be retained as long as their contents may become material in the administration of any Internal Revenue law. If an IRS office has issued you a Certificate of Registry or a Letter of Registration that is still in effect for an activity, you don’t have to reapply for registration for that activity unless notified to do so. However, see Reregistration for fuel activities under section 4101, later. To confirm the status of a registration, visit https://apps.irs.gov/app/exciseTax/. To apply for another activity or to cancel a registration, you must contact the IRS office in which you’re registered. Generally, tax returns and return information are confidential, as required by section 6103. However, section 6103 allows or requires the IRS to disclose or give such information to the Department of Justice for civil and criminal litigation; to cities, states, the District of Columbia, and U.S. commonwealths and possessions to administer their tax laws; and to other countries under a tax treaty. We may also disclose this information to federal and state agencies to enforce federal nontax criminal laws, or to federal law enforcement and intelligence agencies to combat terrorism. Notify the IRS office within 10 days if any information submitted with an application changes. This includes, but isn’t limited to, address changes or changes in business activities. A registrant may not sell, lease, or otherwise allow another person to use its registration. The time needed to complete and file Form 637 will vary depending on individual circumstances. The estimated average time is: Recordkeeping, 7 hr., 39 min.; Learning about the law or the form, 1 hr., 37 min.; and Preparing and sending the form to the IRS, 4 hr., 13 min. Reregistration for fuel activities under section 4101. You must reregister with the IRS if there’s a change of more than 50% of the ownership of a registrant. In this instance, a change in ownership means that after a transaction (or series of transactions), more than 50% of the ownership interests in, or assets of, a registrant are held by persons other than persons (or persons related thereto) who held more than 50% of such interests or assets before the transaction (or series of transactions). Reregistration doesn’t apply to companies whose stock is regularly traded on an established securities market. If you fail to reregister as required, see Penalty, earlier. If you have comments concerning the accuracy of these time estimates or suggestions for making Form 637 simpler, we’d be happy to hear from you. You can send us comments from www.irs.gov/FormComments. Or you can write to: Changes in Registration To reregister, send a newly completed Form 637 to the address under Where To Apply, earlier.

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.
