Future Developments For the latest information about developments related to Form 8717 and its instructions, such as legislation enacted after they were published, go to www.irs.gov/Form8717. What’s New Specific user fee amounts are no longer listed on Form 8717. You must now enter the appropriate user fee when completing line 5. Notice 2011-86 was obsoleted. See Notice 2017-1, 2017-2 I.R.B. 367. Note: www.pay.gov is required to be used when submitting the user fee with Form 5310 applications. Starting July 1, 2022, Pay.gov will be required for Form 5300 submissions and applicable user fees. General Instructions Purpose of Form Generally, a user fee is required with each application for a determination letter. Use Form 8717 to submit the appropriate user fee. Note: Don’t use any part of the form that is shaded in gray. Those portions of the form are no longer functional. Specific Instructions Exemption From User Fee The exemption from the user fee applies to all eligible employers (defined later) who request a determination letter within the first 5 plan years or, if later, by the end of any remedial amendment period with respect to the plan that begins within the first 5 plan years (“qualifying open remedial amendment period”). The IRS will treat an application for a determination letter as being filed within a qualifying open remedial amendment period if the plan was first in existence no earlier than January 1 of the 10th calendar year preceding the year in which the application is filed (the “10-year rule”). Example. If a determination letter application for a plan that was first in existence during 2007 is filed on December 1, 2017, then the IRS will treat the application as having been filed within a qualifying open remedial amendment period. If an application does not satisfy the 10year rule requirements, but the application satisfies the user fee exemption requirements under section 7528(b)(2)(B) (for example, in a case in which a qualifying open remedial amendment period ends more than 10 years after the year in which the plan is first in existence), then no user fee is required. The applicant should complete only the Certification and explain in a cover letter how the application satisfies the user fee exemption requirements under section 7528(b)(2)(B).

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.
