Each member of a unitary group who earns or is allowed the credit must complete a separate Form 68. Qualifying Property You must obtain an order from the Idaho Public Utilities Commission (PUC) confirming that your installed equipment is qualified broadband equipment. Qualified broadband equipment is equipment that qualifies for the investment tax credit and is capable of transmitting signals at a rate of at least 200,000 bits per second to a subscriber and at least 125,000 bits per second from a subscriber. Also, specific requirements must be met by: • Telecommunications carriers • Commercial mobile service carriers • Cable or open video system operators • Satellite or wireless carriers • Packet switching equipment • Multiplexing and demultiplexing equipment The equipment must be used primarily to provide services to public subscribers in Idaho. Unitary Sharing A corporation included as a member of a unitary group of corporations may elect to share the broadband equipment investment credit it earns but doesn’t use with other members of the unitary group. The corporation must claim the broadband equipment investment credit to the extent allowable against its Idaho income tax before it can share the credit. Transfer of Credit A taxpayer who earns the broadband equipment investment credit and an intermediary may transfer the credit to another taxpayer. The transferor must submit Form 70, Statement of Credit Transfer, to the Tax Commission at least 60 days before the date of transfer. The Tax Commission will verify the amount of credit available for transfer and the number of carryover years. The transferee may first claim the transferred credit on the income tax return originally filed during the calendar year the transfer takes place. However, the EIN00081 09-21-2023  2023 credit can’t be claimed on a tax return that begins before January 1, 2001. The transferee must include a copy of Form 70 with each income tax return the credit is claimed or carried over on. Carryover Periods The credit carryover is limited to 14 tax years. A transferee is entitled to the same carryover period that would have been allowed to the transferor. Specific Instructions Instructions are for lines not fully explained on the form. Credit Available Subject to Limitation Line 1. Include a list of all property you acquired during the tax year you’re claiming the broadband equipment investment credit for. The list should identify each piece of equipment, your basis in the item, and the date placed in service. Don’t include any equipment that was disposed of, that ceased to qualify, or that was moved from Idaho before the end of the year. Also include the approval from the Idaho PUC that confirms the installed equipment is qualified broadband equipment. Line 3. Enter the amount of broadband equipment investment credit that’s being passed to you from partnerships, S corporations, estates, or trusts you have an interest in. This amount is from Form ID K-1, Part VII, line 41 or Form ID K-1, Part XI, line 65 (Composite/ABE). Line 4. If you’re a member of a unitary group of corporations, enter the amount of credit you received from another member of the unitary group. Line 5. If you received credit as a result of a transfer from another taxpayer, enter the amount of credit you received. Include a copy of Form 70. Line 6.

If you’re a member of a unitary group of corporations, enter the amount of credit you earned that you elect to share with other members of your unitary group. Before you can share your credit, you must use the credit up to the allowable limitation of your Idaho income tax. Corporations claiming the broadband equipment investment credit must provide a calculation of the credit earned and used by each member of the combined group. The schedule must clearly identify shared credit and the computation of any credit carryovers. Line 10. If you transferred credit to another taxpayer, enter the amount of credit you transferred. You can only transfer credit that you originally earned, unless you’re an intermediary.

FORM 68 is an Idaho Corporate 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 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.
