41A720-S35 KRA (PKG) (10-23) 2023 COMMONWEALTH OF KENTUCKY DEPARTMENT OF REVENUE FRANKFORT KRA KENTUCKY REINVESTMENT ACT t Only use this form if you have received approval for the KRA credit per KRS 154.34–010 to 120 by the Cabinet for Economic Development. t See instructions. t Attach to form 720, 720U, PTE, or 725. INSTRUCTIONS—PACKAGE KRA 2023 Purpose of Package – Use this package to report KRA tax incentives for which your business entity has been approved per KRS 154.34–010 to 120. You must have received preliminary or final approval in accordance with KRS 154.34 to determine the credit allowed. Schedule KRA-T is used by the company which has entered into a reinvestment agreement for a Kentucky Reinvestment Act (KRA) project to maintain a record of the balance of approved costs and tax credits. General Instructions – Only include one incentive project per Package KRA. If your business entity files a form 720 or 720U with the state of Kentucky, you must complete Schedule KRA (Page 3) and Schedule KRA-T (Page 7). If your business entity files form PTE or 725, you must complete Schedule KRA-SP (Page 5) and Schedule KRA-T (Page 7). First and Last Year Prorations—Tax incentives are only available to be claimed during the term of the incentive agreement. Tax incentives claimed during the first and last years of an incentive agreement must be prorated accordingly. Separate period accounting is recommended, but a proration factor may be used if separate period accounting is not available. To determine the proration factor in the first year of the incentive agreement, divide the number of days from the activation date until the end of your taxable year by the total number of days in your taxable year. Multiply the total income by the proration factor to determine the project income when separate period accounting is not available. To determine the proration factor in the last year of the incentive agreement, divide the number of days from the first day of your taxable year through the end of the incentive agreement term by the total number of days in your taxable year. Multiply the total income by the proration factor to determine the project income when separate period accounting is not available. 41A720-S35 KRA (PKG) (10-23) Page 2 of 8 SCHEDULE KRA TAX CREDIT COMPUTATION SCHEDULE (FOR A KRA PROJECT OF A CORPORATION) Commonwealth of Kentucky Department of Revenue Name of Corporation Federal Identification Number __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ Location of Project City Activation Date of KRA Incentive Agreement / / Mo.

The amount of tax credit against each tax can be different; however, for tracking purposes, the maximum amount of credit used against either tax is the amount that is used for the tax year. PURPOSE OF SCHEDULE—This schedule is used to determine the credit allowed against the Kentucky corporation income tax liability and/or LLET attributable to the project per KRS 141.415. GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS Part I—Computation of LLET Excluding KRA Project Line 2—Use Schedule L–ECON to compute a separate LLET of the KRA project using only the Kentucky gross receipts and Kentucky gross profits of the project and attach it to the return when filed. If approved for multiple projects, attach a separate Schedule L–ECON for each project’s LLET computation. In the first and last years of each project, only calculate Kentucky gross receipts and gross profits received during the term of the incentive agreement. A corporation with more than one economic development project must separately compute the tax credit derived from each project. Complete the applicable tax computation schedules (KREDA, KIDA, KJRA, KIRA, KJDA, KBI, KRA, IEIA, or IEBA) for each project. A corporation approved for the Skills Training Investment Credit Act (STICA) or Metropolitan College Consortium Tax Credit (MCC) must attach a copy of the certification(s) from the Bluegrass State Skills Corporation. A corporation approved for the Kentucky Small Business Tax Credit Program (KSBTC) or the Kentucky Selling Farmer Tax Credit (KSFTC) must attach a copy of the certification from the Kentucky Economic Development Finance Authority. Part II—Computation of Taxable Net Income Excluding Net Income from KRA Project and KRA Tax Credit Alternative Methods—Per KRS 141.415(8), if the approved company can show that the nature of the operations and activities of the approved company are such that it is not practical to use separate accounting to determine net income, Kentucky gross receipts or Kentucky gross profits from the facility where the project is located, the approved company must determine net income, Kentucky gross receipts, or Kentucky gross profits attributable to the project using an alternative method approved by the Department of Revenue. Thus, if any method other than separate accounting is used, a copy of the letter from the Department of Revenue approving the alternative method must be attached to this schedule. Section B Separate Facility Line 2—Enter net income from KRA project. If the corporation’s only operation in Kentucky is the KRA project, the amount entered on Line 1 must also be entered on Line 2. If the corporation has operations other than the KRA project, it must attach schedules reflecting the computation of the net income from the KRA project per KRS 141.415(6)(a)* or KRS 141.415(7)(a).*** In the first and last years of each project, only calculate Kentucky net income received during the term of the incentive agreement. * Per KRS 141.415(6)(a), if the project is a totally separate facility, net income attributable to the project shall be determined by the separate accounting method. ** Per KRS 141.415(6)(b), if the project is a totally separate facility, Kentucky gross receipts or Kentucky gross profits attributable to the project shall be determined under the separate accounting method reflecting only the Kentucky gross receipts or Kentucky gross profits directly attributable to the facility. If the corporation has operations other than the KRA project, it must attach schedules reflecting the computation of Kentucky gross profits and Kentucky gross receipts from the KRA project per KRS 141.415(6) (b)** or KRS 141.415(7)(b).**** See form for computation. Part III—Limitation For an approved company which received preliminary approval for a reinvestment project prior to February 1, 2010, the amount of incentives allowed in any tax year must not exceed the lesser of: (i) the tax liability of the approved company related to the reinvestment project for that taxable year or (ii) the approved costs that have not yet been recovered. For an approved company which received preliminary approval for a reinvestment project on or after February 1, 2010, the amount of incentives allowed in any tax year must not exceed the lesser of: (i) the tax liability of the approved company related to the reinvestment project for that taxable year, (ii) twenty percent (20%) of the total amount of the approved costs, or (iii) the approved costs that have not yet been recovered. Line 3—Enter: (i) the total amount of the approved costs if the company received preliminary approval for the project prior to February 1, 2010; or (ii) twenty percent (20%) of the total amount of the approved costs if the company received preliminary approval for the project on or after February 1, 2010. 41A720-S35 KRA (10-23) Expansion of Existing Facility *** Per KRS 141.415(7)(a), if the KRA project is an expansion to a previously existing facility, net income attributable to the entire facility shall be determined under the separate accounting method and the net income attributable to the KRA project shall be determined by apportioning the separate accounting net income of the entire facility to the KRA project income using a formula approved by the Department of Revenue. A copy of the letter from the Department of Revenue approving the formula must be attached to this schedule. **** Per KRS 141.415(7)(b), if the KRA project is an expansion to a previously existing facility, Kentucky gross receipts or Kentucky gross profits attributable to the entire facility shall be determined under the separate accounting method and the Kentucky gross receipts or Kentucky gross profits attributable to the KRA project shall be determined by apportioning the separate accounting Kentucky gross receipts or Kentucky gross profits of the entire facility to the KRA project Kentucky gross receipts or Kentucky gross profits using a formula approved by the Department of Revenue.

Signature of Shareholder, Partner, or Member Print Name 230319 41A720-S36 KRA-SP (10-23) Date Page 5 of 8 INSTRUCTIONS–SCHEDULE KRA–SP PURPOSE OF SCHEDULE—This schedule is used by a pass–through entity to determine the credit allowed against the Kentucky income tax and/or LLET attributable to the project per KRS 141.415. NOTE: These credits do not pass through to members, partners, or shareholders of pass-through entities. Pass–through entities should first complete Form PTE to determine net income (loss), deductions, etc., from the entire operations of the pass– through entity. The pass–through entity should then complete Schedule KRA–SP to determine the KRA tax credit and the tax due, if any, from the KRA project. A pass–through entity is subject to tax per KRS 141.020 and KRS 141.0401 on the net income and the Kentucky gross receipts or Kentucky gross profits from the KRA project and the KRA credit is applied against the tax of the KRA project. Consequently, the pass–through entity must use Form PTE(K) to exclude the net income from the KRA project from the partners’, members’, or shareholders’ distributive share income. Multiple Projects—A pass–through entity with multiple economic development projects must complete the applicable schedules (KREDA–SP, KIDA–SP, KJRA–SP, KIRA–SP, KJDA–SP, KBI–SP, KRA–SP, IEIA–SP, or IEBA-SP) to determine the credit and net tax liability, if any, for each project. Line 1—If the pass–through entity’s only operation is the KRA project, the amount entered on Line 1 is the net income (loss) from Form PTE. If the pass–through entity has operations other than the KRA project, a schedule must be attached reflecting the computation of the net income (loss) from the KRA project in accordance with the following instructions and enter on Line 1. In the first and last years of each project, only calculate Kentucky taxable income received during the term of the incentive agreement. Separate Facility—Per KRS 141.415(6), if the KRA project is a totally separate facility, net income, Kentucky gross receipts, or Kentucky gross profits attributable to the project must be determined by a separate accounting method. Expansion of Existing Facility—Per KRS 141.415(7), if the KRA project is an expansion to a previously existing facility, the net income, Kentucky gross receipts, or Kentucky gross profits must be determined under a separate accounting method reflecting the entire facility and the net income, Kentucky gross receipts, or Kentucky gross profits must be determined by apportioning the net income, Kentucky gross receipts, or Kentucky gross profits of the entire facility to the economic development project by a formula approved by the Department of Revenue. A copy of the letter from the Department of Revenue approving the formula must be attached to the schedule. Alternative Methods—Per KRS 141.415(8), if the approved company can show that the nature of the operations and activities of the approved company are such that it is not practical to use a separate accounting method to determine the net income, Kentucky gross receipts, or Kentucky gross profits from the facility where the economic development project is located, the approved company must use an alternative method approved by the Department of Revenue. A copy of the letter from the Department of Revenue approving the alternative method must be attached to this schedule. Separate Accounting—If the economic development project is a totally separate facility, net income shall reflect only the gross income, deductions, expenses, gains, and losses allowed under this chapter directly attributable to the facility and overhead expenses apportioned to the facility; and Kentucky gross receipts or Kentucky gross profits shall reflect only Kentucky gross receipts or Kentucky gross profits directly attributable to the facility. 41A720-S36 KRA-SP (10-23) 2023 If the economic development project is an expansion to a previously existing facility, net income of the entire facility must reflect only the gross income, deductions, expenses, gains, and losses allowed under this chapter directly attributable to the facility and overhead expenses apportioned to the facility; and Kentucky gross receipts and Kentucky gross profits must reflect only Kentucky gross receipts and Kentucky gross profits directly attributable to the facility. Net income, Kentucky gross receipts, and Kentucky gross profits of the entire facility attributable to the economic development project must be determined by apportioning the net income, Kentucky gross receipts, and Kentucky gross profits by a formula approved by the Department of Revenue. Line 2—Enter the net operating loss from the KRA project, if any, being carried forward from previous years. Note: Just as the income from a KRA project does not flow through to partners, members, or shareholders, neither do the losses. The project’s net operating loss from prior years must be subtracted from the project income before calculating the KRA credit. General Partnership—Lines 5 and 6 of this schedule should not be completed by a general partnership as a general partnership is not subject to LLET. Line 5—Use Schedule L–ECON to compute a separate LLET of the KRA project using only the Kentucky gross receipts and Kentucky gross profits of the project and attach it to the return when filed. If approved for multiple projects, attach a separate Schedule L–ECON of each project’s LLET computation. In the first and last years of each project, only calculate Kentucky LLET received during the term of the incentive agreement. Limitation—For an approved company which received preliminary approval for a reinvestment project prior to February 1, 2010, the amount of incentives allowed in any tax year must not exceed the lesser of: (i) the tax liability of the approved company related to the reinvestment project for that taxable year or (ii) the approved costs that have not yet been recovered. For an approved company which received preliminary approval for a reinvestment project on or after February 1, 2010, the amount of incentives allowed in any tax year must not exceed the lesser of: (i) the tax liability of the approved company related to the reinvestment project for that taxable year, (ii) twenty percent (20%) of the total amount of the approved costs, or (iii) the approved costs that have not yet been recovered. Line 9—Enter: (i) the total amount of the approved costs if the company received preliminary approval for the project prior to February 1, 2010; or (ii) twenty percent (20%) of the total amount of the approved costs if the company received preliminary approval for the project on or after February 1, 2010. Line 10—In lieu of the tax credit, the approved company may elect, on an annual basis, to apply as an estimated tax payment an amount equal to the allowable tax credit. Any estimated tax payment must be in satisfaction of the tax liability of the partners, members, or shareholders of the pass– through entity and must be paid on behalf of the partners, members, or shareholders. Enter an amount on either (a) or (b), but in no case should there be an entry on both (a) and (b). Per KRS 141.415(5), this estimated tax payment is excluded in determining each partner’s, member’s, or shareholder’s distributive share income or credit from a pass–through entity. Accordingly, the partners, members, or shareholders are not entitled to claim any portion of this estimated tax payment against their Kentucky income tax liability.

This information is necessary for the company to determine the limitation of the tax credit throughout the life of the project and to allow the Kentucky Department of Revenue to verify that credit has been properly computed. GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS A separate Schedule KRA-T, Tracking Schedule for a KRA Project, must be maintained for the duration of each KRA project. Beginning with the first taxable year of the KRA reinvestment agreement, complete Columns A through E using a separate line for each tax year of the reinvestment agreement. The company must attach a copy of this schedule updated with current year information to the Schedule KRA or Schedule KRA-SP which is filed with the Kentucky tax return and attach a copy to the Wage Assessment Report and Annual Reconciliation. All tax credits are entered on Schedule TCS, Tax Credit Summary Schedule. The total tax credits calculated may exceed the amount that can be used. Credits must be claimed in the order prescribed by KRS 141.0205. Total credits claimed cannot reduce the LLET below the $175 minimum nor the income tax liability below zero. 41A720-S37 KRA-T (10-23) 2023 SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS Column A—Enter on each line the ending date (month and year) of the taxable year for which the information requested in Columns B through E is entered. Column B—This column will be blank for the first taxable year of the agreement. For each year thereafter, if the amount entered in Column D for the prior year exceeds the amount entered in Column E for the prior year, enter the difference. If the amount entered in Column E for the prior year equals the amount entered in Column D for the prior year, enter zero (-0-). If the amount entered in Column E for the prior year is greater than the amount claimed in Column D, you have exceeded the amount of credits eligible to claim. Column C—Enter the total amount of approved costs per the agreement for the taxable year. Column D—Enter the result of adding the amounts entered in Columns B and C. Then, enter on Schedule KRA, Part III, Line 2, or Schedule KRA-SP, Part I, Line 8, whichever is applicable. Column E—The tax credit calculated for each tax can be different; however, for tracking purposes, the greater of the credit claimed against LLET or income tax is recorded as the amount claimed. Enter the greater of Column E or Column F from Schedule TCS for this project, if applicable. Otherwise, enter zero (-0-). Page 8 of 8

Kentucky usually releases forms for the current tax year between January and April. We last updated Kentucky Schedule KRA from the Department of Revenue in February 2024.
Schedule KRA is a Kentucky 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.
