The amount of credit imposed against the corporation income tax and LLET can be different. Tax Preparer's Note: Per KRS 141.390(2)(a), “Any credit allowed against the income tax imposed pursuant to this chapter shall also be applied against the limited liability entity tax imposed by KRS 141.0401.” Therefore, 100 percent of the amount of credit approved, listed in Part II, Line 2, is available against both the income tax liability and the LLET liability (subject to the listed limitations). The amount of credit claimed and the resulting balance of credit available must be calculated separately for income tax and LLET. If the balance available for income tax or LLET reaches zero, no further credit is allowed against that tax liability. For example, any balance available for income tax cannot be used as a credit against the LLET nor can any balance available for the LLET be used as a credit against the income tax liability. Purpose of Schedule—This schedule is used for both the recycling credit and a Major Recycling Project. It is used to request approval for the amount of Kentucky income tax credit and LLET credit that is allowable for the purchase and installation of recycling or composting equipment. It is also used by individual, fiduciary, or corporate taxpayers to substantiate and maintain a record of the amount of credit claimed on their tax return. Who is Entitled to the Credit—Any taxpayer who purchases and places in service recycling or composting equipment to be used exclusively in Kentucky is entitled to the tax credit. If the purchaser is a pass-through entity, the partners are entitled to their pro rata or distributive share of any approved credit. For a Major Recycling Project, the taxpayer must meet the following requirements: (1) invest more than $10 million in recycling or composting equipment to be used exclusively in this state; (2) have at least 400 full time employees with an average hourly wage of more than 300 percent of the federal minimum wage; and (3) have plant and equipment with a total cost of more than $500 million. The Amount of the Credit and When Permitted—For recycling or composting equipment other than Major Recycling Projects, the total allowable tax credit is equal to 50% of the combined costs of qualifying equipment and installation, if any. The tax credit claimed in the tax year during which the recycling equipment is purchased or placed in service must not exceed 10% of the total tax credit allowable and must not exceed 25% of each tax liability which would be otherwise due. For all other years, the credit is limited to 25% of the tax liability. For LLET purposes, the credit is subject to the limitations applied against the LLET liability. Therefore, separate credit balances must be maintained. The unused portion of the credit may be carried forward to succeeding tax years. For a Major Recycling Project, tax credits approved for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2019, the total allowable credit is equal to 25% of the installed cost of the recycling or composting equipment. In each taxable year, the amount of credit claimed for all Major Recycling Projects is limited to 75% of the total of each tax liability which would be otherwise due for that taxable year. For LLET purposes, the credit is subject to the limitations applied against the LLET liability. Therefore, separate credit balances must be maintained. The credit is limited to a period of 30 years commencing with the approval of the recycling credit application. For a Major Recycling Project, tax credits approved for taxable years beginning before January 1, 2020, the total allowable credit is equal to 50% of the installed cost of the recycling or composting equipment. In each taxable year, the amount of credit claimed for all Major Recycling Projects is limited to 50% of the excess of the total of each tax liability over the baseline tax liability of the taxpayer not to exceed $2.5 million. The baseline tax liability is the tax liability of the taxpayer for the most recent tax year ending prior to January 1, 2005. For LLET purposes, the credit is subject to the limitations applied against the LLET liability. Therefore, separate credit balances must be maintained. The credit is limited to a period of 10 years commencing with the approval of the recycling credit application. Equipment that requires installation must be completely installed and placed in service during the first taxable year for which the tax credit is claimed. Pass-through Entities—Distribute any credit approved for tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2007, to the partners, members, or shareholders on a pro rata or distributive share basis and record on Schedule K-1.

Schedule RC 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.
