2019 PA Corporate Net Income Tax - CT-1 Instructions (REV-1200)

2 2019 019 CT-1 INSTRUCTIONS REV-1200 Booklet (SU) 10-19 FOR CALENDAR YEAR 2019 AND FISCAL YEARS BEGINNING IN 2019 PLEASE CAREFULLY REVIEW HIGHLIGHTS BEFORE COMPLETING ANY TAX REPORTS OR SCHEDULES. HIGHLIGHTS 1. IMPORTANT: The RCT-101, PA Corporate Net Income Tax Report MUST include a Revenue ID number. Failure to provide a Revenue ID number may result in a delay or inability to process and post your return and applying your tax payments. To obtain a Revenue ID all corporations must first register with the Pennsylvania Department of State. When registering with the Department of State, you must include your Federal Employer Identification Number (FEIN). This information is then forwarded to the Pennsylvania Department of Revenue, who will then issue a Revenue ID number. Failure to provide the FEIN when registering with the Department of State will result in a delay or inability to process your information for a Revenue ID. Information on how to register a corporation with the PA Department of State can be found on their website at www.dos.pa.gov. 2. CAUTION: Qualified 168(k) property placed in service after Sept. 27, 2017, is subject to 100 percent add-back. See Corporation Tax Bulletin 2018-03. REV-799 is no longer required to be completed. Complete REV-1834, Schedules C-8 and C-9. 3. Act 52 of 2013 requires the add-back of intangible expenses to income for interest, royalties, patents, trademarks, etc., between affiliated entities in certain instances. Taxpayers reporting such addbacks must include schedules REV-802 and REV-803 when filing the report. 4. IMPORTANT: Failure to submit a properly completed and signed tax report, which includes a copy of the federal form and supporting schedules, may result in the delay of processing and the imposition of late filing penalties and/or estimated assessments. 5. Corporations participating in a consolidated federal tax filing must provide consolidating income statements and balance sheets including separate company schedules and all consolidations and eliminations. 6. Prior to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, dividends received by a corporation from another corporation were 70% excluded from income for less than 20% owned domestic corporations and 80% excluded from income for more than 20%, but less than 80%, owned domestic corporations. As amended by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, for tax years beginning after December 31, 2017, the 70-percent dividends-received deduction is reduced to 50 percent and the 80percent dividends-received deduction is reduced to 65 percent (Code Secs. 243(a)(1) and (c)(1). There was no change made to the 100% dividends-received deduction for dividend income received from 80% or more owned domestic corporations. 7. IMPORTANT: The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 amended Section 163(j) of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”). For Federal income tax purposes, Section 163(j) limits the deductibility of interest expense in the current tax year of certain U.S. taxpayers for tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2018. Pennsylvania Corporation Tax Bulletin 2019-03 provides guidance on how the federal limitations imposed by the amended Section 163(j) are treated for Pennsylvania Corporate Net Income Tax (“CNIT”) purposes. 8. The Pennsylvania Department of Revenue has set forth a new $500,000 economic nexus threshold for purposes of imposing the corporate net income tax on out-of-state companies. Corporation Tax Bulletin 2019-04 cites the U.S. Supreme Court’s South Dakota v. Wayfair Inc. decision as authority underlying the new nexus threshold and provides that remote corporations satisfying the minimum thresholds for nexus under the U.S. Constitution should file a state corporate net income tax report. Taxpayers that meet the minimum constitutional nexus thresholds must begin filing corporate tax reports for periods starting on or after January 1, 2020. Page 1 of RCT-101 contains a checkbox labeled Section 381/382/ Merger NOLS/Alternate Apportionment. This box must be checked for any of the conditions listed below. Examples of reports include those filed by: • Corporations having net operating loss (NOL) limitations under IRC Section 381 and IRC Section 382; • Corporations claiming losses or Bonus Depreciation carryforward from a merger; • UDITPA Section 18 taxpayers claiming alternate apportionment method or separate accounting; • Corporations requesting extra-statutory treatment beyond that provided by law; and • Corporations with two distinct activities like warehousing/ trucking & distribution/trucking or persons/transportation & property/transportation.

REMINDERS The Capital Stock/Foreign Franchise tax has been phased out for tax years beginning on or after Jan. 1, 2016. This means that many business types such as S corporations, LLC’s taxed as pass-through entities and business trusts that are not federally taxed as a C corporation will need to file their final RCT-101 corporation tax report for the 2015 reporting period. These reports must be marked as final reports. beginning prior to Jan. 1, 2016, MUST be filed on the non-year-specific, six page RCT-101. You must check the Amended Report checkbox on Page 1, Step B, and include REV-1175 with the report. Corporations not subject to the PA corporate net income tax for the years mentioned above include, single member LLC’s, Multi Member LLC’s taxed as a partnership or S corporation, Business Trusts and PA S corporations (except PA S corporations that have Built-In-Gains). Solicitation only corporations would also no longer be required to file a RCT-101, PA Corporate Net Income Tax Report, unless activity exceeds solicitation only. Taxpayers claiming Add-Back on RCT-101, PA Corporate Net Income Tax Report, must provide schedules REV-802 and REV-803 by submitting them with RCT-101. Corporations subject to the PA corporate net income tax (including PA S corporations that have Built-In-Gains) must continue to file RCT-101, PA Corporate Net Income Tax Report. RCT-101 is a revised, year specific, four page form and includes a revised Page 1, eliminating CS-FF and LOANS from Step D. It also includes a revised Page 2, Bonus Depreciation, Corporate Net Income Tax, and Sales Factor Apportionment (Schedule C-1). Use ONLY this year-specific, four page RCT-101 for filing all tax years beginning on or after Jan. 1, 2016. All reports for tax years beginning prior to Jan. 1, 2016 MUST be filed on the non-year-specific, six page RCT-101. These forms can be found on the department’s website at www.revenue.pa.gov.

Completing the sales factor as 0/0, leaving the sales factor field blank or typing “none” in this field will result in apportionment being changed to 100 percent in Pennsylvania, automatically changing the reported tax liabilities. A corporation with no sales both inside and outside Pennsylvania should complete SCHEDULE C-1 on Page 2 of RCT-101, using “0” as the numerator and “1” as the denominator. Failure to submit a properly completed and signed tax report may result in the delay of processing and the imposition of late filing penalties and/or estimated assessments. The penalty imposed for failure to file reports when due is a minimum of $500, regardless of the determined tax liability, plus an additional 1 percent of any determined tax liability over $25,000. Taxpayers filing a full year report and disclosing a bulk sale should not fill in the bulk sale checkbox on Page 3 of RCT-101, PA Corporate Net Income Tax Report.

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.
