General instructions
Eligibility

You are eligible to use the 2023
Schedule ND‑1FA to calculate your
tax for 2023 if you used Schedule J
(Form 1040) to calculate your 2023
federal income tax.
The use of Schedule ND-1FA is elective.
You do not have to use it even though
you used Schedule J (Form 1040) to
calculate your federal income tax for
2023.
IMPORTANT: It is possible for the tax
calculated using Schedule ND‑1FA to
be higher than the tax calculated on
all of your income using the regular
method (without Schedule ND-1FA).
Complete and attach Schedule ND‑1FA
to your Form ND‑1 only if you are
electing to pay the tax that results
from using Schedule ND-1FA.

Copies of base period
returns

You will need copies of your 2020,
2021, and 2022 North Dakota income
tax returns to complete the 2023
Schedule ND-1FA. If you do not have
a copy of any of these returns, see
the back cover of the 2023 Form ND-1
instruction booklet for information on
how to obtain one.
If you filed an amended North Dakota
income tax return, or if the Office of
State Tax Commissioner made changes
to your North Dakota income tax
return for 2020, 2021, or 2022, you
must use the corrected amounts when
completing Schedule ND-1FA.

Specific line
instructions
Line 2

Enter your elected farm income from
the 2023 Schedule J (Form 1040),
line 2a. However, if you claimed an
exclusion on line 6 of your 2023
Form ND-1 attributable to a net longterm capital gain included in your
federal elected farm income, subtract
that portion of the exclusion from your
federal elected farm income and enter
the result on this line.

Lines 5, 9, and 13

For purposes of completing lines 5, 9,
and 13 of the 2023 Schedule ND-1FA,
your North Dakota taxable income may
be a negative number. If your North
Dakota taxable income for a base year
is mathematically less than zero, use
the negative number for purposes of
completing these lines.

No filing requirement for base
year. If you were not required to file a
North Dakota income tax return for one
or more of the base years, you must
complete the applicable North Dakota
return for each base year for which
a return was not filed. Complete the
return through the line on which the
tax is calculated. Use the figures from
the return completed for the base year
to complete the applicable lines of the
2023 Schedule ND-1FA.

About the Individual Income Tax

The IRS and most states collect a personal income tax, which is paid throughout the year via tax withholding or estimated income tax payments.

Most taxpayers are required to file a yearly income tax return in April to both the Internal Revenue Service and their state's revenue department, which will result in either a tax refund of excess withheld income or a tax payment if the withholding does not cover the taxpayer's entire liability. Every taxpayer's situation is different - please consult a CPA or licensed tax preparer to ensure that you are filing the correct tax forms!
