SCHEDULE J- FORM 1120

LET'S DISCUSS ABOUT THE POINTS COVERED UNDER SCHEDULE J



 

Point 1:Let’s check if the corporation is a member of a Controlled group, If “YES”, we need to file Schedule O

Who needs to file schedule o?

A corporation which is a component member of a controlled group must use Schedule O (Form 1120) for reporting the apportionment of taxable income, income tax, and certain tax benefits between all component members of the group.



 

What is base erosion minimum tax?

In “Point 3” of Schedule J, Base Erosion Tax is calculated, so let’s see what this is.

The base erosion and anti-abuse tax, known as BEAT, was enacted in 2017 to discourage U.S. and foreign corporations from avoiding tax liability by shifting profits out of the U.S. BEAT works as a minimum tax of 10% that applies to certain multinational companies that make “base erosion payments” to foreign related parties. (Mainly with Gross Receipts of $500 million or more).

Form 8991 Needs to be Filed for the same.



 

What is FOREIGN TAX CREDIT?

Point 5a of Schedule J of Form 1120, talks about Foreign Tax Credit.

It is used to claim a credit for income taxes paid to a foreign country on which U.S. taxes are also paid on the same income. For Claiming “Foreign Tax Credit” we must file Form 1118



 

What is FORm 8834?

Point 5(b) of Schedule J Form 1120 deals with the following:

Form 8834 is used to claim electric vehicle passive activity tax credits from prior tax years. We should use Form 8834 in conjunction with Form 8582-CR to calculate passive activity credits. Passive activity credits are carried-over credits from previous years in which you couldn’t claim the credits due to passive activity rules.

If your vehicle qualifies, you'll receive a credit equal to 10% of the cost of each qualified plug-in electric vehicle with a maximum credit of $2,500 per vehicle. Keep in mind that you must be the original purchaser of the vehicle to qualify.
