RECOVERY AND REINVESTMENT ACT
Form 1120, U.S. Corporation
Income Tax Return, is used to report the income, gains, losses,
deductions, credits, and to figure the income tax liability of a
corporation. Changes to this collection and the creation of a new
schedule, has resulted in a combined burden increase of 890,000
responses and 2,972,162 hours. Form 1120 contains statutory changes
to comply with the Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008. Under
section 3081 of the Act, corporations may elect to claim additional
research and minimum tax credits in lieu of claiming the additional
first year depreciation under section 168(k) for certain property.
The increase in allowable credit is treated as refundable.
Accordingly, we have added line 32g to page 1 of Form 1120 for
corporations to use for this credit. Schedule J, Form 1120,
contains statutory changes relating to the American Recovery and
Reinvestment Act. Section 1142 of the Act provides for the creation
of a credit for certain plug-in electric vehicles acquired after
February 17, 2009. Accordingly we have added line 5b, Schedule J,
for corporations to claim this credit. Under section 3022 of the
Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008, the low-income housing
tax credit and the rehabilitation credit may offset the alternative
minimum tax. Form 3800, General Business Credit, will now contain
the calculation of the tax liability limitation. Accordingly, we
have eliminated the check boxes on Form 1120, page 3, Schedule J,
Tax Computation, line 5c, General business credit. These combined
statutory changes have resulted in a decrease in burden by -477,788
hours. Schedule K, Form 1120, contains discretionary changes. The
entry columns for Questions 4a and 4b were deleted. This entity
information is now required to be provided on Schedule G (Form
1120) to address concerns raised by Treasury. Schedule B, Form
1120, contains discretionary changes. At the request of the Large
and Mid-size Business (LMSB) unit (within the IRS), question 8 was
replaced with new questions 8 and 9. The changes deleted language
involving mixed service costs and used the term indirect costs.
The changes also deleted references to the FERC (Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission) method of accounting and expanded the range
of entities subject to the questions. Question 10 was added at the
request of LMSB to address future identification of potential
section 118 abuses. Schedule G, Form 1120, was developed based on
the discretionary suggestions of the Large and Mid-Size Business
Unit (within the IRS) and Treasury to address disclosure issues
pertaining to the information that was requested in Question 4 of
the 2008 Form 1120, Schedule K. All discretionary changes to
Schedule O, Form 1120, were made at the request of the Chief
Counsel and Schedule O work group. New line 4 was added to clarify
if the termination on line 3c or 3d was voluntary or involuntary.
Lines 4, 5, and 6 were renumbered to read 5, 6, and 7. The language
in line 7 was updated and a check box was added to identify
corporations that have a short tax year that do not include
December 31 to clarify how the allocations on pages two and three
were determined. The creation of new Schedule UTP (Uncertain Tax
Position Disclosure Statement) is a result of discretionary action
s as a result of Internal Revenue Service Announcements: 2010-9,
2010-17, and 2010-30. Existing business tax returns do not
currently require that taxpayers identify and explain uncertain tax
positions underlying their returns. The purpose of Schedule UTP
(F1120) is to aid the Internal Revenue Service in focusing its
examination resources on returns that contain specific uncertain
tax positions that are of particular interest or of sufficient
magnitude to warrant IRS inquiry and allow examination teams to
identify all of the issues underlying the tax returns more
efficiently. These discretionary changes resulted in a burden
increase of 3,449,950 hours.
