About the Course

Introduction

This course will explain and simplify the preparation of Form 5471, Schedules J, P, H, and E for tax preparers grappling with the requirements of these detailed schedules, including the most recent changes made to these schedules.

Description

Properly preparing Form 5471, Information Return of U.S. Persons with Respect to Certain Foreign Corporations, and its related Schedules J, P, H, and E is complex and crucial. With penalties of $10,000 for not filing the form itself and foreign tax credits at stake, not getting this form and its schedules right could prove costly. Preparing this form requires understanding the underlying and perpetually changing foreign rules that govern this reporting obligation.

Legislative changes have dictated continual changes to Form 5471. Schedule J and Schedule P report accumulated E&P and previously taxed E&P (PTEP) respectively of a CFC in its functional currency. Foreign income is reported in one of six categories with an appropriate code, 951A, RBT (income re-source by treaty), 901(j) (income earned from a sanctioned country), FB (QBUs), in addition to the more familiar passive and general income categories.

Schedule H, Current E&P, is completed by Category 4 and 5 filers to report the foreign corporation's E&P in the CFC's functional currency. Preparing this form includes making appropriate foreign book adjustments to comply with U.S. GAAP and tax reporting requirements.

Schedule E contains seven columns that necessitate reporting accurately and claiming the foreign tax credit after tax reform. Preparers must understand the limitation on FTCs imposed by Sections 901 (what constitutes a tax) and 909 (foreign tax credit splitting) when completing this schedule. Numerous updates have been made to Schedule E this year, including a new "TOTAL" code required for certain taxpayers. Pages 2 and 3 of Schedule E-1 require that taxpayers report amounts in all columns, including column (c), in U.S. dollars rather than the functional currency.

Listen as our panel provides expert insights into the preparation of Schedules J, P, H, and E with Form 5471 and the underlying regulations that mandate their preparation.
