Schedules Q & R, Form 5471: Reporting CFC Income by CFC Income Groups and Distributions From a Foreign Corporation
Welcome! Strafford is now BARBRI! The expert courses you know from the trusted global leader in legal education.
Description
Form 5471, Information Return of U.S. Persons With Respect To Certain Foreign Corporations, is one of the most comprehensive and complex forms required of foreign tax professionals. Schedules Q and R have been added to its numerous schedules to accommodate recent legislative changes. Schedule Q was added to facilitate the computation of the foreign tax credit considering the high-tax exception, high-tax kickout, Section 962 elections, and Section 960 deemed taxes paid.
Schedule R was added to report distributions from foreign corporations required under Sections 245A, 959, and 986(c). Columns (a) through (d) report the nature and amount of these distributions. All distributions made during a tax year should be reported on this schedule.
Specific line items on Schedules Q and R should agree with amounts reported elsewhere on Form 5471; tax software often cannot ensure these schedules are appropriately completed. International tax practitioners need to grasp the nuances of these new schedules and ensure they are correctly prepared.
Listen as our panel of international tax reporting experts provides advice and the background necessary to prepare Form 5471 Schedules Q and R correctly.
