The LLC can file a Form 1120 only if it has filed Form 8832, Entity Classification Election, to elect to be treated as an association taxable as a corporation. For more information about LLCs, see Pub. 3402, Tax Issues for Limited Liability Companies. Corporations engaged in farming.

Assembling the Return
To ensure that the corporation's tax return is correctly processed, attach all schedules and other forms after page 5 of Form 1120 in the following order. 1. Schedule N (Form 1120). 2. Schedule O (Form 1120). 3. Form 4626. 4. Form 8050. 5. Form 4136. 6. Form 851. 7. Additional schedules in alphabetical order. 8. Additional forms in numerical order. Complete every applicable entry space on Form 1120. Do not enter "See Attached" instead of completing the entry spaces. If more space is needed on the forms or schedules, attach separate sheets using the same size and format as the printed forms. If there are supporting statements and attachments, arrange them in the same order as the schedules or forms they support and attach them last. Show the totals on the printed forms. Enter the corporation's name and EIN on each supporting statement or attachment.

Depository Methods of Tax Payment
The corporation must pay any tax due in full no later than the 15th day of the 3rd month after the end of the tax year. The two methods of depositing taxes are discussed below.

Do not send deposits directly to an IRS office; otherwise, the corporation may have to pay a penalty. Mail or deliver the completed Form 8109 with the payment to an authorized depositary (a commercial bank or other financial institution authorized to accept federal tax deposits). Make checks or money orders payable to the depositary. If the corporation prefers, it can mail the coupon and payment to: Financial Agent, Federal Tax Deposit Processing, P.O. Box 970030, St. Louis, MO 63197. Make the check or money order payable to "Financial Agent." To help ensure proper crediting, enter the corporation's EIN, the tax period to which the deposit applies, and "Form 1120" on the check or money order. Darken the "1120" box under "Type of Tax" and the appropriate "Quarter" box under "Tax Period" on the coupon. Records of these deposits will be sent to the IRS. For more information, see "Marking the Proper Tax Period" in the Instructions for Form 8109. For more information on deposits, see the instructions in the coupon booklet (Form 8109) and Pub. 583, Starting a Business and Keeping Records. If the corporation owes tax when it files Form 1120, do not include the CAUTION payment with the tax return. Instead, mail or deliver the payment with Form 8109 to an authorized depositary, or use EFTPS, if applicable.

See section 6655 for details and exceptions, including special rules for large corporations. Use Form 2220, Underpayment of Estimated Tax by Corporations, to see if the corporation owes a penalty and to figure the amount of the penalty. Generally, the corporation does not have to file this form because the IRS can figure the amount of any penalty and bill the corporation for it. However, even if the corporation does not owe the penalty, complete and attach Form 2220 if: · The annualized income or adjusted seasonal installment method is used, or · The corporation is a large corporation computing its first required installment based on the prior year's tax. See the Instructions for Form 2220 for the definition of a large corporation. Also, see the instructions for line 33.

Interest and Penalties
Interest. Interest is charged on taxes paid late even if an extension of time to file is granted. Interest is also charged on penalties imposed for failure to file, negligence, fraud, substantial valuation misstatements, substantial understatements of tax, and reportable transaction understatements from the due date (including extensions) to the date of payment. The interest charge is figured at a rate determined under section 6621. Late filing of return. A corporation that does not file its tax return by the due date, including extensions, may be penalized 5% of the unpaid tax for each month or part of a month the return is late, up to a maximum of 25% of the unpaid tax. The minimum penalty for a return that is over 60 days late is the smaller of the tax due or $135. The penalty will not be imposed if the corporation can show that the failure to file on time was due to reasonable cause. Corporations that file late should attach a statement explaining the reasonable cause. Late payment of tax. A corporation that does not pay the tax when due generally may be penalized 1/2 of 1% of the unpaid tax for each month or part of a month the tax is not paid, up to a maximum of 25% of the unpaid tax. The penalty will not be imposed if the corporation can show that the failure to pay on time was due to reasonable cause. Trust fund recovery penalty. This penalty may apply if certain excise, income, social security, and Medicare taxes that must be collected or withheld are not collected or withheld, or these taxes are not paid. These taxes are generally reported on: · Form 720, Quarterly Federal Excise Tax Return; · Form 941, Employer's QUARTERLY Federal Tax Return; · Form 943, Employer's Annual Federal Tax Return for Agricultural Employees; or · Form 945, Annual Return of Withheld Federal Income Tax.

Electronic Deposit Requirement
The corporation must make electronic deposits of all depository taxes (such as employment tax, excise tax, and corporate income tax) using the Electronic Federal Tax Payment System (EFTPS) in 2009 if: · The total deposits of such taxes in 2007 were more than $200,000 or · The corporation was required to use EFTPS in 2008.

Estimated Tax Payments
Generally, the following rules apply to the corporation's payments of estimated tax. · The corporation must make installment payments of estimated tax if it expects its total tax for the year (less applicable credits) to be $500 or more. · The installments are due by the 15th day of the 4th, 6th, 9th, and 12th months of the tax year. If any date falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday, the installment is due on the next regular business day. · Use Form 1120-W, Estimated Tax for Corporations, as a worksheet to compute estimated tax. · If the corporation does not use EFTPS, use the deposit coupons (Forms 8109) to make deposits of estimated tax. · If the corporation overpaid estimated tax, it may be able to get a quick refund by filing Form 4466, Corporation Application for Quick Refund of Overpayment of Estimated Tax. See the instructions for lines 32b and 32c. Estimated tax penalty. A corporation that does not make estimated tax payments when due may be subject to an underpayment penalty for the period of underpayment. Generally, a corporation is subject to the penalty if its tax liability is $500 or more and it did not timely pay the smaller of: · Its tax liability for 2008 or · Its prior year's tax.

Deposits With Form 8109
If the corporation does not use EFTPS, deposit corporation income tax payments (and estimated tax payments) with Form 8109, Federal Tax Deposit Coupon. If you do not have a preprinted Form 8109, use Form 8109-B to make deposits. You can get this form by calling 1-800-829-4933 or visiting an IRS taxpayer assistance center.

The penalty is equal to the unpaid trust fund tax.

For inventory, some of the indirect expenses that must be capitalized are: · Administration expenses; · Taxes; · Depreciation; · Insurance; · Compensation paid to officers attributable to services; · Rework labor; and

· Contributions to pension, stock bonus, and certain profit-sharing, annuity, or deferred compensation plans. Regulations section 1.263A-1(e)(3) specifies other indirect costs that relate to production or resale activities that must be capitalized and those that may be currently deductible. Interest expense paid or incurred during the production period of designated property must be capitalized and is governed by special rules. For more details, see Regulations sections 1.263A-8 through 1.263A-15. The costs required to be capitalized under section 263A are not deductible until the property (to which the costs relate) is sold, used, or otherwise disposed of by the corporation. Exceptions.

This occurs when the corporation has an agreement (golden parachute) with these key employees to pay them these excess amounts if control of the corporation changes. See section 280G and Regulations section 1.280G-1. Also see the instructions for line 12. Business start-up and organizational costs. For business start-up and organization costs paid or incurred after September 8, 2008, a corporation can deduct up to $5,000 of such costs for the year it begins business (unless the corporation elects to capitalize all such costs). The $5,000 deduction is reduced by the amount the total costs exceed $50,000. If the total costs are $55,000 or more, the deduction is reduced to zero. Any cost not deducted must be amortized ratably over a 180-month period, beginning with the month the corporation begins business. The corporation is not required to attach a statement or specifically identify the amount deducted in order for the election to be effective. The corporation can choose to forgo the deduction and instead elect to capitalize all such costs. The election to deduct or capitalize costs is irrevocable. See Temporary Regulations sections 1.195-1T and 1.248-1T. For business start-up and organization costs paid after October 22, 2004, and before September 9, 2008, a corporation can elect to deduct up to $5,000 of such costs for the year it begins business (otherwise the corporation must capitalize all such costs). The $5,000 deduction is reduced by the amount the total costs exceed $50,000. If the total costs are $55,000 or more, the deduction is reduced to zero. Any costs not deducted must be amortized ratably over a 180-month period, beginning with the month the corporation begins business. If the election is made, the corporation must attach any statement required by Regulations sections 1.195-1(b) and 1.248-1(c). However, the corporation can apply the provisions of Temporary Regulations sections 1.195-1T and 1.248-1T to all expenses paid or incurred after October 22, 2004, provided the period of limitations on assessment has not expired for the year of the election. Otherwise the provisions under Regulations sections 1.195-1(b) and 1.248-1(c) will apply. For business start-up and organization costs paid or incurred before October 23, 2004, a corporation can elect to amortize such costs over a period of 60-months or more. Report the deductible amount of such costs and any amortization on line 26. For amortization that begins during the 2008 tax year, complete and attach Form 4562. Instructions for Form 1120

For more details on business start-up and organization costs, see Pub 535. Passive activity limitations.

Generally, the two kinds of passive activities are: · Trade or business activities in which the corporation did not materially participate for the tax year; and · Rental activities, regardless of its participation. For exceptions, see Form 8810, Corporate Passive Activity Loss and Credit Limitations. Corporations subject to the passive activity limitations must complete Form 8810 to compute their allowable passive activity loss and credit. Before completing Form 8810, see Temporary Regulations section 1.163-8T, which provides rules for allocating interest expense among activities. If a passive activity is also subject to the earnings stripping rules of section 163(j), the at-risk rules of section 465, or the tax-exempt use loss rules of section 470, those rules apply before the passive loss rules. For more information, see section 469, the related regulations, and Pub. 925, Passive Activity and At-Risk Rules. Closely held corporations. A corporation is a closely held corporation if: · At any time during the last half of the tax year more than 50% in value of its outstanding stock is directly or indirectly owned by or for not more than five individuals, and · The corporation is not a personal service corporation. Certain organizations are treated as individuals for purposes of this test. See section 542(a)(2). For rules for determining stock ownership, see section 544 (as modified by section 465(a)(3)).

The following are examples of such credits. · Work opportunity credit. · Credits for affected Midwestern disaster area employers. · Empowerment zone and renewal community credit. · Indian employment credit. · Welfare-to-work credit. · Research credit. · Orphan drug credit. · Disabled access credit. · Employer credit for social security and Medicare taxes paid on certain employee tips. · Credit for small employer pension plan startup costs. · Credit for employer-provided childcare facilities and services.

payments. If the corporation has any of these credits, figure each current year credit before figuring the deduction for expenses on which the credit is based. If the corporation capitalized any costs on which it figured the credit, reduce the amount capitalized by the credit attributable to these costs. See the instructions for the form used to figure the applicable credit. Limitations on deductions related to property leased to tax-exempt entities. If a corporation leases property to a governmental or other tax-exempt entity, the corporation cannot claim deductions related to the property to the extent that they exceed the corporation's income from the lease payments (tax-exempt use loss). Amounts disallowed may be carried over to the next tax year and treated as a deduction with respect to the property for that tax year. See section 470 for more details and exceptions.

Also see Notice 2008-94, 2008-44 I.R.B. 1070, for additional guidance. In addition, a portion of any parachute payments made to a covered executive by an applicable employer participating in a Treasury troubled asset relief program is not deductible as compensation if the payments are made because of a severance from employment during an applicable tax year. For this purpose, applicable employer, covered executive, and applicable tax year have the same meaning as under section 162(m)(5).

Line 18. Interest
Note. Do not offset interest income against interest expense. The corporation must make an interest allocation if the proceeds of a loan were used for more than one purpose (for example, to purchase a portfolio investment and to acquire an interest in a passive activity). See Temporary Regulations section 1.163-8T for the interest allocation rules. Mutual savings banks, building and loan associations, and cooperative banks can deduct the amounts paid or credited to the accounts of depositors as dividends, interest, or earnings. See section 591. Do not deduct the following interest. · Interest on indebtedness incurred or continued to purchase or carry obligations if the interest is wholly exempt from income tax. For exceptions, see section 265(b). · For cash basis taxpayers, prepaid interest allocable to years following the current tax year. For example, a cash basis calendar year taxpayer who in 2008 prepaid interest allocable to any period after 2008 can deduct only the amount allocable to 2008. · Interest and carrying charges on straddles. Generally, these amounts must be capitalized. See section 263(g). · Interest on debt allocable to the production of designated property by a corporation for its own use or for sale. The corporation must capitalize this interest. Also capitalize any interest on debt allocable to an asset used to produce the property.

Do not include salaries and wages deductible elsewhere on the return, such as amounts included in officers' compensation, cost of goods sold, elective contributions to a section 401(k) cash or deferred arrangement, or amounts contributed under a salary reduction SEP agreement or a SIMPLE IRA plan. If the corporation claims a credit for any wages paid or incurred, it may need to reduce its deduction for officer's compensation and salaries and wages. See Reducing certain expenses for which credits are allowable on page 9. If the corporation provided taxable fringe benefits to its employees, such as personal use of a car, do not deduct as wages the amount allocated for depreciation and other expenses claimed on lines 20 and 26.

Certain contributions of food made after October 2, 2008, and before January 1, 2009, are treated as a qualified contribution for purposes of the suspension of the 10% limit. See section 170(b)(3). Temporary suspension of 10% limit for contributions to Midwestern disaster area. A corporation can elect to deduct qualified cash contributions without regard to the general 10% limit, if the contributions were paid after May 1, 2008, and before January 1, 2009, to a qualified charitable organization as defined in section 170(b)(1)(A) (except for contributions to a section 509(a)(3) organization or a donor advised fund (as defined in section 4966(d)(2))), and were for relief efforts in one or more Midwestern disaster areas. The corporation must obtain contemporaneous written acknowledgment from the organization that the contribution was used (or will be used) for relief efforts in one or more Midwestern disaster areas. The total amount claimed cannot exceed 100% of the excess of the corporation's taxable income (as computed under Limitation on deduction above, substituting "100%" for "10%") over the corporation's deduction for all other charitable contributions. Any excess contributions can be carried over to the next 5 years. For more information, see Pub. 4492-B. Carryover. Charitable contributions over the 10% limitation cannot be deducted for the tax year but can be carried over to the next 5 tax years. Special rules apply if the corporation has an NOL carryover to the tax year. In figuring the charitable contributions deduction for the current tax year, the 10% limit is applied using the taxable income after taking into account any deduction for the NOL. To figure the amount of any remaining NOL carryover to later years, taxable income must be modified (see section 172(b)). To the extent that contributions are used to reduce taxable income for this purpose and increase an NOL carryover, a contributions carryover is not allowed. See section 170(d)(2)(B). Cash contributions. For contributions of cash, check, or other monetary gifts (regardless of the amount), the corporation must maintain a bank record, or a receipt, letter, or other written communication from the donee organization indicating the name of the organization, the date of the contribution, and the amount of the contribution. Contributions of $250 or more.

contributed, and, either gives a description and a good faith estimate of the value of any goods or services provided in return for the contribution or states that no goods or services were provided in return for the contribution. The acknowledgment must be obtained by the due date (including extensions) of the corporation's return, or, if earlier, the date the return is filed. Do not attach the acknowledgment to the tax return, but keep it with the corporation's records. Contributions of property other than cash. If a corporation (other than a closely held or personal service corporation) contributes property other than cash and claims over a $500 deduction for the property, it must attach a schedule to the return describing the kind of property contributed and the method used to determine its fair market value (FMV). Closely held corporations and personal service corporations must complete Form 8283, Noncash Charitable Contributions, and attach it to their returns. All other corporations generally must complete and attach Form 8283 to their returns for contributions of property (other than money) if the total claimed deduction for all property contributed was more than $5,000.

Schedule A. Cost of Goods Sold
Generally, inventories are required at the beginning and end of each tax year if the production, purchase, or sale of merchandise is an income-producing factor. However, if the corporation is a qualifying taxpayer or a qualifying small business taxpayer, it can adopt or change its accounting method to account for inventoriable items in the same manner as materials and supplies that are not incidental, unless its business is a tax shelter as defined in section 448(d)(3). A qualifying taxpayer is a taxpayer that, for each prior tax year ending after December 16, 1998, has average annual gross receipts of $1 million or less for the 3 prior tax years. A qualifying small business taxpayer is a taxpayer (a) that, for each prior tax year ending on or after December 31, 2000, has average annual gross receipts of $10 million or less for the 3 prior tax years, and (b) whose principal business activity is not an ineligible activity. Under this accounting method, inventory costs for raw materials purchased for use in producing finished goods and merchandise purchased for resale are deductible in the year the finished goods or merchandise are sold (but not before the year the corporation paid for the raw materials or merchandise, if it is also using the cash method). For additional guidance on this method of accounting for inventoriable items, see Pub. 538 and the Instructions for Form 3115. Enter amounts paid for all raw materials and merchandise during the tax year on line 2. The amount the corporation can deduct for the tax year is figured on line 8.

that conforms to the requirements of the applicable regulations cited below. However, if the corporation is using the cash method of accounting, it is required to use cost. Corporations that account for inventoriable items in the same manner as materials and supplies that are not incidental can currently deduct expenditures for direct labor and all indirect costs that would otherwise be included in inventory costs. Generally, the average cost (rolling average) method of valuing inventories does not conform to the requirements of the regulations. See Rev. Rul. 71-234, 1971-1 C.B. 148. However, if a corporation uses the average cost method for financial accounting purposes, there are two safe harbors under which this method will be deemed to clearly reflect income for federal income tax purposes. See Rev. Proc. 2008-43, 2008-30 I.R.B. 186, for details. Corporations that use erroneous valuation methods must change to a method permitted for federal income tax purposes. Use Form 3115 to make this change. On line 9a, check the method(s) used for valuing inventories. Under lower of cost or market, the term "market" (for normal goods) means the current bid price prevailing on the inventory valuation date for the particular merchandise in the volume usually purchased by the taxpayer. For a manufacturer, market applies to the basic elements of cost -- raw materials, labor, and burden. If section 263A applies to the taxpayer, the basic elements of cost must reflect the current bid price of all direct costs and all indirect costs properly allocable to goods on hand at the inventory date. Inventory may be valued below cost when the merchandise is unsalable at normal prices or unusable in the normal way because the goods are subnormal due to damage, imperfections, shopwear, etc., within the meaning of Regulations section 1.471-2(c). The goods may be valued at the bona fide selling price, minus direct cost of disposition (but not less than scrap value). Bona fide selling price means actual offering of goods during a period ending not later than 30 days after inventory date. If this is the first year the Last-in, First-out (LIFO) inventory method was either adopted or extended to inventory goods not previously valued under the LIFO method provided in section 472, attach Form 970, Application To Use LIFO Inventory Method, or a statement with the information required by Form 970. Also check the LIFO box on line 9c. On line 9d, enter the amount or the percent of total closing inventories covered under section 472. Estimates are acceptable. If the corporation changed or extended its inventory method to LIFO and had to Instructions for Form 1120

· Any other method approved by the IRS

write up the opening inventory to cost in the year of election, report the effect of the write-up as other income (line 10, page 1), proportionately over a 3-year period that begins with the year of the LIFO election (section 472(d)). Note. Corporations using the LIFO method that make an S corporation election or transfer LIFO inventory to an S corporation in a nonrecognition transaction may be subject to an additional tax attributable to the LIFO recapture amount. See the instructions for Schedule J, line 10, on page 18, and line 10, Other Income, on page 8. For more information on inventory valuation methods, see Pub. 538.

(The difference between the two is the LIFO recapture tax.) Step 4. Multiply the amount figured in Step 3 by 75%. (The result is the deferred LIFO recapture tax.) How to report. Attach a schedule showing the computation of each item included in, or subtracted from, the total for line 10. On the dotted line next to line 10, specify (a) the applicable Code section, (b) the type of tax, and (c) enter the amount of tax. For example, if the corporation is deferring a $100 LIFO recapture tax, subtract this amount from the total on line 10, then enter "Section 1363-Deferred Tax-$100" on the dotted line next to line 10.

Question 4
Constructive Ownership of the Corporation
For purposes of question 4, the constructive ownership rules of section 267(c) (excluding section 267(c)(3)) apply to ownership of interests in corporate stock and ownership of interests in the profit, loss, or capital of a partnership. An interest in the corporation owned directly Instructions for Form 1120

-18-

or indirectly by or for another entity (corporation, partnership, estate, or trust) is considered to be owned proportionately by the owners (shareholders, partners, or beneficiaries) of the owning entity. Also, under section 267(c), an individual is considered to own an interest owned directly or indirectly by or for his or her family. The family of an individual includes only that individual's spouse, brothers, sisters, ancestors, and lineal descendants. An interest will be attributed from an individual under the family attribution rules only if the person to whom the interest is attributed owns a direct or an indirect interest in the corporation under section 267(c)(1) or (5). However, for purposes of these instructions, an individual will not be considered to own, under section 267(c)(2), an interest in the corporation owned, directly or indirectly, by a family member unless the individual also owns an interest in the corporation either directly or indirectly through a corporation, partnership or trust. Constructive ownership examples for questions 4 and 5 follow the instructions for questions 4b and 5b.

indirectly, through Partnership B, a 35% interest (50% of 70%) in the profit, loss, or capital of Partnership C and owns, indirectly, 35% of the voting stock of Corporation D. Corporation A owns, directly or indirectly, a 50% interest in the profit, loss, or capital of Partnership C (15% directly and 35% indirectly), and owns, directly or indirectly, 50% of the voting stock of Corporation D (15% directly and 35% indirectly). Corporation D reports in its answer to question 4a that its voting stock is owned, directly or indirectly, 50% by Corporation A and is owned, directly, 70% by Partnership B. Example 2. A owns, directly, 50% of the voting stock of Corporation X. B, the daughter of A, does not own, directly, any interest in Corporation X and does not own, indirectly, any interest in Corporation X through any entity (corporation, partnership, trust, or estate). Therefore, the family attribution rules do not apply and, for the purposes of question 4b, the 50% interest of A in Corporation X is not attributed to B. Example 3. A owns, directly, 50% of the voting stock of Corporation X. B, the daughter of A, does not own, directly, any interest in X but does own, indirectly, 10% of the voting stock of Corporation X through Trust T of which she is the sole beneficiary. No other family member of A or B owns, directly, any interest in Corporation X nor does any own, indirectly, any interest in Corporation X through any entity. Neither A nor B owns any other interest in Corporation X through any entity. For the purposes of question 4b, the 50% interest of A in the voting stock of Corporation X is attributed to B and the 10% interest of B in the voting stock of Corporation X is attributed to A. A owns, directly or indirectly, 60% of the voting stock of Corporation X, 50% directly and 10% indirectly through B. B owns, directly or indirectly, 60% of the voting stock of Corporation X (50% indirectly through A and 10% indirectly through Trust T).

Question 5a
List each foreign or domestic corporation not included on Form 851, Affiliations Schedule, in which the corporation, at the end of the tax year, owned directly 20% or more, or owned, directly or indirectly, 50% or more of the total voting power of all classes of stock entitled to vote. Indicate the name of the corporation, EIN (if any), country of incorporation, and the percentage interest owned, directly or indirectly, in the total voting power. List the parent corporation of an affiliated group of corporations filing a consolidated tax return rather than the subsidiary members except for subsidiary members in which an interest is owned, directly or indirectly, independent of the interest owned, directly or indirectly, in the parent corporation. List a corporation owned through a disregarded entity rather than the disregarded entity.

Question 5b
List each foreign or domestic partnership in which the corporation, at the end of the tax year, owned directly an interest of 20% or more, or owned, directly or indirectly, an interest of 50% or more in the profit, loss, or capital of the partnership. List each trust in which the corporation, at the end of the tax year, owned directly an interest of 20% or more, or owned, directly or indirectly, an interest of 50% or more in the trust beneficial interest. Indicate the name, EIN (if any), country of organization, and the maximum percentage interest owned, directly or indirectly, in the profit, loss, or capital of the partnership at the end of the partnership tax year, or, for a trust, the percentage interest owned in the trust beneficial interest. List a partnership or trust owned through a disregarded entity rather than the disregarded entity. Maximum percentage owned in partnership profit, loss, or capital. For the purposes of question 5b, the term "maximum percentage owned" means the highest percentage of interest in a partnership's profit, loss, or capital as of the end of the partnership's tax year, as determined under the partnership agreement, when taking into account the constructive ownership rules above. If the partnership agreement does not express the partner's share of profit, loss, and capital as fixed percentages, use a reasonable method in arriving at the percentage items for the purposes of completing question 5b. Such method must be consistent with the partnership agreement. The method used to compute a percentage share of profit, loss, and capital must be applied consistently from year to year. Maintain records to support the determination of the share of profits, losses, and share of capital. Example 4. Assuming the same facts as Example 1, Corporation A reports in its answer to question 5a that it owns, directly or indirectly, 50% of the voting stock of Corporation D. Corporation A reports in its answer to question 5b that it

Question 4a
List each foreign or domestic corporation, partnership, or trust owning, at the end of the tax year, directly 20% or more, or owning, directly or indirectly, 50% or more of the total voting power of all classes of the corporation's stock entitled to vote. Indicate the name of the entity, EIN (if any), type of entity (corporation, partnership, or trust), country of organization, and the percentage owned, directly or indirectly, of the voting stock of the corporation. For an affiliated group filing a consolidated tax return, list the parent corporation rather than the subsidiary members. List the entity owner of a disregarded entity rather than the disregarded entity. If the owner of a disregarded entity is an individual rather than an entity, list the individual under question 4b.

Question 4b
List each individual or estate owning, at the end of the tax year, directly 20% or more, or owning, directly or indirectly, 50% or more, of the total voting power of all classes of the corporation's stock entitled to vote. Indicate the name of the individual or estate, TIN (if any), country of citizenship (for an estate, the citizenship of the decedent), and the percentage owned, directly or indirectly of the voting stock of the corporation. Example 1. Corporation A owns, directly, a 50% interest in the profit, loss, or capital of Partnership B. Corporation A also owns, directly, a 15% interest in the profit, loss, or capital of Partnership C and owns, directly, 15% of the voting stock of Corporation D. Partnership B owns, directly, a 70% interest in the profit, loss, or capital of Partnership C and owns, directly, 70% of the voting stock of Corporation D. Corporation A owns, Instructions for Form 1120

Question 5
Constructive Ownership of Other Entities
For purposes of determining the corporation's constructive ownership of other entities, the constructive ownership rules of section 267(c) (excluding section 267(c)(3)) apply to ownership of interests in partnerships and trusts as well as corporate stock. Generally, if an entity (a corporation, partnership, or trust) is owned, directly or indirectly, by or for another entity (corporation, partnership, estate, or trust), the owned entity is considered to be owned proportionately by or for the owners (shareholders, partners, or beneficiaries) of the owning entity.
