IRS E-Services Make Taxes Easier
Now, more than ever before, businesses can enjoy the benefits of filing and paying their federal taxes electronically. Whether you rely on a tax professional or handle your own taxes, the IRS offers you convenient programs to make filing and paying taxes easier. You can e-file your Form 1120 tax return and certain other business income tax returns; Form 940 and 941 employment tax returns; Form 1099 and certain other information returns. Visit www.irs.gov/efile for more information. You can pay taxes online or by phone using the free Electronic Federal Tax Payment System (EFTPS). Visit www.eftps.gov or call 1-800-555-4477 for more information. EFTPS is required for certain corporations; see Depository Methods of Tax Payment 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 (that is, 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 may 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. Be sure to 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. Foreign corporations. If a foreign corporation maintains an office or place of business in the United States, the corporation must use one of the two methods described above. If the foreign corporation does not maintain an office or place of business in the United States, the corporation must pay the estimated tax due directly to the IRS (i.e., do not use either of the methods described above). The corporation must pay the estimated tax due by check or money order, payable to the "United States Treasury." To ensure proper crediting, enter the foreign corporation's EIN, "Form 1120-F (or 1120-FSC, if applicable) estimated tax payment," and the tax period to which the payment applies (e.g., 1st QTR 2008), on the check or money order. The payments must be sent to the Internal Revenue Service Center, P.O. Box 40901, Ogden, UT 84409.

General Instructions
Section references are to the Internal Revenue Code unless otherwise noted.

What's New
Final regulations under section 6655 provide guidance to corporations with respect to estimated tax requirements. These regulations are effective for tax years beginning after September 6, 2007. For corporations that elect to use the annualized income installment method, extraordinary items (defined in Regulations section 1.6655-2(f)(ii)) generally must be taken into account after annualizing the taxable income for the annualization period. Similar rules apply if the corporation uses the adjusted seasonal installment method. See the instructions for Schedule A.

Who Must Make Estimated Tax Payments
Corporations generally must make estimated tax payments if they expect their estimated tax (income tax less credits) to be $500 or more. S corporations must also make estimated tax payments for certain taxes. S corporations should see the instructions for Form 1120S, U.S. Income Tax Return for an S Corporation, to figure their estimated tax payments. Tax-exempt organizations subject to the unrelated business income tax and private foundations use Form 990-W, Estimated Tax on Unrelated Business Taxable Income for Tax-Exempt Organizations, to figure the amount of their estimated tax payments.

Refiguring Estimated Tax
If, after the corporation figures and deposits estimated tax, it finds that its tax liability for the year will be more or less than originally estimated, it may have to refigure its required installments. If earlier installments were underpaid, the corporation may owe a penalty. An immediate catchup payment should be made to reduce the amount of any penalty resulting from the underpayment of any earlier installments, whether caused by a change in estimate, failure to make a deposit, or a mistake.

When To Make Estimated Tax Payments
The installments generally are due by the 15th day of the 4th, 6th, 9th, and 12th months of the tax year. If any due date falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday, the installment is due on the next regular business day.

Specific Instructions
Line 1. Qualified Personal Service Corporations
A qualified personal service corporation is taxed at a flat rate of 35% on taxable income. A corporation is a qualified personal service corporation if it meets both of the following tests.

Underpayment of Estimated Tax
A corporation that does not make estimated tax payments when due may be subject to an underpayment penalty for the period of underpayment.

Substantially all of the corporation's activities involve the performance of services in the fields of health, law, engineering, architecture, accounting, actuarial science, performing arts, or consulting.
At least 95% of the corporation's stock, by value, is owned, directly or indirectly, by employees performing the services listed above, retired employees who had performed such services, any estate of an employee or retiree described above, or any person who acquired the stock of the corporation as a result of the death of an employee or retiree (but only for the 2-year period beginning on the date of the employee's or retiree's death). See Temporary Regulations section 1.448-1T(e) for details.

Overpayment of Estimated Tax
A corporation that has overpaid its estimated tax may apply for a quick refund if the overpayment is at least 10% of its expected income tax liability and at least $500. To apply, file Form 4466, Corporation Application for Quick Refund of Overpayment of Estimated Tax, after the end of the tax year and before the corporation files its income tax return. Form 4466 may not be filed later than the 15th day of the 3rd month after the end of the tax year.

Lines 2, 5, and 8. Members of a Controlled Group
Members of a controlled group enter on line 2 the smaller of (a) the amount on line 1 or (b) their share of the $50,000 amount. On line 5, enter the smaller of (a) the amount on line 4 or (b) their share of the $25,000 amount. On line 8, enter the smaller of (a) the amount on line 7 or (b) their share of the $9,925,000 amount. Equal apportionment plan. If no apportionment plan is adopted, members of a controlled group must divide the amount in each taxable income bracket equally among themselves. For example, Controlled Group AB consists of Corporation A and Corporation B. They do not elect an apportionment plan. Therefore, each corporation is entitled to: $25,000 (one-half of $50,000) on line 2, $12,500 (one-half of $25,000) on line 5, and $4,962,500 (one-half of $9,925,000) on line 8. Unequal apportionment plan. Members of a controlled group can elect an unequal apportionment plan and divide the taxable income brackets as they want. There is no need for consistency among taxable income brackets. Any member may be entitled to all, some, or none of the taxable income bracket. However, the total amount for all members cannot be more than the total amount in each taxable income bracket.

Depository Methods of Tax Payment
Some corporations (described below) are required to electronically deposit all depository taxes, including estimated tax payments.
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 2008 if: The total deposits of such taxes in 2006 were more than $200,000 or The corporation was required to use EFTPS in 2007. If the corporation is required to use EFTPS and fails to do so, it may be subject to a 10% penalty. If the corporation is not required to use EFTPS, it may participate voluntarily. See IRS E-Services Make Taxes Easier above. Depositing on time. For EFTPS deposits to be made timely, the corporation must initiate the transaction at least 1 business day before the date the deposit is due. 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 only by calling 1-800-829-4933. Be sure to have your employer identification number (EIN) ready when you call.

Line 12. Additional 5% Tax
Members of a controlled group are treated as one group to figure the applicability of the additional 5% tax and the additional 3% tax. If an additional tax applies, each member will pay that tax based on the part of the amount

Form 1120-W (WORKSHEET) 2008 used in each taxable income bracket to reduce that member's tax. See section 1561(a). Each member of the group must enter on line 12 its share of the smaller of (a) 5% of the taxable income in excess of $100,000 or (b) $11,750.

Page

Line 13. Additional 3% Tax
If the additional 3% tax applies, each member of the controlled group must enter on line 13 its share of the smaller of (a) 3% of the taxable income in excess of $15 million or (b) $100,000. See the instructions for line 12 above.

Line 15. Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT)
Note. Skip this line if the corporation is treated as a "small corporation" exempt from the AMT under section 55(e). AMT is generally the excess of tentative minimum tax (TMT) for the tax year over the regular tax for the tax year. See section 55 for definitions of TMT and regular tax. A limited amount of the foreign tax credit, as refigured for the AMT, is allowed in computing the TMT.

If Schedule A is not used, follow the instructions below to figure the amounts to enter on line 25. If Schedule A is used, follow the instructions below to figure the amounts to enter on line 35 of Schedule A. If line 22 is smaller than line 23a: Enter 25% of line 22 in columns (a) through (d) of line 25. If line 23a is smaller than line 22: Enter 25% of line 23a in column (a) of line 25. In column (b), determine the amount to enter as follows: 1. Subtract line 23a from line 22, 2. Add the result to the amount on line 22, and 3. Multiply the result in 2 above by 25% and enter the result in column (b). Enter 25% of line 22 in columns (c) and (d).

Schedule A
If only the adjusted seasonal installment method (Part I) is used, complete Parts I and III of Schedule A. If only the annualized income installment method (Part II) is used, complete Parts II and III. If both methods are used, complete all three parts. Enter in each column on line 25, page 1, the amounts from the corresponding column of line 38. If Schedule A is used for any payment date, it must be used for all payment dates. Do not figure any required installment until after the end of the month preceding the due date for that installment.

Line 17. Tax Credits
For information on tax credits the corporation can take, see the instructions for Form 1120, Schedule J, lines 5a through 5e, or the instructions for the applicable lines and schedule of other income tax returns.

Line 19. Other Taxes
For information on other taxes the corporation may owe, see the instructions for Form 1120, Schedule J, line 9, or the instructions for the applicable line and schedule of other income tax returns.

CAUTION

Line 21. Credit for Federal Tax Paid on Fuels
See Form 4136, Credit for Federal Tax Paid on Fuels, to find out if the corporation qualifies to take this credit. Also include on line 21 any credit the corporation is claiming under section 4682(g)(2) for tax on ozone-depleting chemicals.

Extraordinary items. Generally, under the annualized income installment method, extraordinary items must be taken into account after annualizing the taxable income for the annualization period. Similar rules apply in determining taxable income under the adjusted seasonal installment method. An extraordinary item includes: Any item identified in Regulations section 1.1502-76(b)(2)(ii)(C)(1), (2), (3), (4), (7) and (8); A net operating loss carryover; A section 481(a) adjustment; and Net gain or loss from the disposition of 25% or more of the fair market value of the corporation's business assets during the tax year. These extraordinary items must be accounted for in the appropriate annualization period. However, a net operating loss deduction and a section 481(a) adjustment (unless the corporation makes the alternative choice under Regulations section 1.6655-2(f)(ii)(C)) are treated as extraordinary items occurring on the first day of the tax year in which the item is taken into account in determining taxable income. De minimis rule. Extraordinary items identified above that are less than $1,000,000 (other than a net operating loss carryover or a section 481(a) adjustment) may be annualized using the general rules of Regulations section 1.6655-2(f), or if the corporation chooses, may be taken into account after annualizing the taxable income for the annualization period. For more information regarding extraordinary items, see Regulations section 1.6655-2(f)(ii) and the examples in Regulations section 1.6655-2(f)(vii). Also see Regulations section 1.6655-3(d)(3). In Part II of Schedule A, make the appropriate adjustments to annualized taxable income before figuring the estimated tax for each reporting period. Similar adjustments must be made also, if applicable, to Part I of Schedule A if the adjusted seasonal installment method applies.

Line 23a. 2007 Tax
Figure the corporation's 2007 tax in the same way that line 22 of this worksheet was figured, using the taxes and credits from the 2007 income tax return. Large corporations, see the instructions for line 25 below. If a return was not filed for the 2007 tax year showing a liability for at least some amount of tax or the 2007 tax year was for less than 12 months, do not complete line 23a. Instead, skip line 23a and enter the amount from line 22 on line 23b.

Line 24. Installment Due Dates
Calendar-year taxpayers: Enter 4-15-2008, 6-16-2008, 9-15-2008, and 12-15-2008, respectively, in columns (a) through (d). Fiscal-year taxpayers: Enter the 15th day of the 4th, 6th, 9th, and 12th months of your tax year in columns (a) through (d). If the due date falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday, enter the next business day.

Line 25. Required Installments
Payments of estimated tax should reflect any 2007 overpayment that the corporation chose to credit against its 2008 tax. The overpayment is credited against unpaid required installments in the order in which the installments are required to be paid. Annualized income installment method and/or adjusted seasonal installment method. If the corporation's income is expected to vary during the year because, for example, it operates its business on a seasonal basis, it may be able to lower the amount of one or more required installments by using the annualized income installment method and/or the adjusted seasonal installment method. For example, a ski shop, which receives most of its income during the winter months, may be able to benefit from using one or both of these methods in figuring one or more of its required installments. To use one or both of these methods, complete Schedule A on pages 2 and 3. If Schedule A is used for any payment date, it must be used for all payment due dates. To arrive at the amount of each required installment, Schedule A automatically selects the smallest of (a) the annualized income installment (if applicable), (b) the adjusted seasonal installment (if applicable), or (c) the regular installment under section 6655(d)(1) (increased by any recapture of a reduction in a required installment under section 6655(e)(1)(B)). Large corporations. A large corporation is a corporation that had, or whose predecessor had, taxable income of $1 million or more for any of the 3 tax years immediately preceding the 2008 tax year, or if less, the number of years the corporation has been in existence. For this purpose, taxable income is modified to exclude net operating loss and capital loss carrybacks or carryovers. Members of a controlled group, as defined in section 1563, must divide the $1 million amount among themselves according to rules similar to those in section 1561.

Part I. Adjusted Seasonal Installment Method
Complete this part only if the corporation's base period percentage for any 6 consecutive months of the tax year equals or exceeds 70% (.70). Figure the base period percentage using the 6-month period in which the corporation normally receives the largest part of its taxable income. The base period percentage for any period of 6 consecutive months is the average of the three percentages figured by dividing the taxable income for the corresponding 6-consecutive-month period in each of the 3 preceding tax years by the taxable income for each of their respective tax years. Example. An amusement park with a calendar year as its tax year receives the largest part of its taxable income during the 6-month period from May through October. To compute its base period percentage for this 6-month period in 2008, the amusement park figures its taxable income for each May­October period in 2005, 2006, and 2007. It then divides the taxable income for each May­October period by the total taxable income for that particular tax year. The resulting percentages are 69% (.69) for May­October 2005, 74% (.74) for May­October 2006, and 67% (.67) for May­October 2007. Because the average of 69%, 74%, and 67% is 70%, the base period percentage for May through October 2008 is 70%. Therefore, the amusement park qualifies for the adjusted seasonal installment method.

Line 2
If the corporation has certain extraordinary items, special rules apply. Do not include on line 2 the de minimis extraordinary items that the corporation chooses to include on line 9b. See Extraordinary items on page 5.

Line 15. Alternative Minimum Tax
The corporation may owe AMT unless it will be a "small corporation" exempt from the AMT under section 55(e) for its 2008 tax year. To figure the AMT, use the 2007 Form 4626 and its instructions as a guide. Figure alternative minimum taxable income (AMTI) using income and deductions for the months shown in the column headings above line 1. Divide the AMTI by the amounts on line 8 before subtracting the exemption amount. Multiply that result by 20% and subtract any AMT foreign tax credit plus the amount on line 10 to arrive at the AMT. For columns (a) through (c), multiply the AMT by the amount shown on line 13.

Line 23b
If the corporation has certain extraordinary items of $1,000,000 or more, a net operating loss deduction, or a section 481(a) adjustment, special rules apply. Include these amounts on line 23b. Also include on line 23b the de minimis extraordinary items that the corporation chooses to exclude from line 21. See Extraordinary items on page 5.

Line 25. Alternative Minimum Tax
The corporation may owe AMT unless it will be a "small corporation" exempt from the AMT under section 55(e) for its 2008 tax year. To figure the AMT, use the 2007 Form 4626 and its instructions as a guide. Figure AMTI using income and deductions for the annualization period entered in each column on line 20. Multiply the AMTI by the annualization amounts on line 22 before subtracting the exemption amount. Multiply that result by 20% and subtract any AMT foreign tax credit plus the amount on line 24 to arrive at the AMT.

Line 16. Other Taxes
For the same taxes used to figure line 19 of Form 1120-W, figure the amounts for the months shown in the column headings above line 1.

Line 18. Credits
Enter the credits to which the corporation is entitled for the months shown in the column headings above line 1.

Line 26. Other Taxes
For the same taxes used to figure line 19 of Form 1120-W, figure the amounts for the months shown on line 20.

Part II. Annualized Income Installment Method Line 20. Annualization Periods
Enter in the space on line 20, columns (a) through (d), respectively, the annualization periods that the corporation is using, based on the options listed below.
