General information
Who must file
Any corporation taxable under Articles 9-A, 13, 32, and 33, whose federal taxable income has been changed or corrected by a final determination of the Commissioner of Internal Revenue, must file Form CT-3360 (Tax Law sections 211.3, 295, 1462(e), and 1515(e)). The corporation must also file an amended return reflecting the federal changes. For definitions of change in federal taxable income and final determination, see 20 NYCRR section 6-1.3.

Entering dates
Unless you are specifically directed to use a different format, enter dates in the mm-dd-yy format (using dashes and not slashes).

Line instructions
Complete Schedules A and B first, then use lines 1 through 13 to compute your balance due or overpayment. Line A -- Make your check or money order payable in United States funds. We will accept a foreign check or foreign money order only if payable through a United States bank or if marked Payable in U.S. funds.

When to file
If the change in federal taxable income results in a deficiency of franchise tax, you must file Form CT-3360 within 90 days (or 120 days if making a combined return) after the date of final federal determination. If Form CT-3360 is not filed within that time, additional charges will be assessed on any deficiency computed on this form. If a change in federal taxable income results in an overpayment of franchise tax, you must file Form CT-3360 within 90 days (120 days if making a combined return) after the date of final federal determination. If Form CT-3360 is filed within 90 days (120 days in the case of a combined return) of the date of final federal determination, no interest will be paid if the Tax Department credits or refunds the overpayment within three months from the date Form CT-3360 is filed. If the Tax Department does not credit or refund the overpayment within three months, interest will accrue from the filing date of Form CT-3360 to a date preceding the date of the refund check by not more than 30 days. If Form CT-3360 is not filed within two years and 90 days (or two years and 120 days if making a combined return) from the date of final federal determination, no credit or refund will be allowed. Any refund or credit of an overpayment of franchise tax will not be considered filed until Form CT-3360 and the corresponding franchise tax return are in processible form.

Computation of balance due or overpayment
Line 1 ­ If the amount on line 16 is a deficiency, enter it here and complete lines 2 through 8. If it is an overpayment, enter 0 on lines 1 through 8 and continue with line 9. Line 4 ­ Compute interest payable at the applicable interest rate, from the original due date of the franchise tax return to the date of payment (Tax Law section 1084). Line 5 ­ Additional charges (Tax Law section 1085) A. If you do not file a return when due, determined with regard to any extension of time for filing, add to the tax 5% per month up to 25% (section 1085(a)(1)(A)). B. If you do not file a return within 60 days of the due date, the addition to tax in item A above cannot be less than the smaller of $100 or 100% of the amount required to be shown as tax (section 1085(a)(1)(B)). C. If you do not pay the tax shown on a return, add to the tax ½% per month up to 25% (section 1085(a)(2)). D. The total of the additional charges in items A and C above may not exceed 5% for any one month except as provided for in item B above (section 1085(a)). If you think you are not liable for these additional charges, attach a statement to your return explaining the delay in filing, payment, or both (section 1085). Note: You may compute your penalty and interest by accessing our Web site and clicking on Online Tax Center, or you may call and we will compute the penalty and interest for you (see Need help?).
