General Instructions
What's New
Utah individual tax law changed for 2008. The dual tax calculation system used in 2007 no longer applies. The following summary shows changes on your 2008 Utah return. · The Utah tax rate for 2008 is a single rate of 5 percent. · Some previous deductions were repealed and are no longer available, such as one-half the federal tax, disabled dependent exemption, adoption expenses, health insurance premiums, and long-term care insurance premiums. · Other deductions have been changed to nonrefundable credits, such as personal exemptions (except for the disabled dependent exemption) and the standard or itemized deductions (page 7), Utah Educational Savings Plan contributions (page 9), Medical Care Savings Plan contributions (page 9), retirement exclusion/deduction (page 9), and capital gain transactions (page 9). · Use new form, TC-40W, to report your Utah withholding tax. TC-40W replaces forms W-2, 1099, TC-675R, and a Schedule K-1 for a nonresident shareholder. Do not attach these withholding tax forms to your Utah return. Failure to complete the TC-40W may result in processing delays or disallowance of the withholding tax credit. · Some Utah forms have been re-numbered. The Income Tax Supplemental Schedule is now TC-40A, formerly TC-40S. The Credit for Income Tax Paid to Another State, is now TC-40S, formerly TC-40A. The Non and Part-year Resident Utah Income Schedule is now TC-40B, formerly TC-40C. And the Retirement Credit Schedule is now TC-40C, formerly TC-40B.

When to File and Pay
You must file your return and pay any income tax due: 1. By April 15, 2009, if you file on a 2008 calendar year basis (tax year ends December 31, 2008); or 2. By the 15th day of the fourth month following the close of the fiscal year, if you file on a fiscal year basis. If the due date falls on a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday, the due date becomes the next business day. All Utah income taxes for the year 2008 must be paid by the due date. If your return is not filed on time or all income tax due is not paid by the due date, you may be subject to penalties and interest. (See Penalties and Interest instructions on page 3.) Utah does not require quarterly estimated tax payments. Prepayments may be made at any time by sending your payment with form TC-546, Individual Income Tax Prepayment Coupon, or by paying online at paymentexpress.utah.gov. See additional instructions below.

Extension of Time to File

TIPan extension of time to file your tax return.

There is NO extension of time to pay your taxes ­ only

You are automatically allowed an extension of up to six months to file your return without filing an extension form. However, if the prepayment requirements (see next paragraph) are not met on or before the original due date (April 15th), penalties will be assessed. See Penalties and Interest instructions on page 3. All extension returns must be filed by October 15, 2009.

Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA)
VITA volunteers provide free tax preparation service to low-income and elderly taxpayers. Some VITA sites can file electronically. To find the closest VITA site call 2-1-1.

The required prepayment must equal: · ·

TIPAll prepayments are due on or before April 15, 2009.
Ninety percent (90%) of the tax due for 2008 (TC-40 line 26 plus line 29); or One hundred percent (100%) of your 2007 Utah tax liability (line 18 plus line 21 of your 2007 Utah return).

Federal Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC)
The federal earned income tax credit is a refundable federal (not Utah) tax credit for certain people who work and have earned income. The credit can mean a larger refund or a reduction in the tax you owe on your federal return. To see if you qualify for this federal credit, check the IRS website at www.irs.gov/individuals/article/ 0,,id=130102,00.html, or call the IRS at 1-800-829-1040.

Who Must File
1. Every Utah resident individual who is required to file a federal income tax return; 2. Every non or part-year resident individual having income from Utah sources who is required to file a federal return; and 3. Taxpayers requesting a refund of any overpayment of income tax regardless of the amount of income. If you must file a Utah return, first complete your federal return, even if you're not required to file with the IRS. Information from the federal return is needed to complete your Utah return. Income Tax Exemption: You may be exempt from Utah individual income tax if your federal adjusted gross income is less than the sum of your federal standard deduction and federal personal exemptions for the taxable year. See instructions for line 9 on page 7.

A prepayment may be in the form of withholding (W-2, TC-675R, 1099-R, etc.), payments applied from previous year refunds, tax credit carryover, and/or payment made on or before the tax due date using form TC-546, Individual Income Tax Prepayment Coupon. Interest will be assessed on unpaid tax from the original filing due date until the tax is paid in full. Penalties may also be assessed.

Where to File
Mail your return and/or payment using the envelope in this booklet. If you don't have a preprinted envelope, refer to the correct mailing addresses on page 1.

What to Attach and What to Keep
Include the following with your TC-40. Also, keep copies of these with your tax records. · Withholding Forms: You are no longer required to attach forms W-2, 1099-R, 1099-MISC, etc. showing Utah withholding tax for which you are claiming credit and TC-675R showing mineral withholding tax. These withholding forms are now listed on the new TC-40W and submitted with your return. Keep copies of all the withholding forms with your tax records for future reference.

3
Failure to complete the TC-40W with all required information when claiming Utah withholding tax may result in processing delays or the withholding tax credit being disallowed. · Utah Schedules: Attach schedules TC-40A, TC-40B, TC-40C, TC-40S, and/or TC-40W, if applicable. · Other Adjustments: If any equitable adjustments are entered on TC-40A, Part 1, code 69 or Part 2, code 79, attach a separate explanation. · Other Forms: Attach a copy of federal form 8379 to the front of your Utah return if claiming provisions of an injured spouse. Also, include a Utah TC-40LIS if you are a building project owner of a low-income housing unit. Do not send a copy of your federal return, credit schedules (other than TC-40C and TC-40S), worksheets, or other documentation with your Utah return. Keep these, along with any receipts, to support any entry reported on your return. You may be asked to furnish this information later to verify entries on your Utah return. 2. Is domiciled in Utah for any period of time during the taxable year, but only for the duration of that period; 3. Even though domiciled outside Utah, maintains a permanent place of abode within Utah and spends 183 or more days of the taxable year within Utah. This does not apply to military personnel or their spouses who are in Utah on military assignment, unless they are Utah residents. All income received during the period of Utah residency is taxable in Utah, regardless of the source of that income.

Part-Year Resident Defined
A part-year resident is an individual who is domiciled in Utah for part of the year and is domiciled outside Utah for part of the year. All income received during the period of Utah residency is taxable in Utah, regardless of the source of that income. Income from Utah sources is taxable in Utah during the period of nonresidency.

Nonresident Defined
A nonresident individual is one who was not in Utah or was in Utah for temporary purposes for less than 183 days during the taxable year. Income received by a nonresident from Utah sources is taxable in Utah.

Rounding Off to Whole Dollars
Round off cents to the nearest whole dollar. Round down if cents are under 50 cents; round up if cents are 50 cents and above. Do not enter cents anywhere on the return.

Deceased Taxpayer Return
A return must be filed for a deceased individual who would have been required to file an income tax return. The personal representative, executor, administrator, legal representative, or survivor must sign and file the final return and any other returns still due. Persons, other than a surviving spouse, claiming a refund on behalf of the deceased, must attach form TC-131, Statement of Person Claiming Refund Due a Deceased Taxpayer, to the front of the return. Also, see pages 5 and 16 for additional instructions for deceased taxpayers.

Penalties and Interest
PENALTIES Utah law (UC §59-1-401) provides penalties for failure to file tax returns by the due date, failure to pay tax due on time, failure to make sufficient prepayment on extension returns, and failure to file information returns or supporting schedules. Details of these penalties, along with a list of additional penalties, can be found at tax.utah.gov/ billing/penaltyinterest.html and in Pub 58, Utah Penalty and Interest, available at tax.utah.gov/forms. You may calculate penalties by using the online Penalty and Interest Calculator at tax.utah.gov/picalc. INTEREST (In addition to penalties due) Interest will be assessed on any underpayment from the original due date until any outstanding liability is paid in full. The interest rate for most taxes and fees administered by the Tax Commission for the 2009 calendar year is 5 percent. Use the online Penalty and Interest Calculator at tax.utah. gov/picalc or follow the instructions in Pub 58, Utah Penalty and Interest, available at tax.utah.gov/forms to assist you.

Military Personnel
1. Residents: Utah residents who enter military service do not lose their Utah residency or domicile solely by being absent due to military orders. They still must file a Utah income tax return on all income, regardless of the source. If income tax is required to be paid to another state on nonmilitary income, a credit may be allowed for the tax paid to the other state. If claiming this credit, complete and attach form TC-40S, Credit for Income Tax Paid to Another State. 2. Nonresidents: Nonresidents stationed in Utah solely due to military orders are not subject to Utah tax on their military pay. However, nonresident personnel or members of their family residing in Utah and receiving income from Utah sources, other than active duty military pay, are required to file a Utah income tax return and pay any tax due. See instructions on page 7 and Pub 57, Military Personnel Instructions. 3. Married couples: The spouse of a person in active military service is generally considered to have the military person's domicile and is subject to the same tax laws and rules that apply to the military person. If one spouse is a full-year Utah resident and the other spouse is a full-year nonresident, the couple may file separate Utah tax returns, even though they filed a joint federal tax return. See Special Instructions below and Pub 49, Special Instructions for Married Couples.

Domicile Defined
Domicile is the place where an individual has a permanent home and to which he intends to return after being absent. It is the place at which an individual has voluntarily fixed his habitation, not for a special or temporary purpose, but with the intent of making a permanent home. A domicile, once established, is not lost until all of the following three conditions are met: 1) a specific intent to abandon the former domicile; 2) the actual physical presence in a new domicile; and 3) the intent to remain in the new domicile permanently. For more information, see Tax Commission rules R865-9I-2 and R884-24P-52. These can found on our website at tax. utah.gov/research/search.html.

Generally, to qualify for a refund or credit, an amended return must be filed within three years following the date the original return was due. A return filed before the due date is considered filed on the due date.

Couples who do not qualify to use the Special Instructions must file the Utah return using the same filing status as on their federal return. To file using Special Instructions, one spouse must be a full-year Utah resident and the other spouse must be a full-year nonresident. If either spouse is a part-year resident, they cannot file using Special Instructions.

Interest earned on U. S. Government obligations issued by an agency or instrumentality of the United States is exempt from state income tax. U. S.

The U. S. Supreme Court in Smith vs. Davis, 323 U.S. 111 (1944) established the following conditions for determining if the instrument qualifies as a U. S. Government obligation: 1) the instrument must be a written document, 2) bear interest, 3) contain a binding promise by the U. S. Government to pay a specific sum on a specific date, and 4) have congressional authorization to pledge the full faith and credit of the United States in support of the promise to pay.

(17) Credit for Income Tax Paid to Another State (UC §59-10-1003) A Utah resident or part-year resident whose income is taxed by Utah and another state(s), the District of Columbia, or a possession of the United States, may be entitled to a credit against Utah income tax for the amount of tax paid to the other state(s). Part-year residents rarely qualify for this credit, as Utah apportions income and only taxes the income earned while a Utah resident. A taxpayer domiciled in Utah for part of the year and domiciled in a state, other than Utah, for part of the year, may only claim credit on the portion of income: 1. Taxable in Utah, 2. Taxed also by the other state(s), and 3. Included in "Column A - Utah" income on form TC-40B. Part-year residents must prorate the tax paid to the other state(s). The credit only applies to the portion of the actual tax paid on the income taxed in both Utah and the other state. Nonresidents do not qualify for this credit. Complete and attach form TC-40S, Credit for Income Tax Paid to Another State. If there are two or more states, use separate calculations for each state. Examples of the calculation are located at incometax.utah.gov/credits_ taxesotherstates.php. Do not use the state income tax withheld from form W-2 as the tax paid to the other state. You must complete and file the other state's return to determine the amount of taxes paid. You may be asked to furnish additional information later to verify this credit. If you are filing your Utah return electronically, you may only claim a credit for tax paid to one other state. If claiming credit for taxes paid to more than one state, you must file your Utah return on paper. Keep a signed copy of the other state's return and all related documents with your records.

Do not send form TC-40E with your return. Keep the form and all related documents with your records. This credit is for reasonable costs, including installation, of a residential energy system that supplies energy required for a residential unit in Utah. Additional residential energy systems or parts may be claimed in subsequent years as long as the total amount claimed does not exceed $2,000 per residential unit. If the residence is sold to another, who is not a business entity, before claiming the tax credit, the taxpayer may irrevocably transfer to the new owner the right to the tax credit. The principal portion of lease payments for a residential energy system may qualify for the credit if the lessor irrevocably transfers to the new owner the right to the tax credit. Any credit amount exceeding the tax owed may be carried forward for four consecutive years as a credit against Utah tax due.

30. Utah Use Tax
Use tax is required on all taxable items purchased for storage, use or consumption in Utah during the filing year, if sales and use tax was not paid at the time of purchase. Purchases include amounts paid or charged for purchases made on the Internet or through catalogs. Credit is allowed for sales or use tax paid to another state, but not a foreign country. If the tax rate in the other state is lower than Utah's rate, the taxpayer must pay the difference. If the tax rate in the other state is greater than Utah's rate, no sales or use tax credit or refund is allowed. If sales taxes were paid to more than one state, complete a worksheet for each state. Enter the sum of the use tax from each worksheet on line 30. Sales and use tax rates vary throughout Utah. Use the chart on this page to find the rate for the Utah location where the merchandise was delivered, stored, used, or consumed. If the city is not listed, use the county tax rate. The sales tax rate on grocery food purchased through the Internet or by mail order is 2 percent less than the regular sales tax rate. In order to qualify for this reduced rate, the grocery food must be for substances sold for ingestion or chewing by humans and consumed for the substance's taste or nutritional value. The reduced rate does not apply to alcoholic beverages or tobacco. For more information, see Tax Commission Publication 25, available at tax.utah.gov/forms. Enter use tax of $400 or less. If the amount exceeds $400, the purchaser is required to obtain a sales and use tax license and to pay the use tax on a sales and use tax return.
