Instructions for Schedule J
(Form 1118)
(Rev. December 2020)
Section references are to the Internal Revenue
Code unless otherwise noted.
If the corporation has more than
one separate category of "other
income," expand Schedule J as
among other applicable separate
categories.
To determine each pro rata share:
1. Add all of the separate limitation
loss amounts entered across line 1. Then
add all of the separate limitation income
amounts entered across line 1.
2. If the combined separate limitation
losses for the tax year do not exceed the
combined separate limitation income for
the tax year, the pro rata share of each
separate limitation loss to allocate to each
category with positive income is as
follows:

which section 901(j) applies (each
sanctioned country is a separate category
of income).
What’s New
On Schedule J (Form 1118), the column
headings and lines used to report "other
income" have been revised to require
taxpayers to identify each item of other
income. In these instructions, the
Computer-Generated Schedule section,
below, has been revised to indicate how
each item of other income is to be
identified.
An item of income resourced under a
•
tax treaty (see Regulations section
1.904-4(k) for rules regarding grouping of
items of treaty resourced income into
separate categories).
(Separate limitation income /
Combined separate limitation income from
all categories with positive income) x
Separate limitation loss being allocated
If the corporation has more than one
separate category of “other income,” add
a column (and, in some cases, a line, if
completing Part l, line 2; Part I, line 9;
and/or Part II) for each additional separate
category of other income. Each column
and line must be identified as follows. With
respect to the 901(j) category of income,
the category must be identified as “901(j) -
name of sanctioned country.” With respect
to the resourced by treaty category of
income, the category must be identified as
“RBT - name of treaty country and
3. If the combined separate limitation
losses for the tax year exceed the
combined separate limitation income for
the tax year, the pro rata share of each
separate limitation loss to allocate to each
category with positive income is as
follows:
(Separate limitation loss being
allocated / Combined separate limitation
losses from all categories with losses) x
Separate limitation income in a given
category
If separate limitation losses can be
allocated, enter the total amounts
allocated in the bold-outlined boxes as
positive numbers. Enter each separate
amount allocated to a given category
across the same line under the
appropriate column heading to which it
was allocated.

separate limitation income or (losses) in
determining the numerator of the limitation
fraction for each separate category.
Use Part II to show the year-end

balances of future separate limitation
income that must be recharacterized as
income in other separate categories (as
the result of current year or prior year
separate limitation losses that were
allocated to reduce income in those other
separate categories).

example, if you are filing a Form 1118 for
separate category code RBT-PAS with
respect to treaty Country X, you would
enter “RBT - Country X, Passive.”
Furthermore, for each new line, the
amounts going across the line must equal
zero.
Use Part III to show: (a) the balances in
•
the corporation's overall foreign loss
accounts at the beginning of the tax year,
(b) any current year adjustments, and (c)
the balances in the overall foreign loss
accounts at the end of the tax year.
Note. The numbers entered across any
given line should equal zero.
Specific Instructions
If a separate limitation loss in one
category offsets income in a second
category and the second category has a
separate limitation loss account balance
that has not been recaptured with respect
to the first category, then the two offsetting
separate limitation loss account balances
are netted for purposes of determining the
amount of income in the second category
that is subject to recharacterization on
line 9, Part I, if any, and for purposes of
determining the year-end balances in both
categories reported in Part II.

This loss may be carried over or back to
other tax years according to the rules of
section 172.
Example 1. Corporation X has a
separate limitation loss of $2,000 in its
general category (line 1, column (iv)) and
separate limitation income of $4,000 in its
passive category (line 1, column (iii)). In
addition, the corporation has separate
limitation income of $1,000 in its treaty
resourced general category income

U.S. source losses in excess of the
combined line 3 income for a tax year is
treated as a net operating loss that may be
carried back or forward to other tax years
using the rules of section 172.
If the corporation disposes of property
that was used predominantly in a foreign
trade or business and that generated
foreign source income in the same
separate category as the applicable
overall foreign loss account, and there is a
balance in the account after amounts are
recaptured under section 904(f)(1), the
corporation may be required to recapture
an additional amount of the overall foreign
loss account, whether or not gain would

Enter the total amount of recapture for all
categories of separate limitation income
as a positive number in column (vi).
To compute the portion of the $2,000
separate limitation loss that is allocable to
passive category income, Corporation X
divides the $4,000 of income by $5,000
(the combined separate limitation income
from all separate categories with positive
income). The result of 80% is multiplied by
the separate limitation loss of $2,000.
Corporation X enters the product of
dispositions of property that require
additional recognition of income under

consolidated loss recapture rules. See
Regulations sections 1.904(f)-2(d)(4) and
1.904(g)-3(i) and (j).
Note. The numbers entered across this
line should equal zero.
The total amount of current year
separate limitation income subject to
recapture is the smaller of the aggregate
amount of maximum potential recapture in
all overall foreign loss accounts, or 50% of
all amounts entered on Part I, line 6,
columns (i) through (v). The maximum
potential recapture amount for the overall
foreign loss account in any given category
is the smaller of the current year separate
limitation income in that category (the
applicable amount entered in Part I,
line 6), or the balance in the applicable
overall foreign loss account (the

$1,600 on line 2d, column (iii).
To compute the portion of the $2,000
separate limitation loss that is allocable to
treaty resourced general category income,
Corporation X divides the $1,000 of
separate limitation income by $5,000. The
result of 20% is multiplied by the separate
limitation loss of $2,000. Corporation X
enters the product of $400 on line 2d,
column (v).
Example 2. Corporation Y has $1,400
of current year separate limitation income,
$1,000 in its general category (Part I,
line 6, column (iv)) and $400 in its passive
category (Part I, line 6, column (iii)). The
corporation has overall foreign loss
accounts of $600 in its general category
and $800 in its passive category (Part III,
line 1, columns (iv) and (iii)). The
applicable line 1 amount in Part III). If the
aggregate amount of maximum potential
recapture in all overall foreign loss
Corporation X enters $0 (negative
$2,000 plus positive $2,000) on line 3,
column (iv); $2,400 ($4,000 minus $1,600)
on line 3, column (iii); and $600 ($1,000
minus $400) on line 3, column (v).
maximum potential recapture for the
overall foreign loss account in the general
category is $600 (the smaller of current
year income of $1,000 in that category or
the overall foreign loss account balance of
$600). The maximum potential recapture
for the overall foreign loss account in the
passive category is $400 (the smaller of
current year income of $400 in that
accounts exceeds 50% of all amounts
entered on Part I, line 6, columns (i)
through (v), then the amount of current
year separate limitation income in each
separate category subject to recapture is
computed using the following formula:
Line 4. In columns (i) through (v), enter
the overall foreign losses for the tax year
(from line 3) as positive numbers if they
have reduced U.S. source income for the
tax year. In column (vi), enter the total
amount of overall foreign losses that have
reduced U.S. source income for the tax
year as a negative number.
Total recapture amount x (Maximum
potential recapture amount for the overall
foreign loss account in the separate
category / Aggregate amount of maximum
potential recapture in all overall foreign
loss accounts)

revocable election to recapture a greater
portion of the balance in an overall foreign
category or the overall foreign loss
account balance of $800). The aggregate
amount of maximum potential recapture in

income that was reduced by the prior year
overall domestic loss. Recapture
Note. Recharacterization of separate
limitation income does not result in
recharacterizing any tax. The rules of
Regulations section 1.904-6 apply on an

line should equal zero.
Example 3. Assume the same facts as
in Example 1 on page 1. Also assume
that, in a subsequent tax year, Corporation
X has $1,500 of income in its general
category (on line 8, column (iv), of its
Schedule J).
The total amount of any current year
U.S. income subject to recapture is the
smaller of the total balance in the
applicable overall domestic loss accounts
(the applicable column(s) in Part IV, line 1)
or 50% of the amount entered on Part I,
line 6.
Line 9. If a separate limitation loss was
allocated in a prior tax year and the
corporation has income during the current
tax year in the separate category from
which the loss was allocated, that current
year income (if it was not previously
recharacterized) must be recharacterized
as income of the separate category(ies) to
which the loss was allocated in the prior
year(s) (section 904(f)(5)).
Since there is not enough general
category income to recapture the entire
$2,000 prior-year balance remaining to be
recaptured, Corporation X will prorate the
$1,500 of general category income in that
subsequent year as follows.
Note. Under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act,
section 904(g)(5) allows for an election to
recapture up to 100% of any pre-2018
unused overall domestic loss from a prior
year, as opposed to the 50% stated in the
previous paragraph. This election is
applicable for any taxable year beginning
after December 31, 2017, and before
January 1, 2028.
To compute the portion to be
•
recharacterized as passive category
income, Corporation X should:
1. Divide the $1,600 remaining to be
recharacterized from general category
income to passive category income by the
$2,000 remaining to be recharacterized
from general category income to all
separate categories;
Note. The amount of current year income
in a category subject to recharacterization
is limited to the year-end balance in Part II
for that category as reported on the prior
tax year Schedule J, reduced by any
netting of offsetting separate limitation
loss accounts as provided for in the
instructions for Part I, line 2.

was allocated to more than one separate
category and there is not enough current
year income in the separate category from

recharacterized as income of the separate
categories on a pro rata basis in the
following manner:
1. Divide the $400 remaining to be
recharacterized from general category
income to resourced treaty income by
$2,000;
recharacterize all remaining balances,
then the current year income must be
recharacterized as income of the other
separate categories on a pro rata basis in
the following manner:
Current year income in separate
category from which losses were
previously allocated x (Amount remaining
to be recharacterized as income of a given
separate category / Amounts remaining to
