Expiration of 100% business meal expense deduc-  
tion. The temporary 100% business meal expenses  
deduction for food and beverages provided by a  
restaurant does not apply to amounts paid or incurred  
after 2022.  
Corporate alternative minimum tax (CAMT). For tax  
years beginning after 2022, cooperatives must determine  
whether they are subject to the new CAMT and calculate  
CAMT if applicable. See the instructions for Schedule J,  
line 3. Also, see new Schedule K, Question 20.  
Elective payment election. Applicable entities and  
electing taxpayers can elect to treat certain credits as  
elective payments. Resulting overpayment may result in  
refunds. See the instructions for line 30i. Also, see the  
Instructions for Form 3800.  
Relief from additions to tax for underpayments appli-  
cable to the new corporate alternative minimum tax.  
For tax year 2023, the IRS will waive the penalty for failure  
to make estimated tax payments for taxes attributable to a  
CAMT liability. Affected cooperatives must still file the  
2023 Form 2220 even if they owe no estimated tax  
penalty. However, affected cooperatives may exclude the  
CAMT tax liability when calculating the required annual  
payment on Form 2220. Affected cooperatives must also  
include an amount of estimated tax penalty on line 31 of  
Form 1120-C even if that amount is zero. Failure to follow  
these instructions could result in the cooperative receiving  
a penalty notice that will require an abatement request to  
apply the relief provided by Notice 2023-42. See Notice  
2023-42, 2023-26 I.R.B. 1085, available at IRS.gov/irb/

Instructions for Form 1120-C  
                 
Any cooperative not described in section 6072(d) must  
generally file its tax return by the 15th day of the 4th month  
after the end of its tax year. However, a cooperative with a  
fiscal tax year ending June 30 must file by the 15th day of  
the 3rd month after the end of its tax year. A cooperative  
with a short tax year ending anytime in June will be treated  
as if the short year ended on June 30, and must file by the  
15th day of the 3rd month after the end of its tax year.  
A paid preparer may sign original or amended  
returns by rubber stamp, mechanical device, or  
computer software program.  
TIP  
Paid Preparer Authorization  
If the cooperative wants to allow the IRS to discuss its  
2023 tax return with the paid preparer who signed it,  
check the “Yes” box in the signature area of the return.  
This authorization applies only to the individual whose  
signature appears in the “Paid Preparer Use Only” section  
of the cooperative's return. It does not apply to the firm, if  
any, shown in that section.  
If the due date falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or legal  
holiday, the cooperative can file on the next business day.  
Private Delivery Services  
Cooperatives can use certain private delivery services  
(PDS) designated by the IRS to meet the “timely mailing  
as timely filing” rule for tax returns. Go to IRS.gov/PDS for  
the current list of designated services.  
If the “Yes” box is checked, the cooperative is  
authorizing the IRS to call the paid preparer to answer any  
questions that may arise during the processing of its  
return. The cooperative is also authorizing the paid  
preparer to:  
The PDS can tell you how to get written proof of the  
mailing date.  
Give the IRS any information that is missing from the  
return;

CAUTION  
to mail any item to an IRS P.O. box address.  
The cooperative is not authorizing the paid preparer to  
receive any refund check, bind the cooperative to anything  
(including any additional tax liability), or otherwise  
represent the cooperative before the IRS.  
Extension of Time To File  
File Form 7004, Application for Automatic Extension of  
Time To File Certain Business Income Tax, Information,  
and Other Returns, to request an extension of time to file.  
Generally, the cooperative must file Form 7004 by the  
regular due date of the return. See the Instructions for  
Form 7004.  
The authorization will automatically end no later than  
the due date (excluding extensions) for filing the  
cooperative's 2024 tax return. If the cooperative wants to  
expand the paid preparer's authorization or revoke the  
authorization before it ends, see Pub. 947, Practice Before  
the IRS and Power of Attorney.  
Who Must Sign  
The return must be signed and dated by:

forms signed by a receiver or trustee in bankruptcy on  
behalf of a cooperative must be accompanied by a copy of  
the order or instructions of the court authorizing signing of  
the return or form.

The cooperative must use electronic funds transfer to  
make installment payments of estimated tax.  
If, after the cooperative 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 cooperative may owe a penalty. See  
Generally, the cooperative must pay any tax due in full no  
later than the due date for filing its return (not including  
extensions). If the due date falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or  
legal holiday, the payment is due on the next day that isn't  
a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday. See the instructions  
for line 32.  
If the cooperative overpaid estimated tax, it may be able  
to get a quick refund by filing Form 4466, Corporation  
Application for Quick Refund of Overpayment of  
Electronic Deposit Requirement  
Estimated Tax. See the instructions for lines 30b and 30c.  
Cooperatives must use electronic funds transfer to make  
all federal tax deposits (such as deposits of employment,  
excise, and corporate income tax). Generally, electronic  
funds transfers are made using the Electronic Federal Tax  
Payment System (EFTPS). However, if the cooperative  
does not want to use EFTPS, it can arrange for its tax  
professional, financial institution, payroll service, or other  
trusted third party to make deposits on its behalf. Also, it  
may arrange for its financial institution to submit a  
same-day wire payment (discussed below) on its behalf.  
EFTPS is a free service provided by the Department of the  
Treasury. Services provided by a tax professional,  
financial institution, payroll service, or other third party  
may have a fee.  
See section 6655 and Pub. 542, Corporations, for more  
information on how to figure estimated taxes.  
Estimated tax penalty. A cooperative that does not  
make estimated tax payments when due may be subject  
to an underpayment penalty for the period of  
underpayment. Generally, a cooperative is subject to the  
penalty if its tax liability is $500 or more and it did not  
timely pay at least the smaller of:  
Its tax liability for the current year, or  
Its prior year's tax.  
Use Form 2220, Underpayment of Estimated Tax by  
Corporations, to see if the cooperative owes a penalty and  
to figure the amount of the penalty. If Form 2220 is  
completed, enter the penalty on line 31. See the  
instructions for line 31. Also see Relief from additions to  
To get more information about EFTPS or to enroll in  
EFTPS, visit EFTPS.gov or call 800-555-4477. To contact  
EFTPS using the Telecommunications Relay Services  
(TRS), for people who are deaf, hard of hearing, or have a  
speech disability, dial 711 and provide the TRS assistant  
the 800-555-4477 number above or 800-733-4829.  
Depositing on time. For deposits made by EFTPS to be  
on time, the cooperative must submit the deposit by 8 p.m.  
Eastern time the day before the date the deposit is due. If  
the cooperative uses a third party to make deposits on its  
behalf, they may have different cutoff times.  
Interest and Penalties  
If the cooperative receives a notice about  
penalties after it files its return, send the IRS an  
!
CAUTION  
explanation and we will determine if the  
cooperative meets reasonable cause criteria. Do not  
attach an explanation when the cooperative's return is  
filed.  
Same-day wire payment option. If the cooperative fails  
to submit a deposit transaction on EFTPS by 8 p.m.  
Eastern time the day before the date a deposit is due, it  
can still make the deposit on time by using the Federal Tax  
Collection Service (FTCS). To use the same-day wire  
payment method, the cooperative will need to make  
arrangements with its financial institution ahead of time  
regarding availability, deadlines, and costs. The  
cooperative's financial institution may charge a fee for  
payments made this way. To learn more about the  
information the cooperative will need to provide to its  
financial institution to make a same-day wire payment, go  
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 cooperative 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 tax return required  
to be filed in 2024 that is over 60 days late is the smaller of  
the tax due or $485. The penalty will not be imposed if the  
cooperative can show that the failure to file on time was  
due to reasonable cause. See Caution, earlier.  
Late payment of tax. Generally, a cooperative that does  
not pay the tax when due 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. See  
Caution, earlier.  
Estimated Tax Payments  
Generally, the following rules apply to the cooperative's  
payments of estimated tax.  
The cooperative 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 due date falls  
on a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday, the payment of the  
installment is due on the next regular business day.

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:  
Change in accounting method. Generally, the  
cooperative must get IRS consent to change either an  
overall method of accounting or the accounting treatment  
of any material item for income tax purposes. To obtain  
consent, the cooperative must generally file Form 3115,  
Application for Change in Accounting Method, during the  
tax year for which the change is requested. See the  
Instructions for Form 3115 and Pub. 538 for more  
information and exceptions. Also see the Instructions for  
Form 3115 for procedures that may apply for obtaining  
automatic consent to change certain methods of  
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;  
Form 944, Employer's ANNUAL Federal Tax Return; or  
Form 945, Annual Return of Withheld Federal Income  
accounting, non-automatic change procedures, and  
reduced Form 3115 filing requirements.  
Tax.  
Section 481(a) adjustment. If the cooperative's  
taxable income for the current tax year is figured under a  
method of accounting different from the method used in  
the preceding tax year, the cooperative may have to make  
an adjustment under section 481(a) to prevent amounts of  
income or expense from being duplicated or omitted. See  
section 481(d). Also, see the Instructions for Form 3115.  
If the net section 481(a) adjustment is positive, report  
the ratable portion on Form 1120-C, line 9, as other  
income. If the net section 481(a) adjustment is negative,  
report it on Form 1120-C, line 23, as a deduction.  
The trust fund recovery penalty may be imposed on all  
persons who are determined by the IRS to have been  
responsible for collecting, accounting for, or paying over  
these taxes, and who acted willfully in not doing so. The  
penalty is equal to the unpaid trust fund tax. See the  
Instructions for Form 720; Pub. 15 (Circular E), Employer's  
Tax Guide; or Pub. 51 (Circular A), Agricultural Employer's  
Tax Guide, for details, including the definition of  
responsible persons.  
Note. The trust fund recovery penalty will not apply to  
any amount of trust fund taxes an employer holds back in  
anticipation of the credit for qualified sick and family leave  
wages or the employee retention credit that they are  
entitled to. See Pub. 15 and Pub. 51 for more information.  
Other penalties. Other penalties can be imposed for  
negligence, substantial understatement of tax, reportable  
transaction understatements, and fraud. See sections  
6662, 6662A, and 6663.  
Accounting Period  
A cooperative must figure its taxable income on the basis  
of a tax year. A tax year is the annual accounting period a  
cooperative uses to keep its records and report its income  
and expenses. Generally, cooperatives can use a  
calendar year or a fiscal year.  
Change of tax year. Generally, a cooperative must get  
the consent of the IRS before changing its tax year by  
filing Form 1128, Application to Adopt, Change, or Retain  
a Tax Year. However, under certain conditions, exceptions  
may apply. See the Instructions for Form 1128 and Pub.  
538 for more information.  
Accounting Methods  
Figure taxable income using the method of accounting  
regularly used in keeping the cooperative's books and  
records. In all cases, the method used must clearly show  
taxable income. Permissible methods include:  
Cash,  
Rounding Off to  
Whole Dollars  
Accrual, or  
Any other method authorized by the Internal Revenue  
The cooperative may enter decimal points and cents  
when completing its return. However, the cooperative  
should round off cents to whole dollars on its return,  
forms, and schedules to make completing its return easier.  
The cooperative must either round off all amounts on its  
return to whole dollars, or use cents for all amounts. To  
round, drop amounts under 50 cents and increase  
amounts from 50 to 99 cents to the next dollar. For  
example, $8.40 rounds to $8 and $8.50 rounds to $9.  
Code.  
Certain cooperatives must use an accrual method of  
accounting. An exception applies for a small business  
taxpayer (defined below).  
See Pub. 538, Accounting Periods and Methods, for  
more information.  
Small business taxpayer. For tax years beginning in  
2023, a cooperative qualifies as a small business taxpayer  
if (a) it has average annual gross receipts of $29 million or  
less for the 3 prior tax years, and (b) it is not a tax shelter  
(as defined in section 448(d)(3)).  
If two or more amounts must be added to figure the  
amount to enter on a line, include cents when adding the  
amounts and round off only the total.  
A small business taxpayer can account for inventory by  
(a) treating the inventory as non-incidental materials and  
supplies, or (b) conforming to its treatment of inventory in  
an applicable financial statement (as defined in section  
451(b)(3)). If it does not have an applicable financial  
statement, it can use the method of accounting used in its  
books and records prepared according to its accounting  
procedures.  
Recordkeeping  
Keep the cooperative's records for as long as they may be  
needed for the administration of any provision of the  
Internal Revenue Code. Usually, records that support an  
item of income, deduction, or credit on the return must be  
kept for 3 years from the date the return is due or filed,  
whichever is later. Keep records that verify the  
cooperative's basis in property for as long as they are

Dual consolidated losses. If a cooperative incurs a dual  
consolidated loss (as defined in Regulations section  
1.1503(d)-1(b)(5)), the cooperative (or consolidated  
group) may need to attach a domestic use agreement  
and/or annual certification, as provided in Regulations  
sections 1.1503(d)-6(d) and (g).  
Election to reduce basis under section 362(e)(2)(C).  
If property is transferred to a cooperative in transfers  
subject to section 362(e)(2), the transferor and the  
transferee cooperative may elect, under section 362(e)(2)  
(C), to reduce the transferor's basis in the stock received  
instead of reducing the transferee corporation's basis in  
the property transferred. Once made, the election is  
irrevocable. For more information, see section 362(e)(2)  
and Regulations section 1.362-4. If an election is made, a  
statement must be filed in accordance with Regulations  
section 1.362-4(d)(3).  
The cooperative should keep copies of all filed returns.  
They help in preparing future and amended returns and in  
the calculation of earnings and profits.

preceding years: (a) gross sales, (b) cost of goods sold,  
(c) gross profits, (d) percentage of gross profits to gross  
sales, (e) amount collected, and (f) gross profit on the  
amount collected.

under the installment method, if the cooperative elects to  
pay interest under section 453(l)(3), the cooperative's  
income tax is increased by the interest payable under  
section 453(l)(3). Report this addition to tax on  
Schedule J, line 8z.  
Note. If a change in address or responsible party occurs  
after the return is filed, use Form 8822-B, Change of  
Address or Responsible Party—Business, to notify the  
IRS of the new address. For more information, see the  
instructions for Form 8822-B.  
Income  
Except as otherwise provided in the Internal Revenue  
Code, gross income includes all income from whatever  
source derived.  
Exception for income from qualifying shipping activi-  
ties. Gross income does not include income from  
qualifying shipping activities if the cooperative makes an  
election under section 1354 to be taxed on its notional  
shipping income (as defined in section 1353) at the  
highest corporate rate. If the election is made, the  
cooperative may generally not claim any loss, deduction,  
or credit with respect to qualifying shipping activities. A  
cooperative making this election may also elect to defer  
gain on the disposition of a qualifying vessel.  
Nonaccrual experience method for service providers.  
Cooperatives are not required to accrue certain amounts  
to be received from the performance of services that,  
based on their experience, will not be collected if:  
The services are in the fields of health, law,  
engineering, architecture, accounting, actuarial science,  
performing arts, or consulting; or  
The cooperative meets the section 448(c) gross  
receipts test for all prior years.  
Use Form 8902, Alternative Tax on Qualifying Shipping  
Activities, to figure the tax. Include the alternative tax on  
Schedule J, line 8c.  
This provision does not apply to any amount if interest  
is required to be paid on the amount or if there is any  
penalty for failure to timely pay the amount. See  
Regulations section 1.448-3 for more information on the  
nonaccrual experience method, including information on  
safe harbor methods.

Form 8990. Also, see Limitation on deduction in the  
instructions for line 16 and Schedule K, Questions 17 and  
18, later.  
Section 291 limitations. Cooperatives may be required  
to adjust deductions for depletion of iron ore and coal,  
intangible drilling, exploration and development costs, and  
the amortizable basis of pollution control facilities. See  
section 291 to determine the amount of the adjustment,  
later.  
Election to deduct business start-up and organiza-  
tional costs. A cooperative can elect to deduct a limited  
amount of start-up and organizational costs it paid or  
incurred. Any remaining costs must generally be  
amortized over a 180-month period. See sections 195 and  
248 and the related regulations.  
Time for making an election. The cooperative  
generally elects to deduct start-up or organizational costs  
by claiming the deduction on its income tax return filed by  
the due date (including extensions) for the tax year in  
which the active trade or business begins. For more  
details, see the Instructions for Form 4562.

refundable portions). The cooperative must include the full  
amount of the credit for qualified sick and family leave  
wages in gross income for the tax year that includes the  
last day of any calendar quarter in which the credit is  
allowed.  
Note. A credit is available only if the leave was taken after  
March 31, 2020, and before October 1, 2021, and only  
after the qualified leave wages were paid, which might  
under certain circumstances not occur until a quarter after  
September 30, 2021, including quarters in 2023.  
Deductions  
If the cooperative timely filed its return for the year  
without making an election, it can still make an election by  
filing an amended return within 6 months of the due date  
of the return (excluding extensions). Clearly indicate the  
election on the amended return and enter “Filed pursuant  
to section 301.9100-2” at the top of the amended return.  
File the amended return at the same address the  
cooperative filed its original return. The election applies  
when figuring taxable income for the current tax year and  
all subsequent years.  
The cooperative can choose to forgo the elections  
above by affirmatively electing to capitalize its start-up or  
organizational costs on its income tax return filed by the  
due date (including extensions) for the tax year in which  
the active trade or business begins.  
Limitations on Deductions  
Section 263A uniform capitalization rules. The  
uniform capitalization rules of section 263A generally  
require cooperatives to capitalize, or include in inventory,  
certain costs.  
Cooperatives subject to the section 263A uniform  
capitalization rules are required to capitalize:  
1. Direct costs of assets produced or acquired for  
resale, and  
2. Certain indirect costs (including taxes) that are  
properly allocable to property produced or acquired for  
resale.  
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  
cooperative. The cooperative recovers these costs  
through depreciation, amortization, or costs of goods sold.  
Note. The election to either amortize or capitalize start-up  
costs is irrevocable and applies to all start-up costs that  
are related to the trade or business.  
A small business taxpayer (defined earlier) is not  
required to capitalize costs under section 263A. A small  
business taxpayer that wants to discontinue capitalizing  
costs under section 263A must change its method of  
accounting. See section 263A(i), Regulation section  
1.263A-1(j), and the Instructions for Form 3115.  
Report the deductible amount of start-up and  
organizational costs and any amortization on line 23. For  
amortization that begins during the current tax year,

Passive activity limitations. Limitations on passive  
activity losses and credits under section 469 apply to  
closely held cooperatives (defined later).  
Limitations on deductions related to property leased  
to tax-exempt entities. If a cooperative leases property  
to a governmental or other tax-exempt entity, the  
cooperative cannot claim deductions related to the  
property to the extent that they exceed the cooperative's  
income from the lease payments. This disallowed  
tax-exempt use loss can 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(d) for  
exceptions.  
Generally, the two kinds of passive activities are:  
Trade or business activities in which the cooperative did  
not materially participate for the tax year, and  
Rental activities, regardless of its participation.  
Cooperatives 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 at-risk  
rules of section 465, or the tax-exempt use loss rules of  
section 470, those rules apply before the passive loss  
rules.  
Line 11. Compensation of Officers  
Enter deductible officers' compensation on line 11. Do not  
include compensation deductible elsewhere on the return,  
such as amounts included in 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.  
For more information, see section 469, the related  
regulations, and Pub. 925, Passive Activity and At-Risk  
Rules.  
Closely held cooperatives. A cooperative is “closely  
held” (as defined in section 469(j)(1)) if at any time during  
the last half of the tax year more than 50% in value of its  
outstanding stock is owned, directly or indirectly, by or for  
not more than five individuals.  
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)).  
Reducing certain expenses for which credits are al-  
lowable. If the cooperative claims certain credits, it may  
need to reduce the otherwise allowable deductions for  
expenses used to figure the credit. This applies to credits  
such as the following.  
If the cooperative's total receipts (line 1a plus lines 4  
through 9) are $500,000 or more, complete Form 1125-E,  
Compensation of Officers. On Form 1120-C, enter on  
line 11 the amount from Form 1125-E, line 4.  
Line 12. Salaries and Wages  
Enter the total salaries and wages paid for the tax year. 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 cooperative 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 18 and 23.

If the cooperative rented or leased a vehicle, enter the  
total annual rent or lease expense paid or incurred during  
the year. Also, complete Form 4562, Part V. If the  
cooperative leased a vehicle for a term of 30 days or  
more, the deduction for vehicle lease expense may have  
to be reduced by an amount includible in income called  
the inclusion amount. The cooperative may have an  
inclusion amount if:  
Employer credit for paid family and medical leave (Form  
8994).  
If the cooperative has any of the credits listed above,  
figure the current-year credit before figuring the deduction  
for expenses on which the credit is based. If the  
cooperative capitalized any costs on which it figured the  
credit, it may need to reduce the amount capitalized by the  
credit attributable to these costs.  
See the instructions for the form used to figure the  
applicable credit for more details.

Contributions of $250 or more. A cooperative can  
deduct a contribution of $250 or more only if it gets a  
written acknowledgment from the donee organization that  
shows the amount of cash contributed, describes any  
property contributed (but not its value), 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  
cooperative'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 cooperative's records.  
Contributions of property other than cash. If a  
cooperative contributes property other than cash and  
claims over a $500 deduction for the property, it must  
attach a statement to the return describing the kind of  
property contributed and the method used to determine its  
fair market value (FMV). Complete and attach Form 8283,  
Noncash Charitable Contributions, for contributions of

limitation cannot be deducted for the tax year but can be  
carried over to the next 5 tax years. See the exception  
below for farmers and ranchers and certain Native  
Corporations.  
Qualified conservation contributions. Special rules  
apply to qualified conservation contributions, including  
contributions of certain easements on buildings located in  
a registered historic district. See section 170(h) and Pub.  
526, Charitable Contributions.  
Special rules apply if the cooperative 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).  
Suspension of 10% limitation for farmers and ranch-  
ers and certain Native Corporations. Certain  
cooperatives can deduct contributions of qualified  
conservation property without regard to the general 10%  
limit. This applies to:  
Other special rules. The cooperative must reduce its  
deduction for contributions of certain capital gain property.  
See sections 170(e)(1) and 170(e)(5).

must file one of the forms listed below unless exempt from  
filing under regulations or other applicable guidance, even  
if the plan is not a qualified plan under the Internal  
Revenue Code. The filing requirement applies even if the  
cooperative does not claim a deduction for the current tax  
year. There are penalties for failure to file these forms  
timely and for overstating the pension plan deduction. See  
sections 6652(e) and 6662(f). Also, see the instructions  
for the applicable form.  
The total amount of the contribution claimed for the  
qualified conservation property cannot exceed 100% of  
the excess of the cooperative's taxable income (as  
computed above substituting “100%” for “10%”) over all  
other allowable charitable contributions. Any excess  
qualified conservation contributions can be carried over to  
the next 15 years, subject to the 100% limitation. See  
section 170(b)(2)(B) and (C).

improvements if they are for betterments to the property,  
restorations of the property (such as the replacements of  
major components or substantial structural parts), or if  
they adapt the property to a new or different use. Amounts  
paid to produce or improve property must be capitalized.  
See Regulations sections 1.263(a)-2 and (a)-3.  
The cooperative can deduct repair and maintenance  
expenses only to the extent they relate to a trade or  
business activity. See Regulations section 1.162-4. The  
cooperative may elect to capitalize certain repair and  
maintenance costs consistent with its books and records.  
See Regulations section 1.263(a)-3(n) for information on  
how to make the election.  
Travel, meals, and entertainment. Subject to limitations  
and restrictions discussed below, a cooperative can  
deduct ordinary and necessary travel, meals, and  
nonentertainment expenses paid or incurred in its trade or  
business. Generally, entertainment expenses,  
membership dues, and facilities used in connection with  
these activities cannot be deducted. Generally, no  
deduction is allowed for qualified transportation fringe  
benefits. Also, special rules apply to deductions for gifts  
and convention expenses. See section 274 and Pub. 463  
for details.  
Entertainment facilities. The cooperative cannot  
deduct an expense paid or incurred for a facility (such as a  
yacht or hunting lodge) used for an activity usually  
considered entertainment, amusement, or recreation.  
Amounts treated as compensation. Generally, the  
cooperative may be able to deduct otherwise  
nondeductible entertainment, amusement, or recreation  
expenses if the amounts are treated as compensation to  
the recipient and reported on Form W-2, Wage and Tax  
Statement, for an employee or on Form 1099-NEC,  
Nonemployee Compensation, for an independent  
contractor.  
However, if the recipient is an officer, director, beneficial  
owner (directly or indirectly), or other “specified individual”  
(as defined in section 274(e)(2)(B) and Regulations  
section 1.274-9(b)), special rules apply.  
Travel. The cooperative cannot deduct travel expenses  
of any individual accompanying a cooperative officer or  
employee, including a spouse or dependent of the officer  
or employee, unless:  
Lobbying expenses. Generally, lobbying expenses are  
not deductible. These expenses include amounts paid or  
incurred in connection with:  
Influencing legislation, or  
Instructions for Form 1120-C  
15  
     
Any communication with certain federal executive  
branch officials in an attempt to influence the official  
actions or positions of the officials. See Regulations  
section 1.162-29 for the definition of “influencing  
legislation.”  
Line 25c. Taxable Income Before Net Operating  
Loss and Special Deductions  
Subtract line 25b from line 25a and enter the result on  
line 25c.  
Dues and other similar amounts paid to certain  
tax-exempt organizations may not be deductible. If certain  
in-house expenditures do not exceed $2,000, they are  
deductible. See section 162(e)(4)(B).  
Line 26a. Net Operating Loss Deduction  
A cooperative can use the NOL incurred in 1 tax year to  
reduce its taxable income in another tax year. Enter on  
line 26a the total NOL carryovers from other tax years, but  
do not enter more than the cooperative's taxable income  
(after special deductions). Attach a statement showing the  
computation of the NOL deduction. Also, complete  
Schedule K, Item 12, if applicable.  
Line 25a. Taxable Income Before Adjustments  
and Special Deductions  
At-risk rules. Generally, special at-risk rules under  
section 465 apply to closely held cooperatives (see  
Passive activity limitations, earlier) engaged in any activity  
as a trade or business or for the production of income.  
These cooperatives may have to adjust the amount on  
line 25a. (See below.)  
A taxpayer is generally considered “at-risk” for an  
amount equal to the taxpayer’s investment in the entity.  
That investment consists of money and other property  
contributed to the entity and amounts borrowed on behalf  
of the entity.  
The cooperative must attach a statement separately  
accounting for patronage and nonpatronage-sourced  
NOLs.  
Note. Patronage-sourced NOLs cannot be used to  
reduce nonpatronage-sourced taxable income.  
The following special rules apply.  
If an ownership change (described in section 382(g))  
The at-risk rules do not apply to:  
occurs, the amount of the taxable income of a loss  
cooperative that may be offset by the pre-change NOL  
carryovers may be limited. See section 382 and the  
related regulations. A loss cooperative must include the  
information statement as provided in Regulations section  
1.382-11(a) with its income tax return for each tax year  
that it is a loss cooperative in which an ownership shift,  
equity structure shift, or other transaction described in  
Temporary Regulations section 1.382-2T(a)(2)(i) occurs. If  
the cooperative makes the closing-of-the-books election,  
see Regulations section 1.382-6(b).  
Holding real property placed in service by the  
cooperative before 1987;  
Equipment leasing under sections 465(c)(4), (5), and  
(6); or  
Any qualifying business of a qualified cooperative under  
section 465(c)(7).  
However, the at-risk rules do apply to the holding of  
mineral property.  
If the at-risk rules apply, adjust the amount on this line  
for any section 465(d) losses. These losses are limited to  
the amount for which the cooperative is at risk for each  
separate activity at the close of the tax year. If the  
cooperative is involved in one or more activities, any of  
which incurs a loss for the year, report the losses for each  
activity separately. Attach Form 6198, At-Risk Limitations,  
showing the amount at risk and gross income and  
deductions for the activities with the losses.  
If the cooperative sells or otherwise disposes of an  
asset or its interest (either total or partial) in an activity to  
which the at-risk rules apply, determine the net profit or  
loss from the activity by combining the gain or loss on the  
sale or disposition with the profit or loss from the activity. If  
the cooperative has a net loss, the loss may be limited  
because of the at-risk rules.  
Treat any loss from an activity not allowed for the  
current tax year as a deduction allocable to the activity in  
the next tax year.  
Cooperatives are required to allocate income and  
deductions between patronage and nonpatronage-related  
business. Cooperatives with gross receipts and assets of  
$250,000 or more must complete Schedule G. See the  
instructions for Schedule G.  
The limitations under section 382 do not apply to  
certain ownership changes after February 17, 2009, made  
according to a restructuring plan under the Emergency  
Economic Stabilization Act of 2008. See section 382(n).  
For guidance in applying section 382 to loss  
cooperatives whose instruments were acquired by  
Treasury under certain programs under the Emergency  
Economic Stabilization Act of 2008, see Notice 2010-2,  
2010-2 I.R.B. 251.  
If a cooperative acquires control of another cooperative  
(or acquires its assets in a reorganization), the amount of  
pre-acquisition losses that may offset recognized built-in  
gain may be limited (see section 384).  
If a cooperative elects the alternative tax on qualifying  
shipping activities under section 1354, no deduction is  
allowed for an NOL attributable to the qualifying shipping  
activities to the extent that the loss is carried forward from  
a tax year preceding the first tax year for which the  
alternative tax election was made. See section 1358(b)(2).  
For more details on the NOL deduction, see section  
172 and the Instructions for Form 1139.

Tax, Refundable Credits, and  
Payments  
Line 27. Taxable Income  
See Schedule K, Question 14, to determine if the  
cooperative needs to complete Schedule G. Taxable  
income reported on line 27 cannot be less than the  
nonpatronage taxable income shown on Schedule G,  
line 10, column b.  
Line 30b. Estimated Tax Payments  
Enter any estimated tax payments the cooperative made  
for the tax year.  
Beneficiaries of trusts. If the cooperative is the  
beneficiary of a trust, and the trust makes a section 643(g)  
election to credit its estimated tax payments to its  
beneficiaries, include the cooperative's share of the  
payment in the total for line 30b. Enter “T” and the amount  
of the payment in the shaded space beside line 30b.  
Patronage source losses cannot be used to offset  
nonpatronage income. See the instructions for  
!
CAUTION  
Line 30c. Overpaid Estimated Tax  
If the cooperative overpaid estimated tax, it may be able to  
get a quick refund by filing Form 4466. The overpayment  
must be at least 10% of the cooperative's expected  
income tax liability and at least $500. File Form 4466 after  
the end of the cooperative's tax year, and no later than the  
due date for filing the cooperative’s tax return. Form 4466  
must be filed before the cooperative files its tax return.  
See the instructions for Form 4466.  
Minimum taxable income. The cooperative's taxable  
income cannot be less than the inversion gain of the  
cooperative for the tax year, if the cooperative is an  
expatriated entity or a partner in an expatriated entity. See  
section 7874(a).  
Net operating loss (NOL). If line 27 (figured without  
regard to the minimum taxable income rule stated above)  
is zero or less, the cooperative may have an NOL that can  
be carried back or forward as a deduction to other tax  
years.  
Only farming losses and losses of an insurance  
company (other than a life insurance company) can be  
carried back. The carryback period for these losses is 2  
years. For NOLs that can be carried back, the cooperative  
can elect to waive the carryback period and instead carry  
the NOL forward to future tax years.  
See the instructions for Schedule K, Item 12 for  
information on making the election to waive the carryback  
period. See the Instructions for Form 1139 for other  
special rules and elections.  
Line 30d. Net Tax Payments  
Combine lines 30a through 30c and enter the result on  
line 30d.  
Line 30f. Credit for Tax Paid on Undistributed  
Capital Gains

Undistributed Long-Term Capital Gains, for the  
cooperative's share of the tax paid by a regulated  
investment company (RIC) or a real estate investment  
trust (REIT) on undistributed long-term capital gains  
included in the cooperative's income. Attach Form 2439.  
The NOL deduction for tax year 2023 cannot exceed  
the aggregate amount of NOLs arising in tax years  
beginning before January 1, 2018, carried to such year  
plus the lesser of:  
Line 30g. Credit For Federal Tax Paid on Fuels  
Enter the total income tax credit claimed on Form 4136,  
Credit for Federal Tax Paid on Fuels. Attach Form 4136.

year; or  
2. 80% of the excess, if any, of taxable income  
determined without any NOL deduction, section 199A  
deduction, or section 250 deduction, over any NOL  
carryover to the tax year from tax years beginning before  
January 1, 2018.  
Line 30h. Section 1383 Adjustment  
If the cooperative would pay less total tax by claiming the  
deduction for the redemption of nonqualified written  
notices of allocation or nonqualified per-unit retain  
certificates in the issue year versus the current tax year,  
refigure the tax for the years the nonqualified written  
notices or certificates were originally issued (deducting  
them in the issue year), then enter the amount of the  
reduction in the issue years' taxes on this line. Attach a  
statement showing how the adjustment was figured. This  
adjustment is treated as a payment, and any amount that  
is more than the tax on line 28 will be refunded.  
An exception applies for NOLs of insurance companies  
other than life insurance companies. The 80% taxable  
income limit does not apply to these entities. See sections  
172(b) and (f).  
Line 30i. Elective Payment Election Amount

Dividends, Inclusions, and Special  
Deductions  
Note. Do not report income from patronage dividends on  
Schedule C. Report income from patronage dividends and  
per-unit retain allocations on page 1, line 9.  
For purposes of the 20% ownership test on lines 1  
through 7, the percentage of stock owned by the

stock. Preferred stock described in section 1504(a)(4) is  
not taken into account.  
Consolidated returns. Cooperatives filing a  
consolidated return should see Regulations sections  
1.1502-13, 1.1502-26, and 1.1502-27 before completing  
Schedule C.  
Cooperatives filing a consolidated return must not  
report as dividends on Schedule C any amounts received  
from corporations within the consolidated group. Such  
dividends are eliminated in consolidation rather than offset  
by the dividends-received deduction.  
Line 31. Estimated Tax Penalty  
Generally, the cooperative does not have to file Form 2220  
because the IRS can figure the penalty amount, if any, and  
bill the cooperative. However, even if the cooperative does  
not owe the penalty, it must complete and attach Form  
2220 if:  
The annualized income or adjusted seasonal  
installment method is used, or  
The cooperative is a large corporation (as defined in the  
Instructions for Form 2220) computing its first required  
installment based on the prior year's tax. See the  
Instructions for Form 2220.  
If Form 2220 is attached, check the box on line 31, and  
enter any penalty on this line.  
If the cooperative's tax liability includes a CAMT  
liability, the cooperative must complete and attach  
!
CAUTION  
Form 2220. The affected cooperative must also  
include an amount of estimated tax penalty on Form  
1120-C, line 31, even if that amount is zero. Failure to  
follow these instructions could result in the cooperative  
receiving a penalty notice that will require an abatement  
request to apply any penalty relief. See Notice 2023-42.

section 992(a)) to the extent the dividend:  
Is paid out of the cooperative's accumulated IC-DISC  
If the cooperative's total receipts (page 1, line 1a plus lines

1. Dividends (other than capital gain distributions  
reported on Schedule D (Form 1120) and exempt-interest  
dividends) that are received from RICs and that are not  
subject to the 50% deduction.  
Cooperatives are required to allocate income and  
deductions between patronage and nonpatronage  
business. If the transaction producing the income merely  
enhances the overall profitability of the cooperative, being  
merely incidental to the cooperative's operation, the  
income is from a nonpatronage source. But if the source  
of income or loss is from an activity that is an integral part  
of the cooperative's business (such as inventory), then the  
source may be patronage.  
2. Dividends from tax-exempt organizations.  
3. Dividends (other than capital gain distributions)  
received from a REIT that, for the tax year of the trust in  
which the dividends are paid, qualifies under sections 856  
through 860.  
Special rules also apply if a cooperative has acquired  
the assets of another cooperative under a section 381(a)  
transaction. Cooperatives may elect to net earnings  
against losses under section 1388(j) and still be eligible  
for tax-exempt treatment.

deduction, which include the following.  
a. Dividends received on any share of stock held for  
less than 46 days during the 91-day period beginning 45

number of days the cooperative held the stock, you cannot  
count certain days during which the cooperative's risk of  
loss was diminished. See section 246(c)(4) and  
Line 6a  
For agricultural and horticultural cooperatives only, special  
rules apply in determining and reporting the section  
199A(g) deduction. See the instructions for page 1,  
line 22. Also, see the Instructions for Form 8903.  
Regulations section 1.246-5 for more details.  
b. Dividends received on any share of preferred stock,  
which are attributable to periods totaling more than 366  
days, if such stock was held for less than 91 days during  
the 181-day period that began 90 days before the  
ex-dividend date. When counting the number of days the  
cooperative held the stock, you cannot count certain days  
during which the cooperative's risk of loss was diminished.  
See section 246(c)(4) and Regulations section 1.246-5 for  
more details. Preferred dividends attributable to periods  
totaling less than 367 days are subject to the 46-day  
holding period rule above.

in the gross income of the cooperative for a tax year after  
the year in which the patronage occurred.  
Patronage dividends include any amount paid to a  
patron by a cooperative based on the quantity or value of  
business done with or for that patron under a pre-existing  
obligation to pay that amount. The amount is determined  
by reference to the net earnings of the organization from  
business done with or for its patrons.

requirements should check the “Yes” box. This applies  
even if the cooperative is a subsidiary member of one  
group and the parent corporation of another.

party during the tax year must file Form 5472. See the  
Instructions for Form 5472 for filing instructions and  
penalties for failure to file.  
Question 17  
The limitation on business interest expense applies to  
every taxpayer with a trade or business, unless the  
taxpayer meets certain specified exceptions. A taxpayer  
may elect out of the limitation for certain businesses  
otherwise subject to the business interest expense  
limitation. See Question 18. Also, see the Instructions for  
Form 8990.  
Certain real property trades or businesses and farming  
businesses qualify to make an election not to limit  
business interest expense. This is an irrevocable election.  
If you make this election, you are required to use the  
alternative depreciation system to depreciate any  
nonresidential real property, residential rental property,  
and qualified improvement property for an electing real  
property trade or business, and any property with a  
recovery period of 10 years or more for an electing  
farming business. See section 168(g)(1)(F). Also, you are  
not entitled to the special depreciation allowance for that  
property. For a taxpayer with more than one qualifying  
business, the election is made with respect to each  
business.  
Item 10  
Show any tax-exempt interest received or accrued.  
Include any exempt-interest dividends received as a  
shareholder in a mutual fund or other RIC. Also, if  
required, include the same amount on Schedule M-1,

applicable).  
Item 12  
Check “Yes” if the taxpayer has an election in effect to  
exclude a real property trade or business or a farming  
business from section 163(j). For more information, see  
section 163(j) and the Instructions for Form 8990.  
Generally, if the cooperative has an NOL for tax year  
2023, it can elect to waive the entire carryback period for  
the NOL and instead carry the NOL forward to future tax  
years. To do so, check the box in Item 12 and file the  
return by its due date, including extensions. Do not attach  
the statement described in Temporary Regulations section  
301.9100-12T. Once made, the election is irrevocable.  
Question 18  
Generally, a taxpayer with a trade or business must file  
Form 8990 to claim a deduction for business interest. In  
addition, Form 8990 must be filed by any taxpayer that  
owns an interest in a partnership with current-year or  
prior-year carryover, excess business interest expense  
allocated from the partnership.  
If the cooperative timely filed its return for the loss year  
without making the election, it can make the election on an  
amended return filed within 6 months of the due date of  
the loss year return (excluding extensions). Attach the  
election to the amended return and write “Filed pursuant  
to section 301.9100-2” on the election statement. See the  
Instructions for Form 1139.  
Exclusions from filing. A taxpayer is not required to file  
Form 8990 if the taxpayer is a small business taxpayer  
and does not have excess business interest expense from  
a partnership. A taxpayer is also not required to file Form  
8990 if the taxpayer only has business interest expense  
from these excepted trades or businesses:  
Cooperatives filing a consolidated return that elect to  
waive the entire carryback period for the group must  
check the box in Item 12 and attach the statement  
required by Regulations section 1.1502-21(b)(3) or the  
election will not be valid.  
An electing real property trade or business,  
An electing farming business, or  
Certain utility businesses.  
Item 13

not subject to the business interest expense limitation and  
is not required to file Form 8990. A small business  
taxpayer is a taxpayer that (a) is not a tax shelter (as

Instructions for Form 1120-C  
 
Using the list of activities and codes below,  
determine from which activity the company derives  
the largest percentage of its “total receipts.” Total  
receipts is defined as the sum of gross receipts or  
sales (page 1, line 1a) plus all other income  
(page 1, lines 4 through 10). If the company  
purchases raw materials and supplies them to a  
subcontractor to produce the finished product, but  
retains title to the product, the company is  
considered a manufacturer and must use one of  
the manufacturing codes (311110–339900).  
Form 1120-C
