after they were published, go to IRS.gov/  
When To File  
Generally, a fund must file its income tax  
return by the 15th day of the 4th month after  
the end of its tax year. The return of a trustee  
or self-dealer who owes tax under section  
4951 must be filed by the 15th day of the 4th  
month after the end of the tax year of the  
trustee or self-dealer.  
What’s New  
Form 1120-ND. Form 1120-ND is not being  
revised. Continue to use the October 2013  
revision of the Form 1120-ND with these  
updated instructions.  
Who Must Sign  
However, a fund with a fiscal tax year  
ending on June 30 must file by the 15th day  
of the 3rd month after the end of its tax year.  
A fund with a short tax year ending 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.  
Increase in penalty for failure to file. For  
returns required to be filed after December  
31, 2022, the minimum penalty for failure to  
file a return that is over 60 days late has  
increased to the smaller of the tax due or  
$450. See Late filing of return, later.  
The return must be signed and dated by an  
authorized trustee. The return of any person  
who engaged in any act of self-dealing must  
be signed and dated by that person or the  
individual authorized to sign on behalf of that  
person.  
Form 1120-W now historical. Form  
1120-W, Estimated Tax for Corporations,  
and the Instructions for Form 1120-W are  
now historical. The 2022 Form 1120-W  
(released in 2021) and the 2022 Instructions  
for Form 1120-W (released in 2021) will be  
the last revision of both the form and its  
instructions. Prior versions will be available  
on IRS.gov.  
If an employee of the fund completes  
Form 1120-ND, the paid preparer space  
should remain blank. Anyone who prepares  
Form 1120-ND but does not charge the fund  
should not complete that section. Generally,  
anyone who is paid to prepare the return  
must sign it and fill in the “Paid Preparer Use  
Only” area.  
If the due date falls on a Saturday,  
Sunday, or legal holiday, the fund may file on  
the next business day.

imposed if the fund can show that the failure  
to file on time was due to reasonable cause.

no later than the due date (excluding  
extensions) for filing the fund's subsequent

Same-day wire payment option. If the  
fund 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 its deposit on time by using the  
Federal Tax Collection Service (FTCS).To  
use the same-day wire payment method, the  
fund will need to make arrangements with its  
financial institution ahead of time regarding  
availability, deadlines, and costs. Financial  
institutions may charge a fee for payments  
made this way. To learn more about the  
information the fund will need to provide to  
its financial institution to make a same-day  
wire payment, go to the IRS website at  
Late payment of tax. A fund that doesn’t  
pay the tax when due may generally 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.  
The penalty won’t be imposed if the fund can  
show that the failure to pay on time was due  
to reasonable cause.  
Assembling the Return  
To ensure that the fund's tax return is  
correctly processed, attach all schedules  
after page 2, Form 1120-ND, in alphabetical  
order followed by other forms in numerical  
order.  
Reasonable-cause determinations. If the  
fund receives a notice about penalties after it  
files its return, send the IRS an explanation,  
and we will determine if the fund meets the  
reasonable-cause criteria. Do not attach an  
explanation when the fund files its return.  
Complete every applicable entry space  
on Form 1120-ND. Do not write “See  
Attached” instead of completing the entry  
spaces. If more space is needed on the  
forms or schedules, attach separate sheets  
using the same size and format as the  
printed forms. If there are supporting  
statements and attachments, arrange them  
in the same order as the schedules or forms  
they support and attach them last. Show the  
totals on the printed forms. Enter the fund's  
name and employer identification number  
(EIN) on each supporting statement or  
attachment.  
Other penalties. Other penalties can be  
imposed for negligence, substantial  
understatement of tax, reportable transaction  
understatements, and fraud. See sections  
6662, 6662A, and 6663.  
Estimated Tax Payments  
Generally, the following rules apply to the  
fund's payments of estimated tax.  
The fund must make installment

payments of estimated tax if it expects its  
total tax for the year (less applicable credits)  
to be $500 or more.

accounting as the electing taxpayer.  
The installments are due by the 15th day  
Rounding Off to Whole Dollars  
of the 4th, 6th, 9th, and 12th months of the  
tax year. If any date falls on a Saturday,  
Sunday, or legal holiday, the installment is  
due on the next regular business day.  
The fund may round off cents to whole  
dollars on its return and schedules. If the  
fund does round to whole dollars, it must  
round all amounts. To round, drop amounts  
under 50 cents and increase amounts from  
50 to 99 cents to the next dollar. For  
example, $1.39 becomes $1 and $2.50  
becomes $3.

2. The withdrawal of excess  
contributions by the electing taxpayer in  
accordance with Regulations section

excessive.  
Line 5. If you are a trustee or disqualified  
person (defined later), complete the items  
included in line 5 to determine if you have  
engaged in an act of self-dealing.  
Correction and correct. The terms  
“correction” and “correct” mean the undoing

under the highest fiduciary relationship.  
Part II. Initial Taxes on  
Self-Dealing (Section 4951)  
Initial Taxes on Self-Dealers  
Disqualified person. The term “disqualified  
person” means a person who is:  
1. A contributor to the fund.  
2. A trustee of the fund.  
An initial tax of 10% of the amount involved  
(defined later) is imposed on each act of  
self-dealing between a disqualified person  
and a nuclear decommissioning fund for  
each tax year (or part of a tax year) in the  
taxable period. The tax is required to be paid  
by any disqualified person (other than a  
trustee acting only as a trustee of the trust)  
who participates in the act of self-dealing.  
3. An owner of more than 10% of (a) the  
total combined voting power of a  
corporation, (b) the profits interest of a  
partnership, or (c) the beneficial interest of a  
trust or unincorporated business that is a  
contributor to the fund.  
4. An officer, director, or employee of a  
person who is a contributor to the fund.  
Initial Taxes on Trustee  
5. The spouse, ancestor, or a lineal  
descendant, or a spouse of a lineal  
descendant of an individual described in (1)  
through (4) above.  
6. A corporation of which persons  
described in (1) through (5) above own more  
than 35% of the total combined voting  
power.  
7. A partnership of which persons  
described in (1) through (5) above own more  
than 35% of the profits interests.  
8. A trust or estate of which persons  
described in (1) through (5) above own more  
than 35% of the beneficial interest.  
A tax of 21/2% of the amount involved is  
imposed on a trustee who participates in the  
act of self-dealing. The tax is not imposed if  
the trustee unwillingly or due to reasonable  
cause participated in the act. The tax is  
computed on all acts of self-dealing that  
occur within the taxable period. The tax is  
required to be paid by the trustee who  
participates in the act.  
7. A payment by the fund for the  
performance of trust functions and certain  
general banking services by a bank or trust  
company that is a disqualified person, if the  
banking services are reasonable and  
necessary to carry out the purposes of the  
fund and the compensation paid to the bank  
or trust company is not excessive  
(considering the fair market interest rate for  
the use of the funds by the bank or trust  
company).  
Exceptions. The initial tax on the act of  
self-dealing of a disqualified person or a  
trustee is not imposed if the acts of  
self-dealing are corrected within the taxable  
period.  
The allowable general banking services  
are:

(8) above, the ownership of profits or  
beneficial interests will be determined by the  
rules of constructive ownership of stock  
provided in section 267(c) (other than  
paragraph (3) thereof), except that section  
267(c)(4) will be treated as providing that the  
members of the family of an individual are

in a nuclear power plant, neither the  
transferor or the transferee (or either's fund)  
will recognize gain, loss, or otherwise take  
any income or deduction into account  
because of the transfer of all or some of the  
assets of the transferor's fund. Also, the

basis in those assets immediately prior to the  
transfer.
