Instructions for Form 5884-D
(April 2021)
Employee Retention Credit for Certain Tax-Exempt Organizations Affected by
Qualified Disasters
Section references are to the Internal Revenue Code
unless otherwise noted.
A qualified tax-exempt organization filing its own Form
5884-D should file one Form 5884-D for the organization
per employment tax period. A third-party payer will file a
single separate Form 5884-D for each qualified

tax-exempt organization per employment tax period.
For the latest information about developments related to
Form 5884-D and its instructions, such as legislation
enacted after they were published, go to IRS.gov/
Form 5884-D is filed separately from any other returns.
The credit claimed on Form 5884-D will not affect the tax
liability reported on the organization’s employment tax
returns. Nevertheless, the organization may reduce its
required deposits for an employment tax period by the
amount of its anticipated credit for that employment tax
period. The IRS will refund the amount shown on line 12
of Form 5884-D, plus any interest that applies, unless the
IRS corrects Form 5884-D during processing or the
organization owes other taxes, penalties, or interest.
General Instructions
Purpose of Form
A qualified tax-exempt organization (including certain
governmental entities) that continued to pay or incur
wages after activities of the organization (treated as an
active trade or business for this purpose) became
inoperable because of damage from a qualified disaster
may be able to use Form 5884-D to claim the 2020
qualified disaster employee retention credit against
certain payroll taxes. This is similar to the credit
businesses claim against income taxes using Form
5884-A. The credit is equal to 40% of up to $6,000 of
qualified wages paid to or incurred for each eligible
employee. The credit is claimed against the employer
portion of social security tax on wages paid to all
employees during an employment tax period. A list of
qualified disasters is available at the end of these
instructions.
The amount properly claimed on Form 5884-D is
treated as a credit on the first day of the
TIP
organization’s employment tax period. Qualified
tax-exempt organizations eligible to claim this credit can
reduce their deposits for an employment tax period by the
amount of their anticipated credit for that employment tax
period. However, because Form 5884-D may not be
processed with the organization’s employment tax return,
an organization that reduces its required deposits in
anticipation of a Form 5884-D credit may receive a
system-generated notice reflecting a balance due and
associated penalties and interest, if applicable. The
balance due, including any related penalties and interest,
resulting from the reduction in deposits to reflect the Form
5884-D credit will be abated when the credit is applied.
Such abatement should occur without any action from the
organization.
The organization files Form 5884-D after it files its
employment tax return for the employment tax period for
which it is claiming the credit. The organization begins by
filing Form 5884-D for the first employment tax period in
which qualified wages were paid to an eligible employee.
The organization continues to file Form 5884-D for each
subsequent employment tax period in or for which it paid
additional amounts that affect the cumulative credit. For
each subsequent employment tax period, the organization
figures the cumulative credit for that employment tax
period and all previous employment tax periods beginning
with the first employment tax period in which qualified
wages were paid. That amount is adjusted for any credit
amounts claimed on previously filed Forms 5884-D. The
organization continues to file Form 5884-D for each
subsequent employment tax period for which the
cumulative credit amount changes. The cumulative credit
amount may change if:
Qualified Tax-Exempt Organization

Note. The IRS cannot process Form 5884-D until the
original employment tax return filed for the same tax
period has been processed. Please allow 8 to 12 weeks
for the processing of Form 5884-D.
Eligible Employee
An eligible employee is an employee whose principal
place of employment with the qualified tax-exempt
organization immediately before the incident period of the
qualified disaster was in the 2020 qualified disaster zone.
Form 5884-D must be filed within 2 years from the

return was paid, or 3 years from the date the
employment tax return was filed, whichever is later.
Qualified wages are wages a qualified tax-exempt
organization paid to or incurred for eligible employees at
any time on or after the date the organization’s activities
(treated as an active trade or business for this purpose)
first became inoperable at the employee’s principal place
of employment (determined immediately before the first
day of the incident period of the qualified disaster) and

Qualified wages include wages paid or incurred
Name and Address
whether an eligible employee performs no services,
performs services at a place of employment other than the
principal place of employment, or performs services at the
principal place of employment before significant activities
have resumed.
If the organization receives its mail in care of a third party
(such as an accountant or an attorney), enter on the street
address line “C/O” followed by the third party’s name and
street address or P.O. box.
A third-party payer who files an aggregate employment
tax return and is filing Form 5884-D for a qualified
tax-exempt organization client claiming the credit should
enter the third party’s name, address, and EIN.
Qualified wages do not include any wages that exceed
$6,000 for an eligible employee for an employment tax
period (reduced by the amount of qualified wages
credited for any prior employment tax period).
Include the suite, room, or other unit number after the
street address. If the Post Office does not deliver mail to
the street address and the organization has a P.O. box,
enter the box number instead of the street address.
Wages qualifying for the credit generally have the same
meaning as wages subject to social security and
Medicare taxes. However, qualified wages don't include
any wages used to claim a coronavirus-related employee
retention credit on an employment tax return, such as
Form 941, Employer's QUARTERLY Federal Tax Return.
Line 1
If a third-party payer who files an aggregate employment
tax return is filing Form 5884-D for a qualified tax-exempt
organization client claiming the credit, enter the name,
address, and EIN of the qualified tax-exempt organization
(defined earlier) for whom the third-party payer is claiming
the credit. All information reported on Form 5884-D by a
third-party payer for a qualified tax-exempt organization
must relate solely to the organization identified on line 1.
When To File
File Form 5884-D after the organization has filed its
employment tax return for the employment tax period for
which it is claiming the credit. File Form 5884-D for each
employment tax period in or for which the organization
paid amounts that affect the cumulative credit as
Line 2
A qualified tax-exempt organization that files its
employment tax return under its own employer
identification number (EIN) (including organizations that
file using a payroll service provider or reporting agent)
should file one Form 5884-D for the organization per
employment tax period. A third-party payer, such as a
certified professional employer organization, a
non-certified professional employer organization, or an
agent under section 3504, who files an aggregate
employment tax return and is filing Form 5884-D for a
qualified tax-exempt organization claiming the credit
should use the third-party’s name and EIN on Form
5884-D and should enter the qualified tax-exempt
organization’s name, address, and EIN on line 1. A
third-party payer who files an aggregate employment tax
return must file a single separate Form 5884-D for each
qualified tax-exempt organization claiming the credit in an
employment tax period.
The credit is available only to an organization that is a
qualified tax-exempt organization. The organization must
be able to check “Yes” on either line 2a or 2b to qualify for
the credit.

Line 5
As discussed earlier under Purpose of Form, the
organization claims this credit against the employer’s
portion of social security tax on wages paid to all
employees during the employment tax period. The
organization files Form 5884-D for each employment tax
period during which it claims a credit. Each Form 5884-D
figures the cumulative credit the organization is entitled to
for all periods and reduces the amount claimed for the
period by any amounts claimed on previously filed Forms
5884-D.

941-X) for the period indicated on line 5, enter the
amounts as corrected.

Note. For 2019, a qualified tax-exempt organization can
potentially have qualified wages only in the 4th calendar
quarter. A quarterly filer cannot claim the employee
retention credit for wages paid during any other calendar
quarter in 2019. Similarly, for 2021, a qualified tax-exempt
organization can potentially have qualified wages only in

the organization is entitled to for all periods. The amount
of the cumulative credit reported on line 6b must be
reduced by the previously claimed credits and increased
by any previously repaid amounts to determine the credit
claimed for the employment tax period for which Form
5884-D is filed.
Paid Preparer
A paid preparer must sign Form 5884-D and provide the
information in the Paid Preparer Use Only section if the
preparer was paid to prepare Form 5884-D and is not an
employee of the filing entity. Paid preparers must sign
paper returns with a manual signature. The preparer must
