The amount of qualified wages that may be taken into
account is limited to $6,000 per employee. This includes

and trusts must file this form to claim the credit. All other
taxpayers aren’t required to complete or file this form if
their only source for this credit is a partnership, S
corporation, cooperative, estate, or trust. Instead, they
can report this credit directly on Form 3800, General
Business Credit.
Wages qualifying for the credit generally have the same
meaning as wages subject to the Federal Unemployment
Tax Act (FUTA). Qualified wages also include amounts
you paid or incurred for medical or hospitalization
expenses in connection with sickness or accident
disability. Qualified wages don’t include wages paid to or
incurred for your dependent or wages paid to or incurred
for an employee related to you.
For agricultural employees, if the work performed by
any employee during more than half of any pay period
qualifies under FUTA as agricultural labor, the first $6,000
of that employee’s wages subject to social security and
Medicare taxes are qualified wages.
For purposes of this credit, qualified wages paid by a
third-party payer (including an employee leasing
company, a professional employer organization, or a
Certified Professional Employer Organization) to eligible
employees of an eligible employer are considered
qualified wages incurred by the eligible employer. Only
the eligible employer, and not the third-party payer, can
take into account such qualified wages in claiming the
credit.

Partnerships, S corporations, cooperatives, estates,
and trusts report the above credits on line 3. All other filers
figuring a separate credit on earlier lines also report the
above credits on line 3. All others not using earlier lines to

Line 5
Cooperatives. A cooperative described in section
1381(a) must allocate to its patrons the credit in excess of
its tax liability limit. Therefore, to figure the unused amount
of the credit allocated to patrons, the cooperative must
first figure its tax liability. While any excess is allocated to
patrons, any credit recapture applies as if the cooperative
had claimed the entire credit.
If the cooperative is subject to the passive activity rules,
include on line 3 any Form 5884-A credit from passive
Paperwork Reduction Act Notice. We ask for the information on this form to carry out the Internal Revenue laws of the
