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 5 any Form 8845 credit from passive
activities disallowed for prior years and carried forward to
this year. Complete Form 8810, Corporate Passive
Activity Loss and Credit Limitations, to determine the
allowed credit that must be allocated to patrons. For
details, see the Instructions for Form 8810.
Line 4
In general, you must reduce your deduction for salaries
and wages by the amount on line 4, even if you can’t take
the full credit this year because of the tax liability limit. If
you capitalized any salaries and wages on which you
figured the credit, reduce the amount capitalized by the
amount attributable to these costs.
Estates and trusts. Allocate the Indian employment
credit on line 6 between the estate or trust and the
beneficiaries in the same proportion as income was
allocated and enter the beneficiaries’ share on line 7.
If the estate or trust is subject to the passive activity
rules, include on line 5 any Form 8845 credit from passive
activities disallowed for prior years and carried forward to
this year. Complete Form 8582-CR, Passive Activity
Credit Limitations, to determine the allowed credit that
must be allocated between the estate or trust and the
