What’s New
Political Organizations
A political organization is a party, committee, association, fund
(including a separate segregated fund described in section
527(f)(3) set up by a section 501(c) organization), or other
organization, organized and operated primarily for the purpose of
accepting contributions or making expenditures, or both, to
influence the selection, nomination, election, or appointment of
any individual to any public office or office in a political
organization, or the election of Presidential or Vice Presidential
electors. Political organizations include the following.
Line 23d. Elective payment election amount from Form
3800 (section 527 organization only). This line was added to
include elective payment election amounts from Form 3800 for
section 527 organizations only.
Reminders
Section 965(a) inclusion. Section 965(a) inclusion amounts
from Form 965 are not applicable for tax year 2022 and later
years. However, if you continue to make installment payments of
tax based on a prior-year section 965(a) election, continue to
attach Form 965-B to Form 1120-POL.
1. Newsletter fund, if it is a fund established and
maintained by an individual who holds, has been elected to, or is
a candidate (as defined in section 527(g)(3)) for nomination or
election to any federal, state, or local elective public office. The
fund must be maintained exclusively for the preparation and
circulation of the individual’s newsletter.
2. Separate segregated fund, if it is maintained by a
section 501(c) organization (exempt from tax under section
501(a)). For more information, see section 527(f)(3) and
Regulations section 1.527-6(f).

Effect of failure to file Form 8871. Unless excepted (see
Other Reports and Returns That May Be Required, later), every
political organization, in order to be considered a tax-exempt
organization, must file Form 8871, Political Organization Notice
of Section 527 Status. An organization that is required to file
Form 8871 but fails to file it when due must include in taxable
income for the period before Form 8871 is filed its exempt
function income (including contributions received, membership
dues, and political fundraising receipts), minus any deductions
directly connected with the production of that income. The
organization may not deduct its exempt function expenditures
because section 162(e) denies a deduction for political
campaign expenditures.

and Expenditures (periodic reports are required during the
calendar year).
Generally, a political organization that files Form 8871 and
accepts a contribution or makes an expenditure for an exempt
function during the calendar year must file this form. However,
this form isn’t required to be filed by an organization excepted
from filing Form 8871 (see (1) earlier), or a qualified state or local
political organization (QSLPO) (see the Instructions for Form
8871, and Rev. Rul. 2003-49, 2003-20 I.R.B. 903, for the

or more for a QSLPO).
Rounding Off to Whole Dollars
The organization may round off cents to whole dollars on the
return and accompanying schedules. If the organization 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.
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.
Federal Tax Deposits Must Be Made by
Electronic Funds Transfer
The following political organizations aren’t required to file
You must use electronic funds transfer to make all federal
deposits (such as deposits of estimated tax, employment tax,
and excise tax). Generally, electronic funds transfers are made
using the Electronic Federal Tax Payment System (EFTPS). If
you don’t want to use EFTPS, you can arrange for your tax
professional, financial institution, payroll service, or other trusted
third party to make deposits on your behalf. Also, you may
arrange for your financial institution to submit a same-day wire
payment on your behalf. EFTPS is a free service provided by the
Department of the Treasury. Services provided by your tax
professional, financial institution, payroll services, or other third
party may have a fee. To get more information about EFTPS or 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. Additional
information about EFTPS is available in Pub. 966, Electronic
Federal Tax Payment System: A Guide to Getting Started.

information.
Depositing on time. For deposits made by EFTPS to be on
time, you must submit the deposit by 8 p.m. Eastern time the day
before the date the deposit is due. If you use a third party to

make deposits on your behalf, they may have different cutoff
times.
Assembling the Return
Attach Form 4136, Credit for Federal Tax Paid on Fuels, after
page 1 of Form 1120-POL. Attach schedules in alphabetical
order and other forms in numerical order after Form 4136.
Complete every applicable entry space on Form 1120-POL.
Do not write “See attached” instead of completing the entry
spaces. If you need more space on the forms or schedules,
attach separate sheets using the same size and format as on the
printed forms. Show the totals on the printed forms. Attach these
separate sheets after all the schedules and forms. Be sure to put
the organization’s name and EIN on each sheet.
Same-day wire payment option. If you fail to submit a deposit
transaction on EFTPS by 8 p.m. Eastern time the day before the
date a deposit is due, you can still make the deposit on time by
using the Federal Tax Collection Service. Before using the
same-day wire payment option, you will need to make
arrangements with your financial institution ahead of time. Check
with the financial institution regarding availability, deadlines, and
costs. To learn more about making a same-day wire payment
and to download the Same-Day Payment Worksheet, go to
Deposits on business days only. If a deposit is required to be
made on a day that isn’t a business day, the deposit is
considered timely if it is made by the close of the next business
day. A business day is any day other than a Saturday, Sunday, or
legal holiday. For example, if a deposit is required to be made on
a Friday and Friday is a legal holiday, the deposit will be
considered timely if it is made by the following Monday (if that
Monday is a business day). The term “legal holiday” means any
legal holiday in the District of Columbia.

address and the organization has a P.O. box, show the box
number instead of the street address.
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

Responsible Party—Business, to notify the IRS of the new
address.
Penalties may be imposed if the organization is required to file
Form 1120-POL and it fails to file the form by the due date. The
following penalties may apply if the organization doesn’t file its
tax return by the due date, including extensions.
Amended return. If you are filing an amended Form 1120-POL:
Late filing of return. The organization may be charged a
penalty of 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 return that is more than 60 days late is the
smaller of the tax due or $485. If you receive a notice about a
penalty after you file this return, reply to the notice with an
explanation and we will determine if you meet reasonable-cause
criteria. Do not include an explanation when you file your return.

unpaid tax for each month or part of a month the tax isn’t paid,
up to a maximum of 25% of the unpaid tax. If you receive a
notice about a penalty after you file this return, reply to the notice
with an explanation and we will determine if you meet
reasonable-cause criteria. Do not include an explanation when
you file your return.
Employer identification number (EIN). Enter the nine-digit
EIN assigned to the organization. If the organization doesn’t
have an EIN, it must apply for one. An EIN can be applied for
online by visiting the IRS website at www.irs.gov/EIN. The
organization may also apply for an EIN by faxing or mailing Form
SS-4 to the IRS. Customers outside the United States or U.S.
territories may also apply for an EIN by calling 267-941-1099 (toll
call).
Other penalties. Other penalties can be imposed for
negligence, substantial understatement of tax, and fraud. See
sections 6662 and 6663.
The online application process isn’t yet available for
organizations with addresses in foreign countries.
If the organization hasn’t received its EIN by the time the
return is due, write “Applied for” in the space provided for the
