to indicate how the FSC met the foreign
direct costs requirement.
Meetings of directors and meetings of
the shareholders. All meetings of the
board of directors of the FSC and all
meetings of the shareholders of the FSC that
take place during the tax year must take
place outside the United States.
In addition, all such meetings must
comply with the local laws of the foreign
country or U.S. possession in which the FSC
was created or organized. The local laws
determine whether a meeting must be held,
when and where it must be held (if it is held
at all), who must be present, quorum
requirements, use of proxies, etc.
Grouping transactions. Generally, the
foreign direct cost tests under Regulations
section 1.924(d)-1(d) are applied on a
transaction-by-transaction basis. However,
the FSC may make an annual election (on
line 10d, Additional Information, on page 2 of
the form) to apply the foreign direct cost tests
on a customer, contract, or product or
product line grouping basis. Any grouping
used must be supported by adequate
documentation of performance of activities
and costs of activities relating to the grouping
used. See Regulations section 1.924(d)-1(e)
for details.

described in each of two of the section
924(e) categories. The costs must equal or
exceed 85% of the total direct costs incurred
by the FSC attributable to the activity
described in each of the two categories. If no
direct costs are incurred by the FSC in a
particular category, that category is not taken
into account for purposes of determining
whether the FSC has met either the 50% or
85% foreign direct cost test.
Exception for foreign military property.
The economic process rules do not apply to
any activities performed in connection with
foreign military sales except those activities
described in section 924(e). See Regulations
section 1.924(d)-1(f) for details.
Foreign Economic Process Rules
A FSC (other than a small FSC) has foreign
trading gross receipts from any transaction
only if certain economic processes for the
transaction take place outside the United
States. Section 924(d) and Regulations
section 1.924(d)-1 set forth the rules for
determining whether a sufficient amount of
the economic processes of a transaction
takes place outside the United States.
Section 925(c) Rule
To use the administrative pricing rules to
determine the FSC's (or small FSC's) profit
on a transaction or group of transactions, the
FSC must perform (or contract with another
person to perform) all of the economic

Generally, a transaction will qualify if the
FSC satisfies two requirements:
the performance of the activity and the cost
of labor that can be identified or associated
directly with the performance of the activity
(but only to the extent of wages, salaries,
fees for professional services, and other
amounts paid for services actually rendered,
such as bonuses or compensation paid for
services on the basis of a percentage of
profits); and

made to include on the FSC's books all
expenses, other than cost of goods sold, that
are necessary to figure combined taxable
income for the transaction or group of
transactions. The expenses must be
identified on Schedule G on the applicable
line.
The activities comprising these economic
processes may be performed by the FSC or
by any other person acting under contract
with the FSC.
Include the allowable depreciation
•
deduction for equipment or facilities (or the
rental cost for its use) that can be specifically
identified or associated with the activity, as
well as the contract price of an activity
performed on behalf of the FSC by a
contractor.
Participation outside the United States in
the sales portion of the transaction.
Generally, the requirement of section 924(d)
(1)(A) is met for the gross receipts of a FSC
derived from any transaction if the FSC has
participated outside the United States in the
following sales activities relating to the
transaction: (1) solicitation (other than
advertising), (2) negotiation, and (3) making
a contract.
1. Solicitation (other than advertising) is
any communication (including, but not limited
to, telephone, telegraph, mail, or in person)
by the FSC, to a specific, targeted customer
or potential customer.
Who Must File
File Form 1120-FSC if the corporation
elected to be treated as a FSC or small FSC,
and the election is still in effect.
Total direct costs means all of the direct
costs of any transaction attributable to
activities described in any paragraph of
section 924(e). For purposes of the 50% test
of section 924(d)(1)(B), total direct costs are
based on the direct costs of all activities
described in all paragraphs of section
924(e). For purposes of the 85% test of
section 924(d)(2), however, the total direct
costs are determined separately for each
paragraph of section 924(e).

same-day payment on its behalf or it can
arrange for a qualified intermediary, tax
professional, payroll service, or other trusted
third party to make a deposit on its behalf
using a master account. In addition, the FSC
still has the option to pay by check or money

Accounting Period
(defined below), a FSC must use an accrual
method for sales and purchases of inventory
items. See the instructions for Form 1125-A.
A FSC must figure its taxable income on the
basis of a tax year. A tax year is the annual
accounting period a FSC uses to keep its
records and report its income and expenses.
Generally, FSCs may use a calendar year or
a fiscal year. Personal service corporations,
however, must generally use a calendar year.
A corporation engaged in farming must
•
use an accrual method. For exceptions, see
section 447 and Pub. 225.
Special rules apply to long-term contracts.
•
See section 460.
Note. The tax year of a FSC must be the
same as the tax year of the principal
shareholder which, at the beginning of the
FSC tax year, has the highest percentage of
voting power. If two or more shareholders
have the highest percentage of voting power,
the FSC must have a tax year that conforms
to the tax year of any such shareholder. See
section 441(h).
Small business taxpayer. For tax years
beginning in 2023, a FSC qualifies as a small
business taxpayer if (a) it has average annual
gross receipts of $29 million or less for the 3
prior tax years, and (b) is not a tax shelter (as
defined in section 448(d)(3)).
A small business taxpayer can account
for inventory by (a) treating the inventory as
non-incidental materials and supplies, or (b)
conforming to its treatment of inventory in an
applicable financial statement (as defined in
section 451(b)(3)). If it does not have an
applicable financial statement, it can use the
method of accounting used in its books and
records prepared according to its accounting
procedures.
Rounding Off to Whole
Dollars
The FSC may enter decimal points and cents Note. If the due date falls on a Saturday,
when completing its return. However, the
corporation should round off cents to whole
dollars on its return, forms, and schedules to
make completing its return easier. The
Sunday, or legal holiday, the payment is due
on the next day that isn't a Saturday, Sunday,
or legal holiday.
Change in accounting method. Generally,
an FSC must get IRS consent to change
either an overall method of accounting or the
accounting treatment of any material item for
income tax purposes. To obtain consent, the
corporation must generally file Form 3115,
Application for Change in Accounting
Method, during the tax year for which the
change is requested. See the Instructions for
Form 3115 and Pub. 538 for more
Electronic Deposit Requirement
corporation must either round off all amounts
on its return to whole dollars or use cents for
all amounts. To round, drop amounts under
50 cents and increase amounts from 50 to 99
cents to the next dollar. For example, $8.40
rounds to $8 and $8.50 rounds to $9.
FSCs with an office or place of business in
the United States must use electronic funds
transfers to make all federal tax deposits
(such as deposits of employment and
corporate income tax). Generally, electronic
funds transfers are made using EFTPS.

Recordkeeping
Keep the FSC's records for as long as they
may be needed for the administration of any
provision of the Internal Revenue Code.
Usually, records that support an item of
income, deduction, or credit on the return
must be kept for 3 years from the date the
return is due or filed, whichever is later. Keep

Section 481(a) adjustment. If the
FSC’s taxable income for the current tax year
is figured under a method of accounting
different from the method used in the
preceding tax year, the corporation may have
to make an adjustment under section 481(a)
to prevent amounts of income or expense
from being duplicated or omitted. The
section 481(a) adjustment period is generally
1 year for a net negative adjustment and 4
years for a net positive adjustment. See the
Instructions for Form 3115.
Exceptions to the general section 481(a)
adjustment period may apply. Also, in some
cases, a corporation can elect to modify the
section 481(a) adjustment period. The
corporation may have to complete the
appropriate lines of Form 3115 to make an
election. See the Instructions for Form 3115
for more information and exceptions.

Depositing on time. For any deposit made
by EFTPS to be on time, the FSC must
submit the deposit by 8 p.m. Eastern time the
day before the date the deposit is due. If the
FSC uses a third party to make deposits on
its behalf, they may have different cutoff
times.
The FSC should keep copies of all filed
returns. They help in preparing future and
amended returns and in the calculation of
earnings and profits.
Tax Payments
The FSC must pay any tax due in full no later
than the due date for filing Form 1120-FSC
File, earlier, for this due date. The method for
payment of the tax due depends upon
whether the FSC has an office or place of
business in the United States.
Same-day wire payment option. If the
FSC 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 the
deposit on time by using the Federal Tax
Collection Service (FTCS). To use the

Generally, unless you are a small business
taxpayer, inventories are required at the

purchase or sale of merchandise is an
income-producing factor. See Regulations
section 1.471-1. Additionally, if inventories
are required, you generally must use an
overall accrual method of accounting.
that conforms to the requirements of the
applicable regulations.
Stock owned directly by other members
of the group is not counted when computing
the voting power or value.
See sections 927(d)(4) and 1563(d)(1) for
the definition of “stock” for purposes of
determining stock ownership above.
FSCs that use erroneous valuation
methods must change to a method permitted
for federal income tax purposes. To make
this change, use Form 3115. See the

purchased by the taxpayer. If section 263A
applies to the taxpayer, the basic elements of
cost must reflect the current bid price of all
direct costs and all indirect costs properly
allocable to goods on hand at the inventory
date.
Inventory may be valued below cost when
the merchandise is unsalable at normal
prices or unusable in the normal way
because the goods are subnormal due to
damage, imperfections, shop wear, etc. The
goods may be valued at the bona fide selling
price, minus direct cost of disposition (but
not less than scrap value). Bona fide selling
price means actual offering of goods during a
period ending not later than 30 days after
inventory date.
Note. Do not include backup withholding
amounts on line 2g. Include on line 2g only
amounts withheld under Chapter 3 or 4 of the
Code.
Small business taxpayer. For tax years
beginning in 2023, a FSC qualifies as a small
business taxpayer if (a) it has average annual
gross receipts of $29 million or less for the 3
prior tax years, and (b) is not a tax shelter (as
defined in section 448(d)(3)).
Line 3. Estimated tax penalty. A FSC that
does not make estimated tax payments
when due may be subject to an
underpayment penalty for the period of
underpayment. Generally, a FSC is subject to
the penalty if its tax liability is $500 or more
and it did not timely pay at least the smaller

indicate how the FSC met the foreign direct
costs requirement of section 924(d) for all
transactions that generated foreign trading
gross receipts reported on lines 1 through 5
of Schedule B. Also, complete line 10a

Lines 6b through 6h. See section 924(b)
(2)(B) for the rules regarding the limitation on
the amount of foreign trading gross receipts
that a small FSC can take into account in
determining its exempt foreign trade income.
Additional Information
Line 6d. Temporary Regulations section
1.921-1T(b)(5) indicates that, in the case of a
small FSC having a short tax year, the dollar
limitation reported on line 6b or 6c is to be
prorated on a daily basis. A small FSC
having a short tax year must divide the
number of days in its short tax year by the
number of days that would have made up a
full tax year and enter the resulting fraction
on line 6d as a decimal less than 1.00000.
Example. For its 2023 calendar year tax
year, a small FSC has a short tax year of 73
days. The FSC enters 0.20 (73/365) on
line 6d.
Line 2. Enter any tax-exempt interest
received or accrued. Include any
exempt-interest dividends received as a
shareholder in a mutual fund or other
regulated investment company. Also include
this amount on Schedule M-1, line 7a.

from all sources.
Line 5. If the FSC owned at least a 10%
interest, directly or indirectly, in any foreign
partnership, attach a statement listing the
following information for each foreign
partnership. For this purpose, a foreign
partnership includes an entity treated as a
foreign partnership under Regulations
section 301.7701-2 or 301.7701-3.
