the following rules apply: The taxpayer
may claim an ETI exclusion with respect to
transactions in the ordinary course of a

if such contract is between the taxpayer
and an unrelated person (defined below)
and such contract was in effect on
September 17, 2003, and at all times
thereafter.

Part I–Elections and Other
Effect of election. For purposes of
section 367, a foreign corporation that has
elected to be a domestic corporation is
generally treated as transferring, as of the
first day of the first tax year to which the
election applies, all of its assets to a
domestic corporation in an exchange
under section 354.
Information
Example. If you have no foreign sale
and leasing income and you apply the
15% of foreign trade income method to all
transactions in three separate product
lines, you would file three aggregate
Forms 8873. However, if you use the 1.2%
of foreign trading gross receipts method
for some of the transactions in one of the
product lines, you would then file four
aggregate Forms 8873.

Note. Taxpayers that check box (1)(a) of
line 5c may aggregate transactions on the
same Form 8873 only if they are applying
the same method (for example, 15% of

Transactions, earlier).
Note. The extraterritorial income
exclusion provisions and the FSC

made and all later tax years. The election
may be revoked only with IRS consent.

exclusion for a related person because of
the limitation under section 941(a)(3) on
the use of the 1.2% of foreign trading
gross receipts method. Therefore, to
maximize the combined exclusion for you
and that related person, you may prefer to
enter on line 45 the greatest of lines 33,
36, 38, or 44 (instead of the amount on
line 42).
Line 14, column (b). Enter on this line
only the sum of those portions of the
amounts on lines 6, 9, 12, and 13, column
(a), that are attributable to foreign
economic processes (see definition
earlier). Because only foreign trading
gross receipts attributable to foreign
economic processes are included in
line 14, column (b), the amount entered on
line 14, column (b), will not necessarily
equal the total of the foreign trading gross
receipts amounts entered on lines 6, 9, 12,
and 13, column (a).
Line 50. If you had any operations in or
related to a country associated with
carrying out an international boycott or you

for each group of transactions instead of
