Income Re-Sourced by Treaty  
If a sourcing rule in an applicable  
income tax treaty treats any U.S.  
source income as foreign source, and  
the corporation elects to apply the  
treaty, the income will be treated as  
foreign source.  
Foreign branch category income is  
effective for tax years of U.S. persons  
beginning after December 31, 2017.  
Passive Category Income  
Passive category income includes  
passive income and specified passive  
category income. When completing a  
Form 1118 for passive category  
income, enter the code "PAS" on line

Important. The corporation must

which it claims benefits under a treaty.  
See Regulations sections 1.904-4(k)  
and 1.904-5(m)(7) for grouping rules

Section 901(j) Income  
No credit is allowed for foreign income  
taxes imposed by and paid or accrued  
to certain sanctioned countries.  
However, a foreign tax credit may be  
claimed for foreign income taxes paid  
or accrued with respect to section  
901(j) income if such tax is paid or  
accrued to a country other than a  
sanctioned country.  
Passive income. Generally, passive  
income is the following:  
Any income received or accrued  
that would be foreign personal holding  
company income (defined in section  
954(c)) if the corporation were a  
controlled foreign corporation (CFC)  
(defined in section 957). This includes  
any gain on the sale or exchange of  
stock that is more than the amount  
treated as a dividend under section  
1248. However, in determining if any  
income would be foreign personal  
holding company income, the rules of  
section 864(d)(6) will apply only for  
income of a CFC.  
Income derived from each  
sanctioned country is subject to a  
separate foreign tax credit limitation.  
Therefore, the corporation must use a  
separate Form 1118 for income  
derived from each such country.

income tax treaty treats any U.S.  
source passive category income as

includes high-taxed income that is not  
otherwise treated as another category  
of income. Usually, income is high  
taxed if the total foreign income taxes  
paid, accrued, or deemed paid by the  
corporation for that income exceed  
the highest rate of tax specified in  
section 11 (and with reference to  
section 15, if applicable), multiplied by  
the amount of such income (including

from a U.S.-owned foreign  
corporation, otherwise treated as  
foreign source income, must be  
treated as U.S. source income under  
section 904(h).  
However, dividends received or  
accrued from a noncontrolled  
10%-owned foreign corporation may  
be assigned to other separate  
categories under the look-through  
rules of section 904(d)(4).

Foreign corporations. Foreign  
corporations are allowed (under  
section 906) a foreign tax credit for  
foreign income taxes paid or accrued  
to any foreign country or U.S. territory  
for income effectively connected with  
the conduct of a trade or business  
within the United States. The credit is  
not applicable, however, if a foreign  
country or U.S. territory imposes the  
tax on income from U.S. sources  
solely because the foreign corporation  
was created or organized under the  
law of the foreign country or U.S.  
territory or is domiciled there for tax  
purposes.  
The credit may not be taken  
against any tax imposed on income  
not effectively connected with a U.S.  
business.

taxable income includes only the

The length of a given reference ID  
number is limited to 50 characters.  
Where gross income is derived  
from a related person (within the  
meaning of section 267(b) or 707(b)),  
enter the EIN or reference ID number  
of such related person. In the case of  
income derived from a QBU of the  
related person, enter the EIN or  
reference ID number of the QBU.  
Enter the EIN or reference ID number  
of related entities and their QBUs  
through which the corporation paid or  
accrued creditable foreign taxes, even  
if no income from these entities is  
reported on Schedule A. If gross  
income is received or derived from an  
entity other than a related person, an  
EIN or reference ID number is not  
required.  
For these purposes, the term  
"alphanumeric" means the entry can  
be alphabetical, numeric, or any  
combination of the two.  
Lines a, b, and c at the top of  
page 1 of the form. The corporation  
must complete a separate Form 1118

earlier, for the code to enter on line a  
(at the top of page 1 of the form). Also  
see those instructions for the country  
code to enter on line b or line c, if  
applicable.  
The same reference ID number  
must be used consistently from tax  
year to tax year with respect to a given  
entity. If for any reason a reference ID  
number falls out of use (for example,  
the entity no longer exists due to  
disposition or liquidation), the  
reference ID number used for that  
entity cannot be used again for  
another entity for purposes of filing  
Form 1118.  
There are some situations that  
require correlation of a new reference  
ID number with a previous reference  
ID number when assigning a new  
reference ID number to an entity. For  
example:  
Schedule A  
Report gross income from sources  
outside the United States for the  
applicable separate category in  
columns 3(a) through 11. Report the  
applicable deductions to this gross  
income in columns 13 and 14. Report  
any net operating loss carryover in  
column 15.  
Example 1. Domestic Corporation  
earns sales income from sales to  
unrelated persons. Domestic  
Corporation leaves column 1 blank  
and enters the sales income in  
column 7.  
In the case of a merger or  
acquisition, a Form 1118 filer must  
use a reference ID number which  
correlates the previous reference ID  
number with the new reference ID  
number assigned to the entity.  
Column 1. Column 1 generally  
requests an employer identification  
number (EIN) or a reference ID  
number for related persons or their  
QBUs from or through which the  
corporation derived foreign source  
income and/or paid or accrued  
creditable foreign taxes.  
Example 2. USC, a domestic  
corporation, takes into account its  
distributive share of partnership  
income with respect to USPS, a  
domestic partnership in which USC
