Who Must Receive Form 1097-BTC
*Dates may change due to weekends or holidays.
Each person who is allowed a tax credit as a holder, directly
or indirectly, of a tax credit bond or a stripped credit coupon
on one or more credit allowance dates during the calendar
year in an amount of at least $10 must be issued Form
1097-BTC.
For the first 3 quarters, report to the recipient only the
amounts for the months of the applicable quarter. Box 1
should not be completed and box 6 is optional.
You are not required to furnish a separate report solely for
the 4th quarter because the 4th quarter amounts are reported
with the annual filing. For the annual filing, report the credits
for each month in boxes 5a–5l; report the total of those
amounts in box 1; and complete the rest of the form as
applicable. Furnish the annual filing to the recipient by
February 15, of the subsequent year.
If any amounts previously furnished for the first 3 quarters
need to be corrected, report the correct amounts for the
annual reporting and explain the correction to the recipient;
no explanation is required for the IRS filing.
For the report furnished to the recipient (quarterly or
annual), you may use Copy B or your own substitute
statement reporting all the same applicable information (the
reporting for the first 3 quarters may be furnished
electronically). See Pub. 1179 for specific rules about
providing substitute statements to recipients.
The IRS encourages Form 1097-BTC issuers to provide
the credit information to the recipient monthly if applicable,
and as soon after the end of the month in which a credit
arises as possible.
For more information about the requirement to furnish a
statement to the recipient, see part M in the current General
Instructions for Certain Information Returns.
Bond issuer. If issuing the Form 1097-BTC as an issuer of
the bond or its agent, box 2a of the form will always reflect
code “C” and box 2b must reflect the CUSIP number for the
bond or stripped coupon, unless a CUSIP number was not
2b.
Credit Allowance Dates
The tax credit from tax credit bonds or stripped credit
coupons is allowed on each credit allowance date for which
the bond was outstanding or to which the stripped credit
coupon corresponds. For qualified tax credit bonds and
clean renewable energy bonds, the credit allowance dates
are March 15, June 15, September 15, December 15, and
the last day on which the bond is outstanding. For bonds
issued during the 3-month period ending on a credit
allowance date, the amount of the credit is determined
ratably based on the portion of the 3-month period during
which the bond is outstanding. The same ratable
determination of credit applies when a bond is redeemed or
matures. For build America bonds (Tax Credit), the credit
allowance dates are the interest payment dates. For qualified
zone academy bonds issued before October 4, 2008, the
credit allowance date is the last day of the 1-year period
beginning on the issue date of the bond and each
anniversary of such day thereafter.
The tax credit allowed to holders of any tax credit bonds or
stripped credit coupons is treated as interest which is
included in gross income and must be reported as interest
income on a Form 1099-INT or Form 1099-OID, as
applicable. For more information on reporting the tax credit
treated as interest income paid from tax credit bonds, see the
Instructions for Forms 1099-INT and 1099-OID.

are an entity or a person that received or should have
received a Form 1097-BTC for credit(s) that was or should
have been reported and that is distributing part or all of that
credit to others.
Note. Do not use the address of the registered agent for the
state in which the entity is incorporated. For example, if a

corporation's principal office is located in Little Rock, AR, the
corporation should enter the Little Rock address.
If the entity receives its mail in care of a third party (such
as an accountant or an attorney), enter for the street address
“C/O” followed by the third party's name and street address
or P.O. box.

Truncating Recipient's TIN on Recipient
Statements
Pursuant to Regulations section 301.6109-4, all filers of this
form may truncate a recipient's TIN (social security number
(SSN), employer identification number (EIN), individual
taxpayer identification number (ITIN), or adoption taxpayer
identification number (ATIN)) on recipient statements.
Truncation is not allowed on any documents the filer files with
the IRS. A filer's TIN may not be truncated on any form. See
part J in the current General Instructions for Certain
Information Returns.
Box 2b. Unique Identifier
The unique identification number is assigned by the Form
1097-BTC issuer and is limited to 39 alphanumeric
characters. It can be the CUSIP number, account number, or
any other unique identification number by which you track the
bond transactions.
For a bond issuer (or its agent) filing Form 1097-BTC for a
bond, the unique identification number must start with the
CUSIP number(s), if available, and may be expanded by the
account number or any other self-provided number(s). If a
CUSIP number was not issued for the bond, the bond issuer
may use or devise its own unique identifier, preferably the
account number or other reference number by which you
track and account for the bond transaction. A recipient of a
Form 1097-BTC that issues its own Form 1097-BTC to
further distribute the credit may use or devise its own unique
identifier using whatever means it deems best.
Recipient's TIN
Enter the TIN of the recipient of the distributed (or stripped)
credit from the tax credit bond. Do not truncate the recipient's
TIN on the form filed with the IRS. Truncation of the
recipient's TIN is allowed on the statement to the recipient.
See the current General Instructions for Certain Information
Returns.

STEP 1. For each recipient, multiply the outstanding face
amount of the qualified tax credit bond, clean renewable
energy bond, or qualified zone academy bond issued before
-3-
Instructions for Form 1097-BTC (Rev. 12-2019)
October 4, 2008, by the applicable credit rate. The
outstanding face amount of the bond is the face amount of
the bond minus any principal that has been paid. The credit
rate for the qualified tax credit bond, clean renewable energy
bond, or qualified zone academy bond issued before
October 4, 2008, is the rate published on the Treasury Direct
website under “IRS Tax Credit Bond Rates” at
amount determined in STEP 1 in box 5l and 100% (1.0) of the
credit amount determined in STEP 1 in box 1.
However, the 25% will be prorated for any credit
allowance date if a clean renewable energy bond or qualified
tax credit bond is issued, redeemed, or matures during the
3-month period ending on a credit allowance date with
respect to which you are reporting the credit. The percentage
of credit allowed for that credit allowance date is prorated for
the number of days the bond was outstanding during the
3-month period.
TreasuryDirect.gov/govt/rates/rates_irstcb.htm for the first
day on which there is a binding contract in writing for the sale
or exchange of the bond.
The credit rate for qualified zone academy bonds issued
before July 1, 1999, is 110% (1.10) of the long-term
applicable federal rate (AFR), compounded annually, for the
month and year the bond is issued. The IRS announces the
long-term AFR monthly in a series of revenue rulings
published in the Internal Revenue Bulletin.
For build America bonds (Tax Credit), multiply by 35%
(0.35) the amount of interest payable with respect to the
interest payment date for which you are filing Form
1097-BTC or sending a statement to the credit recipient.
Enter the credit amount so determined in boxes 5a–5l for the
month in which the interest payment date occurred. Thus, if
the interest payment dates for a build America bond are June
30 and December 31, enter the credit amounts in boxes 5f
and 5l.
54AA, earlier.
Example 2. A qualified zone academy bond that you
issued matures on March 23, 2020. Since the bond was not
outstanding for the entire 3-month period on June 15, 2020,
the prorated portion of the 25% is figured by dividing (a) the
number of days the bond was outstanding beginning on the
day after the prior (March 15) credit allowance date and
ending on March 23, 2020, by (b) the number of days
included in the 3-month period beginning on the day after the
prior (March 15) credit allowance date and ending on the
next (June 15) credit allowance date. See Proration
Calculation below.
Proration Calculation
For qualified zone academy bonds issued before October
4, 2008, enter the amount so determined in the box 5 that
corresponds to the credit allowance date. When filing the
annual Form 1097-BTC with the IRS, enter the same amount
in box 1.
8 days (number of days from March
16 through March 23)
= 0.087 x 0.25 = 2% (0.02)
92 days (number of days from
March 16 through June 15)
STEP 2. For qualified tax credit bonds or clean renewable
energy bonds only, multiply the credit amount so determined
in STEP 1 by 25% (0.25) for each credit allowance date you
hold a qualified tax credit bond or clean renewable energy
bond during your tax year. Enter the credit amount
determined in STEP 2 in the box for the month in which the
credit allowance date occurred.
Example 1. You issued a qualified energy conservation
bond on March 15, 2018. For the Form 1097-BTC statement
for the March 15, 2020, credit allowance date, due to the
recipient by May 15, 2020, you would enter 25% (0.25) of the
amount computed in STEP 1 in 5c. For the Form 1097-BTC
statement for the June 15, 2020, credit allowance date, due
to the recipient by August 17, 2020, you would enter 25%
(0.25) of the amount computed in STEP 1 in box 5f. For the
Form 1097-BTC statement for the September 15, 2020,
credit allowance date, due to the recipient by November 16,
2020, you would enter 25% (0.25) of the amount computed in
STEP 1 in 5i. For the annual Form 1097-BTC and December
15, 2020, credit allowance date, due to the recipient by
February 16, 2021, and to the IRS by March 1, 2021 (March
31, 2021, if filed electronically), enter 25% (0.25) of the credit
Thus, for the credit allowance date with respect to the
3-month period in which the bond matures, you would
multiply the credit amount determined in STEP 1 by the
prorated percentage. In Example 2, for the 2nd quarter
reporting period for 2020, due to the recipient by August 17,
2021, you would enter the amount determined by multiplying
2% (0.02) with the credit amount determined in STEP 1 in
box 5f. You would carry the same percentage to the Total
annual credit reported in box 1 for the annual/4th quarter
reporting period filed with the IRS and sent to the recipient.
Thus, in Example 2, you would enter in box 1 “27%” (0.27) of
the amount determined in STEP 1.
Note. For new clean renewable energy bonds issued under
section 54C and qualified energy conservation bonds issued
under section 54D, report the credit amount after the 70%
limit has been applied.
