Relation back year. Relation back year
means the U.S. tax year in which the
foreign taxes being redetermined were
originally taken into account.
The above columns request the reference
ID number for contested foreign income
tax. The instructions for those columns tell
filers to enter the reference ID number for
the contested foreign income tax that was
reported on the applicable Form 7204.
Because the reference ID number for
contested foreign income tax reported on
Form 7204 is limited to 12 characters, the
entry spaces for the above columns can
be limited to 12 characters.

Who Must File
Any taxpayer that has a foreign tax
redetermination under section 905(c) must
complete this schedule and attach it to the
income tax return for the taxable year in
which the foreign tax redetermination
occurs. This schedule must be submitted
irrespective of whether the foreign tax

ended within U.S. taxable year 1. The
relation back year is U.S. taxable year 1.
On page 4 of the Schedule L, the
sentence “Do not complete Part V for the
tax year 2022” has been deleted in the
Part V heading.
Affected tax year. Affected tax year
means any tax year for which the U.S. tax
liability is changed as a result of a foreign
tax redetermination. This includes tax
years in which the U.S. tax liability is
changed as a result of a change in a
carryover of a tax attribute, such as a
foreign tax credit carryover or a net
operating loss carryover, from a relation
back year.
Note. If the U.S. tax liability for any year
changes by reason of the foreign tax
redetermination, the taxpayer must file an
amended return for the taxable year with
respect to which the U.S. tax liability is
adjusted, in addition to filing Schedule L
for the year in which the foreign tax
General Instructions
Purpose of Schedule
Schedule L (Form 1118) is used to identify
foreign tax redeterminations that occur in

separate category, the years to which they
relate, and other information that satisfies
the taxpayer’s obligation to notify the IRS
of foreign tax redeterminations related to
prior years.

currency means the dollar, or in the case
of a qualified business unit (QBU), the
currency of the economic environment in
which a significant part of such unit’s
activities are conducted and which is used
by such unit in keeping its books and
records. See section 985(b).

redeterminations that resulted in an
increase in the amount of foreign taxes

foreign corporation with respect to which
the taxpayer computed an amount of

not change the amount of U.S. tax due for
any taxable year, the taxpayer does not
need to file an amended return. The

as the number of U.S. dollars that equal
one unit of foreign currency.
