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.

Note. Because reference ID numbers
are established by or on behalf of the
U.S. corporation filing certain forms
such as the Form 1118, there is no
need to apply to the IRS to request a

to use these numbers.
If the corporation does not comply

Note. Taxpayers no longer have the
option of entering “FOREIGNUS” or

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

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

required.
For these purposes, the term
"alphanumeric" means the entry can
be alphabetical, numeric, or any
combination of the two.

must complete a separate Form 1118
for each applicable category of
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

applicable deductions to this gross
income in columns 13 and 14. Report
any net operating loss carryover in

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 for related persons or their
QBUs from or through which the
corporation derived foreign source
income and/or paid or accrued
creditable foreign taxes.
