Frequently Asked Questions About California Schedule R
What is California Schedule R used for?
California Schedule R is used by corporations to apportion and allocate income between California and other states. It determines what percentage of a corporation's total business income is subject to California franchise or income tax, based on the corporation's California sales, property, and payroll relative to its totals from all states.
Who is required to file Schedule R?
Any corporation that has income from California sources and income from outside California must file Schedule R with their Form 100 tax return. This includes C corporations, corporations making a Water's-Edge election, and limited liability companies taxed as corporations with multi-state operations.
What is the single-sales factor apportionment formula?
The single-sales factor formula calculates California's share of a corporation's income based on the percentage of total sales attributed to California customers. If a corporation has total sales of $1 million and $300,000 in California sales, California would tax 30% of its business income. This is the standard apportionment method for most California corporations.
What are Schedule R supplemental schedules R-1 through R-7?
The supplemental schedules handle specific income situations. R-1 covers apportionment for banks and financial institutions. R-2 addresses income from installment sales. Other schedules cover interest offsets, nonbusiness income allocation, dividends, and deductions related to sales of assets across multiple tax periods.
