Cbt 2553 Form PDF Details

Navigating the complexities of tax obligations and corporate structure decisions in New Jersey requires a good understanding of specific forms like the CBT-2553. This form serves as a crucial tool for corporations aiming to elect treatment as either a New Jersey S corporation or a New Jersey Qualified Subchapter S Subsidiary (QSSS). With its roots firmly planted in the requirements laid out by the New Jersey Division of Taxation, the form outlines procedures not only for initial election but also for notifying the state of changes in shareholders. Detailing essential corporate information, shareholder's consent, and the corporation's consent to adhere to the stipulated tax obligations, it stands as a testament to a corporation's compliance with state tax laws. Additionally, it addresses the scenarios involving changes in shareholder status and ends with the necessary steps for S corporations intending to be treated as QSSS. Completing and filing this form within specified deadlines enables corporations to benefit from the tax attributes associated with these designations, underscoring the importance of its timely and accurate submission. Beyond the immediate implications for tax treatment, the form also encapsulates the broader commitment of a corporation to maintain transparency and accountability in its financial and operational endeavors within New Jersey.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR FORM CBT-2553

1.Purpose - A corporation must file form CBT-2553 to elect to be treated as a New Jersey S corporation or a New Jersey QSSS or to report a change in shareholders. Check the appropriate box to indicate if this is an initial S corporation election or a change in S or QSSS corporation shareholders or a New Jersey QSSS elec- tion.

2.Who may elect - A corporation may make the election to be treat- ed as a New Jersey S corporation only if it meets all of the follow- ing criteria:

a)The corporation is or will be an S corporation pursuant to section 1361 of the Federal Internal Revenue Code;

b)Each shareholder of the corporation consents to the election and the jurisdictional requirements as detailed in Part II of this form;

c)The corporation consents to the election and the assumption of any tax liabilities of any nonconsenting shareholder who was not an initial shareholder as indicated in Part III of this form.

3.Where to file - Mail form CBT-2553 to: New Jersey Division of Revenue, PO Box 252, Trenton, NJ 08646-0252 (Registered Mail Receipt is suggested)

4.When to make the election - The completed form CBT-2553 shall be filed within one calendar month of the time at which a Federal S corporation election would be required. Specifically, it must be filed at any time before the 16th day of the fourth month of the first tax year the election is to take effect (if the tax year has 3-1/2 months or less, and the election is made not later than 3 months and 15 days after the first day of the tax year, it shall be treated as timely made during such year). An election made by a small busi- ness corporation after the fifteenth day of the fourth month but before the end of the tax year is treated as made for the next year.

5.Acceptance or non-acceptance of election - The Division of Revenue will notify you if your election is accepted or not accept-

ed within 30 days after the filing of the CBT-2553 form. If you are not notified within 30 days, call (609) 292-9292.

6.End of election - Generally, once an election is made, a corpora- tion remains a New Jersey S corporation as long as it is a Federal S corporation. There is a limited opportunity to revoke an election only during the first tax year to which an election would otherwise apply. To revoke an election, a letter of revocation signed by

shareholders holding more than 50% of the outstanding shares of stock on the day of revocation should be mailed to the address in instruction 3 on or before the last day of the first tax year to which the election would otherwise apply. A copy of the original election should accompany the letter of revocation. Such a revocation will render the original election null and void from inception.

7.Initial election - Complete Parts I, II and III in their entirety for an initial New Jersey S Corporation election. Each shareholder who owns (or is deemed to own) stock at the time the election is made, must consent to the election. A list providing the social security number and the address of any shareholder who is not a New Jersey resident must be attached when filing this form.

8.Reporting shareholders who were not initial shareholders - Complete Parts I, II and III when filing this form to report any new shareholder. A new shareholder is a shareholder who, prior to the acquisition of stock, did not own any shares of stock in the S cor- poration, but who acquired stock (either existing shares or shares issued at a later date) subsequent to the initial New Jersey S cor- poration election. If a new shareholder fails to sign a consent statement, the corporation is obligated to fulfill the tax require- ments as stated in Part III on behalf of the nonconsenting share- holder. An existing shareholder whose percentage of stock own- ership changes is not considered a new shareholder. If the tax- payer previously had elected to be treated as a New Jersey QSSS, the new shareholder must also complete Part V.

9.Part IV should only be completed for any person who is no longer a shareholder of the corporation. You do not have to enter any shareholder who sold or transferred all of his or her stock before the election was made. All changes can be filed with the S corpo- ration final return.

10.Part V must be completed in order to permit a New Jersey S Corporation to be treated as a New Jersey Qualified Subchapter S Subsidiary and remit only a minimum tax. In addition, the parent company also must consent to filing and remitting New Jersey Corporation Business Tax which would include the assets, liabili- ties, income and expenses of its QSSS along with its own. Failure of the parent either to consent or file a CBT-100 or CBT-100S for a period will result in the disallowance of the New Jersey QSSS election and require the subsidiary to file and remit a CBT-100S determining its own liability.
