Delaware Form 700 PDF Details

The State of Delaware offers a variety of income tax credits designed to stimulate economic growth, support green industries, foster research and development, conserve land and historic resources, preserve historic sites, mitigate traffic through the Travelink program, and encourage investment in community-based programs. These incentives, outlined in the Delaware 700 Income Tax Credit Schedule, are available for different types of entities, including C corporations, S corporations, partnerships, sole proprietors, estates/trusts, and decedent estates. Each section within the form accommodates the computation of credits, starting with carryovers from previous years and adding in the current year's approved credits. For those qualifying, these credits can significantly reduce the Delaware income tax liability, subject to specific limitations. For instance, economic development, green industries, and research and development credits are limited to 50% of the tax liability, while other credits can offset up to 100% of the liability. It is critical for taxpayers to understand the form's instructions for accurately claiming their eligible credits, considering their entity type and ownership percentage in pass-through entities. The final tally from this form directly impacts what is claimed on Delaware income tax returns, demonstrating the form's essential role in Delaware's fiscal landscape.

SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS

Delaware Form 700 must be completed by the person actually claiming the credits on the Delaware income tax return. A qualified and approved C corporation or Sole Proprietor will claim the credit directly on their respective Delaware income tax return. A Partnership or S corporation does not directly claim the Delaware income tax credits because the entities are classified as pass-through entities. The partners of the partnership or the shareholders of the S corporation will be required to file Delaware Form 700 with the individual Delaware personal income tax returns and claim a percentage of the total credit approved for the partnership or S corporation based upon the partner’s or shareholder’s percentage ownership in the pass-through entity.

Enter the credit carryover and the current year credits on the appropriate lines for the Economic Development, Green Industries and Research & Development credits. Enter the aggregate of the three credits on Line 13. Enter on Line 14 50% of the Delaware income tax liability of the entity actually claiming the credits.
