Form 86C PDF Details

On January 15, the IRS released Form 86C, the new Certification of Foreign Status form. The form is used by taxpayers who wish to claim a foreign tax credit on their U.S. tax return. The form must be filed by taxpayers who hold an interest in a foreign corporation or partnership, and who want to claim a credit for taxes paid to a foreign country on income that was also taxed by the United States. To complete Form 86C, taxpayers must provide detailed information about their foreign entity, including its name and jurisdiction of formation, as well as the types and amounts of income earned by the entity. The release of Form 86C comes just weeks after passage of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA), which includes several changes to the rules governing foreign tax credits. One significant change is that TCJA now limits the amount of foreign taxes that can be credited against U.S. taxes to 50% of the U.S. tax liability on income from controlled foreign corporations (CFCs).

Revised July 2008

U.S. Office of Personnel Management

5 CFR Parts 731, 732, and 736

STANDARD FORM 86 CERTIFICATION

(SF 86C)

Form approved: OMB No. 3206 0005 NSN 7540-01-500-4881 86-111

Follow instructions fully or we cannot process your form. Be sure to sign and date the certification statement on page 2. If you have any questions, contact the office that gave you this form.

The Standard Form 86 (SF 86), Questionnaire for National Security Positions, is completed by persons under consideration for or retention in national security positions as defined in 5 CFR 732 and for positions requiring access to classified information, as defined in Executive Order 12968. Depending upon the purpose of your investigation, the United States (U.S) Government is authorized to ask for this information under Executive Orders 10450, 10865, 12333, and 12968; Sections 3301, 3302, and 9101 of title 5, U.S. Code (U.S.C.); Sections 2165 and 2201 of title 42, U.S.C.; chapter 23 of title 50, U.S.C.; and parts 2, 5, 731, 732, and 736 of title 5, Code of Federal Regulations.

There are many situations where individuals are required to fill out a new SF 86 when the sole purpose is to determine if any information on a previously executed SF 86 has changed. This requires extensive work by the individual even if nothing has changed. The SF 86C is a certification document that allows the reporting of changes in previously reported information on the SF 86. This certification will be in lieu of completing a new SF 86 and will allow the individual to indicate that there have been no changes in the data provided on the most recently filed SF 86 or it will allow the individual to easily provide new or changed information. No investigation will be initiated based solely on the execution of this form.

Your Social Security Number (SSN) is needed to identify your unique records. Although disclosure of your SSN is not mandatory, failure to disclose your SSN may prevent or delay the processing of your background investigation. The authority for soliciting and verifying your SSN is Executive Order 9397.
