Future Developments

General Instructions

Purpose of Form

Use Form 8916-A to provide a detailed schedule of the amounts reported on the applicable Schedule M-3 for cost of goods sold, interest income and interest expense.

Who Must File

Form 8916-A must be filed for each separate entity required to file a Schedule M-3 for Form 1065, Form

1065-B, Form 1120, Form 1120-C, Form 1120-L, Form 1120-PC, or Form 1120S.

Consolidated groups. In the case of a consolidated tax group, a Form 8916-A must be filed as part of the Schedules M-3 prepared for the parent company, each subsidiary, the eliminations Schedule M-3, and the consolidated Schedule M-3. It is not required that the supporting detail for Form 8916-A, Part I, line 6, be presented for the eliminations Schedule M-3 or the consolidated Schedule M-3.

Mixed groups. In the case of a mixed group (as described in the instructions for Schedule M-3 for Form 1120, Form 1120-L, and Form 1120-PC), a Form 8916-A, if applicable, is required at the sub-consolidated level and the sub-consolidated elimination level.

How To File

Attach Form 8916-A to each applicable separate Schedule M-3.

Specific Instructions

A corporation is not required to complete columns (a) and

(d)if the corporation is not required to complete these columns on Schedule M-3. See the instructions for Parts II and III of the applicable Schedule M-3.

Columns (b) and (c) must be completed for any tax year for which the corporation files Form 8916-A.

Part I. Cost of Goods Sold

Line 1

Report differences attributable to cost flow assumptions, for example, differences between book and tax LIFO computations. Generally, differences in the LIFO reserves for book and tax purposes should be reported on this line.

Line 2n

Report differences attributable to section 263A. For example, if book inventory costs do not equal section 471 inventory costs, report differences between section 471 inventory costs and section 263A inventory costs. This includes all cost of goods sold differences, not just differences attributable to additional section 263A cost adjustments to ending inventory. LIFO taxpayers using the simplified production method or the simplified resale method should report the amount of additional section

263A costs computed after LIFO computations. LIFO taxpayers not using a simplified section 263A method should report costs attributable to additional section 263A prior to performing LIFO computation. Differences due to purchasing, and storage and handling costs, should generally be reported on line 2n (to the extent not already included in lines 2a through 2m). Report the additional section 263A cost adjustments to ending inventory on line 2n (and the reversal of the prior year ending inventory, if applicable).

Lines 4 and 5

If the taxpayer does not distinguish between obsolescence and excess inventory reserves and lower of cost or market write-downs in its general ledger, report all amounts relating to these reserves on line 4 for excess inventory and obsolescence reserves.

Line 6

Attach a schedule that separately states and adequately discloses the nature and amount of each expense reported on this line. See the instructions for the applicable Schedule M-3 for a definition of “separately stated and adequately disclosed.” It is not required that the supporting detail for Form 8916-A, Part I, line 6, be presented for the eliminations Schedule M-3 or the consolidated Schedule M-3. Report differences between book inventory costs and section 471 inventory costs on this line.

Line 7

Report all other items with no differences on this line. For example, if book inventory costs equal section 471 inventory costs, this line should report total book inventory and section 471 inventory costs without regard to amounts reported on lines 1 through 5.

Line 8

Line 8 should equal the amount reported on the applicable Schedule M-3 (Form 1120), Part II, line 17; Schedule M-3 (Form 1120S), Part II, line 15; or Schedule M-3 (Form 1065), Part II, line 15.

Part II. Interest Income

Line 1

Report on line 1, column (a), tax-exempt interest income defined under section 103. Complete columns (b) and (c), as applicable.

Line 2

Report on line 2, column (d), the total amount of interest income from hybrid securities characterized as equity for financial accounting and as debt for tax purposes. Complete columns (b) and (c), as applicable. Report interest income from a debt that is both a hybrid debt and a related party debt on line 2 and not on line 4a or 4b.
