Form Nyc 204Ez – Fill Out and Use This PDF

This form is for certain partnerships, including limited liability companies treated as partnerships for federal income tax purposes, who are required to file an Unincorporated Business Tax Return but have no tax liability. For taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2009, a partnership engaged in an unincorpo- rated business is required to file an Unincorporated Business Tax return if its unincorporated business gross income is more than $95,000. This form may also be used by a partnership that is not required to file but wishes to disclaim any liability for tax because it is engaged solely in activities exempt from the tax.

You may not use this form if:

◆You have NYC modifications other than the addback of income and Unincorporated Business Taxes on Schedule B, line 13 of Form NYC-204. For a complete list of modifications, see instructions for Form NYC-204.
