General Instructions
(Section references are to the Internal Revenue Code.)

Paperwork Reduction Act Notice.—We ask for this information
to carry out the Internal Revenue laws of the United States. We
need it to ensure that taxpayers are complying with these laws
and to allow us to figure and collect the right amount of tax. You
ere required to give us this information.

A. Purpose of form.—This form permits a corporation that
expects a net operating loss for the current year to get an extension
of time to pay all or part of Its income tax for the preceding year.
‘The extension is only for amounts not required to be paid before
the date this form is filed. Do not file this form if the tax for the
preceding year has been paid or was required to have been paid
(e.g. time for payment and extensions have expired).

‘The amount postponed may not be more than the reduction in
tax that the carryback of the net operating loss will make.

Generally, a corporation may reduce the amount to be

sited with Form 7004, Application for Automatic Extension
of Time To File Corporation Income Tax Return, by filing Form
1138 with Form 7004. The reduction of the amount due on Form
7004 is limited to the extent of the overpayment resulting from
the expected net operating loss carryback (line 3, Form 1138).
Also, all prior year tax liabilities must have been fully paid. See
Rev, Rul. 82-47, 1982-1 C.B. 201, for other details.
B, Where to file.—File this form with the Internal Revenue
Service Center where the corporation is required to file its Income
tax return.
C. Time for filing. —File this form within the tax year ofthe
expected net operating loss but before the tax to be postponed for
the preceding year is required to be paid.
D. Estimated amount of expected net operating loss.—A
corporation may postpone the time to pay its previous year's
Income tax only if it expects to have a net operating loss. The
estimate of the loss must be based upon all the facts relating to
the operations of the corporation. Among the things to be
considered are such items as: number and dollar amounts of the
corporation's Government contracts that have been cancelled;
profit and loss statements; and other factors peculiar to the
corporation's operations. The corporation is responsible for the
accuracy of the estimate.
E, Revised forms.—If a corporation files a Form 1138 to replace
one that it previously filed for the same tax year, it may filea
revised form as if it were a new one.

The new or revised form may extend the time to pay an amount
different from the amount in the old form. If the amount extended
under the new or revised form is less than the amount under the
old form, the extension is terminated for the difference between
‘the two amounts on the date the revised form Is filed.

F. Termination of extension. —IRS may terminate the extension
for any amount if it believes that any part of the form is erroneous
or unreasonable. IRS may also terminate the extension if it
believes it may not be able to collect the tax.

G. Period of extension.—in general, the extension for paying the
tax expires at the end of the month in which the return for the tax
year of the expected net operating loss is required to be filed
(Including extensions).

‘The time for payment may be further extended. If the
corporation files Form 1139, Corporation Application for
Tentative Refund, before the period of extension ends, the time of
payment is extended to the date when IRS tells the corporation
that it has allowed or disallowed its application.

H. Interest.— Interest is charged on postponed amounts from the
dates on which the payments would normally be due. The interest
charge Is at the rate specified in section 6621.
