business income 

2002
Instructions for Recipient

Box 1. Shows the total unemployment compensation paid to

you this year. Report this amount as income on the

unemployment compensation line of your income tax return. If

you expect to receive these benefits in the future, you can ask

the payer to withhold Federal income tax from each payment.

Or, you can make estimated tax payments using Form 1040-ES,

Estimated Tax for Individuals.

Box 2. Shows refunds, credits, or offsets of state or local

income tax you received. It may be taxable to you if you

deducted the state or local income tax paid as an itemized

deduction on your Federal income tax return. Even if you did not

receive the amount shown, for example, because it was credited

to your state or local estimated tax, it is still taxable if it was

deducted. If you received interest on this amount, report it as

interest income on your tax return. See the instructions for your

tax return.

Box 6. Shows taxable grants you received from a Federal, state,

or local government.

Box 7. Shows Department of Agriculture payments that are

taxable to you. If the payer shown is anyone other than the

Department of Agriculture, it means the payer has received a

payment, as a nominee, that is taxable to you. This may

represent the entire agricultural subsidy payment received on

your behalf by the nominee, or it may be your pro rata share of

the original payment. See Pub. 225, Farmer’s Tax Guide, and

the Instructions for Schedule F, Profit or Loss From Farming,

for information about where to report this income.

Box 3. Identifies the tax year for which the refunds, credits, or

offsets shown in box 2 were made. If there is no entry in this

box, the refund is for 2001 taxes.

Box 4. Shows backup withholding or withholding you requested

on unemployment compensation, Commodity Credit Corporation

loans, or certain crop disaster payments. Generally, a payer

must backup withhold on certain payments at a 30% rate if you

did not give your taxpayer identification number to the payer.

Box 8. If this box is checked, the refunds, credits, or offsets in

box 2 are attributable to an income tax that applies exclusively

to income from a trade or business and is not a tax of general

application. If taxable, report the amount in box 2 on Schedule

C, C-EZ, or F (Form 1040), as appropriate.

Box 5. Reserved.

See Form W-9, Request for Taxpayer Identification Number and

Certification, for information on backup withholding. Include this

amount on your income tax return as tax withheld.
