Controlled groups. All members of a

controlled group of corporations (within

group credit on line 6. Each member

then completes the remaining applicable

lines (or Form 3800, if required) on its

separate form. Each member must also

attach to its Form 8826 a schedule

showing how the group credit was

divided among all members. The

members share the credit in the same

proportion that they contributed eligible

access expenditures.

and necessary to accomplish the above

purposes.

Eligible expenditures do not include

expenditures in 1 above that are paid or
