In Rev. Rul. 90-60, 1990-2 C.B. 3,the Internal Revenue Service provided guidance to taxpayers concerning the general methodology used by the Treasury Department in computing the bond factor amounts used in calculating the amount of bond considered satisfactory by the Secretary under § 42(j)(6) of the Internal Revenue Code. It further announced that the Secretary would publish in the Internal Revenue Bulletin a table of bond factor amounts for dispositions occurring during each calendar month.
This revenue ruling provides in Table 1 the bond factor amounts for calculating the amount of bond considered satisfactory under § 42(j)(6) or the amount of United States Treasury securities to pledge in a Treasury Direct Account under Rev. Proc. 99-11 for dispositions of qualified low-income buildings or interests therein during the period January through December 2004.

Section 995(f)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code provides that a shareholder of a DISC shall pay interest each taxable year in an amount equal to the product of the shareholder’s DISC-related deferred tax liability for the year and the “base period T-bill rate.” Under section 995(f)(4), the base period T-bill rate is the annual rate of interest determined by the Secretary to be equivalent to the average of the 1-year constant maturity Treasury yields, as published by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, for the 1-year period ending on September 30 of the calendar year ending with (or of the most recent calendar year ending before) the close of the taxable year of the shareholder. The base period T-bill rate for the period ending September 30, 2004 is 1.60 percent.
Pursuant to section 6222 of the Code, interest must be compounded daily. The table below provides factors for compounding the base period T-bill rate daily for any number of days in the shareholder’s taxable year (including a 52-53 week accounting period) for the 2004 base period T-bill rate. To compute the amount of the interest charge for the shareholder’s taxable year, multiply the amount of the shareholder’s DISC-related deferred tax liability (as defined in section 995(f)(2)) for that year by the base period T-bill rate factor corresponding to the number of days in the shareholder’s taxable year for which the interest charge is being computed. Generally, one would use the factor for 365 days. One would use a different factor only if the shareholder’s taxable year for which the interest charge being determined is a short taxable year, if the shareholder uses the 52-53 week taxable year, or if the shareholder’s taxable year is a leap year.
For the base period T-bill rates for the periods ending in prior years, see Rev. Rul. 2003-111, 2003-45 I.R.B. 1009, Rev. Rul. 2002-68, 2002-2 C.B. 808, Rev. Rul. 2001-56, 2001-2 C.B. 500, and Rev. Rul. 2000-52, 2000-2 C.B. 516.

Treatment as Qualified Dividend Income for Purposes of Section 1(h)(11) of the Internal Revenue Code of Distributions, Inclusions, and Other Amounts From Foreign Corporations Subject to Certain Anti-Deferral Regimes
This notice provides guidance regarding the extent to which distributions, inclusions and other amounts received by, or included in the income of, individual shareholders as ordinary income from foreign corporations subject to certain anti-deferral regimes may be treated as qualified dividend income for purposes of section 1(h)(11) of the Internal Revenue Code (Code). This guidance is necessary to reflect the provisions of the Jobs and Growth Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2003 (P.L. 108-27, 117 Stat. 752) (2003 Act) that provided for reduced rates of tax on certain dividends for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2002. The Treasury Department and the Internal Revenue Service intend to issue regulations under section 1(h)(11) of the Code that incorporate the guidance set forth in this notice.
SECTION 2. OVERVIEW
The 2003 Act provides that qualified dividend income received by an individual shareholder is subject to tax at reduced rates. This notice provides guidance regarding the extent to which distributions, inclusions, and other amounts received by, or included in the income of, individual shareholders as ordinary income from foreign corporations subject to certain anti-deferral regimes may be treated as qualified dividend income for purposes of section 1(h)(11) of the Code. Section 3 of this notice describes the statutory rules for determining whether income is qualified dividend income and describes in general the anti-deferral regimes applicable to controlled foreign corporations (as defined in sections 957(a) and (b) and 953(c)(1)(B)) (CFCs), foreign personal holding companies (as defined in section 552(a)) (FPHCs), foreign investment companies (as defined in section 1246(b)) (FICs), and passive foreign investment companies (as defined in section 1297(a)) (PFICs). These rules are relevant principally because section 1(h)(11)(C)(iii) provides that dividends from a foreign corporation which for the taxable year of the corporation in which the dividend is paid, or the preceding taxable year, is an FPHC, a FIC, or a PFIC, are not qualified dividend income. Section 4 of this notice provides guidance with respect to distributions, inclusions, and other amounts from a CFC that is not also an FPHC, a FIC, or a PFIC. Section 5 of this notice provides guidance with respect to FPHCs, including FPHCs that are also CFCs. Section 6 of this notice provides guidance with respect to FICs, including FICs that are also CFCs. Section 7 of this notice provides guidance with respect to PFICs, including PFICs that are also CFCs.
This notice provides that distributions of non-previously taxed earnings and profits from a CFC to an individual are qualified dividend income, and therefore are eligible for the reduced rates of tax applicable to certain capital gains under section 1(h)(1) of the Code, provided that the CFC is otherwise a qualified foreign corporation. This notice also provides that section 951(a)(1) inclusions from a CFC and deemed or actual distributions from an FPHC, a FIC or a PFIC are not qualified dividend income under section 1(h)(11)(B)(i)(II) and therefore are not eligible for the reduced rates of tax applicable to certain capital gains under section 1(h)(1). In addition, this notice provides that, for purposes of section 1(h)(11), the determination of whether a foreign corporation is a PFIC is made on a shareholder-by-shareholder basis. Accordingly, distributions of non-previously taxed earnings and profits received by an individual from a CFC that would be a PFIC with respect to that individual but for the application of section 1297(e) are qualified dividend income if the CFC is otherwise a qualified foreign corporation.
.01 The 2003 Act
In general, section 1(h)(1) of the Code provides that an individual taxpayer’s net capital gain for any taxable year is subject to a maximum tax rate of 15 percent (or 5 percent in the case of certain taxpayers). Section 1(h)(11) provides that, for purposes of section 1(h), the term “net capital gain” means net capital gain increased by qualified dividend income.
“Qualified dividend income” is defined as dividends received during the taxable year from domestic corporations and qualified foreign corporations. Section 1(h)(11)(B)(i) of the Code. The term “qualified foreign corporation” does not include any foreign corporation that, for the taxable year of the corporation in which the dividend is paid, or the preceding taxable year, is an FPHC, a FIC, or a PFIC. Section 1(h)(11)(C)(iii). Subject to this limitation, the term “qualified foreign corporation” means any foreign corporation that is incorporated in a possession of the United States or that is eligible for the benefits of a comprehensive income tax treaty with the United States which the Secretary determines is satisfactory for purposes of this provision and which includes an exchange of information program.[1] Section 1(h)(11)(C)(i). In addition, a foreign corporation is treated as a qualified foreign corporation with respect to any dividend paid by such corporation if the stock with respect to which such dividend is paid is readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States.[2] Section 1(h)(11)(C)(ii).
.02 Anti-deferral Regimes under the Code
Income earned by a foreign corporation from its foreign operations generally is subject to U.S. tax when such income is distributed to a U.S. person that holds stock in such foreign corporation. Accordingly, a U.S. person that is a shareholder of a foreign corporation generally is not subject to U.S. tax on the income earned by the foreign corporation until that income is distributed to the shareholder as a dividend. However, a variety of anti-deferral regimes apply to subject the U.S. shareholder to U.S. tax on that income even if the income is not actually distributed to the shareholder.
A brief summary of the rules applicable to foreign corporations subject to each of the anti-deferral regimes addressed in this notice is provided below.
(1) CFCs. In general, a CFC is any foreign corporation with respect to which U.S. shareholders own more than 50 percent of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of such corporation entitled to vote or the total value of such corporation. Under section 951(b) of the Code, a “United States shareholder” is a U.S. person (as defined in section 957(c)) that owns ten percent or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock entitled to vote.
United States shareholders of CFCs are required to include in gross income currently their pro rata share of certain income of the CFC (referred to as “subpart F income”), without regard to whether the income is distributed by the CFC to its shareholders in the year the income is earned. Section 951(a)(1)(A) of the Code. Subpart F income includes foreign base company income, including foreign personal holding company income (e.g., dividends, interest, annuities and other specified passive income), and certain insurance income. Sections 952, 953, and 954. United States shareholders of a CFC also are required to include currently in income their pro rata share of the CFC’s earnings to the extent invested by the CFC in U.S. property. Section 951(a)(1)(B). The amounts so included in income under section 951(a)(1) are limited to the shareholder’s pro rata share of the current earnings and profits of the CFC. Section 951(a)(2) and (c)(1)(A).
Income of a CFC that has been included in the gross income of its United States shareholders as an inclusion under section 951(a)(1) of the Code is not included in gross income again when it actually is distributed to the United States shareholders. Section 959(a)(1). Any income of a CFC that is not included in the gross income of its United States shareholders under section 951(a)(1) is not subject to U.S. tax as income of the United States shareholders until actually distributed as a dividend. A United States shareholder of a CFC that sells its stock in the CFC generally is required to report any recognized gain from the sale of the stock as a dividend to the extent of the untaxed undistributed earnings and profits of the CFC and certain subsidiaries that are attributable to the United States shareholder. Section 1248(a) and (c)(2).
(2) FPHCs. A foreign corporation is an FPHC if (1) at any time during the taxable year more than 50 percent of the stock of the corporation, determined by vote or value, is owned by five or fewer individuals who are U.S. citizens or residents; and (2) at least 60 percent of the corporation’s gross income for the taxable year is foreign personal holding company income (e.g., dividends, interest, annuities and other specified passive income). Once a foreign corporation qualifies as an FPHC, however, the gross income threshold for each subsequent year is only 50 percent, until the expiration of either one taxable year during which the stock ownership requirement is not satisfied or three consecutive taxable years in each of which the gross income requirement is not satisfied at the 50 percent threshold. Section 552(a) of the Code.
All individual shareholders of an FPHC who are U.S. persons must include in gross income their distributive shares of undistributed foreign personal holding company income (as defined in section 556(a) of the Code) without regard to whether the income is distributed by the FPHC to its shareholders in the taxable year the income is earned. The undistributed foreign personal holding company income of an FPHC is the taxable income of the FPHC with adjustments minus the amount of the dividends paid deduction determined under section 561. Section 556(a). The undistributed foreign personal holding company income of an FPHC is treated as a dividend under section 551(b). Amounts that are deemed distributed as a dividend are treated as recontributed by the U.S. individual shareholders to the FPHC as a contribution to capital.
(3) FICs. A foreign corporation is a FIC if (1) it is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, either as a management company or as a unit investment trust; or (2) it is engaged primarily in the business of investing, reinvesting, or trading in securities or commodities, or in any interest in securities or commodities, at a time when 50 percent or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock entitled to vote, or the value of all classes of stock, is held by U.S. persons. Section 1246(b) of the Code. Under the FIC rules, in general, gain on the sale or exchange (or a distribution that is treated as an exchange) of stock in a FIC is treated as ordinary income to the extent of the taxpayer’s ratable share of the post-1962 undistributed earnings and profits of the FIC. Section 1246(a). Any amount previously included in the gross income of the shareholder under section 951 is excluded from the shareholder’s ratable share of the post-1962 undistributed earnings and profits of the FIC (but only to the extent the inclusion of such amount did not result in the exclusion of any other amount from gross income under section 959). A FIC that elected before 1963 to distribute annually 90 percent of its taxable income (other than capital gains) is not subject to the general rules of section 1246(a) with respect to any year in which the election applies. Section 1247(a)(1); Section 1.1247-1(c)(1) of the Income Tax Regulations. Qualified shareholders (as defined in section 1247(c)) who invest in FICs that elected this treatment under section 1247 and for which the election is currently in effect are required to include in income currently their share of the net long term capital gains of the FIC whether or not actually distributed.
(4) PFICs. In general, a foreign corporation is a PFIC if (1) 75 percent or more of its gross income for the taxable year consists of passive income; or (2) the average percentage of assets held by the corporation during the taxable year that produce, or are held for the production of, passive income is 50 percent or more. Section 1297(a) of the Code. Subject to certain exceptions, passive income generally means income of a kind that would be foreign personal holding company income under section 954(c). Section 1297(b).
In general, gain recognized by a U.S. person on the disposition of stock of a PFIC, or the amount of any excess distribution (as defined under section 1291(b)), is treated as ordinary income earned pro rata over the shareholder’s holding period with respect to the PFIC stock. Amounts attributed to the current taxable year are included as ordinary income. Amounts attributed to prior years are subject to tax at the highest applicable tax rate in effect for each respective year of the holding period, and interest is imposed at the underpayment rate on the tax liability with respect to such amounts.
As an alternative to being taxed under the rules of section 1291(a) of the Code, a shareholder that is a U.S. person may make a qualified electing fund (QEF) election under section 1295 of the Code or a mark to market election under section 1296. In general, a U.S. shareholder that makes a QEF election must include in gross income its pro rata share of the QEF’s ordinary income and net capital gain for the taxable year. Section 1293(a). A U.S. shareholder of a PFIC that makes a mark to market election must include in gross income for its taxable year as ordinary income the excess of the fair market value of the PFIC stock over its adjusted basis. Section 1296(c)(1). The adjusted basis of the shareholder’s stock is increased by the amount included in the gross income of the shareholder with respect to the stock.
A foreign corporation may be treated as a PFIC with respect to some shareholders but not others. Under section 1298(b)(1), a foreign corporation generally is treated as a PFIC with respect to a shareholder even if the corporation does not meet the income or asset tests for the current year if the corporation met either the income test or the asset test during any portion of the shareholder’s holding period of the stock of the foreign corporation and the shareholder has not made a QEF election.[3] Under section 1297(e), a foreign corporation is not treated as a PFIC with respect to a shareholder even if the corporation meets the income test or the asset test if the corporation is a CFC, the shareholder is a United States shareholder, and certain other conditions are met.
SECTION 4. CONTROLLED FOREIGN CORPORATIONS
This section provides guidance with respect to distributions, inclusions, and other amounts received by individual shareholders from a CFC that is not also an FPHC, a FIC, or a PFIC (and that was not an FPHC, a FIC, or a PFIC in the preceding taxable year). The treatment of distributions, inclusions, and other amounts received by individual shareholders of a CFC that is also an FPHC, a FIC, or a PFIC is addressed in sections 5, 6, and 7 of this notice, respectively.
Individual United States shareholders of CFCs may have amounts included in income under section 951(a)(1) of the Code, distributions of amounts previously taxed under section 951(a)(1), or distributions of amounts that have not been previously taxed under section 951(a)(1). The tax treatment of these amounts in the context of section 1(h)(11) is discussed below.
.01 Distributions of Amounts Not Previously Taxed
Section 1(h)(11) of the Code does not exclude CFCs from the definition of “qualified foreign corporations.” Thus, actual dividends from a CFC’s non-previously taxed earnings and profits to an individual shareholder are qualified dividend income provided that the CFC is otherwise a qualified foreign corporation under section 1(h)(11)(C) and the other requirements of section 1(h)(11) are met. Similarly, amounts treated as dividends under section 1248(a) are qualified dividend income provided that the CFC is otherwise a qualified foreign corporation under section 1(h)(11)(C) and the other requirements of section 1(h)(11) are met.[4]See section 1248(a) (stating gain recognized on the sale or exchange of stock in certain foreign corporations shall be included in the gross income of a shareholder as a dividend). In addition, amounts treated as dividends under section 1.367(b)-2(e)(2) of the regulations (i.e., section 1248 amounts and all earnings and profits amounts) are qualified dividend income provided that the CFC is otherwise a qualified foreign corporation under section 1(h)(11)(C) and the other requirements of section 1(h)(11) are met.[5]
.02 Section 951(a)(1) Inclusions
Neither section 951(a)(1) nor the corresponding regulations characterize a section 951(a)(1) inclusion as a dividend. In contrast, deemed inclusions under the FPHC and PFIC regimes are characterized as dividends throughout the statutory provisions governing these regimes. See, e.g., section 551(b) (stating that undistributed foreign personal holding company income is included in a foreign personal holding company shareholder’s gross income as a dividend). Moreover, while section 1248 requires inclusions in gross income as a dividend, section 951 simply requires inclusions in gross income.[6] Accordingly, for purposes of section 1(h)(11), section 951(a)(1) inclusions are not dividends and therefore cannot constitute qualified dividend income.
.03 Distributions of Previously Taxed Income
Distributions of previously taxed income excluded from gross income under section 959(a) of the Code are not qualified dividend income because they are not subject to U.S. tax and are not dividends. See section 959(a) and (d).
SECTION 5. FOREIGN PERSONAL HOLDING COMPANIES
Section 1(h)(11)(C)(iii) of the Code excludes FPHCs from the definition of qualified foreign corporation. Therefore, actual dividends received by U.S. individuals who are shareholders of an FPHC are not qualified dividend income. Similarly, undistributed foreign personal holding company income that is treated as distributed to individual U.S. shareholders as a dividend is not qualified dividend income. Further, a dividend from a foreign corporation that is not an FPHC but was an FPHC in the preceding taxable year is not qualified dividend income.
.02 FPHCs that are also CFCs
A foreign corporation may be both an FPHC and a CFC. Because a foreign corporation that is both an FPHC and a CFC continues to be an FPHC, any dividends (both actual dividends and amounts treated as a dividend) received by an individual shareholder from that corporation are not qualified dividend income.
SECTION 6. FOREIGN INVESTMENT COMPANIES
Section 1(h)(11)(C)(iii) of the Code excludes FICs from the definition of qualified foreign corporation. Therefore, actual dividends received by U.S. individuals who are shareholders of a FIC are not qualified dividend income. Likewise, a shareholder’s pro rata share of a FIC’s post-1962 accumulated earnings and profits following the sale of FIC stock is not qualified dividend income. Similarly, amounts distributed as ordinary income by a FIC that has a section 1247 election in effect also are not qualified dividend income. Further, a dividend from a foreign corporation that is not a FIC but was a FIC in the preceding taxable year is not qualified dividend income.
.02 FICs that are also CFCs
A foreign corporation may be both a FIC and a CFC. Because a foreign corporation that is both a FIC and a CFC continues to be a FIC, any dividends or other distributions taxable as ordinary income from that corporation are not qualified dividend income.
SECTION 7. PASSIVE FOREIGN INVESTMENT COMPANIES
Section 1(h)(11)(C)(iii) of the Code excludes PFICs from the definition of qualified foreign corporation. As a result, a dividend (including an excess distribution) from a foreign corporation that is a PFIC or that is not a PFIC in the current taxable year but was a PFIC in the preceding taxable year is not qualified dividend income.
Similarly, amounts included in a shareholder’s gross income under sections 1293(a) (in the case of a shareholder that has made a QEF election) or 1296 (in the case of a shareholder that has made a mark to market election) are not qualified dividend income.
.02 Determination of PFIC Status
As noted above in Section 3.02(4), some of the rules for determining whether a foreign corporation is a PFIC operate on a shareholder-by-shareholder basis. Therefore, a foreign corporation may be treated as a PFIC with respect to some shareholders but not others. Thus, for purposes of section 1(h)(11), the result of an analysis of whether a foreign corporation is a PFIC, and therefore whether dividends from that corporation are for that reason excluded from qualified dividend income, may be different for shareholders of the same foreign corporation.
A determination of whether a foreign corporation was a PFIC in the previous taxable year also should be made on a shareholder-by-shareholder basis if the shareholder of the foreign corporation was a shareholder in the previous taxable year. For example, a foreign corporation that was a PFIC under the income test or the asset test of section 1297(a) of the Code for one year of a shareholder’s holding period under certain circumstances may be a PFIC with respect to that shareholder even though it may not meet the income or asset tests in subsequent years and notwithstanding that the foreign corporation may not be a PFIC with respect to other shareholders. Section 1298(b)(1). To the extent a foreign corporation is a PFIC with respect to a shareholder, dividends received by that shareholder are not qualified dividend income.
.03 PFICs that are also CFCs
A foreign corporation may be both a PFIC and a CFC. Except where section 1297(e) of the Code applies to certain shareholders as described below, in cases where a foreign corporation is both a PFIC and a CFC an amount received by a shareholder from such a corporation is not qualified dividend income.
Where a foreign corporation is a CFC, section 1297(e)(1) of the Code provides that the foreign corporation generally is not treated as a PFIC with respect to a shareholder during the qualified portion of the shareholder’s holding period in the stock of the foreign corporation even if the corporation meets the income test or the asset test. The qualified portion generally is the portion of the shareholder’s holding period that is after December 31, 1997, and during which the shareholder is a United States shareholder and the foreign corporation is a CFC. This overlap elimination rule does not apply if the foreign corporation otherwise is treated as a PFIC under section 1298(b)(1) because there is a portion of the shareholder’s holding period prior to the application of this rule when the foreign corporation was a PFIC. H.R. Rep. No. 105-148, 105th Cong., 1st Sess., at 534 (1997).
In cases where a foreign corporation would qualify as a PFIC with respect to a shareholder but for the application of section 1297(e) of the Code, for purposes of section 1(h)(11), distributions, inclusions, or amounts received by, or included in the income of, that shareholder from that foreign corporation are subject to the same analysis as amounts from foreign corporations that are CFCs and are not PFICs. Thus, in accordance with the guidance provided for CFCs in Section 4 above, distributions of non-previously taxed earnings and profits received by an individual from a CFC that would be treated as a PFIC with respect to such individual but for the rule of section 1297(e) are qualified dividend income provided that the CFC is otherwise a qualified foreign corporation under section 1(h)(11)(C) and the other requirements of section 1(h)(11) are met.
Regulations to be issued relating to the guidance set forth in this notice will be effective for amounts included in income on or after October 8, 2004. Until such regulations are issued, taxpayers may rely on this notice.

Section 1.3 - What's New
The Substitute Forms Program is now accepting substitute forms submissions via email. The email address is *taxforms@irs.gov . See Section 2.1.2.
The Substitute Forms Program office symbols have changed to SE:W:CAR:MP:T:T:SP. The room number has changed to 6406.
Exhibits D through G have been rearranged.
The formats for Schedules K-1 of Forms 1065 and 1120S have significantly changed for 2004. Because Publication 1167 is printed before the forms become finalized, draft copies are provided in the exhibits (see Exhibits D, E, and F). Before releasing their substitute forms, software vendors are responsible for making any subsequent changes made to the final official IRS forms after the draft forms have been posted.
Section 1.4 - Definitions
Printed/Preprinted
Preprinted Pin-Fed
A preprinted form in which the taxpayer's tax entry information has been inserted by a computer, computer printer, or other computer type equipment such as word processing equipment.
Computer Generated Substitute Tax Return or Form
A tax return or form that is entirely designed and printed using a computer printer such as a laser printer, etc., on plain white paper. This return or form must conform to the physical layout of the corresponding IRS form, although the typeface may differ. The text should match the text on the officially printed form as closely as possible. Condensed text and abbreviations will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
Exception. All jurat (perjury statements) must be reproduced verbatim.
A preprinted reproduced form in which the taxpayer's tax entry information is entered by an individual using a pen, pencil, typewriter, or other non-automated equipment.
Acceptable Reproduced
Supporting Statement (Supplemental Schedule)
A document providing detailed information to support a line entry on an official or approved substitute form and filed with (attached to) a tax return.
Note. A supporting statement is not a tax form and does not take the place of an official form unless specifically permitted elsewhere in this procedure.
Specific Form Terms
Advance Draft
Section 1.5 - Agreement
Important Stipulation
of This Revenue Procedure
The IRS presumes the changes are made in accordance with these procedures and will not be disruptive to the processing of the tax return.
Should any of the changes prove to be not exactly as described, and as a result become disruptive to the IRS’s processing of the tax return, the person or company agrees to accept the determination of the IRS as to whether or not the form may continue to be used during the filing season.
The person or company agrees to work with the IRS in correcting noted deficiencies. Notification of deficiencies may be made by any combination of fax, letter, email, or phone contact and may include the return of unacceptable forms for re-submission of acceptable forms.
Section 2.1 - General Specifications for Approval
The Substitute Forms Program is now accepting substitute forms submissions via email. The email address is *taxforms@irs.gov . Please include “PDF Submissions” on the subject line.
Your submission should include all the forms you wish to submit in one attached pdf file. Do not email each form individually.
Emailing pdf submissions will not expedite review and approval. The pdf submissions will be assigned a control number and put in queue along with mailed-in paper submissions.
Small (fewer than 15 forms), rather than large submissions should expedite processing.
Optimize pdf files before submitting.
The maximum allowable email attachment is 2.5 megabytes.
The Substitute Forms Unit will accept zip files.
An approval checklist listing the forms you are submitting should always be included in the pdf file along with the forms.
To alleviate delays during the peak time of
September through December, submit advance draft forms as early as possible.
If the guidelines are not followed, you may need to resubmit.
In addition to submitting forms via email, you may continue to send your submissions to:

Section 2.2 - Highlights of Permitted Changes and Requirements
Reproducing Internal
Official IRS tax forms are supplied by the IRS. These forms may be provided in the taxpayer’s tax package or over-the-counter. Forms can also be picked up at many IRS offices, post offices, or libraries, and are available on CD-ROM and on-line via the Internet.
There are methods of reproducing IRS printed tax forms suitable for use as substitutes without prior approval.
You can photocopy most tax forms and use them instead of the official ones. The entire substitute form, including entries, must be legible.
You can reproduce any current tax form as cut sheets, snap sets, and marginally punched, pin-fed forms as long as you use an official IRS version as the master copy.
You can reproduce a “signature form” as a valid substitute form. Many tax forms (including returns) have a taxpayer signature requirement as part of the form layout. The jurat/perjury statement/signature line areas must be retained and worded exactly as on the official form. The requirement for a signature by itself does not prohibit a tax form from being properly computer-generated.

Section 2.4 - Restrictions on Changes
Do to Forms Suitable for Substitute
You cannot, without prior IRS approval, change any IRS tax form or use your own (non-approved) versions including graphics, unless specifically permitted by this revenue procedure.
You cannot adjust any of the graphics on Forms 1040, 1040A, and 1040EZ (except in those areas specified in Part 5 of this revenue procedure) without prior approval from the IRS Substitute Forms Unit.
You cannot use your own preprinted label on tax returns filed with the IRS unless you fully comply with the criteria specified in the section in this revenue procedure on the use of pre-addressed IRS labels.
Section 2.5 - Guidelines for Obtaining IRS Approval
Conditional Approval Based on Advanced Drafts
The IRS cannot grant final approval of your substitute form until the official form has been published. However, the IRS has established a location on the Internet for posting advance draft forms. This site can be reached in the “Tax Professionals” area at:
www.irs.gov/taxpros/lists/0,,id=97782,00.html
We encourage submission of proposed substitutes of these advance draft forms, and will grant conditional approval based solely on these early drafts. These advance drafts are subject to significant change before forms are finalized. If these advance drafts are used as the basis for your substitute forms, you will be responsible for subsequently updating your final forms to agree with the final official version. These revisions need not be submitted for further approval.
Note. Approval of forms based on advance drafts will not be granted after the final version of an official form is published.
Any alteration of forms must be within the limits acceptable to the IRS. It is possible that, from one filing period to another, a change in law or a change in internal need (processing, audit, compliance, etc.) may change the allowable limits for the alteration of the official form.
When specific approval of any substitute form (other than those specified in Part 1, Section 1.2 - IRS Contacts) is desired, a sample of the proposed substitute form should be forwarded for consideration by letter to the Substitute Forms Unit at the address shown in Section 1.2.
To expedite multiple forms approval, we prefer that your proposed forms be submitted in separate sets by return. For example, Forms 1040 and their normally related schedules or attachments should be submitted separately from Forms 1120 and 1065 if possible. Schedules and forms (for example, Forms 3468, 4136, etc.) that can be used with more than one type of return (for example, 1040, 1041, 1120, etc.) should be submitted only once for approval, regardless of the number of different tax returns with which they may be associated. Also, all pages of multi-page forms or returns should be submitted in the same package.
IRS Review of
Software Programs, etc.
The IRS does not review or approve the logic of specific software programs, nor does the IRS confirm the calculations on the forms produced by these programs. The accuracy of the program remains the responsibility of the software package developer, distributor, or user.
The Substitute Forms Unit is primarily concerned with the pre-filing quality review of the final forms, produced by whatever means, that are expected to be processed by IRS field offices. For these, you should submit forms without including any taxpayer information such as names, addresses, monetary amounts, etc.
When submitting sample substitutes, you should include an accompanying statement that lists each form number and its changes from the official form (position, arrangement, appearance, line numbers, additions, deletions, etc.). With each of the items you should include a detailed reason for the change.
When requesting approval, please include a checklist. Checklists expedite the approval process. The checklist may look like the example in Exhibit G displayed in the back of this procedure or may be one of your own design. Please include your fax number on the checklist.
Approval/Non-
The requester has asked for a formal letter; or
Significant corrections to the submitted forms are required.
Limited Continued Use
of an Approved Change
Limited changes approved for one tax year may be allowed for the same form in the following tax year. Examples of such limitations and requirements are the use of abbreviated words, revised form spacing, compressed text lines, and shortened captions, etc., which do not change the consistency of lines or text on the official forms.
If substantial changes are made to the form, new substitutes must be submitted for approval. If only minor editorial changes are made to the form, it is not subject to review. It is the responsibility of each vendor who has been granted permission to use substitute forms to monitor and revise forms to mirror any revisions to official forms made by the Service. If there are any questions, please contact the Substitute Forms Unit.
When Approval
The new substitute form does not have to be sent to the IRS and written approval is not required.
However, the new substitute form must conform to the official current year IRS form in other respects: date, Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approval number, attachment sequence number, Paperwork Reduction Act Notice statement, arrangement, item caption, line number, line reference, data sequence, etc.
The new substitute must also comply with this revenue procedure. The procedure may have eliminated, added to, or otherwise changed the guideline(s) that affected the change approved last year.
An approved change is authorized only for the period from a prior tax year substitute form to a current tax year substitute form.
Required Copies
Using the prescribed print paper, font size, legibility, state tax data deletion, etc.
Informing all users of substitute forms of the legal requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act Notice, which is generally found in the instructions for the official IRS forms.
The Substitute Forms Unit, SE:W:CAR:MP:T:T:SP, will assign a unique source code to each firm that submits substitute paper forms for approval. This source code will be a permanent identifier that should be used on every submission by a particular firm.
Consists of three alpha characters.
Should be printed at the bottom left margin area on the first page of every approved substitute form.
Should not be used on optically scanned (OCR) forms.
Section 2.6 - Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Requirements for All Substitute Forms
OMB Requirements
for All Substitute Forms
OMB approve all IRS tax forms that are subject to the Act,
Each IRS form contains (in the upper right corner) the OMB number, if any, and
Each IRS form (or its instructions) states why the IRS needs the information, how it will be used, and whether or not the information is required to be furnished.
This information must be provided to every user of official or substitute tax forms.
Application of the Paperwork Reduction Act
All substitute forms must contain in the upper right corner the OMB number that is on the official form.
The required format is: OMB No. 1545-XXXX (Preferred) or OMB # 1545-XXXX (Acceptable).
Explanation to Users
If you provide your users or customers with the official IRS instructions, each form must retain either the Paperwork Reduction Act Notice (or Disclosure, Privacy Act, and Paperwork Reduction Act Notice), or a reference to it as the IRS does on the official forms (usually in the lower left corner of the forms).
This notice reads, in part, “We ask for the information on this form to carry out the Internal Revenue laws of the United States...”
Finding the OMB
Number and Paperwork Reduction Act Notice
Section 3.1 - General Guidelines for Substitute Forms
Information Prohibited
of Amount Fields
IF a form is to be...
Manually prepared 1. The column must have a vertical line or some type of indicator in the amount field to separate dollars from cents if the official form has a vertical line.
2. The cents column must be at least 3/10′′ wide.
Computer generated 1. Vertically align the amount entry fields where possible.
2. Use one of the following amount formats:
a) 0,000,000.
b) 0,000,000.00
Computer prepared 1. You may remove the vertical line in the amount field that separates dollars from cents.
Many individual income tax forms have a required “attachment sequence number” located just below the year designation in the upper right corner of the form. The IRS uses this number to indicate the order in which forms are to be attached to the tax return for processing. Some of the attachment sequence numbers may change from year to year.
On computer prepared forms:
The sequence number may be printed in no less than 12-point boldface type and centered below the form’s year designation.
The sequence number may also be placed following the year designation for the tax form and separated with an asterisk.
The actual number may be printed without labeling it the “Attachment Sequence Number.”
Paid Preparer's
On Forms 1040EZ, 1040A, 1040, and 1120, etc., the “Paid Preparer's Use Only” area may not be rearranged or relocated. You may, however, add three extra lines to the paid preparer’s address area without prior approval. This applies to other tax forms as well.
Assembly of Forms
If developing software or forms for use by others, please inform your customers/clients that the order in which the forms are arranged may affect the processing of the package. A return must be arranged in the order indicated below.
IF the form is...
THEN the sequence is...
1040 • Form 1040. • Schedules and forms in attachment sequence number order.
Any other tax return (Form 1120, 1120S, 1065, 1041, etc.) • The tax returns. • Directly associated schedules (Schedule D, etc.). • Directly associated forms. • Additional schedules in alphabetical order. • Additional forms in numerical order.
Supporting statements should then follow in the same sequence as the forms they support. Additional information required should be attached last.
In this way, the forms are received in the order in which they must be processed. If you do not send returns to us in order, processing may be delayed.
Section 3.2 - Paper
Chemical wood writing paper that is equal to or better than the quality used for the official form,
At least 18 pound (17′′ x 22′′, 500 sheets), or
At least 50 pound offset book (25′′ x 38′′, 500 sheets).
There are several kinds of paper prohibited for substitute forms. These are:
1. Carbon-bonded paper
2. Chemical transfer paper except when the following specifications are met:
a. Each ply within the chemical transfer set of forms must be labeled.
b. Only the top ply (ply one and white in color), the one that contains chemical on the back only (coated back), may be filed with the IRS.
A set containing three plies would be constructed as follows: ply one (coated back), “Federal Return, File with IRS”; ply two (coated front and back), “Taxpayer's copy”; and ply three (coated front), “Preparer’s copy.”
The file designation, “Federal Return, File with IRS” for ply one, must be printed in the bottom right margin (just below the last line of the form) in 12- point boldface type.
It is not mandatory, but recommended, that the file designation “Federal Return, File with IRS” be printed in a contrasting ink for visual emphasis.
Section 3.3 - Printing
Title Area Changes
Government Printing Office Symbol and IRS
Printing on One
Side of Paper
You may remove references to instructions. No prior approval is needed.
Exception. The words “For Paperwork Reduction Act Notice, see instructions” must be retained or a similar statement provided on each form. Some forms refer the taxpayer to a page number in the instructions for information on the Paperwork Reduction Act Notice.
Section 3.4 - Margins
A 1/2-inch to 1/4-inch margin must be maintained across the top, bottom, and both sides of all substitute forms.
The marginal, perforated strips containing pin-fed holes must be removed from all forms prior to filing with the IRS.
Marginal Printing
With the exception of the actual tax forms (for example, Forms 1040, 1040A, 1040EZ, 1120, 940, 941, etc.), you may print in the left vertical margin and in the left half of the bottom margin.
Printing is never allowed in the top right margin of the tax form (for example, Forms 1040, 1040A, 1040EZ, 1120, 940, 941, etc.). The Service uses this area to imprint a Document Locator Number for each return. There are no exceptions to this requirement.
Section 3.5 - Examples of Approved Formats
Approved Formats From
Three sets of exhibits (Exhibits A-1, 2; B-1, 2; and C-1, 2) are at the end of this revenue procedure as examples of how these guidelines may be used. Vertical spacing is six (6) lines to the inch. A combination of upper-case and lower-case print font is acceptable in producing substitute forms.
The same logic may be applied to any IRS form that is normally reproducible as a substitute form, with the exception of the tax return forms as discussed elsewhere. These exhibits may be from a prior year and are not to be used as current substitute forms.
Section 3.6 - Miscellaneous Information for Substitute Forms
Filing Substitute
Caution to Software
Having the correct form numbers and titles at the top of the return, and
Submitting the same number of pages as if the form were an official IRS form with the line items on the proper pages.
Use Pre-Addressed
If you are a practitioner filling out a return for a client or a software publisher who prints instruction manuals, stress the use of the pre-addressed label provided in the tax package the IRS sent to the taxpayer, when available. The use of this label (or its precisely duplicated label information) is extremely important for the efficient, accurate, and economical processing of a taxpayer's return. Labeled returns indicate that a taxpayer is an established filer and permits the IRS to automatically accelerate processing of those returns. This results in quicker refunds, less manual review by IRS functions, and greater accuracy in names, addresses, and postal deliveries.
Use only the following label information format for single filers:
JOHN Q. PUBLIC 310 OAK DRIVE HOMETOWN, STATE 94000
Use only the following information for joint filers: JOHN Q. PUBLIC
MARY I. PUBLIC 310 OAK DRIVE HOMETOWN, STATE 94000

Exhibits and Use of Acceptable Formats
If your computer generated forms appear exactly like the exhibits, no prior authorization is needed.
You may computer generate forms not shown here, but you must design them by following the manner and style of those in the exhibits section.
Take care to observe other requirements and conditions in this revenue procedure. The IRS encourages the submission of all proposed forms covered by this revenue procedure.
When a line on an official form is designated by a number or a letter, that designation (reference code) must be used on a substitute form. The reference code must be printed to the left of the text of each line and immediately preceding the data entry field, even if no reference code precedes the data entry field on the official form. If an entry field contains multiple lines and shows the line references once on the left and right side of the form, use the same number of line references on the substitute form.
In addition, the reference code that is immediately before the data field must either be followed by a period or enclosed in parentheses. There also must be at least two blank spaces between the period or the right parenthesis and the first digit of the data field. (See example below.)

Miscellaneous Forms and Programs
Section 7.1 - Specifications for Substitute Schedules K-1
for Schedules K-1 That Accompany
Forms 1041, 1065, 1065-B, and 1120S
Note. The formats for Schedules K-1 of Forms 1065 and 1120S have significantly changed for 2004. Because Publication 1167 is printed before the forms become finalized, draft copies are provided in the exhibits (see Exhibits D, E, and F). Before releasing their substitute forms, software vendors are responsible for making any subsequent changes that have been made to the final official IRS forms after the draft forms have been posted.
Because of significant changes to the 2004 Schedules K-1 for Forms 1065 and 1120S and to improve processing, prior approval is now required for substitute Schedules K-1 that accompany Form 1041 (for estates and trusts), Form 1065 (for partnerships), Form 1065-B (for electing large partnerships), or Form 1120S (for S corporations). Substitute Schedules K-1 should be as close as possible to exact replicas of copies of the official IRS schedules and follow the same process for submitting other substitute forms and schedules.
If you feel you will suffer a financial hardship in producing the 2004 Schedules K-1 of Forms 1065 and 1120S because of the significant changes to the form and format, the IRS will consider allowing deviations from the official form for tax year 2004 only. However, you must include all information on the form. Only deviations in placement and format will be considered. You may prepare a justification and submit it to the IRS at *taxforms@irs.gov with “Attn: Substitute Forms” on the subject line or:
You will no longer be able to produce Schedules K-1 that contain only those lines or boxes that taxpayers are required to use. All lines must be included.
The words “*See attached statement for additional information.” must be preprinted in the lower right hand side on Schedules K-1 of Forms 1065 and 1120S.
All K-1s that are filed with the IRS should be printed on standard 8.5” x 11” paper (the international standard (A4) of 8.27” x 11.69” may be substituted).
Each recipient's information must be on a separate sheet of paper. Therefore, you must separate all continuously printed substitutes, by recipient, before filing with the IRS.
No carbon copies or pressure-sensitive copies will be accepted.
The Schedule K-1 must contain the name, address, and SSN or EIN of both the entity (estate, trust, partnership, or S Corporation) and the recipient (beneficiary, partner, or shareholder).
The Schedule K-1 must contain the tax year, the OMB number, the schedule number (K-1), the related form number (1041, 1065, 1065-B, or 1120S), and the official schedule name in substantially the same position and format as shown on the official IRS schedule.
The Schedule K-1 must contain all the line items as shown on the official form, except for the instructions, if any are printed on the back of the official Schedule K-1.
The line items or boxes must be in the same order and arrangement as those on the official form.
The amount of each recipient's share of each item must be shown. Furnishing a total amount of each item and a percentage (or decimal equivalent) to be applied to such total amount by the recipient does not satisfy the law and the specifications of this revenue procedure.
State or local tax-related information may not be included on the Schedules K-1 filed with the IRS.
The entity may have to pay a penalty if substitute Schedules K-1 are filed that do not conform to specifications.
Additionally, the IRS may consider the Schedules K-1 that do not conform to specifications as not being able to process and may return Forms 1041, 1065, 1065-B, or 1120S to the entity to be filed correctly.
Special Requirements for Recipient Copies of
Both pages 1 and 2 of Schedules K-1 of Forms 1065 and 1120S must be provided to each recipient.
The Schedule K-1 must contain the name, address, and SSN or EIN of both the entity and recipient.
All applicable amounts and information required to be reported must be titled and numbered in the same manner as shown on the official IRS schedule. The line items or boxes must be in the same order and arrangement and must be numbered like those on the official IRS schedule.
The Schedule K-1 must contain all items required for use by the recipient. The instructions to the schedule must identify the line or box number and code, if any, for each item as shown in the official IRS schedule.
The amount of each recipient’s share of each item must be shown. Furnishing a total amount of each line item and a percentage (or decimal equivalent) to be applied to such total amount by the recipient does not satisfy the law and the specifications of this revenue procedure.
Instructions to the recipient that are substantially similar to those on or accompanying the official IRS schedule must be provided to aid in the proper reporting of the items on the recipient’s income tax return. Where items are not reported to a recipient because they do not apply, the related instructions may be omitted.
The quality of the ink or other material used to generate recipients’ schedules must produce clearly legible documents. In general, black chemical transfer inks are preferred.
In order to assure uniformity of substitute Schedules K-1, the paper size should be standard 8.5” x 11” (the international standard (A4) of 8.27” x 11.69” may be substituted.)
The paper weight, paper color, font type, font size, font color, and page layout must be such that the average recipient can easily decipher the information on each page.
State or local tax-related information may be included on recipient copies of substitute Schedules K-1. All non-tax-related information should be separated from the tax information on the substitute schedule to avoid confusion for the recipient.
The legend “Important Tax Return Document Enclosed” must appear in a bold and conspicuous manner on the outside of the envelope that contains the substitute recipient copy of Schedule K-1.
The entity may have to pay a penalty if a substitute Schedule K-1 furnished to any recipient does not conform to the specifications of this revenue procedure and results in impeding processing.
for Schedules K-1 with Two-Dimensional
(2-D) Bar Codes
In an effort to reduce the burden of manually transcribing tax documents, improve quality, and increase government efficiency, the IRS is pleased to provide specifications for 2-D bar-coded substitute Schedules K-1 for Forms 1041, 1065, and 1120S. The IRS encourages voluntary participation in adding 2-D barcoding. See Exhibits D, E, and F for examples of draft bar-coded Schedules K-1.
Note. If software vendors do not want to produce bar-coded Schedules K-1, they may produce the official IRS Schedules K-1 but cannot use the expedited process for approving bar-coded K-1’s and their parent returns as outlined in Section 7.1.5.
In addition to the above requirements, the bar-coded Schedules K-1 must meet the following specifications.
The bar code should print in the space labeled “For IRS Use Only” on each Schedule K-1. The entire bar code must print within the “For IRS Use Only” box surrounded by a white space of at least 1/4-inch.
Bar codes will print in PDF 417 format.
The bar codes must always be in the specified format with every field represented by at least a field delimiter (carriage return). Leaving out a field in a bar code will cause every subsequent field to be misread.
Bar-Coded Schedules K-1
The IRS has released the final Schedule K-1 bar-code specifications by publishing them on the IRS.gov web site (see http://www.irs.gov/efile/article/0,,id=113408,00.html)
The IRS will publish a set of test documents that will be used to test the ability of tax preparation software to create bar codes in the correct format.
Software developers will submit two identical copies of the test documents - one to the IRS and one to a contracted testing vendor.
The IRS will use one set to ensure the printed schedules comply with standard substitute forms specifications.
If the printed forms fail to meet the substitute form criteria, the IRS will inform the software developer of the reason for noncompliance.
The software developer must resubmit the Schedule(s) K-1 until they pass the substitute forms criteria.
The testing vendor will review the bar codes to ensure they meet the published bar-code specifications.
If the bar code(s) does not meet published specifications, the testing vendor will contact the software developer directly informing them of the reason for noncompliance.
Software developers must submit new bar-coded schedules until they pass the bar-code test.
When the bar code passes, the testing vendor will inform the IRS that the developer has passed the bar-code test and the IRS will issue an overall approval for both the substitute form and the bar code.
After receiving this consolidated response, the software vendor is free to release software for tax preparation as long as any subsequent revisions to the schedules do not change the fields.
Find the mailing address for the testing vendor below. Separate and simultaneous mailings to the IRS and the vendor will reduce testing time.
for Reducing Testing Time
Mail the parent returns (Forms 1065, 1120S, 1041) and associated bar-coded Schedule(s) K-1 to the appropriate address below in a separate package from all other approval requests.
Attn: Bar-Coded K-1
Northrop Grumman Information Tech
Attn: Bill Philpot, Product Assurance Manager
Phone: (703) 453-1200
While the IRS can expedite bar-coded Schedules K-1 and their associated parent returns, it cannot expedite the approval of non-associated tax returns.
Mail one copy of the parent form(s) and Schedule(s) K-1 to the IRS and another copy to the testing vendor.
Include multiple email and phone contact points in the packages.

the Official Forms
Prepared Tax Forms
The substitute must follow the design of the official form as to format, arrangement, item caption, line numbers, line references, and sequence. It must be an exact textual and graphic mirror image of the official form.
The filer must use one of the official ten character amount formats. All entries in the amount column should have a decimal point following the whole dollar amounts whether or not the vertical line that separates the dollars from the cents is present. It must follow a consistent format.
The reference code must be printed to the left of the corresponding captioned line and also immediately preceding the data entry field even if there is no reference code preceding the data entry field on the official form. The reference code that is immediately before the data field must either be followed by a period or enclosed in parentheses. There also must be at least two blank spaces between the period or the right parenthesis and the first digit of the data field.
The size of the page must be the same as the official form (81/2′′ x 11′′).
The acceptable type is Helvetica.
The spacing of the type must be 6 lines per inch vertically, 10 or 12 print characters per inch horizontally.
A 1/4 inch to 1/2 inch margin must be maintained across the top, bottom, and both sides.
The substitute form must be the same number of pages as the official one.
The preprinted parentheses in the money fields should be retained.
The filer must completely fill in all the specified numbers or referenced lines as they appear on the official form (not just totals) before attaching any supporting statement.
Supporting statements are never to be used until the required official form they support are completely filled in. A blank or incomplete form that refers to a supporting statement, in lieu of completing a tax return, is unacceptable.
Descriptions for captions, lines, etc., appearing in the substitute forms may be limited to one print line by using abbreviations and contractions, and by omitting articles, prepositions, etc. However, sufficient key words must be retained to permit ready identification of the caption, line, or item.
