6/8/16 CT-43 2015
As a result of recent legislation, the 2015 Form CT-43 has been revised. The revised form shows a box surrounding the form number CT-43 with a revision date of 4/16.
Article 9-A taxpayers who, as mortgagee, paid the special additional mortgage recording tax on residential mortgages in any tax year beginning on or after January 1, 2015, may elect to treat the unused portion of special additional mortgage recording tax credit attributable to such mortgages as an overpayment of tax to be credited or refunded, instead of as a carryforward. Any carryforward of the SAMRTC from a prior period, including credit earned under former Article 32 or Article 9-A in a tax year beginning prior to January 1, 2015, is not eligible to be refunded.
A residential mortgage is defined as a mortgage of real property that has been or will be principally improved by one or more structures containing a total of not more than six residential dwelling units, each with its own separate cooking facilities.
These changes are effective for tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2015, and only apply to special additional mortgage recording tax paid, on or after January 1, 2015, as mortgagee with respect to those residential mortgages.
If you are taxable under Article 9-A of the Tax Law and are claiming a credit for special additional mortgage recording tax paid on a residential mortgage, you should download the revised 2015 Form CT-43 for use. If you have filed your 2015 return including Form CT-43 prior to revision and are now eligible to claim a refund or caryforward of credit attributable to special additional mortgage recording tax paid on residential mortgages, you may file an amended 2015 return and use the revised Form CT-43.
5/25/16 CT-641-I 2014 and 2015
Chapter 60 of the Laws of 2016 amended the definition of real property tax for the manufacturer's real property tax credit. The amendment is effective for tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2014. The bolded text below has been added to the definition. The instructions will not be updated for this law change until 2016.
Real property tax means a charge imposed upon real property by or on behalf of a county, city, town, village, or school district for municipal or school district purposes, provided that the charge is levied for the general public welfare by the proper taxing authorities at a like rate against all property over which such authorities have jurisdiction, and provided that where taxes are levied pursuant to Real Property Tax Law, Article 18 or 19, the property must have been taxed at the rate determined for the class in which it is contained, as provided by such article, whichever is applicable.
In the case of a combined group that constitutes a qualified New York manufacturer, the conditions in the preceding sentence are satisfied if one corporation in the combined group is the lessee and another corporation in the combined group makes the payments to the taxing authority.
The instructions are not being revised to reflect this change.
5/17/16 CT-3-I 2015 On page 16, Part 6, Line 8 instructions, first paragraph, add the following sentence to the end of such first paragraph: “A stock that generates other exempt income as defined in section 208.6-a, and that is not, itself, marked to market under section 475 or section 1256 of the IRC, is not a QFI with respect to such other exempt income only, even if other stocks are marked to market in the tax year.”
5/17/16 CT-3-A-I 2015 On page 17, Part 6, Line 8 instructions, first paragraph, add the following sentence to the end of such first paragraph: “A stock that generates other exempt income as defined in section 208.6-a, and that is not, itself, marked to market under section 475 or section 1256 of the IRC, is not a QFI with respect to such other exempt income only, even if other stocks are marked to market in the tax year.”
On page 21, Worksheet for Part 6, line 47, the line 7, 8, and 9 text is changed to read:
“7 Add all percentage amounts in column D, lines 2, 4, and 6, then divide by three
8 Enter 100% of receipts from other aviation services; also enter on line 47b of Form CT-3-A or Form CT-3-A/BC, as applicable
9 Multiply line 7 by line 8; also enter on line 47a of Form CT-3-A or Form CT-3-A/BC, as applicable”
Also, line 7 of the worksheet should have an entry area only for column D, NYS percentage. Thus, on line 7, the current entry area for column C, Everywhere, should be shaded, and column D, NYS percentage, should be unshaded. For line 8 of the worksheet, the current entry area should not appear as falling under column D, NYS percentage but, rather, should appear as a general entry area as line 9 of the worksheet appears.
5/17/16 CT-3-S-I 2015 On page 8, Part 6, Line 57 instructions, first paragraph, add the following sentence to the end of such first paragraph: “A stock that generates other exempt income as defined in section 208.6-a, and that is not, itself, marked to market under section 475 or section 1256 of the IRC, is not a QFI with respect to such other exempt income only, even if other stocks are marked to market in the tax year.”
5/17/16 CT-3.1-I 2015 On page 2, Schedule B, the following should be added at the end of the definition for other exempt income, after the Tax Law citation: “Provided, however, that if a stock that generates other exempt income as defined in section 208.6-a is, itself, marked to market, and the 8% fixed percentage method election is made, no income from such stock is includible in other exempt income for that tax year. For information concerning marking to market, and the 8% fixed percentage method election, see the Part 6, line 8 instructions of Form CT-3-I, CT-3-A-I, or CT-3-S-I, as applicable.”
5/17/16 CT-3.2-I 2015 On page 2, under the schedule C, line 5 instructions for the definition of total assets, and on page 3, under the Schedule D instructions for the definition of total assets, the 5th sentence is changed to read as follows: “For leased assets that are not properly reflected on a balance sheet, only leased real property is included in total assets, and such real property is valued at the annual lease payment multiplied by eight.”
5/17/16 CT-225-I and CT-225-A-I 2015 There is a new subtraction code, S-509, to be used to report expenses attributable to income that is not in federal taxable income due to a tax treaty. This is for Form CT-3 and CT-3-A filers that are alien corporations only. Also see A-506.
5/13/16 CT-33-A-I 2014 and 2015 The line 74 instructions on page 7 should read: If you have other additions to FTI, you must complete Form CT-225-A, New York State Modifications (for filers of combined franchise tax returns). Enter the amount from Form CT-225-A, line 5.
The line 83 instructions on page 8 should read: If you have other subtractions from FTI, you must complete Form CT-225-A, New York State Modifications (for filers of combined franchise tax returns). Enter the amount from Form CT-225-A, line 10.
The instructions are not being revised.

4/14/16 CT-600 2015 As a result of recent legislation, the ordering of tax credits under Article 9-A of the Tax Law has been amended.

3/16/16 IT-204-I, IT-204-CP-I, IT-204-IP-I 2015 Some credit addback information is missing from these instructions.
3/14/16 CT-3-A-I 2015 On page 27, in the Step 2 instruction that begins on page 26, the reference to “Step 3” should be changed to “Totals of Parts 1 and 2.”
On page 30, first column, first paragraph, in the parenthetical, the word “not” should appear before the word “marked,” so that the parenthetical reads “... (Form CT-3-A, Part 6, line 8 box is not marked), ...“.
3/14/16 CT-3-I 2015 On page 16, first column, add the following at the beginning of the first sentence of the 3rd paragraph under the heading “Section 210-A.5(a)(1) – Qualified financial instruments (QFIs), the 8% method” (the line 8 instruction):
“Regardless of whether or not the 8% fixed percentage method is elected,”
so that such first sentence now reads:
“Regardless of whether or not the 8% fixed percentage method is elected, when any financial instrument has been marked to market that is reported on:... “.
On page 18, first column, under the heading “Section 210-A.5(a)(2)(H) – Income from other financial instruments” line 30 instruction, add the following text to the end of the current instruction:
“If the fixed percentage method election has been made, include on this line:

2/9/16 IT-205-A 2015 The reference on line 33 of Form IT-205-A, Fiduciary Allocation, should be to line 55 rather than to the sum of lines 52 and 55.
