tax return.
When to file. For applicable election years
beginning in 2005, Form 8752 must be filed and
the required payment made on or before
May 15, 2006.
However, Temporary Regulations section

making the required payment related to certain
back-up section 444 elections.

IRS address listed below.

An entity without a principal office or agency
or principal place of business in the United
States must file Form 8752 with the Internal
Revenue Service Center, Philadelphia, PA 19255.
Penalties. If the required payment is not made
by the due date, the entity may have to pay a
penalty equal to 10% of the underpayment. For
this purpose, “underpayment” means the excess
of the required payment over the amount (if any)
of such payment made on or before the due
date for the applicable election year. The penalty
will not be imposed if the entity can show that
the failure to pay on time was due to reasonable
cause. If you include this penalty with the
entity’s payment, identify and enter the penalty
amount in the bottom margin of page 1. Do not
include the penalty in the Required payment due
space on line 11. Other penalties may also
apply.
Amended return. To correct an error in a Form
8752 already filed, file an amended Form 8752
and write “Amended Return” across the top.

Specific Instructions
Enter the beginning and ending dates of your
applicable election year beginning in 2005. See
the definition of applicable election year under
Line 1. Net income for base year on this page.
Address. Include the suite, room, or other unit
number after the street address. If the Post Office
does not deliver mail to the street address and
the entity has a P.O. box, show the box number
instead of the street address.

Item B. If an applicable election year is the
entity’s first year of existence (i.e., it is a newly
formed entity and therefore does not have a base
year), the required payment is zero.
Item C. If the entity terminated its section 444
election and the termination took effect for a tax
year ending in 2005, or the entity liquidated
during a tax year ending in 2005, check this box.
The entity should claim a full refund of the net
required payment balance shown on line 10. See
section 7519(c)(3) to determine when you are
eligible for the refund.
A partnership’s section 444 election ends if the
partnership changes its accounting period to its
required tax year or some other permitted year, it
is penalized for willfully failing to comply with the
requirements of section 7519, or it becomes a
member of a tiered structure and the same tax
year exception does not apply (see Temporary
Regulations section 1.444-2T for more about
tiered structures).
An S corporation’s section 444 election ends if
it changes its accounting period to a calendar
year or some other permitted year, it is penalized
for willfully failing to comply with the requirements
of section 7519, it becomes a member of a tiered
structure and the same tax year exception does
not apply (see Temporary Regulations section
1.444-2T), or its S corporation election terminates
(unless it immediately becomes a personal
service corporation).
See Temporary Regulations section
1.444-1T(a)(5)(ii) for the effective date of the
termination of a section 444 election.
Once a section 444 election is terminated, the
entity may never make another section 444
election.
Line 1. Net income for base year. The term
base year means the tax year preceding the
applicable election year. Any tax year for which a
section 444 election is in effect, including the
first tax year the section 444 election is made, is
an applicable election year. For example, if you
are completing Form 8752 for the applicable
election year beginning October 1, 2005, and
ending September 30, 2006, the base year is the
tax year beginning October 1, 2004, and ending
September 30, 2005.
Partnerships. Line 1 net income is the
aggregate (not less than zero) of the
partnership’s items of income and expense,
other than tax-exempt income, nondeductible
expenses, and guaranteed payments under
section 707(c). When figuring this amount,
disregard any limitations at the partner level. For
base years beginning in 2004, line 1 should
equal the amount on the 2004 Form 1065, line 1
of Analysis of Net Income (Loss), plus the
aggregate items of income and expense, if any,
reported on the attachment for Schedule K,
line 20c (but not less than zero).
S corporations. Line 1 net income is the
aggregate (not less than zero) of the
corporation’s items of income and expense,
other than tax-exempt income and
nondeductible expenses. When figuring this
amount, disregard any limitations at the
shareholder level. For base years beginning in
2004, line 1 should equal the amount on the
2004 Form 1120S, Schedule K, line 17e, plus the
aggregate items of income and expense, if any,
reported on Schedule K, line 17d (but not less
than zero). For this purpose, all S corporations
must complete Schedule K, line 17e.
If an S corporation was a C corporation for its
base year, the C corporation’s taxable income is
treated as the net income of the S corporation

2

for the base year. See Temporary Regulations
section 1.7519-1T(b)(5) for other details.
Line 2. Applicable payments. In general, the
term applicable payments means any amount
deductible in the base year that is includible at
any time, directly or indirectly, in the gross
income of any partner or shareholder who was a
partner or shareholder during the base year.
However, the term does not include guaranteed
payments. Examples of applicable payments are
officer’s compensation, wages, and rent paid to
any partner or shareholder.
If the S corporation was a C corporation for its
base year, applicable payments of the
C corporation are treated as if received from an
S corporation.
Line 3. Deferral ratio. The deferral period is the
number of months between
● The beginning of the elected tax year and
● The close of the first required tax year ending
within such a year.
For example, the required tax year for an S
corporation is the calendar year, ending on
December 31. If an S corporation elects a tax
year beginning on November 1, there would be 2
months between the beginning of the elected tax
year and the end of the required tax year
(December 31). The deferral period for the elected
tax year would be 2 months.
Line 9b. If you enter zero on line 9b and you did
not make any prior year required payment for
which a refund can be claimed, enter zero on
line 10, skip lines 11 and 12, and complete the
signature section. You are required to file Form
8752 to show that you have a zero liability for
the applicable election year beginning in 2005.
Line 12. Refund of net prior year payments.
No refund will be made before the later of
April 15, 2006, or 90 days after Form 8752 is
filed per section 7519(c)(3). No interest will be
paid on the amount refunded.
