Form 8611 (Rev. 1-2006)

General Instructions
Section references are to the Internal
Revenue Code.

Purpose of Form
Use this form if you must recapture part
of the low-income housing credit you
claimed in previous years because:
● The qualified basis of a building
decreased from one year to the next.
The decrease may result from a change
in the eligible basis, or the building no
longer meets the minimum set-aside
requirements of section 42(g)(1), the
gross rent requirement of section
42(g)(2), or the other requirements for
the units which are set aside.
● You disposed of the building or an
ownership interest in it, and you did not
post a satisfactory bond or pledge
eligible U.S. Treasury securities as
collateral. For details on how to avoid
recapture on a building disposition, see
section 42(j)(6); Form 8693, Low-Income
Housing Credit Disposition Bond; and
Rev. Proc. 99-11, 1999-2 I.R.B. 14.
Note. If the decrease in qualified basis is
because of a change in the amount for
which you are financially at risk on the
building, then you must first recalculate
the amount of credit taken in prior years
under section 42(k) before you calculate
the recapture amount on this form.
To complete this form you will need
copies of the following forms that you
have filed:
● Form 8586, Low-Income Housing
Credit (and Form 3800, General Business
Credit, if applicable);

Page

● Form 8609, Low-Income Housing
Credit Allocation and Certification (or
predecessor, Form 8609, Low-Income
Housing Credit Allocation Certification);
● Form 8609-A, Annual Statement for
Low-Income Housing Credit (or
predecessor, Schedule A (Form 8609),
Annual Statement); and
● Form 8611.
Note. Flow-through entities must give
partners, shareholders, and beneficiaries
the information that is reported in items
C, D, E, and F of Form 8611.
Recapture does not apply if:
● You disposed of the building or an
ownership interest in it and you posted a
satisfactory bond or pledged eligible
U.S. Treasury securities as collateral (for
details, see section 42(j)(6); Form 8693;
and Rev. Proc. 99-11);
● You disposed of not more than 331⁄3 %
in the aggregate of your ownership
interest in a building that you held
through a partnership, or you disposed
of an ownership interest in a building
that you held through a partnership to
which section 42(j)(5) applies or through
an electing large partnership;
● The decrease in qualified basis does
not exceed the additions to qualified
basis for which credits were allowable in
years after the year the building was
placed in service;
● You correct a noncompliance event
within a reasonable period after it is
discovered or should have been
discovered;
● The qualified basis is reduced
because of a casualty loss, provided the
property is restored or replaced within a
reasonable period.

Recordkeeping
In order to verify changes in qualified
basis from year to year, keep a copy of
all Forms 8586, 8609, 8609-A (or
predecessor, Schedule A (Form 8609)),
8611, and 8693 for 3 years after the
15-year compliance period ends.

Specific Instructions
Note. If recapture is passed through
from a flow-through entity (partnership,
S corporation, estate or trust), skip lines
1–7 and go to line 8.
Item F. If the building is financed with
tax-exempt bonds, furnish the following
information: (1) name of the entity that
issued the bond (not the name of the
entity receiving the benefit of the
financing); (2) date of issue, generally the
first date there is a physical exchange of
the bonds for the purchase price;
(3) name of the issue, or if not named,
other identification of the issue; and
(4) CUSIP number of the bond with the
latest maturity date. If the issue does not
have a CUSIP number, enter “None.”
Line 1. Enter the total credits claimed on
the building for all prior years from Part I
of all Forms 8586 (before reduction due
to the tax liability limit) you have filed.
Do not include credits taken by a
previous owner.
Line 2. Determine the amount to enter
on this line by completing a separate
Line 2 Worksheet (below) for each prior
year for which line 7 of 8609-A (or
predecessor, Schedule A (Form 8609))
was completed.

Line 6. Enter the percentage decrease in
qualified basis during the current year.
For this purpose, figure qualified basis
without regard to any additions to
qualified basis after the first year of the
credit period. Compare any decrease in
qualified basis first to additions to
qualified basis. Recapture applies only if
the decrease in qualified basis exceeds
additions to qualified basis after the first
year of the credit period.
If you disposed of the building or an
ownership interest in it and did not post
a bond, you must recapture all of the
accelerated portion shown on line 5.
Enter 1.000 on line 6.
Note. If the decrease causes the
qualified basis to fall below the minimum
set-aside requirements of section
42(g)(1) (the 20-50 test or the 40-60
test), then 100% of the amount shown
on line 5 must be recaptured. Enter
1.000 on line 6. If you elected the 40-60
test for this building and the decrease
causes you to fall below 40%, you
cannot switch to the 20-50 test to meet
the set-aside requirements. You must
recapture the entire amount shown on
line 5.
Line 7. If there was a prior recapture of
accelerated credits on the building, do
not recapture that amount again as the
result of the current reduction in
qualified basis. The following example
demonstrates how to incorporate into
the current (Year 4) recapture the first
year (Year 1) accelerated portion as a
result of a prior year (Year 2) recapture
event.

Line 13. Subtract the amount on line 9
from the total of all prior year unused
credits attributable to the building (Step
1 of the line 9 instruction above). Enter
the result on line 13.
Line 14.
For information
on how to report
the recapture tax See the instructions
on...
for the...

Line 9. Compute the unused portion of
the accelerated amount on line 7 by:
Step 1. Totaling the credits
attributable to the building that you
could not use in prior years.*
Step 2. Reducing the result of step 1
by any unused credits attributable to
additions to qualified basis.
Step 3. Multiplying the result of step 2
by the decimal amount on line 4.
Step 4. Multiplying the result of step 3
by the decimal amount on line 6.
Step 5. Enter the result of step 4 on
line 9.
*Generally, this is the amount of credit reported on
line 1 of this Form 8611 reduced by the total
low-income housing credits allowed on Form 8586
or Form 3800 for each year.

Special rule for electing large
partnerships. Enter zero on line 9. An
electing large partnership is treated as
having fully used all prior year credits.
Line 11. Compute the interest separately
for each prior tax year for which a credit
is being recaptured. Interest must be
computed at the overpayment rate
determined under section 6621(a)(1) and
compounded on a daily basis from the
due date (not including extensions) of
the return for the prior year until the
earlier of (a) the due date (not including
extensions) of the return for the
recapture year, or (b) the date the return
for the recapture year is filed and any
income tax due for that year has been
fully paid.
Tables of interest factors to compute
daily compound interest were published
in Rev. Proc. 95-17, 1995-1 C.B. 556.
The interest rate in effect through March
31, 2006, is shown in Rev. Rul. 2005-78,
2005-51 I.R.B. 1157. For periods after
March 31, 2006, use the overpayment
rate under section 6621(a)(1) in the
revenue rulings published quarterly in
the Internal Revenue Bulletin.
Note. If the line 8 recapture amount is
from a section 42(j)(5) partnership, the
partnership will figure the interest and
include it in the recapture amount
reported to you. Enter “-0-” on line 11
and write “Section 42(j)(5)” to the left of
the entry space for line 11.

8586 (or line 7 on the 2004 Form 8586, if
applicable) from the total of the line 14
amounts from all Forms 8611. Enter the
result (but not less than zero) on Form
1065-B, Part I, line 26.
Note. You must also reduce the current
year low-income housing credit, before
entering it on Schedules K and K-1, by
the amount of the reduction to the total
of the recapture amounts.
Line 15. Carry forward the low-income
housing credit attributable to this
building to the next tax year. Report any
carryforward on the carryforward line of
the Form 3800 for the next tax year. See
the instructions for Form 3800 for details
on how to report the carryforward of
unused credits.
Lines 16 and 17. Only section 42(j)(5)
partnerships complete these lines. This
is a partnership (other than an electing
large partnership) that has at least 35
partners, unless the partnership elects
(or has previously elected) not to be
treated as a section 42(j)(5) partnership.
For purposes of this definition, a
husband and wife are treated as one
partner.

Line 7—Example. $2,700 of accelerated portion of low-income housing credit spread over a 10-year period and not falling
below the minimum set-asides for the building. Also, there was a 20% reduction in qualified basis in Year 2 and 30% in Year 4.

Form 8611 (Rev. 1-2006)

For purposes of determining the credit
recapture amount, a section 42(j)(5)
partnership is treated as the taxpayer to
which the low-income housing credit
was allowed and as if the amount of
credit allowed was the entire amount
allowable under section 42(a).
See the instructions for line 11 to
figure the interest on line 16. The
partnership must attach Form 8611 to its
Form 1065 and allocate this amount to
each partner on Schedule K-1 (Form
1065) in the same manner as the
partnership’s taxable income is allocated
to each partner.
