The Form 8916 reconciles taxable income per the Schedule M-3 for the Forms 1120, 1120-L, or 1120-PC with the taxable income on mixed groups filing Form 1120, 1120-L, or 1120-PC. This is necessary because certain special adjustments are required to match taxable income of mixed groups as reported on the Schedule M-3 with taxable income they report on Forms 1120, 1120-L, or 1120-PC.
