Short Statement: A corporation uses Form 8827 to claim a refundable credit for certain unused minimum tax credits in lieu of the special depreciation allowance for eligible qualified property. P.L. 111-5, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, section 1201 amended IRC section 168(k). Section 1201 provided an extension, in certain cases, of the election described in IRC section 168(k) to accelerate unused minimum tax credit carryforwards in lieu of the special depreciation allowance on certain property. Corporations will now have to determine whether they wish to take advantage of the extension of the election and, if so, will have to determine whether property falls in the categories of “eligible qualified property” or “extension property”. Lines 7 and 8 were revised to reflect changes resulting from section 3081 of the Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008 (P.L. 110-289). These changes provided that corporations may elect to claim increased minimum tax credits instead of claiming the additional first year depreciation under section 168(k) for certain property. These changes to the Form 8827 resulted in a total burden increase of 267,250 hours. An adjustment in methodology was also made to this ICR to be in line with IRS' burden methodology used for similar forms. This adjustment also added an estimated total of 25,000 hours.
