Form 8689 (2009)

Form 8689 (2009)
Section references are to the Internal Revenue Code unless otherwise noted.

Instructions
Purpose of form. Use Form 8689 to figure the amount of U.S. tax
allocable to the U.S. Virgin Islands (USVI).
Who must file. If you were a U.S. citizen or resident alien (other than a
bona fide resident of the USVI) and had income from sources in the
USVI or income effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or
business in the USVI, you may owe tax to the USVI. Your USVI tax
liability is a percentage of your U.S. tax liability.
Do not use this form if you were a bona fide resident of the
USVI during the entire tax year, or were considered a bona
fide resident of the USVI for the entire tax year under the
special rules for the year of a move (see chapter 1 of
Pub. 570, Tax Guide for Individuals With Income From U.S.
Possessions).
Joint returns. If you file jointly and only one spouse is a bona fide
resident of the USVI for the entire tax year, the resident status for both
spouses and subsequent tax treatment is determined by the spouse
with the higher adjusted gross income (AGI) (disregarding community
property laws). File Form 8689 only if the spouse with the higher AGI is
not a bona fide resident of the USVI for the entire tax year.
Where to file. You must file identical tax returns with the United States
and the USVI. File your original Form 1040 (including Form 8689) with
the Department of the Treasury, Internal Revenue Service Center,
Austin, TX 73301-0215.
File a signed copy of your Form 1040 (with all attachments, forms,
and schedules, including Form 8689) with the Virgin Islands Bureau of
Internal Revenue, 9601 Estate Thomas, Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas, VI
00802. They will accept a signed copy of your U.S. return and process it
as an original return.
Additional information. Pub. 570 has more information and an example
of how to complete Form 8689. To get Pub. 570, see Quick and Easy
Access to Tax Help and Tax Products in the instructions for Form 1040.

Part I—Income From the U.S. Virgin Islands
Source of income. The rules for determining the source of income are
explained in sections 861 through 865, section 937, in Regulations
section 1.937-2 and in chapter 2 of Pub. 570. Some general rules are:
● The source of wages, salaries, or tips is generally where the services
are performed. If you worked both in and outside the USVI, include on
line 1 only wages, salaries, or tips earned while you were in the USVI.
However, certain income earned while temporarily performing services
in the USVI will not be considered USVI source income. For details, see
Pub. 570, chapter 2, De minimis exception.
● The source of interest income is generally where the payer is located.
For example, interest from a certificate of deposit issued by a USVI bank
or a USVI branch of a U.S. bank is USVI source income.
● Generally, dividends are sourced where the paying corporation is
created or organized.
● Taxable refunds, credits, or offsets of local USVI income taxes include
only nonmirror code income taxes.
● Alimony received from a person who is a bona fide resident of the
USVI is USVI source income.
● Except as provided in regulations, income earned after December 31,
2004, that is from sources within the United States or effectively
connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States
is not income from the USVI.
● The source of gains, profits, or income from the sale or disposition of
real property (and interest in real property) is generally where the real
property is located.
Personal property. The source of income from the sale of
nondepreciable personal property is generally the seller’s residence. For
example, if you are a bona fide resident of the USVI, gain from the sale
or disposition of personal property is generally from sources within the
USVI. Income from the sale of inventory is generally sourced where the
title to the property passes. See section 865 for details.
Special rules may apply to bona fide residents of U.S.
possessions who have gain from dispositions of certain
investment property within the 10-year period beginning
when they became a bona fide resident. For details, see
chapter 2 of Pub. 570, Regulations section 1.937-2(f)(1), and Examples 1
and 2 of section 1.937-2(k).

Part II—Adjusted Gross Income From the
U.S. Virgin Islands
Lines 21 through 23. If you had USVI source self-employment income,
figure the amount to enter on each line by (1) dividing your USVI source
self-employment income by your total (worldwide) self-employment
income, and (2) multiplying the total amount of each deduction that
applies to you by the result in (1).
Line 24. Enter the amount of penalty on early withdrawals from savings
accounts in USVI banks or USVI branches of U.S. banks. The Form
1099-INT or Form 1099-OID you received will show the amount of any
penalty you were charged.
Line 25. Enter the total of your and your spouse’s IRA deductions
attributable to USVI compensation or earned income. Figure the amount
to report on line 25 by (1) dividing your USVI compensation or earned
income by your total (worldwide) compensation or earned income, and
(2) multiplying the amount of your IRA deduction by the result in (1).
Figure the amount of your spouse’s IRA deduction the same way.
Line 28. Include in the total on line 28 the amount of any other
deductions included on Form 1040, line 36, that are attributable to your
USVI income. On the dotted line next to line 28, enter the amount of
each deduction attributable to your USVI income and identify it as you
did on Form 1040, line 36. If you or your spouse had an Archer MSA
deduction on Form 1040, line 36, figure the amount to report on line 28
the same way you would an IRA deduction (see Line 25, above).

Part IV—Payments of Income Tax to the
U.S. Virgin Islands
Amounts overpaid to the United States generally will not be applied to
the amount you owe to the USVI. Similarly, amounts overpaid to the
USVI will not be applied to the amount you owe to the United States.
Credit for U.S. tax paid to the USVI. You can take a credit on your U.S.
return for the U.S. tax allocated to the USVI only if you actually paid the
tax to the USVI. To take the credit, you must complete Form 8689 and
attach it to your Form 1040. Add line 40 and line 44 of Form 8689 and
include the amount in the total on Form 1040, line 71. On the dotted line
next to line 71, enter “Form 8689” and the amount paid.

Penalty for Failure To Furnish Information
If, in tax year 2001 or later, you became or ceased to be a bona fide
resident of a U.S. possession, you may be required to file Form 8898,
Statement for Individuals Who Begin or End Bona Fide Residence in a
U.S. Possession.
If you fail to provide the required information, you may have to pay a
$1,000 penalty for each failure unless you can show the failure was due
to reasonable cause and not willful neglect. This penalty is in addition to
any criminal penalty provided by law. For details, see the Instructions for
Form 8898.
