Short Statement: On Form 1120-PC line changes were made, within Schedules E and H, to clarify the new restrictions on the deduction of 100% of unearned premiums by section 833 organizations, enable section 833 organizations to determine whether they meet the 85% medical loss ratio mandated by IRC 833(c)(5) and for qualifying section 833 organizations to compute the special deduction and the ending adjusted surplus (Pub. L. 111-148, section 9016 and IRC 833(c)(5)). A question was added to Schedule I for corporations to indicate whether they have uncertain tax positions (Announcements 2010-9 and 2010-17, and 2010-30). This results in a net increase of 23,028 burden hours.
