Title

If members of an affiliated group paid their estimated income tax
on a consolidated basis or expect to file a consolidated return for
the tax year, only the common parent corporation may file Form
4466. If members of the group paid estimated income tax
separately, the member who claims the overpayment must file Form
4466.
Note. Form 4466 is not considered a claim for credit or refund.

When To File
File Form 4466 before the 16th day of the 3rd month after the end of
the tax year, but before the corporation files its income tax return.
Do not file Form 4466 before the end of the corporation’s tax year.
An extension of time to file the corporation’s tax return will not
extend the time for filing Form 4466.
