Caution: DRAFT—NOT FOR FILING
This is an early release draft of an IRS tax form, instructions, or
publication, which the IRS is providing for your information as a courtesy.
Do not file draft forms. Also, do not rely on draft forms, instructions, and
publications for filing. We generally do not release drafts of forms until we
believe we have incorporated all changes. However, unexpected issues
sometimes arise, or legislation is passed, necessitating a change to a draft
form. In addition, forms generally are subject to OMB approval before they
can be officially released. Drafts of instructions and publications usually
have at least some changes before being officially released.
Early release drafts are at IRS.gov/DraftForms, and may remain there
even after the final release is posted at IRS.gov/DownloadForms. All
information about all forms, instructions, and pubs is at IRS.gov/Forms.
Almost every form and publication also has its own page on IRS.gov. For
example, the Form 1040 page is at IRS.gov/Form1040; the Publication 17
page is at IRS.gov/Pub17; the Form W-4 page is at IRS.gov/W4; and the
Schedule A (Form 1040) page is at IRS.gov/ScheduleA. If typing in a link
above instead of clicking on it, be sure to type the link into the address bar
of your browser, not in a Search box. Note that these are friendly shortcut
links that will automatically go to the actual link for the page.
If you wish, you can submit comments about draft or final forms,
instructions, or publications at IRS.gov/FormsComments. We cannot
respond to all comments due to the high volume we receive. Please note that
we may not be able to consider many suggestions until the subsequent
revision of the product.

General Instructions
Purpose of Form

Use Form 8916-A to provide a detailed schedule of the
amounts reported on the applicable Schedule M-3 for cost
of goods sold, interest income, and interest expense.

Who Must File

Generally, Form 8916-A must be filed for each separate
entity required to file a Schedule M-3 for Form 1065, Form
1065-B, Form 1120, Form 1120-C, Form 1120-L, Form
1120-PC, or Form 1120S.
However, certain separate entities that (a) are required to
file a Schedule M-3 and have less than $50 million in total
assets at the end of the tax year or (b) are not required to file
a Schedule M-3 and voluntarily file a Schedule M-3, are not
required to file Form 8916-A but may voluntarily do so. See
the instructions for the applicable Schedule M-3 for each
separate entity.
Note. Schedule M-3 (Form 1120) mixed group filers, all
Schedule M-3 (Form 1120-L) filers, and all Schedule M-3
(Form 1120-PC) filers must file Form 8916-A.
Consolidated groups. In the case of a consolidated tax
group, a Form 8916-A must be filed as part of the Schedules
M-3 prepared for the parent company, each subsidiary, the
eliminations Schedule M-3, and the consolidated Schedule
M-3. It is not required that the supporting detail for Form
8916-A, Part I, line 6, be presented for the eliminations
Schedule M-3 or the consolidated Schedule M-3.
Mixed groups. In the case of a mixed group (as described in
the instructions for Schedule M-3 for Form 1120, Form
1120-L, and Form 1120-PC), a Form 8916-A, if applicable, is
required at the sub-consolidated level and the subconsolidated elimination level.

How To File
Attach Form 8916-A to each applicable separate Schedule
M-3.

Specific Instructions
Note. Any filer that completes Parts II and III of Schedule
M-3 (Form 1120) and Form 8916-A, must complete all
columns, without exception. See the instructions for Parts II
and III of the applicable Schedule M-3.

Line 2n

Report differences attributable to section 263A. For example,
if book inventory costs do not equal section 471 inventory
costs, report differences between section 471 inventory
costs and section 263A inventory costs. This includes all
cost of goods sold differences, not just differences
attributable to additional section 263A cost adjustments to
ending inventory. LIFO taxpayers using the simplified
production method or the simplified resale method should
report the amount of additional section 263A costs
computed after LIFO computations. LIFO taxpayers not
using a simplified section 263A method should report costs
attributable to additional section 263A prior to performing
LIFO computation. Differences due to purchasing, and
storage and handling costs, should generally be reported on
line 2n (to the extent not already included in lines 2a through
2m). Report the additional section 263A cost adjustments to
ending inventory on line 2n (and the reversal of the prior year
ending inventory, if applicable).

Lines 4 and 5
If the taxpayer does not distinguish between obsolescence
and excess inventory reserves and lower of cost or market
write-downs in its general ledger, report all amounts relating
to these reserves on line 4 for excess inventory and
obsolescence reserves.

Line 6
Attach a statement that separately states and adequately
discloses the nature and amount of each expense reported
on this line. See the instructions for the applicable Schedule
M-3 for a definition of “separately stated and adequately
disclosed.” It is not required that the supporting detail for
Form 8916-A, Part I, line 6, be presented for the eliminations
Schedule M-3 or the consolidated Schedule M-3. Report
differences between book inventory costs and section 471
inventory costs on this line.

Line 7
Report all other items with no differences on this line. For
example, if book inventory costs equal section 471 inventory
costs, this line should report total book inventory and section
471 inventory costs without regard to amounts reported on
lines 1 through 5.

Line 8
Line 8 should equal the amount reported on Schedule M-3
(Form 1120), Part II, line 17; Schedule M-3 (Form 1120S),
Part II, line 15; or Schedule M-3 (Form 1065), Part II, line 15.
See the instructions for the applicable Schedule M-3.
