Instructions for Recipient
Issuers of certain tax credit bonds or their agents, and recipients of
Form 1097-BTC from the bond issuer or agent who are further
distributing the credit, such as brokers, nominees, mutual funds, or
partnerships, must report to you on at least a quarterly basis, and file
with the IRS annually on a separate Form 1097-BTC, the amount of
tax credit you are allowed for each month of the calendar year (see
instructions).
Recipient's taxpayer identification number (TIN). For your
protection, this form may show only the last four digits of your TIN
(social security number (SSN), individual taxpayer identification
number (ITIN), adoption taxpayer identification number (ATIN), or
employer identification number (EIN)). However, the issuer has
reported your complete TIN to the IRS.

You will not receive a separate fourth quarter report. The
credits for the fourth quarter will be reported together with
the annual aggregate total amount of allowable credits
CAUTION
provided to you by February 18, 2020.
Note: The first three quarters reported on the annual report are
duplicative amounts previously reported. You are allowed to take the
credit amount from each quarter only once.
The checkbox shows if the filer is the issuer of the bond or its agent,
or is an entity or a person that received or should have received this
form and is making a further distribution of the credit.
Box 1. Shows the aggregate total of credits allowed for the calendar
year.
Box 2a. Indicates if the unique identification number is your account
number, the CUSIP number of the bond, or another identifier. For
filings of Form 1097-BTC by the issuer of the bond or its agent (as
indicated by the first checkbox being checked), the first nine
characters of the unique identifier in box 2b must be the CUSIP
number, if available. For further identification, if necessary or desired
by the issuer, the CUSIP number can be followed by an optional

hyphen and then an account number or other unique identifying
number.
If no CUSIP number is available, the account number, or other
unique identifying number by which the bond transaction is tracked by
the issuer, is shown in box 2b.
C—CUSIP number
A—Account number
O—Any other identifier
Box 2b. Shows the unique identifier assigned by the Form 1097-BTC
issuer, limited to 39 alphanumeric characters.
Box 3. Shows the codes for tax credit bonds that are reported on
separate Forms 1097-BTC:
101—Clean renewable energy bond
199—Other
Boxes 5a–5l. These boxes show the amount of the credit you are
allowed for the month during the calendar year.
You may be entitled to claim a credit against your income tax
liabilities, subject to certain limitations under section 54A(c).
Additionally, clean renewable energy bond credits received from a
pass-through entity are limited to the income received from the passthrough entity. New clean renewable energy bond and qualified
energy conservation bond credits are limited to 70% of the credit
amounts determined under section 54A(b); the credit reported on
Form 1097-BTC is the credit amount after the 70% limit has been
applied. For more information, see Form 8912.
Box 6. May show any additional information provided by the form
issuer.

Due dates. Furnish the information shown on Copy B of
this form to the recipient on or before the 15th day of the
second calendar month after the close of the calendar
quarter in which the credit is allowed.
For the first three quarters, report to the recipient only
the amounts for the months of the applicable quarter. Box
1 should not be completed and box 6 is optional.
You are not required to furnish a separate report solely

of those amounts in box 1; and complete the rest of the
form as applicable. If any amounts previously furnished for
the first three quarters need to be corrected, report the
correct amounts for the annual reporting and explain the
correction to the recipient; no explanation is required for
the IRS filing.

For the report furnished to the recipient (quarterly or
annual), you may use Copy B or your own substitute
statement reporting all the same applicable information
(the reporting for the first three quarters may be furnished
electronically).
The IRS encourages Form 1097-BTC issuers to provide
the credit information to the recipient monthly if applicable,
and as soon after the end of the month in which a credit
arises as possible.
Furnish the information shown on Copy B of this form
with the aggregate total amount of allowable credits for the
2019 calendar year to the recipient by February 18, 2020.
File Copy A of this form with the IRS by February 28,
2020. If you file electronically, the due date is March 31,
