Future Developments
For the latest information about developments
related to Form 8404 and its instructions,
such as legislation enacted after they were
published, go to www.irs.gov/Form8404.

General Instructions
Section references are to the Internal Revenue
Code unless otherwise noted.
Purpose of form. Shareholders of Interest
Charge Domestic International Sales
Corporations (IC-DISCs) use Form 8404 to
figure and report their interest owed on
DISC-related deferred tax liability.
Who must file. You must file Form 8404 if (a)
you are a shareholder of an IC-DISC (or
former IC-DISC); (b) the IC-DISC reports
deferred DISC income to you on line 10, Part
III of Schedule K (Form 1120-IC-DISC); and (c)
the addition of this income would result in
increased taxable income if it were included
on your tax return for the tax year.
When to file. File Form 8404 by the due date
of your federal income tax return (excluding
extensions) for your tax year that ends with or
includes the IC-DISC’s tax year end.
For example, you are a fiscal year
corporation with an August 1, 2022, to July
31, 2023, tax year and you are a shareholder
in an IC-DISC with an August 1, 2022, to July
31, 2023, tax year that reports deferred DISC
income to you for its tax year ending July 31,
2023. Because your tax year ends with the
IC-DISC’s tax year, you are required to file
Form 8404 on or before November 15, 2023
(31/2 months after your tax year ends).

Where to file. File Form 8404 at the following
address.
Department of the Treasury
Internal Revenue Service
Kansas City, MO 64999
Paying the interest charge. You must pay
the interest charge shown on line 9 by the
date your federal income tax for the tax year
is required to be paid. For individuals and
corporations, the interest is generally due on
the 15th day of the 4th month following the
close of the tax year. For corporations with a
tax year ending on June 30, see section
2006(a)(3)(B) of P.L. 114-41.
Attach a check or money order made
payable to “United States Treasury” for the
full amount of the interest charge. Don’t
combine the interest charge with any other
tax or interest due. Write your identification
number and “Form 8404—Interest Due” on
your payment.
If the interest charge isn’t paid by the due
date, interest, compounded daily, at the rate
specified under section 6621, will be imposed
on the amount of unpaid interest from the due
date until the date the interest is paid.
Payment of estimated tax isn’t required for
the interest charge. See Proposed
Regulations section 1.995(f)-1(j)(3) for other
details.
For corporations (other than S
corporations), the annual interest charge is
deductible as an interest expense for the tax
year it is paid or accrued. See Proposed
Regulations section 1.995(f)-1(j)(2) for details
on the tax year of deductibility. For other
filers, this interest isn’t deductible.

For Privacy Act and Paperwork Reduction Act Notice, see instructions.

an amended Form 8404 only if the amount of
the DISC-related deferred tax liability (line 7)
changes as a result of audit adjustments,
changes you make by the filing of an
amended return, or if estimates were used on
your original Form 8404 and changes were
made to these estimates when you filed your
tax return. See Proposed Regulations section
1.995(f)-1(j)(4) for details.

IC-DISCs’ names and respective numbers),
and report the combined income on line 2.
Item D—Tax year. Enter in item D the

Special Computation Rules
Carrybacks. The determination of the
shareholder’s DISC-related deferred tax
liability on lines 1 through 7 shall be made
without taking into account any capital loss
carryback or credit carryback to the tax year.
Carryovers. The determination of the
shareholder’s tax liability (line 5) for the tax
year is made by disregarding any loss,
deduction, or credit to the extent that such
loss, deduction, or credit may be carried
forward by the shareholder to any other tax
year.
Note: If the tax year is the last tax year to
which the amount of carryforward (of loss,
deduction, or credit) may be carried, the line 3
adjustments and line 5 tax shall be figured
with regard to the full amount of such
carryforward.
For example, a shareholder had an NOL
carryover (originating before 2018) to 2022 of
$12,000; $10,000 income to which $10,000 of
the NOL can be applied; $2,000 allowable
NOL carryover to 2023; and $5,000 deferred
DISC income for 2022. In this case, for
purposes of figuring line 5, the allowed NOL is
$10,000. Note: If 2022 was the last tax year to
which the $12,000 NOL (originating before
2018) could be carried, the full $12,000 NOL
would be allowed for purposes of figuring line
5 tax liability. The additional $2,000 loss
would be entered on line 3.
Other adjustments. In figuring line 3
adjustments, take into account any income
and expense adjustments that don’t result in
amounts that may be carried back or forward
to other tax years. For example, in the case of
an IC-DISC shareholder who is an individual,
the amount of medical expenses allowable as
a deduction under section 213 must be
redetermined for purposes of line 3
adjustments.
See Proposed Regulations section
1.995(f)-1(d) for other details regarding these
and other special computation rules.

Line-by-Line Instructions
Line 1. Enter on line 1 the taxable income or
loss from your federal income tax return for
your tax year that ends with or includes the
IC-DISC’s tax year end. If you haven’t yet filed
your tax return, estimate your income or loss
based on all information available to you. See
Amended Form 8404, earlier.
Line 2. Enter the deferred DISC income from
line 10, Part III of Schedule K (Form
1120-IC-DISC), for the IC-DISC tax year that
ends with or within your tax year.
Line 3. Enter the net amount of all section
995(f)(2) adjustments to taxable income. See
Special Computation Rules, earlier, for details
on the income (loss) and expense
adjustments to be made. If more than one
adjustment is involved, attach a statement
listing each item and show the computation of
the net amount.

Lines 5 and 6. “Tax liability” on lines 5 and 6
(with and without the deferred DISC income)
means the amount of tax imposed on the
IC-DISC shareholder for the tax year by
chapter 1 of the Internal Revenue Code (other
than taxes listed below) reduced by credits
allowable against such tax (other than credits
listed below).
See Special Computation Rules, earlier, for
rules for carrybacks and carryovers. These
rules may affect the line 5 computation.
The following taxes aren’t taken into
account.
• Alternative minimum tax (individuals only).
• Any other provisions described in section
26(b)(2) (relating to certain other taxes treated
as not imposed by chapter 1).
The following credits aren’t taken into
account.
• Section 31 (taxes withheld on wages).
• Section 32 (earned income credit).
• Section 34 (fuels credit).
For 2022, a Form 1040 or 1040-SR filer or a
Form 1120 filer using the above rules will
generally figure their line 6 tax liability using
the following items shown on the following
lines of those forms. All other filers should use
the corresponding lines of other income tax
returns. If you haven’t yet filed your return,
estimate the line 6 tax liability based on all
information available to you.

allowable against taxes treated as imposed
under chapter 1 (for example, recapture of
investment tax and low-income housing
credits). See section 26(b)(2) for a list of
recapture taxes to exclude.
Line 8. The base period T-bill rate is defined
in section 995(f)(4). The base period T-bill rate
is compounded daily based on the number of
days in the shareholder’s tax year to
determine the base period T-bill rate factor.
The base period T-bill rate factor for 2022 is
0.017246634 for a 365-day tax year. Enter the
appropriate factor on line 8 of Form 8404. See
Rev. Rul. 2022-21, 2022-47 I.R.B. 468, for a
short tax year or a 52-53-week tax year.
