Abstract: 26 CFR 1.6038-4, issued under the authority of 26 U.S.C. 6001, 6011, 6012, 6031, 6038, and 7805, requires U.S. persons that are the ultimate parent entity of a U.S. multinational enterprise (U.S. MNE) group with annual revenue for the preceding reporting period of $850 million or more to file Form 8975 with their income tax return. Form 8975 and Schedules A (Form 8975) are used by filers to annually report certain information with respect to the filer's U.S. MNE group on a country-by-country basis. The filer must list the U.S. MNE group's constituent entities, indicating each entity's tax jurisdiction (if any), country of organization and main business activity, and provide financial and employee information for each tax jurisdiction in which the U.S. MNE does business. The financial information includes revenues, profits, income taxes paid and accrued, stated capital, accumulated earnings, and tangible assets other than cash. Separate Schedules A (Form 8975) are filed for each tax jurisdiction in which a group has one or more constituent entities resident.
