IRS provides answers for 2021 Short-Tax Year Pass-Through Entity Returns and Schedules K-2 and K-3

09 Dec 2021 11:44 AM | Anonymous

In the summer, the Treasury Department and the IRS finalized Schedules K-2 and K-3 for Forms 1065, 1120-S, and 8865 for tax year 2021. The schedules are designed to provide greater clarity for partners and shareholders on how to compute their U.S. income tax liability with respect to items of international tax relevance, including claiming deductions and credits. The Treasury Department and the IRS also finalized instructions associated with the Schedules K-2 and K-3. However, the tax year 2021 Forms, to which Schedules K-2 and K-3 must be attached, have not yet been finalized. Questions have arisen whether the Schedules K-2 and K-3 must be attached to tax year 2020 Forms for partnerships or S corporations with 2021 short tax years; or, in the case of Form 8865, filers of Form 8865 with 2021 short tax years. New FAQs address questions concerning Schedules K-2 and K-3 with respect to 2021 short tax years for pass-through entities and filers of Form 8865.
