Instructions for Form
1040NR-EZ
U.S. Income Tax Return for Certain Nonresident Aliens With No Dependents
Section references are to the
Internal Revenue Code unless
otherwise noted.

Can I Use Form
1040NR-EZ?
You can use Form 1040NR-EZ instead
of Form 1040NR if all 11 of the
following apply.
1. You do not claim any
dependents.
2. You cannot be claimed as a
dependent on another person’s U.S.
tax return (such as your parent’s
return).
3. Your only U.S. source income
was from wages, salaries, tips, taxable
refunds of state and local income taxes,
and scholarship or fellowship grants.
Note. If you had taxable interest or
dividend income, you cannot use this
form.
4. Your taxable income (line 14 of
Form 1040NR-EZ) is less than
$100,000.
5. The only adjustments to income
you can claim are the exclusion for
scholarship and fellowship grants or the
student loan interest deduction.
6. You do not claim any tax credits.
7. If you were married, you do not
claim an exemption for your spouse.
8. The only itemized deduction you
can claim is for state and local income

students or business apprentices may
be able to take the standard deduction
instead of the itemized deduction for
state and local income taxes. See the
instructions for line 11 on page 6.
9. This is not an “expatriation
return.” See the Instructions for Form
1040NR for more information.
10. The only taxes you owe are:
a. The tax from the Tax Table on
pages 12 through 20.
b. The social security and Medicare
tax on tip income not reported to your
employer.
11. You do not claim a credit for
excess social security and tier 1 RRTA
tax withheld.

General Instructions
What’s New for 2005
Hurricane tax relief. Emergency tax
relief was enacted as a result of
Hurricanes Katrina, Rita, and Wilma.
The tax benefits provided by this relief
include the following.
• Suspended limits for certain personal
casualty losses and cash contributions.
• An additional exemption amount if
you provided housing for a person
displaced by Hurricane Katrina.
• Election to use your 2004 earned
income to figure your additional child
tax credit.
• Increased standard mileage rate for
using your vehicle for volunteer work
related to Hurricane Katrina.
• Special rules for time and support
tests for people who were temporarily
relocated because of Hurricanes
Katrina, Rita, and Wilma.
• Special rules for withdrawals and
loans from IRAs and other qualified
retirement plans.
You must use Form 1040NR to claim
any of these benefits.
For more details on these and other
tax benefits related to Hurricanes
Katrina, Rita, and Wilma, see Pub.
4492, Information for Taxpayers
Affected by Hurricanes Katrina, Rita,
and Wilma.
Residents of Japan. Beginning in
2005, single filing status (box 1) is
generally not available to residents of
Japan who were married, have a child,
and did not live with their spouse. This
is because the new U.S.-Japan income
tax treaty, which became effective on
January 1, 2005, does not allow this
filing status. However, if you elect to
have the old U.S.-Japan income tax
treaty apply in its entirety for 2005, you
may be able to claim single filing status
on your 2005 Form 1040NR-EZ.

What’s New for 2006
New exception from the filing
requirement for nonresident alien
individuals. Generally, the
requirement to file a return has been
eliminated for nonresident aliens who
earn wages effectively connected with a
U.S. trade or business that are less
Cat. No. 21718P

than the amount of one personal
exemption ($3,300 for 2006). For more
information, see Notice 2005-77,
2005-46 I.R.B. 951. You can find Notice
2005-77 on page 951 of Internal
Revenue Bulletin 2005-46 at
www.irs.gov/pub/irs-irbs/irb05-46.pdf.
Personal exemption and itemized
deduction phaseouts reduced. The
phaseouts of the personal exemptions
and itemized deductions will be
reduced by 1/3.

Other Reporting
Requirements
If you meet the closer connection to a
foreign country exception to the
substantial presence test, you must file
Form 8840. If you exclude days of
presence in the United States for
purposes of the substantial presence
test, you must file Form 8843. This rule
does not apply to
foreign-government-related individuals
who exclude days of presence in the
United States. Certain dual-resident
taxpayers who claim tax treaty benefits
must file Form 8833. A dual-resident
taxpayer is one who is a resident of
both the United States and another
country under each country’s tax laws.

Additional Information
If you need more information, our free
publications may help you. Pub. 519,
U.S. Tax Guide for Aliens, will be the

receiving IRS assistance in completing
the forms).

Resident Alien or
Nonresident Alien
If you are not a citizen of the United
States, specific rules apply to determine
if you are a resident alien or a
nonresident alien for tax purposes.
Generally, you are considered a
resident alien if you meet either the
green card test or the substantial
presence test for 2005. (These tests
are explained below.) Even if you do
not meet either of these tests, you may
be able to choose to be treated as a
U.S. resident for part of 2005. See
First-Year Choice in Pub. 519 for
details.
You are generally considered a
nonresident alien for the year if you are
not a U.S. resident under either of
these tests. However, even if you are a
U.S. resident under one of these tests,
you may still be considered a
nonresident alien if you qualify as a
resident of a treaty country within the
meaning of the tax treaty between the
United States and that country. You
can download the complete text of most
U.S. treaties at www.irs.gov. Technical
explanations for many of those treaties
are also available at that site.
For more details on resident and
nonresident status, the tests for
residence and the exceptions to them,
see Pub. 519.

Green Card Test
You are a resident for tax purposes if
you were a lawful permanent resident
(immigrant) of the United States at any
time during 2005.

Substantial Presence Test
You are considered a U.S. resident if
you meet the substantial presence test
for 2005. You meet this test if you were
physically present in the United States
for at least:
1. 31 days during 2005, and
2. 183 days during the period 2005,
2004, and 2003, counting all the days
of physical presence in 2005, but only
1/3 the number of days of presence in
2004 and only 1/6 the number of days in
2003.
Generally, you are treated as
present in the United States on any day
that you are physically present in the
country at any time during the day.
However, there are exceptions to this
rule. Generally, do not count the
following as days of presence in the
United States for the substantial
presence test.
• Days you commute to work in the
United States from a residence in
Canada or Mexico if you regularly
commute from Canada or Mexico.

• Days you are in the United States for

less than 24 hours when you are in
transit between two places outside the
United States.
• Days you are in the United States as
a crew member of a foreign vessel.
• Days you intend, but are unable, to
leave the United States because of a
medical condition that arose while you
were in the United States.
• Days you are an exempt individual
(defined below).
Exempt individual. For these
purposes, an exempt individual is
generally an individual who is a:
• Foreign-government-related
individual,
• Teacher or trainee,
• Student, or
• Professional athlete who is
temporarily in the United States to
compete in a charitable sports event.

Note. Alien individuals with “Q” visas
are treated as either students, teachers,
or trainees and, as such, are exempt
individuals for purposes of the
substantial presence test if they
otherwise qualify. “Q” visas are issued
to aliens participating in certain
international cultural exchange
programs.
See Pub. 519 for more details
regarding days of presence in the
United States for the substantial
presence test.

Closer Connection to Foreign
Country
Even though you would otherwise meet
the substantial presence test, you can
be treated as a nonresident alien if you:
• Were present in the United States for
fewer than 183 days during 2005,
• Establish that during 2005 you had a
tax home in a foreign country, and
• Establish that during 2005 you had a
closer connection to one foreign
country in which you had a tax home
than to the United States unless you
had a closer connection to two foreign
countries. See Pub. 519 for more
information.

Who Must File
File Form 1040NR-EZ (or
Form 1040NR) if you were a
nonresident alien engaged in a trade or
business in the United States during
2005. You must file even if —

trade or business conducted in the
United States,
• You have no income from U.S.
sources, or
• Your income is exempt from U.S. tax.
Exception. If you were a
nonresident alien student, teacher, or
trainee who was temporarily present in
the United States under an “F,” “J,” “M,”
or “Q” visa, you must file Form

-2-

1040NR-EZ (or Form 1040NR) only if
you have income (such as wages,
salaries, tips, etc. or scholarship and
fellowship grants) that is subject to tax

return.
Nonresident aliens who make
this election may forfeit the right
CAUTION to claim benefits otherwise

more details, see the specific treaty.

!

Dual-Status Taxpayers
Note. If you elect to be taxed as a
resident alien (discussed above), the
special instructions and restrictions
discussed here do not apply.

Dual-Status Tax Year
A dual-status year is one in which you
change status between nonresident
and resident alien. Different U.S.
income tax rules apply to each status.
Most dual-status years are the years
of arrival or departure. Before you
arrive in the United States, you are a
nonresident alien. After you arrive, you
may or may not be a resident,
depending on the circumstances.
If you become a U.S. resident, you
stay a resident until you leave the
United States. You may become a
nonresident alien when you leave, if,
after leaving (or after your last day of
lawful permanent residency if you met
the green card test) and for the
remainder of the calendar year of your
departure, you have a closer
connection to a foreign country than to
the United States, and, during the next
calendar year, you are not a U.S.
resident under either the green card
test or the substantial presence test.
See Pub. 519.

What and Where To File for a
Dual-Status Year
If you were a U.S. resident on the last
day of the tax year, file Form 1040.
Enter “Dual-Status Return” across the
top and attach a statement showing
your income for the part of the year you
were a nonresident. You can use
Form 1040NR-EZ as the statement;
Instructions for Form 1040NR-EZ

enter “Dual-Status Statement” across
the top. File your return and statement
with the Internal Revenue Service
Center, Philadelphia, PA 19255, U.S.A.
If you were a nonresident on the last
day of the tax year, file
Form 1040NR-EZ. Enter “Dual-Status
Return” across the top and attach a
statement showing your income for the
part of the year you were a U.S.
resident. You may use Form 1040 as
the statement; enter “Dual-Status
Statement” across the top. File your
return and statement with the Internal
Revenue Service Center, Philadelphia,
PA 19255, U.S.A.
Statements. Any statement you file
with your return must show your name,
address, and identifying number (see
page 4).

Income Subject to Tax for
Dual-Status Year
As a dual-status taxpayer not filing a
joint return, you are taxed on income
from all sources for the part of the year
you were a resident alien. Generally,
you are taxed on income only from U.S.
sources for the part of the year you
were a nonresident alien. However, all
income that is considered to be
effectively connected with the conduct
of a trade or business in the United
States is taxable.
Income you received as a
dual-status taxpayer from sources
outside the United States while a
resident alien is taxable even if you
became a nonresident alien after
receiving it and before the close of the
tax year. Conversely, income you
received from sources outside the
United States while a nonresident alien
is not taxable in most cases even if you
became a resident alien after receiving
it and before the close of the tax year.
Income from U.S. sources is taxable
whether you received it while a
nonresident alien or a resident alien.

Restrictions for Dual-Status
Taxpayers
Standard deduction. You cannot take
the standard deduction.
Head of household. You cannot use
the Head of Household Tax Table
column or Section D of the Tax
Computation Worksheet.
Joint return. You cannot file a joint
return unless you elect to be taxed as a
resident alien (see Election To Be
Taxed as a Resident Alien starting on
page 2) in lieu of these dual-status
taxpayer rules.
Tax rates. If you were married and a
nonresident of the United States for all
or part of the tax year and you do not
make the election to be taxed as a
resident alien as discussed on this
page, you must use the Married filing
separately column in the Tax Table to

-3-

figure your tax on income that is
considered to be effectively connected
with a U.S. trade or business. If
married, you cannot use the Single Tax
Table column.
Deduction for exemptions. As a
dual-status taxpayer, you usually will be
entitled to your own personal
exemption. Subject to the general rules
for qualification, you are allowed
exemptions for your spouse in figuring
taxable income for the part of the year
you were a resident alien. The amount
you can claim for these exemptions is
limited to your taxable income
(determined without regard to
exemptions) for the part of the year you
were a resident alien. You cannot use
exemptions (other than your own) to
reduce taxable income to below zero
for that period.
Tax credits. You cannot take the
earned income credit, the credit for the
elderly or disabled, or an education
credit unless you elect to be taxed as a
resident alien (see Election To Be
Taxed as a Resident Alien starting on
page 2) in lieu of these dual-status
taxpayer rules. For information on other
credits, see chapter 6 of Pub. 519.

How To Figure Tax for
Dual-Status Tax Year
When you figure your U.S. tax for a
dual-status year, you are subject to
different rules for the part of the year
you were a resident and the part of the
year you were a nonresident.
All income for the period of
residence and all income that is
considered to be effectively connected
with a trade or business in the United
States for the period of nonresidence,
after allowable deductions, is combined
and taxed at the same rates that apply
to U.S. citizens and residents.
Credit for taxes paid. You are allowed
a credit against your U.S. income tax
liability for certain taxes you paid, are
considered to have paid, or that were

Line Instructions for
Form 1040NR-EZ
Identifying Number and
Address
Identifying number. You are generally
required to enter your social security
number (SSN). To apply for this
number, get Form SS-5, Application for
a Social Security Card, from your local
Social Security Administration (SSA)
office or call the SSA at
1-800-772-1213. You can also
download Form SS-5 from the SSA’s
website at www.socialsecurity.gov/
online/ss-5.html. You must visit an SSA
office in person and submit your Form
SS-5 along with original documentation
showing your age, identity, immigration
status, and authority to work in the
United States. If you are an F-1 or M-1
student, you must also show your Form
I-20. If you are a J-1 exchange visitor,
you will also need to show your Form
DS-2019. Generally, you will receive
your card about 2 weeks after the SSA
has all of the necessary information.
If you do not have an SSN and are
not eligible to get one, you must get an
individual taxpayer identification
number (ITIN). For details on how to do
so, see Form W-7 and its instructions. It
usually takes about 4-6 weeks to get an
ITIN. If you already have an ITIN, enter
it wherever your SSN is requested on
your tax return.
Note. An ITIN is for tax use only. It
does not entitle you to social security
benefits or change your employment or
immigration status under U.S. law.
An incorrect or missing identifying
number may increase your tax or
reduce your refund.
P.O. box. Enter your box number only
if your post office does not deliver mail
to your home.
Foreign address. Enter the
information in the following order: City,
province or state, and country. Follow
the country’s practice for entering the
postal code. Do not abbreviate the
country name.

child placed with you by an authorized
placement agency, or by judgment,
decree, or other order of any court of
competent jurisdiction.

Rounding Off to Whole
Dollars
You may round off cents to whole
dollars on your return. If you do round
to whole dollars, you must round all
amounts. To round, drop amounts
under 50 cents and increase amounts
from 50 to 99 cents to the next dollar.
For example, $1.39 becomes $1 and
$2.50 becomes $3.
If you have to add two or more
amounts to figure the amount to enter
on a line, include cents when adding
the amounts and round off only the
total.

Taxable Income
Line 3 — Wages, salaries, tips, etc.
Enter the total of your effectively
connected wages, salaries, tips, etc.
For most people, the amount to enter
on this line should be shown in their
Form(s) W-2, box 1. However, do not
include on line 3 amounts exempted
under a tax treaty. Instead, include
these amounts on line 6 and complete
item J on page 2 of Form 1040NR-EZ.
Also include on line 3:

• Wages received as a household

employee for which you did not receive
a Form W-2 because your employer
paid you less than $1,400 in 2005.
Also, enter “HSH” and the amount not
reported on a Form W-2 on the dotted
line next to line 3.
• Tip income you did not report to your
employer. Also include allocated tips
shown on your Form(s) W-2 unless you
can prove that you received less.
Allocated tips should be shown in your
Form(s) W-2, box 8. They are not
included as income in box 1. See
Pub. 531 for more details.
You may owe social security
and Medicare tax on unreported
CAUTION or allocated tips. See the
instructions for line 16 on page 7.
• Disability pensions shown on
Form 1099-R if you have not reached
the minimum retirement age set by your
employer.
Note. You must use Form 1040NR to
report disability pensions received after
you reach your employer’s minimum
retirement age and other payments
shown on Form 1099-R.
Missing or incorrect Form W-2.
Your employer is required to provide or
send Form W-2 to you no later than
January 31, 2006. If you do not receive
it by early February, ask your employer
for it. Even if you do not get a Form
W-2, you must still report your earnings
on line 3. If you lose your Form W-2 or
it is incorrect, ask your employer for a
new one.

Dependent care benefits. If you
received benefits for 2005 under your
employer’s dependent care plan, you
must use Form 1040NR. The benefits
should be shown in your Form(s) W-2,
box 10.
Adoption benefits. If you received
employer-provided adoption benefits for
2005, you must use Form 1040NR. The
benefits should be shown in your
Form(s) W-2, box 12, with code T.
Tax-exempt interest. Certain types
of interest income from investments in
state and municipal bonds and similar
instruments are not taxed by the United
States. If you received such tax-exempt
interest income, enter “TEI” and the
amount of your tax-exempt interest on
the dotted line next to line 3. Include
any exempt-interest dividends from a
mutual fund or other regulated
investment company. But do not
include interest earned on your IRA or
Coverdell education savings account,
or interest from a U.S. bank, savings
and loan association, credit union, or
similar institution (or from certain
deposits with U.S. insurance
companies) that is exempt from tax
under a tax treaty or under
section 871(i) because the interest is
not effectively connected with a U.S.
trade or business. Do not add any
tax-exempt interest to your line 3 total.
Line 4 — Taxable refunds, credits, or
offsets of state and local income
taxes. If you received a refund, credit,
or offset of state or local income taxes
in 2005, you may receive a
Form 1099-G. If you chose to apply
part or all of the refund to your 2005
estimated state or local income tax, the
amount applied is treated as received
in 2005.
For details on how to figure the
amount you must report as income, see
Recoveries in Pub. 525.
Line 5 — Scholarship and fellowship
grants. If you received a scholarship or
fellowship, part or all of it may be
taxable.
If you were a degree candidate, the
amounts you used for expenses other
than tuition and course-related
expenses (fees, books, supplies, and
equipment) are generally taxable. For
example, amounts used for room,
board, and travel are generally taxable.
If you were not a degree candidate,
the full amount of the scholarship or
fellowship is generally taxable. Also,
amounts received in the form of a
scholarship or fellowship that are
payment for teaching, research, or
other services are generally taxable as
wages even if the services were
required to get the grant.
If the grant was reported on
Form(s) 1042-S, you must generally
include the amount shown in Form(s)
1042-S, box 2, on line 5. However, if
Instructions for Form 1040NR-EZ

any or all of that amount is exempt by
treaty, do not include the treaty-exempt
amount on line 5. Instead, include the
treaty-exempt amount on line 6 and
complete item J on page 2 of
Form 1040NR-EZ.
Attach any Form(s) 1042-S you
received from the college or institution.
If you did not receive a Form 1042-S,
attach a statement from the college or
institution (on their letterhead) showing
the details of the grant.
For more information about
scholarships and fellowships in general,
see Pub. 970.
Example 1. You are a citizen of a
country that has not negotiated a tax
treaty with the United States. You are a
candidate for a degree at ABC
University (located in the United
States). You are receiving a full
scholarship from ABC University. The
total amounts you received from ABC
University during 2005 are as follows:
Tuition and fees $25,000
Books, supplies,
and equipment
1,000
Room and
board
9,000
$35,000
The Form 1042-S you received from
ABC University for 2005 shows $9,000
in box 2 and $1,260 (14% of $9,000) in
box 7.
Note. Box 2 shows only $9,000
because withholding agents (such as
ABC University) are not required to
report section 117 amounts (tuition,
fees, books, supplies, and equipment)
on Form 1042-S.
When completing Form 1040NR-EZ:
• Enter on line 5 the $9,000 shown in
box 2 of Form 1042-S.

• Enter $0 on line 8. Because

section 117 amounts (tuition, fees,
books, supplies, and equipment) were
not included in box 2 of your
Form 1042-S (and are not included on
line 5 of Form 1040NR-EZ), you cannot
exclude any of the section 117 amounts
on line 8.
• Include on line 18 the $1,260 shown
in box 7 of Form 1042-S.
Example 2. The facts are the same
as in Example 1 except that you are a
citizen of a country that has negotiated
a tax treaty with the United States and
you were a resident of that country
immediately before leaving for the
United States to attend ABC University.
Also, assume that, under the terms of
the tax treaty, all of your scholarship
income is exempt from tax because
ABC University is a nonprofit
educational organization.
Note. Many tax treaties do not permit
an exemption from tax on scholarship
or fellowship grant income unless the
income is from sources outside the
United States. If you are a resident of a
treaty country, you must know the
terms of the tax treaty between the
United States and the treaty country to
claim treaty benefits on
Form 1040NR-EZ. See the instructions
for item J, on page 9 for details.
When completing Form 1040NR-EZ:
• Enter $0 on line 5. The $9,000
reported to you in box 2 of
Form 1042-S is reported on line 6 (not
line 5).
• Enter $9,000 on line 6.
• Enter $0 on line 8. Because none of
the $9,000 reported to you in box 2 of
Form 1042-S is included in your
income, you cannot exclude it on line 8.
• Include on line 18 any withholding
shown in box 7 of Form 1042-S.

Line 8 — Scholarship and fellowship
grants excluded. If you received a
scholarship or fellowship grant and

supplies, and equipment), but only to
the extent the amounts are included on
line 5. See the examples in the

Line 9 — Student loan interest
deduction. You may take this
deduction only if all of the following
apply.
1. You paid interest in 2005 on a
qualified student loan (see below).
2. Your filing status is single.
3. Your modified adjusted gross
income (AGI) is less than $65,000. Use
lines 2 through 4 of the worksheet on
page 5 to figure your modified AGI.
Use the worksheet on page 5 to
figure your student loan interest
deduction.
Qualified student loan. This is any
loan you took out to pay the qualified
higher education expenses for:
• Yourself and your spouse.
• Any person who was your dependent
when the loan was taken out.
• Any person you could have claimed
as a dependent on your return when
the loan was taken out if that person
had no gross income or had not filed a
joint return.
• Any person you could have claimed
as a dependent on your return for the
prior year when the loan was taken out

except that you could be claimed as a
dependent on someone else’s return.
The person for whom the expenses
were paid must have been an eligible
student (defined later on this page).
However, a loan is not a qualified
student loan if (a) any of the proceeds
were used for other purposes, or (b) the
loan was from either a related person
or a person who borrowed the
proceeds under a qualified employer
plan or a contract purchased under
such a plan. To find out who is a
related person, see Pub. 970.
Qualified higher education expenses
generally include tuition, fees, room and
board, and related expenses such as
books and supplies. The expenses
must be for education in a degree,
certificate, or similar program at an
eligible educational institution. An
eligible educational institution includes
most colleges, universities, and certain
vocational schools. You must reduce
the expenses by the following benefits.
• Employer-provided educational
assistance benefits that are not
included in Form(s) W-2, box 1.
• Excludable U.S. series EE and I
savings bond interest from Form 8815.
• Nontaxable qualified tuition program
earnings.
• Nontaxable earnings from Coverdell
education savings accounts.
• Any scholarship, educational
assistance allowance, or other payment
(but not gifts, inheritances, etc.)
excluded from income.
For more details on these expenses,
see Pub. 970.
An eligible student is a person who:
• Was enrolled in a degree, certificate,
or other program (including a program
of study abroad that was approved for
credit by the institution at which the
student was enrolled) leading to a
recognized educational credential at an
eligible educational institution, and

• Carried at least half the normal

full-time workload for the course of
study he or she was pursuing.
Line 11 — Itemized deductions. Enter
the total state and local income taxes
you paid or that were withheld from
your salary in 2005. But use the
worksheet on this page to figure the
amount to enter on line 11 if your
adjusted gross income from line 10 is
more than $145,950 if you checked
filing status box 1, or more than
$72,975 if you checked filing status box
2. If, during 2005, you received any
refunds of, or credits for, income tax
paid in earlier years, do not subtract
them from the amount you deduct here.
Instead, see the instructions for Form
1040NR-EZ, line 4, on page 5.
Note. Residents of India who were
students or business apprentices may
be able to take the standard deduction
instead of their itemized deductions.
See Pub. 519 for details.
Line 13 — Exemption deduction.
Generally, you can take an exemption
of $3,200 for yourself. But use the
worksheet on page 7 to figure the
amount, if any, to enter on line 13 if
your adjusted gross income from line
10 is more than $145,950 if you
checked filing status box 1, or more
than $109,475 if you checked filing
status box 2.
Note. Residents of Canada, Mexico,
the Republic of Korea (South Korea),
and Japan (and you elect to have the
old U.S.-Japan income tax treaty apply
in its entirety for 2005), and U.S.
nationals may be able to claim
exemptions for their dependents and, if
married, their spouse. Residents of
India who were students or business
apprentices may also be able to take
exemptions for their spouse and
dependents. However, Form 1040NR

the United States instead of sending
you a check.
Note. If you do not want your refund
directly deposited into your account,
draw a line through the boxes on lines
23b and 23d.
Why Use Direct Deposit?
• You get your refund fast.
• Payment is more secure — there is
no check to get lost.
• More convenient. No trip to the bank
to deposit your check.
• Saves tax dollars. A refund by direct
deposit costs less than a check.
You can check with your

TIP financial institution to make sure
your direct deposit will be
accepted and to get the correct routing
and account numbers. The IRS is not
responsible for a lost refund if you enter
the wrong account information.
Line 23b. The routing number must be
nine digits. The first two digits must be
01 through 12 or 21 through 32.
Otherwise, the direct deposit will be
rejected and a check sent instead. The
routing number of the sample check, on
this page, is 250250025.
Your check may state that it is
payable through a financial institution
different from the one at which you
have your checking account. If so, do
not use the routing number on that
check. Instead, contact your financial
institution for the correct routing number
to enter on line 23b.
Line 23d. The account number can be
up to 17 characters (both numbers and
letters). Include hyphens but omit
spaces and special symbols. Enter the
number from left to right and leave any
unused boxes blank. The account
number of the sample check, on this
page, is 20202086. Do not include the
check number.
Line 24 — Applied to 2006 estimated
tax. Enter on line 24 the amount, if
any, of the overpayment on line 22 you
want applied to your 2006 estimated
tax. This election cannot be changed
later.

Amount You Owe
Line 25 — Amount you owe.
Pay your taxes in full to save

TIP interest and penalties. You do
not have to pay if line 25 is
under $1.
Include any estimated tax penalty
from line 26 in the amount you enter on
line 25.
You can pay by check, money order,
or credit card. Do not include any
estimated tax payment for 2006 in your
check, money order, or amount you
charge. Instead, make the estimated
tax payment separately.
To pay by check or money order.
Make your check or money order
payable to the “United States Treasury”
for the full amount due. Do not send
cash. Do not attach the payment to
your return. Write “2005 Form
1040NR-EZ” and your name, address,
daytime phone number, and SSN or
ITIN on your payment.
To help us process your payment,
enter the amount on the right side of
the check like this: $ XXX.XX. Do not
use dashes or lines (for example, do
not enter
“$ XXX – ” or
xx
“$ XXX100”).
To pay by credit card. You can use
your American Express Card,
Discover Card, MasterCard card, or
Visa card. To pay by credit card, call
toll free or visit the website of either
service provider listed on this page and
follow the instructions. You will be
asked to provide your social security
number (SSN). If you do not have and
are not eligible to get an SSN, use your
IRS issued individual taxpayer
identification number (ITIN) instead.
A convenience fee will be charged
by the service provider based on the
amount you are paying. Fees may vary
between the providers. You will be told
what the fee is during the transaction
and you will have the option to either
continue or cancel the transaction. You
can also find out what the fee will be by

-8-

calling the provider’s toll-free
automated customer service number or
visiting the provider’s website shown
below.
If you pay by credit card before filing
your return, please enter on page 1 of
Form 1040NR-EZ in the upper left
corner the confirmation number you
were given at the end of the transaction
and the amount you were charged (not
including the convenience fee).

You may need to (a) increase

TIP the amount of income tax
withheld from your pay by filing
a new Form W-4, or (b) make estimated
tax payments for 2006. See Income
Tax Withholding and Estimated Tax
Payments for 2006 on page 10.
What if you cannot pay? If you
cannot pay the full amount shown on
line 25 when you file, you can ask to
make monthly installment payments for
the full or a partial amount. You may
have up to 60 months to pay. However,
you will be charged interest and may be
charged a late payment penalty on the
tax not paid by the date due, even if
your request to pay in installments is
granted. You must also pay a fee. To
limit the interest and penalty charges,
pay as much of the tax as possible
when you file. But before requesting an
installment agreement, you should
consider other less costly alternatives,
such as a bank loan or credit card
payment.
To ask for an installment agreement,
use Form 9465. You should receive a
response to your request for
installments within 30 days. But if you
file your return after March 31, it may
take us longer to reply.
Line 26 — Estimated tax penalty. You
may owe this penalty if:
• Line 25 is at least $1,000 and it is
more than 10% of the tax shown on
your return, or
• You did not pay enough estimated
tax by any of the due dates. This is true
even if you are due a refund.
The “tax shown on your return” is the
amount on line 17 minus any tax shown
on Form 4137.
Exception. You will not owe the
penalty if your 2004 tax return was for a
tax year of 12 full months and either of
the following applies.
1. You had no tax shown on your
2004 return and you were a U.S. citizen
or resident for all of 2004, or

2. Line 21 of your 2005 return is at
least as much as the tax shown on your
2004 return. Your estimated tax
payments for 2005 must have been
made on time and for the required
amount.
Figuring the penalty. If the
Exception above does not apply and
you choose to figure the penalty
yourself, see Form 2210 to find out if
you owe the penalty. If you do, you can
use the form to figure the amount.
Enter the penalty on Form
1040NR-EZ, line 26. Add the penalty to
any tax due and enter the total on line
25. If you are due a refund, subtract the
penalty from the overpayment you
show on line 22. Do not file Form 2210
with your return unless Form 2210
indicates that you must do so. Instead,
keep it for your records.
Because Form 2210 is

TIP complicated, you can leave line
26 blank and the IRS will figure
the penalty and send you a bill. We will
not charge you interest on the penalty if
you pay by the date specified on the
bill. If your income varied during the
year, the annualized income installment
method may reduce the amount of your
penalty. But you must file Form 2210
because the IRS cannot figure your
penalty under this method. See the
Instructions for Form 2210 for other
situations in which you may be able to
lower your penalty by filing Form 2210.

Third Party Designee
If you want to allow a friend, family
member, or any other person you
choose to discuss your 2005 tax return
with the IRS, check the “Yes” box in the
“Third Party Designee” area of your
return. Also, enter the designee’s
name, U.S. phone number, and any
five numbers the designee chooses as
his or her personal identification
number (PIN). But if you want to allow
the paid preparer who signed your
return to discuss it with the IRS, just
enter “Preparer” in the space for the
designee’s name. You do not have to
provide the other information
requested.
If you check the “Yes” box, you are
authorizing the IRS to call the designee
to answer any questions that may arise
during the processing of your return.
You are also authorizing the designee
to:
• Give the IRS any information that is
missing from your return,
• Call the IRS for information about the
processing of your return or the status
of your refund or payment(s),
• Receive copies of notices or
transcripts related to your return, upon
request, and
Instructions for Form 1040NR-EZ

• Respond to certain IRS notices about

math errors, offsets, and return
preparation.
You are not authorizing the designee
to receive any refund check, bind you
to anything (including any additional tax
liability), or otherwise represent you
before the IRS. If you want to expand
the designee’s authorization, see
Pub. 947.
The authorization will automatically
end no later than the due date (without
regard to extensions) for filing your
2006 tax return (see When To File on
page 2). If you wish to revoke the
authorization before it ends, see Pub.
947.

Other Information
(Page 2)
Item D
Enter the type of U.S. visa (for
example, F, J, M, etc.) you used to
enter the United States. Also enter your
current nonimmigrant status. For
example, enter your current
nonimmigrant status shown on your
current U.S. Citizenship and
Immigration Services (USCIS) Form
I-94, Arrival-Departure Record. If your
status has changed while in the United
States, enter the date of change. If your
status has not changed, enter “N/A.”

Item E
You are generally required to enter
your date of entry into the United States
that pertains to your current
nonimmigrant status (for example, the
date of arrival shown on your most
recent USCIS Form I-94).
Exception. If you are claiming a tax
treaty benefit that is determined by
reference to more than one date of
arrival, enter the earlier date of arrival.
For example, you are currently claiming
treaty benefits (as a teacher) under
article 20 of the tax treaty between the
United States and the Republic of
Korea (South Korea). You previously
claimed treaty benefits (as a student)
under article 21 of that treaty. Under
article 21, paragraph 4, of that treaty,
the combination of consecutive
exemptions under articles 20 and 21
may not extend beyond 5 tax years
from the date you entered the United
States as a student. If article 21,
paragraph 4, of that treaty applies,
enter in item E the date you entered the
United States as a student.

Item J
If you are a resident of a treaty country
(that is, you qualify as a resident of that
country within the meaning of the tax
treaty between the United States and
that country), you must know the terms
of the tax treaty between the United

-9-

States and the treaty country to
properly complete item J. You may
download the complete text of most
U.S. tax treaties at www.irs.gov.
Technical explanations for many of
those treaties are also available at that
site. Also, see Pub. 901 for a quick
reference guide to the provisions of
U.S. tax treaties.
If you are claiming treaty benefits on
Form 1040NR-EZ, you must provide all
of the information requested in item J.
If you are claiming tax treaty
benefits and you failed to submit
CAUTION adequate documentation to a
withholding agent, you must attach all
information that would have otherwise
been required on the withholding
document (for example, all information
required on Form W-8BEN or
Form 8233).
Residents of Japan. If you were a
resident of Japan and you are electing
to have the old U.S.-Japan income tax
treaty apply in its entirety for 2005,
enter “Japan-Article 30” in item J,

Reminders
Sign and Date Your Return
Form 1040NR-EZ is not considered a
valid return unless you sign it. You can
have an agent in the United States
prepare and sign your return if you
could not do so for one of the following
reasons:
• You were ill.
• You were not in the United States at
any time during the 60 days before the
return was due.
• For other reasons that you explained
in writing to the Internal Revenue
Service Center, Philadelphia, PA
19255, U.S.A., and that the IRS
approved.
A return prepared by an agent must
be accompanied by a power of
attorney. Form 2848 may be used for
this purpose.
Be sure to date your return and
show your occupation in the United
States in the space provided. If you
have someone prepare your return, you
are still responsible for the correctness
of the return.
Child’s return. If your child cannot
sign the return, you can sign the child’s
name in the space provided. Then, add
“By (your signature), parent for minor
child.”
Paid preparer must sign your return.
Generally, anyone you pay to prepare
your return must sign it in the space
provided. The preparer must give you a
copy of the return for your records.
Someone who prepares your return but
does not charge you should not sign
your return.

Address Change
If you move after filing your return,
always notify the IRS in writing of your
new address. To do this, use Form
8822.

Income Tax Withholding and
Estimated Tax Payments for
2006
If the amount you owe or the amount
you overpaid is large, you may be able
to file a new Form W-4 with your
employer to change the amount of
income tax withheld from your 2006
pay. For details on how to complete
Form W-4, see the Instructions for
Form 8233.
In general, you do not have to make
estimated tax payments if you expect
that your 2006 Form 1040NR-EZ will
show a tax refund or a tax balance due
the IRS of less than $1,000. If your total
estimated tax for 2006 is $1,000 or
more, see Form 1040-ES (NR). It has a
worksheet you can use to see if you
have to make estimated tax payments.
However, if you expect to be a resident
of Puerto Rico during all of 2006 and
you must pay estimated tax, use
Form 1040-ES.

How Long Should Records
Be Kept?
Keep a copy of your tax return,
worksheets you used, and records of all
items appearing on it (such as Forms
W-2, 1099, and 1042-S) until the
statute of limitations runs out for that
return. Usually, this is 3 years from the
date the return was due or filed, or 2
years from the date the tax was paid,
whichever is later. You should keep
some records longer. For example,
keep property records (including those
on your home) as long as they are
needed to figure the basis of the
original or replacement property. For
more details, see Pub. 552.

Requesting a Copy of Your
Tax Return
If you need a copy of your tax return,
use Form 4506. There is a $39 fee for
each return requested. If your main
home, principal place of business, or
tax records are located in a
Presidentially declared disaster area,
this fee will be waived. If you want a
free transcript of your tax return or
account, use Form 4506-T or call us at
1-800-829-1040.

Amended Return
File Form 1040X to change a return
you already filed. Also, use
Form 1040X if you filed
Form 1040NR-EZ and you should have
filed a Form 1040, 1040A, or 1040EZ,
or vice versa. Generally, Form 1040X
must be filed within 3 years after the
date the original return was filed, or

within 2 years after the date the tax was
paid, whichever is later. But you may
have more time to file Form 1040X if
you are physically or mentally unable to
manage your financial affairs. See
Pub. 556 for details.

Interest and Penalties
You do not have to figure the amount of
any interest or penalties you may owe.
Because figuring these amounts can be
complicated, we will do it for you if you
want. We will send you a bill for any
amount due.
If you include interest or penalties
(other than the estimated tax penalty)
with your payment, identify and enter
the amount in the bottom margin of
Form 1040NR-EZ, page 1. Do not
include interest or penalties (other than
the estimated tax penalty) in the
amount you owe on line 25.
Interest. We will charge you interest
on taxes not paid by their due date,
even if an extension of time to file is
granted. We will also charge you
interest on penalties imposed for failure
to file, negligence, fraud, substantial
valuation misstatements, substantial
understatements of tax, and reportable
transaction understatements. Interest is
charged on the penalty from the due
date of the return (including
extensions).
Penalty for late filing. If you do not
file your return by the due date
(including extensions), the penalty is
usually 5% of the amount due for each
month or part of a month your return is
late, unless you have a reasonable
explanation. If you do, attach it to your
return. The penalty can be as much as
25% (more in some cases) of the tax
due. If your return is more than 60 days
late, the minimum penalty will be $100
or the amount of any tax you owe,
whichever is smaller.
Penalty for late payment of tax. If
you pay your taxes late, the penalty is
usually 1/2 of 1% of the unpaid amount
for each month or part of a month the
tax is not paid. The penalty can be as
much as 25% of the unpaid amount. It
applies to any unpaid tax on the return.
This penalty is in addition to interest
charges on late payments.
Penalty for frivolous return. In
addition to any other penalties, the law
imposes a penalty of $500 for filing a
frivolous return. A frivolous return is one
that does not contain information
needed to figure the correct tax or
shows a substantially incorrect tax
because you take a frivolous position or
desire to delay or interfere with the tax
laws. This includes altering or striking
out the preprinted language above the
space where you sign.
Other penalties. Other penalties can
be imposed for negligence, substantial
understatement of tax, reportable
transaction understatements, and fraud.

-10-

Criminal penalties may be imposed for
willful failure to file, tax evasion, or
making a false statement. See Pub.
519 for details on some of these
penalties.

Gift To Reduce Debt Held By
the Public
If you wish to make such a gift, make a
check payable to “Bureau of the Public
Debt.” You can send it to: Bureau of the
Public Debt, Department G, P.O. Box
2188, Parkersburg, WV 26106-2188. Or
you can enclose the check with your
income tax return when you file. Do not
add your gift to any tax you may owe.
See Amount You Owe beginning on
page 8 for details on how to pay any
tax you owe.
You may be able to deduct this

TIP gift on your 2006 tax return as a
charitable contribution. But you
must file Form 1040NR to do so.

Estimates of taxpayer burden. The
new estimates of taxpayer burden
shown below were developed by the
IRS to better measure and understand
the burden taxpayers experience when
preparing their taxes. These estimates
of average preparation times and
out-of-pocket expenses are based on a
new survey of taxpayers and a more
accurate method of estimating taxpayer
burden. They focus on taxpayer
characteristics and activities, rather
than forms, and replace the burden
estimates shown in prior year tax form
instructions. The information collected
to figure the new estimates includes
type of taxpayer, preparation method,
filing method, and taxpayer activities.
The new estimates shown here are
grouped by principal combinations of
forms submitted and are not available
separately for each form.
These changes create a one-time
shift in estimates of burden levels.
Comparisons should not be made
between these and earlier published
estimates.
If you have comments concerning
the time and expense estimates below,
you can contact us at the address
shown under We welcome comments
on forms.
These estimates were the latest
available when the forms went to print.
The most current information can be
found on the IRS website at
www.irs.gov.

Example. Mr. Brown is single. His taxable income on line 14 of Form
least
1040NR-EZ is $23,250. First, he finds the $23,250–23,300 income
line. Next, he finds the “Single” column and reads down the column.

23,200
meet is $3,126. This is the tax amount he must enter on line 15 of

Form 926 (Rev. 12-2005)

General Instructions
Purpose of Form
Use Form 926 to report certain transfers of tangible or
intangible property to a foreign corporation required by
section 6038B.

Who Must File
Generally, a U.S. citizen or resident, a domestic
corporation, or a domestic estate or trust must file Form
926 to report transfers of property described in section
6038B(a)(1)(A) to a foreign corporation.

Special Rules
● Transfers by a partnership. If the transferor is a
partnership (domestic or foreign), the domestic partners
of the partnership, not the partnership itself, are required
to comply with section 6038B and file Form 926. Each
domestic partner is treated as a transferor of its
proportionate share of the property.
● Transfers by a husband and wife. A husband and wife
may file Form 926 jointly, but only if they file a joint
income tax return.
● Transfers of cash. A U.S. person that transfers cash to
a foreign corporation must report the transfer on Form
926 if (a) immediately after the transfer the person holds
directly or indirectly at least 10% of the total voting power
or the total value of the foreign corporation or (b) the
amount of cash transferred by the person to the foreign
corporation during the 12-month period ending on the
date of the transfer exceeds $100,000. See Regulations
section 1.6038B-1(b)(3).

Exceptions to Filing
1. For exchanges described in section 354, a U.S.
person does not have to file Form 926 if:
a. The U.S. person exchanges stock of a foreign
corporation in a reorganization described in section
368(a)(1)(E) or
b. The U.S. person exchanges stock of a domestic or
foreign corporation for stock of a foreign corporation
under an asset reorganization described in section
368(a)(1)(C), (D), or (F), that is not treated as an indirect
stock transfer under section 367(a).
2. Generally, a domestic corporation that distributes
stock or securities of a domestic corporation under
section 355 is not required to file Form 926. However, this
exception does not apply if the distribution is of stock or
securities of a foreign controlled corporation to a
distributee shareholder who is not a U.S. citizen or
resident or a domestic corporation.
3. A U.S. person that transfers stock or securities under
section 367(a) does not have to file Form 926 if either a
or b below applies.
a. The U.S. transferor owned less than 5% of both the
total voting power and the total value of the transferee
foreign corporation immediately after the transfer and
either:
● The U.S. transferor qualified for nonrecognition
treatment with respect to the transfer, or
● The U.S. transferor is a tax-exempt entity and the
income was not unrelated business income, or

Page

3

● The transfer was taxable to the U.S. transferor and
such person properly reported the income on its timely
filed return, or
● The transfer is considered to be to a foreign corporation
solely by reason of Regulations section 1.83-6(d)(1) and
the fair market value of the property transferred did not
exceed $100,000.
b. The U.S. transferor owned 5% or more of the total
voting power or the total value of the transferee foreign
corporation immediately after the transfer and either:
● The transferor (or one or more successors) properly
entered into a gain recognition agreement, or
● The U.S. transferor is a tax-exempt entity and the
income was not unrelated business income, or
● The transfer was taxable to the U.S. transferor and
such person properly reported the income on its timely
filed return, or
● The transfer is considered to be to a foreign corporation
solely by reason of Regulations section 1.83-6(d)(1) and
the fair market value of the property transferred did not
exceed $100,000.

When and How To File
Form 926 (and the additional information required under
Regulations section 1.6038B-1(c) and Temporary
Regulations sections 1.6038B-1T(c)(1) through (5) and
1.6038B-1T(d)) must be filed with the U.S. transferor’s
income tax return for the tax year that includes the date
of the transfer.

Other Forms That May Be Required
Persons filing this form may be required to file
Form TD F 90-22.1, Report of Foreign Bank and Financial
Accounts.
A U.S. transferor that is required to enter into a gain
recognition agreement under section 367 to qualify for
nonrecognition treatment must file Form 8838, Consent
To Extend the Time To Assess Tax Under Section
367—Gain Recognition Agreement, or a similar statement,
to extend the statute of limitations with respect to the
gain realized but not recognized on the transfer.

Penalties for Failure To File
If a taxpayer fails to comply with section 6038B, the
penalty equals 10% of the fair market value of the
property at the time of the transfer. The penalty will not
apply if the failure to comply is due to reasonable cause
and not to willful neglect. The penalty is limited to
$100,000 unless the failure to comply was due to
intentional disregard. Moreover, the period of limitations
for assessment of tax upon the transfer of that property is
extended to the date that is 3 years after the date on
which the information required to be reported is provided.

Specific Instructions
Part I—U.S. Transferor Information
Identifying Number
The identifying number of an individual is his or her social
security number (SSN). The identifying number of all

How To Use Form 970
You must complete Parts I, II, and VI. In addition, complete
Parts III, IV, and V, as applicable.

When To File
File Form 970 (or a similar statement) with your tax return for
the first tax year you intend to use the LIFO method.
If you filed your return for the tax year in which you wish to
use the LIFO inventory method described in section 472
without making the election, you can make the election by
filing an amended return within 12 months of the date you
filed your original return. Attach Form 970 (or similar
statement) to the amended return and write “Filed pursuant
to section 301.9100-2” at the top of Form 970. File the
amended return at the same address the original return was
filed.

Change From LIFO Method
Once you adopt the LIFO method, it is irrevocable unless the
IRS allows you to change to another method. To request
approval to change from the LIFO inventory method, you can
use the automatic change request procedures or the
advance consent request procedures. For details about these
two procedures under which an applicant can request a
change in accounting method, see Purpose of Form under
General Instructions in the Instructions for Form 3115,
Application for Change in Accounting Method. For more
information, also see change number 56 in the List of
Automatic Accounting Method Changes in the Instructions
for Form 3115.

LIFO Recapture Amount
A C corporation must include in gross income a LIFO
recapture amount (defined below) if it:
1. Used the LIFO method for its last tax year before the
first tax year for which an election to be taxed as an S
corporation becomes effective, or
2. Transferred LIFO inventory assets to an S corporation in
a nonrecognition transaction in which those assets constitute
transferred basis property. The LIFO recapture amount is the
amount by which the C corporation’s inventory amount of the
inventory assets using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method
exceeds the inventory amount of such assets under the LIFO
method at the close of the C corporation’s last tax year as a
C corporation (or for the year of the transfer, if 2, above,
applies).
For additional information on LIFO recapture, see
Regulations section 1.1363-2 and Rev. Proc. 94-61, 1994-2
C.B. 775. Also see the Instructions for Forms 1120 and
1120-A and the Instructions for Form 1120S.

Specific Instructions
Name and Identification Number
Enter the name of the filer on the first line of page 1 of Form
970. In general, the filer of the Form 970 is the applicant.
However, if Form 970 is filed on behalf of the applicant, enter
the filer’s name and identification number on the first line of

Page

3

Form 970 and enter the applicant’s name and identification
number on the second line. An individual’s identifying
number is his or her social security number. For all others, it
is the entity’s employer identification number.

Part I—Statement of Election under
Section 472
Line 1. Enter the tax year the LIFO inventory method will first
be used and list the inventory items for which you will use
this method. Include only inventory items that are not already
covered under a previous LIFO election. Attach a detailed
analysis of all of your inventories as of the beginning and end
of the first tax year the LIFO method will be used and the
beginning inventory of the preceding tax year. Also, include
the ending inventory reported on your tax return for the
preceding tax year. See Regulations sections 1.472-2 and
1.472-3 for more details on preparing this analysis.

Part III—Specific Goods (Unit) Method
Line 12. See Regulations section 1.472-2 for more
information.

Part IV—Dollar-Value Method
Line 15. Provide sufficient information to justify the pooling
method you are using. Retailers, wholesalers, jobbers, and
distributors are required to pool their goods by major lines,
types, or classes, as authorized under Regulations section
1.472-8(c). Manufacturers or processors can use the natural
business unit pooling method, as authorized by Regulations
section 1.472-8(b)(1), or can establish multiple pools of
similar items in lieu of natural business unit pools, under
Regulations section 1.472-8(b)(3)(i). Multiple pools include
raw materials content pools authorized by Regulations
section 1.472-8(b)(3)(ii).
Eligible small businesses can establish pools under the
simplified dollar-value LIFO method (discussed below).
Manufacturers or processors using the inventory price
index computation (IPIC) method can establish pools based
on the 2-digit commodity codes in Table 6 of the Producer
Price Index (PPI) Detailed Report. A retailer using the IPIC
method can establish pools based on either the general
expenditure categories in Table 3 of the Consumer Price
Index (CPI) Detailed Report or on the 2-digit commodity
codes in Table 6 of the PPI Detailed Report. A wholesaler,
jobber, or distributor using the IPIC method can establish
pools based on the 2-digit commodity codes in Table 6 of
the PPI Detailed Report. The PPI and CPI Detailed Reports
are published monthly by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics
(BLS). Under the IPIC method, you can also combine pools
under special 5% rules. See Regulations sections
1.472-8(b)(4) and 1.472-8(c)(2) for more information.
Describe any other method of pooling used.
Simplified dollar-value LIFO method. If your average
annual gross receipts for the 3 preceding tax years did not
exceed $5 million, you can elect to use the simplified
dollar-value LIFO method. If the taxpayer is a member of a
controlled group, the gross receipts of the group are used to
determine if the taxpayer qualifies. This method requires that
the taxpayer maintain a separate inventory pool for items in
each major category in the applicable Government price
index, and that the taxpayer make adjustments to each
separate pool based on changes from the preceding tax year
in the component of such index for the major category. A
qualified taxpayer does not need IRS consent to elect these
provisions. The election is in effect for the first year the
election is made and for each succeeding year the taxpayer
qualifies as an eligible small business. The election can be
revoked only with IRS consent.

The simplified dollar-value method requires that general
categories of inventory pools be established. The general
categories are based on categories of inventory items
contained in the PPI Detailed Report or the CPI Detailed
Report. See section 474 and Regulations section 1.472-8 for
more details.
Line 16. Generally, you can only use the double-extension
method or the inventory price index computation method.
See Regulations sections 1.472-8(e)(2) and 1.472-8(e)(3) for a
description of these methods. However, if you use the
link-chain, index, or “other” method, attach a detailed
statement explaining how the method is justified under
Regulations section 1.472-8(e)(1). In addition, if you use a
link-chain method, your statement should explain why the
nature of the pool makes the double-extension or index
method impractical or unsuitable.
New Vehicle Alternative LIFO Inventory Method.
Automobile dealers engaged in the trade or business of retail
sales of new automobiles or new light-duty trucks can adopt
or use the New Vehicle Alternative LIFO Inventory Method
under Rev. Proc. 97-36, 1997-2 C.B. 450. A new automobile
dealer who previously elected this method under Rev. Proc.
92-79, 1992-2 C.B. 457 is not required to change its method
of accounting to comply with Rev. Proc. 97-36. For more
information, see Rev. Proc. 97-36. For information on
accounting method changes to this method, see section
10.03 of the Appendix in Rev. Proc. 2002-9.
Used Vehicle Alternative LIFO Inventory Method.
Automobile dealers engaged in the trade or business of retail
sales of used automobiles or used light-duty trucks can
adopt or use the Used Vehicle Alternative LIFO Inventory
Method under Rev. Proc. 2001-23, 2001-10 I.R.B. 784. You
can find Rev. Proc. 2001-23 on page 784 of Internal Revenue
Bulletin 2001-10 at www.irs.gov/pub/irs-irbs/irb01-10.pdf. For

Line 19. Manufacturers, processors, wholesalers, jobbers,
and distributors must select BLS price indexes from Table 6
of the PPI Detailed Report, unless the taxpayer can
demonstrate that selecting BLS price indexes from another
table of the PPI Detailed Report is more appropriate.
Retailers can select BLS price indexes from either Table 3 of
the CPI Detailed Report or from Table 6 (or another more
appropriate table) of the PPI Detailed Report.
Line 20. See Regulations section 1.472-8(e)(3)(iii)(C)(2) for a

Form 972 (Rev. 2-2006)

General Instructions
Purpose of form. Form 972 is used
by a shareholder who agrees to
report a consent dividend as taxable
income in the form of a dividend on
the shareholder’s own tax return
even though the shareholder
receives no actual cash distribution
of the consented amounts. A
dividend is a consent dividend only
if it would have been included in the
shareholder’s gross income if it was
actually paid. If the shareholder
agrees to treat the dividend as
taxable, the corporation may be able
to claim a consent dividend
deduction on its income tax return.
Also, the shareholder increases its
basis in the stock of that corporation
in the amount of the consent
dividend for which the shareholder is
taxed.
Who may file. A shareholder who
agrees to treat the consent dividend
as a taxable dividend must complete
and send Form 972 to the
corporation that will claim the
consent dividend as a deduction.
When and where to file. Send the
completed Form 972 to the
corporation by the due date of the
corporation’s tax return for the tax
year the corporation will claim the
consent dividends as a deduction.
The corporation must attach
Form 973, Corporation Claim for
Deduction for Consent Dividends,
and a copy of each completed
Form 972 to its income tax return.
Note. The shareholder must report
the consent dividend as a taxable
dividend in the same tax year the
corporation will claim the
consentdividend deduction. For
example, the corporation has a fiscal
tax year that begins on July 1, 2005,
and ends on June 30, 2006. In
November 2005, a calendar year

Page

shareholder agrees to a consent
dividend and sends a completed
Form 972 to the corporation. The
corporation claims the consent
dividend deduction on its tax return
for the fiscal year ending on June
30, 2006. The shareholder reports
the consent dividend as a taxable
dividend on its tax return filed for
the calendar year ending on
December 31, 2006.
Identifying number. Individuals
enter their social security number.
All others enter their employer
identification number.
Address. Include the room, suite, or
other unit number after the street
address. If the Post Office does not
deliver mail to the street address
and the shareholder has a P.O. box,
show the box number instead of the
street address.
Signature. Form 972 must be
signed by the shareholder. If the
shareholder is a partnership, one of
the partners must sign. If the
shareholder is an estate or trust, the
fiduciary or officer representing the
estate or trust must sign. For a
corporate shareholder, the president,
vice president, treasurer, assistant
treasurer, chief accounting officer, or
other authorized officer (such as tax
officer) must sign the consent.
The shareholder’s attorney or
agent may sign this consent if he or
she is specifically authorized by a
power of attorney which, if not
previously filed, must accompany
Form 972.

Form 982 (Rev. 1-2006)

General Instructions
Section references are to the Internal Revenue Code unless
otherwise noted.

Purpose of Form
Generally, the amount by which you benefit from the
discharge of indebtedness is included in your gross income.
However, under certain circumstances described in section
108, you may exclude the amount of discharged indebtedness
from your gross income. Taxpayers who exclude discharge of
indebtedness income from gross income generally, must
reduce certain tax attributes either dollar for dollar or 33 cents
per dollar (see below).
Use Part I of Form 982 to indicate why any amount received
from the discharge of indebtedness should be excluded from
gross income.
Use Part II to report your reduction of tax attributes. The
reduction must be made in the following order unless you
check the box on line 1d for qualified real property business
indebtedness or make the election on line 5 to reduce basis of
depreciable property first.
● Any net operating loss (NOL) for the tax year of the
discharge (and any NOL carryover to that year) (dollar for
dollar);
● Any general business credit carryover to or from the tax
year of the discharge (33 cents per dollar);
● Any minimum tax credit as of the beginning of the tax year
immediately after the tax year of the discharge (33 cents per
dollar);
● Any net capital loss for the tax year of the discharge (and
any capital loss carryover to that tax year) (dollar for dollar);
● Basis of property (dollar for dollar);
● Any passive activity loss (dollar for dollar) and credit (33
cents per dollar) carryovers from the tax year of the discharge;
and
● Any foreign tax credit carryover to or from the tax year of
the discharge (33 cents per dollar).
Use Part III to exclude from gross income under section
1081(b) any amounts of income attributable to the transfer of
property described in that section.

Definitions
A title 11 case is a case under title 11 of the United States
Code (relating to bankruptcy), but only if you are under the
jurisdiction of the court in the case and the discharge of
indebtedness is granted by the court or is under a plan
approved by the court.
The term discharge of indebtedness conveys forgiveness of,
or release from, an obligation to repay.
You are insolvent to the extent your liabilities exceed the fair
market value (FMV) of your assets immediately before the
discharge.
For details, get Pub. 908, Bankruptcy Tax Guide.

When to File
File Form 982 with your timely filed federal income tax return
(including extensions) in a year a discharge of indebtedness is
excluded from your income under section 108(a).
The election to reduce the basis of depreciable property
under section 108(b)(5) and the election made on line 1d of
Part I regarding the discharge of qualified real property
business indebtedness may be revoked only with the consent
of the IRS.
If you timely filed your tax return without making the
election, you can still make the election by filing an amended
return within 6 months of the due date of the return (excluding

2

extensions). Write “Filed pursuant to section 301.9100-2” on
the amended return and file it at the same place you filed the
original return.

Specific Instructions
Part I
Lines 1a through 1c and 1e. If you check any of these boxes,
you may elect, by completing line 5, to apply all or a part of
the debt discharge amount to first reduce the basis of
depreciable property (including property you elected on line 3
to treat as depreciable property). Any balance of the debt
discharge amount will then be applied to reduce the tax
attributes in the order listed on lines 6 through 13. For lines 1a,
1b, and 1e only, if after reducing the tax attributes there
remains a balance of the debt discharge, the excess is
permanently excluded from your gross income. You must
attach a statement describing the transactions that resulted in
the reduction in basis and identifying the property for which
you reduced the basis. If you do not make the election on line
5, complete lines 6 through 13 to reduce your attributes. See
section 1017(b)(2) and (c) for limitations of reductions in basis
on line 10.
The exclusion relating to insolvency does not apply to a
discharge that occurs in a title 11 case. Also, the exclusions
relating to qualified farm indebtedness and qualified real
property business indebtedness do not apply to a discharge
that occurs in a title 11 case or to the extent the taxpayer is
insolvent.
Line 1c. Qualified farm indebtedness is the amount of
indebtedness incurred directly in connection with the trade or
business of farming. In addition, 50% or more of your
aggregate gross receipts for the 3 tax years preceding the tax
year in which the discharge of such indebtedness occurs must
be from the trade or business of farming. For more
information, see sections 108(g) and 1017(b)(4).
The discharge must have been made by a qualified person.
Generally, a qualified person is an individual, organization,
etc., who is actively and regularly engaged in the business of
lending money. This person cannot be related to you, be the
person from whom you acquired the property, or be a person

Form 982 (Rev. 1-2006)

A nonbusiness debt is any indebtedness other than
indebtedness incurred in connection with a trade or business.
This allowed relief does not apply to any indebtedness
secured by real property located outside the Hurricane Katrina
disaster area.
An applicable entity means any executive, judicial, or
legislative agency as defined in 31 USC 3701(a)(4), and an
applicable financial entity.
An applicable financial entity means:
1. Any financial institution described in section 581 or 591(a)
and any credit union.
2. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Resolution
Trust Corporation, the National Credit Union
Administration, and any other Federal executive agency
(as defined in section 6050M), and any successor or
subunit of these organizations.
3. Any other corporation which is a direct or indirect
subsidiary of an entity referred to in item 1, above, but
only if, by virtue of being affiliated with that entity, the
other corporation is subject to supervision and
examination by a Federal or State agency (which regulates
entities referred to in item 1, above).
4. Any organization for which a significant portion of their
trade or business is lending money.
This exclusion does not apply to discharges that occur in a
title 11 case, discharges due to insolvency, discharges of
qualified farm indebtedness, or discharges of qualified real
property business indebtedness.
Note. An entity that is required to file Form 1099-C,
Cancellation of Debt, is an applicable entity.
Line 1d. If you check this box, the discharge of qualified
real property business indebtedness is applied to reduce the
basis of depreciable real property on line 4.
Qualified real property business indebtedness is
indebtedness (other than qualified farm indebtedness) that:
(a) is incurred or assumed in connection with real property
used in a trade or business; (b) is secured by that real
property; and (c) with respect to which you have made an
election under this provision. This provision does not apply to
a corporation (other than an S corporation).
Indebtedness incurred or assumed after 1992 is not
qualified real property business indebtedness unless it is
either: (a) debt incurred to refinance qualified real property
business indebtedness incurred or assumed before 1993 (but
only to the extent the amount of such debt does not exceed
the amount of debt being refinanced) or (b) qualified
acquisition indebtedness.
Qualified acquisition indebtedness is (a) debt incurred or
assumed to acquire, construct, reconstruct, or substantially
improve real property that is secured by such debt; and (b)
debt resulting from the refinancing of qualified acquisition
indebtedness, to the extent the amount of such debt does
not exceed the amount of debt being refinanced.
You cannot exclude more than the excess of the
outstanding principal amount of the debt (immediately before
the discharge) over the net FMV (as of that time) of the
property securing the debt, reduced by the outstanding
principal amount of other qualified real property business
indebtedness secured by that property (as of that time). The
amount excluded is further limited to the aggregate adjusted
basis (as of the first day of the next tax year, or if earlier, the
date of disposition) of depreciable real property (determined
after any reductions under sections 108(b) and (g)) you held
immediately before the discharge (other than property
acquired in contemplation of the discharge). Any excess is
included in income.
Line 2. Enter the total amount excluded from your gross
income due to discharge of indebtness under section 108. If
you checked line 1a, 1b, 1c, and/or 1e, this amount will not

3

necessarily equal the total reductions on lines 5 through 13
because the debt discharge amount may exceed the total tax
attributes.
See section 382(l)(5) for a special rule regarding a
reduction of a corporation’s tax attributes after certain
ownership changes.
Line 3. You may elect under section 1017(b)(3)(E) to treat all
real property held primarily for sale to customers in the
ordinary course of a trade or business as if it were
depreciable property. This election does not apply to the
discharge of qualified real property business indebtedness.
To make the election, check the “Yes” box.

Part II
Line 7. If you have a general business credit carryover to or
from the tax year of the discharge, you must reduce that
carryover by 33 cents for each dollar excluded from gross
income. See Form 3800, General Business Credit, for more
details on the general business credit, including rules for
figuring any carryforward or carryback.
Line 10. In the case of a title 11 case or insolvency (except
when an election under section 108(b)(5) is made), the
reduction in basis is limited to the aggregate of the basis of
your property immediately after the discharge over the
aggregate of your liabilities immediately after the discharge.

Part III
Adjustment to basis. Unless it specifically states otherwise,
the corporation, by filing this form, agrees to apply the
general rule for adjusting the basis of property (as described
in Regulations section 1.1082-3(b)).
If the corporation desires to have the basis of its property
adjusted in a manner different from the general rule, it must
attach a request for variation from the general rule. The
request must show the precise method used and the
allocation of amounts.
Consent to the request for variation from the general rule
will be effective only if it is incorporated in a closing
agreement entered into by the corporation and the
Commissioner of Internal Revenue under the rules of section
7121. If no agreement is entered into, then the general rule will
apply in determining the basis of the corporation’s property.
