Purpose of Form Complete Form 5452 if the corporation made nondividend distributions to shareholders under section 301, section 1368(c)(3), section 1371(e), or section 1371(f). Who Must File All corporations that have made nondividend distributions to their shareholders must file Form 5452. If the corporation is a member of a consolidated group, the parent corporation must file Form 5452. An S corporation should file this form when distributions are made under section 1371(e), 1371(f), or in the year when distributions fully exhaust accumulated earnings and profits. How and When To File A calendar tax year corporation must attach Form 5452 and the items listed under Supporting Information to its income tax return due for the tax year in which the nondividend distributions were made. A fiscal tax year corporation must attach Form 5452 and the items listed under Supporting Information to its income tax return due for the first fiscal year ending after the calendar year in which the nondividend distributions were made. Nondividend Distributions Nondividend distributions are distributions made to shareholders in the normal course of business. They are considered fully or partially nontaxable as dividends only because the paying corporation’s current and accumulated earnings and profits are less than the distributions. Nondividend distributions do not include tax-free stock dividends or distributions exchanged for stock in liquidations or redemptions. Supporting Information 1. Attach the following information to Form 5452. See Rev. Proc. 75-17, 1975-1 C.B. 677. • A computation of earnings and profits for the tax year (see the example of a filled-in worksheet and a blank worksheet below). If the corporation was required to complete Schedule M-1 (Form 1120) or Schedule M-3 (Form 1120) for the tax year, also attach a schedule of the differences between the earnings and profits computation and the Schedule M-1 or Schedule M-3. • A year-by-year computation of the accumulated earnings and profits, and a schedule of differences since the origin of the company, February 28, 1913, or the last year that information was furnished, whichever is later. • If the corporation was required to complete Schedule L (Form 1120) for the tax year, a tax basis balance sheet. Show the application of the net differences to the balance sheet items as shown on Schedule L. Explain any further adjustments necessary to figure the balance sheet on a tax basis. If the corporation used an accelerated method of depreciation, attach a schedule of the depreciation (and any amortization) figured under the straight line method. Also attach a reconciliation of any difference between that amount and the amount deducted on Form 1120 or other comparable return. See Exhibits B and C in Rev. Proc. 75-17. 2. The parent of a consolidated group must also attach the following information. • A schedule that shows the allocation of the consolidated tax liability and identifies the method used. (Indicate if an intercompany agreement is in effect.) • A schedule that shows the taxable income or loss of each member of the consolidated group. • For each member of a consolidated group that made nondividend distributions, provide the information requested in item 1 above. F. Corporate Distributions Complete Part F, showing the taxable and nontaxable status of distributions reported to shareholders. The percentage of distributions that is taxable and the percentage that is nontaxable are based on the amounts shown on each line in the column labeled “Total Amount Paid.” If noncash distributions were made, attach a statement and show both the tax bases and fair market values.

About the Corporate Income Tax

The IRS and most states require corporations to file an income tax return, with the exact filing requirements depending on the type of company.

Sole proprietorships or disregarded entities like LLCs are filed on Schedule C (or the state equivalent) of the owner's personal income tax return, flow-through entities like S Corporations or Partnerships are generally required to file an informational return equivilent to the IRS Form 1120S or Form 1065, and full corporations must file the equivalent of federal Form 1120 (and, unlike flow-through corporations, are often subject to a corporate tax liability).

Additional forms are available for a wide variety of specific entities and transactions including fiduciaries, nonprofits, and companies involved in other specific types of business.
