What’s New Credit extension. The work opportunity credit is now available for qualified veterans who began work for the organization after 2020 and before 2026. Coronavirus-related employee retention credit. You may have claimed an employee retention credit on an employment tax return such as Form 941, Employer’s QUARTERLY Federal Tax Return. Wages paid after December 31, 2020, and before July 1, 2021, and used to figure this coronavirus-related employee retention credit can’t also be used to figure a credit on Form 5884-C. See Qualified First-Year Wages. Credit for qualified sick and family leave wages. You may claim a credit for qualified sick and family leave wages on an employment tax return such as Form 941. Wages paid after March 31, 2021, and before October 1, 2021, and used to figure that credit, can't also be used to figure a credit on Form 5884-C. See Qualified First-Year Wages. Disaster-related employee retention credit. You may claim a 2020 qualified disaster employee retention credit on Form 5884D, Employee Retention Credit for Certain Tax-Exempt Organizations Affected by Qualified Disasters. Wages used to figure this disaster-related employee retention credit can’t also be used to figure a credit on Form 5884-C. See Qualified FirstYear Wages. Purpose of Form Qualified tax-exempt organizations (defined below) use Form 5884-C to claim the work opportunity credit for qualified first-year wages paid to qualified veterans who begin working for the organization on or after November 22, 2011, and before January 1, 2026. The credit is claimed against the employer portion of social security tax on wages paid to all employees during the 1-year period beginning on the day a qualified veteran begins working for the organization. The credit does not apply to the employer portion of Medicare tax. The qualified veteran must be performing services in activities related to the purpose or function constituting the basis of the organization’s exemption under section 501. The organization files Form 5884-C after it files its employment tax return for the employment tax period for which it is claiming the credit. The organization files Form 5884-C for each employment tax period during which qualified first-year wages are paid to a qualified veteran. Each Form 5884-C figures the cumulative credit the organization is entitled to for all periods during which qualified first-year wages are paid to a qualified veteran and reduces the amount claimed for the period by any amounts claimed on previously filed Forms 5884-C. Generally, the organization should only file one Form 5884-C per employment tax period. Form 5884-C is filed separately from any other returns. The credit claimed on Form 5884-C will not affect the tax liability reported on the organization’s employment tax returns. Accordingly, the organization should not reduce its required deposits in anticipation of any credit. Instead, the IRS will refund the amount shown on line 11 of Form 5884-C, plus any interest that applies, unless the IRS corrects Form 5884-C during processing or the organization owes other taxes, penalties, or interest. Page 2 The amount properly claimed on Form 5884-C is as a credit on the first day of the TIP treated organization’s employment tax return period. However, because Form 5884-C will generally not be processed with the organization’s employment tax return, an organization that reduces its required deposits in anticipation of a Form 5884-C credit may receive a system-generated notice reflecting a balance due and associated penalties and interest, if applicable. The balance due, including any related penalties and interest, resulting from the reduction in deposits to reflect the Form 5884-C credit will be abated when the credit is applied. Such abatement will generally occur without any action from the organization. Qualified Tax-Exempt Organization A qualified tax-exempt organization is an organization described in section 501(c) and exempt from tax under section 501(a). An agency or instrumentality of the federal government, or of a state, local, or Indian tribal government, is not a qualified taxexempt organization unless it is an organization described in section 501(c) and exempt from tax under section 501(a). Qualified Veteran A qualified veteran is a veteran certified (as described below) as any of the following. • A member of a family receiving assistance under the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) (food stamps) for at least a 3-month period during the 15-month period ending on the hiring date. • Unemployed for a period or periods totaling at least 4 weeks (whether or not consecutive) but less than 6 months in the 1-year period ending on the hiring date. • Unemployed for a period or periods totaling at least 6 months (whether or not consecutive) in the 1-year period ending on the hiring date. • Entitled to compensation for a service-connected disability and hired not more than 1 year after being discharged or released from active duty in the U.S. Armed Forces. • Entitled to compensation for a service-connected disability and unemployed for a period or periods totaling at least 6 months (whether or not consecutive) in the 1-year period ending on the hiring date. To be considered a veteran, the individual must: • Have served on active duty (not including training) in the U.S. Armed Forces for more than 180 days or have been discharged or released from active duty for a service-connected disability, and • Not have a period of active duty (not including training) of more than 90 days that ended during the 60-day period ending on the hiring date. Certification Requirement The organization must ask for and be issued a certification for each qualified veteran from the state workforce agency (SWA) (formerly known as the state employment security agency (SESA)) of the state in which the organization is located. The certification proves that the employee is a qualified veteran. The organization must either: • Receive the certification by the day the individual begins work; or • Complete Form 8850, Pre-Screening Notice and Certification Request for the Work Opportunity Credit, on or before the day it offers the individual a job and receive the certification before it claims the credit. Form 5884-C (Rev. 3-2021) Page 3 If the organization completes Form 8850, it must be signed by an officer of the organization and the individual and submitted to the SWA of the state in which the organization is located (where the employee works) generally by the 28th calendar day after the date the individual begins work. If the credit expires and is retroactively extended, the may allow the organization more time to submit TIP IRS Form 8850 for an individual who began work while the credit was expired or for a reasonable time after it was extended. If more time is allowed, we will provide details at www.irs.gov/Form8850 and in revised Instructions for Form 8850. If the SWA denies the request, it will provide a written explanation of the reason for denial. If the certification is revoked because it was based on false information provided by the employee, wages paid after the date the organization receives the notice of revocation don’t qualify for the credit. When To File Qualified First-Year Wages Where To File Qualified first-year wages are wages subject to social security tax paid to a qualified veteran during the 1-year period beginning on the day the qualified veteran begins working for the organization. Qualified first-year wages do not include any wages that exceed the following amounts. • $6,000 for a qualified veteran certified as being either (a) a member of a family receiving assistance under the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) (food stamps) for at least a 3-month period during the 15-month period ending on the hiring date, or (b) unemployed for a period or periods totaling at least 4 weeks (whether or not consecutive) but less than 6 months in the 1-year period ending on the hiring date. • $12,000 for a qualified veteran certified as being entitled to compensation for a service-connected disability and hired not more than 1 year after being discharged or released from active duty in the U.S. Armed Forces. • $14,000 for a qualified veteran certified as being unemployed for a period or periods totaling at least 6 months (whether or not consecutive) in the 1-year period ending on the hiring date. • $24,000 for a qualified veteran certified as being entitled to compensation for a service-connected disability and unemployed for a period or periods totaling at least 6 months (whether or not consecutive) in the 1-year period ending on the hiring date. Qualified first-year wages also do not include any wages paid to a qualified veteran: Send Form 5884-C to the address provided at the bottom of the form. • For services in activities not related to the purpose or function constituting the basis of the organization’s exemption under section 501; • During any period for which the organization received payment for the qualified veteran from a federally funded on-the-job training program; • After December 31, 2020, and before July 1, 2021, if you use the same wages to claim the coronavirus-related employee retention credit on an employment tax return, such as Form 941; • After March 31, 2021, and before October 1, 2021, if you use the same wages to claim the credit for qualified sick and family leave wages on an employment tax return such as Form 941; and • Generally after December 27, 2019, and before April 17, 2021, if you use the same wages to claim the 2020 qualified disaster employee retention credit on Form 5884-D. Information about any future disaster credits that reduce qualified first-year wages may be posted under “Recent Developments” at IRS.gov/Form5884C. The amount of qualified wages for any qualified veteran is zero if the qualified veteran: • Did not work for the organization for at least 120 hours, or • Was a rehire (worked for the organization previously). File Form 5884-C after the organization has filed its employment tax return for the employment tax period for which it is claiming the credit. File Form 5884-C for each employment tax period during which the organization paid qualified first-year wages to a qualified veteran. Generally, an organization should not file more than one Form 5884-C per employment tax period. Note: The IRS cannot process Form 5884-C until the original employment tax return filed for the same tax period has been processed. Please allow 8–12 weeks for the processing of Form 5884-C. Form 5884-C must be filed within 2 years from the date the tax reported on the employment tax return was paid, or 3 years from the date the employment CAUTION tax return was filed, whichever is later. ! ▲ More Information For more information about this credit, see the following. • Section 3111(e). • Notice 2012-13, 2012-9 I.R.B. 421, available at www.irs.gov/irb/2012-09_IRB#NOT-2012-13.

Line 3 As discussed earlier under Purpose of Form, the organization claims this credit against the employer’s portion of social security tax on wages paid to all employees during the 1-year period beginning on the day a qualified veteran begins working for the organization. The organization files Form 5884-C for each employment tax period during which it claims a credit for qualified first-year wages paid to a qualified veteran. Each Form 5884-C figures the cumulative credit the organization is entitled to for all periods and reduces the amount claimed for the period by any amounts claimed on previously filed Forms 5884-C. Check the box(es) on line 3 to indicate the year (and quarter, if applicable) for the employment tax period for which the organization is claiming the credit. Line 4 Enter on line 4a and multiply by the percentage shown on line 4b the total qualified first-year wages (defined earlier) the organization paid during the employment tax period indicated on line 3 to qualified veterans who began working for the organization on or after November 22, 2011, and before January 1, 2026, who worked for the organization at least 400 hours (as of the date Form 5884-C is filed).

Line 7 Enter on line 7 the total amount of credits claimed from line 11 of any previously filed Forms 5884-C minus the total amount of credits repaid from line 12. Each Form 5884-C figures the cumulative credit the organization is entitled to for all periods. The amount of the cumulative credit reported on line 6 is reduced by the previously claimed credits and increased by any previously repaid amounts to determine the credit claimed for the employment tax period for which the Form 5884-C is filed. If the credit refunded for a prior period was limited by employer’s social security tax liability for that TIP the period, any credit not refunded will be carried forward and included in the cumulative credit figured on any subsequent Form 5884-C. The portion of the credit not refunded is not included in the amount on line 7. Line 9 Enter on line 9 total taxable social security wages and tips reported on the employment tax return indicated on line 2 for the employment tax period indicated on line 3. For example, taxable social security wages and tips included on Form 941 for wages paid in the 4th quarter of 2020 were reported on the following lines. • Form 941, line 5a, column 1 (taxable social security wages). • Form 941, line 5b, column 1 (taxable social security tips).

Form 5884-C is a Federal Corporate Income Tax form. States often have dozens of even hundreds of various tax credits, which, unlike deductions, provide a dollar-for-dollar reduction of tax liability. Some common tax credits apply to many taxpayers, while others only apply to extremely specific situations. In most cases, you will have to provide evidence to show that you are eligible for the tax credit, and calculate the amount of the credit to which you are entitled.

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.
