What’s New The new markets credit allocation has been extended for calendar years through 2025. Purpose of Form Use Form 8874 to claim the new markets credit for qualified equity investments made in qualified community development entities (CDEs). This credit is part of the general business credit. Taxpayers that are not partnerships or S corporations, and whose only source of this credit is from those pass-through entities, are not required to complete or file this form. Instead, they can report this credit directly on Form 3800, Part III, line 1i. Definitions Qualified CDE A qualified CDE is a domestic corporation or partnership that meets the following requirements. • Its primary mission is serving, or providing investment capital for, low-income communities or persons. • It maintains accountability to residents of low-income communities through their representation on any governing board or advisory board of the entity. • It is certified as a qualified CDE by the Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFI) Fund of the Department of the Treasury. Qualified CDEs also include specialized small business investment companies and community development financial institutions. See section 45D(c)(2). Qualified Equity Investment A qualified equity investment is an interest in a qualified CDE in the form of stock (other than nonqualified preferred stock) in a corporation or a capital interest in a partnership that meets all of the following requirements. • You acquired the investment solely for cash at its original issue (or from a taxpayer for whom the investment was a qualified equity investment). The cash may be from borrowed funds, including a nonrecourse loan. For details, see Rev. Rul. 2003-20 and Rev. Rul. 2010-17. • Substantially all (at least 85%) of the cash is used to make qualified low-income community investments. The 85% requirement is reduced to 75% for the seventh year of the 7-year credit period. • The investment was designated as a qualified equity investment or a non-real estate qualified equity investment by the CDE on its books and records for purposes of the new markets credit. Generally, a qualified CDE can designate an equity investment as a qualified equity investment or a non-real estate qualified equity investment only if it applied for and received a new markets credit allocation and entered into an allocation agreement with the CDFI Fund before the equity investment was made. Qualified CDEs must provide taxpayers holding a equity investment with a completed Form TIP qualified 8874-A when a qualified equity investment is acquired. Exceptions. An equity investment in an entity that otherwise qualifies as a qualified equity investment or a non-real estate qualified equity investment is eligible to be designated as a qualified equity investment if made prior to an allocation agreement, but only if the following applies. • The equity investment was made on or after the date the CDFI Fund publishes a Notice of Allocation Availability (NOAA) in the Federal Register, and the designation of the equity investment as a qualified equity investment is made for a credit allocation received under an allocation application submitted to the CDFI Fund under that NOAA. If the entity in which the equity investment is made does not receive an allocation under that NOAA, the equity investment will not be eligible to be designated as a qualified equity investment. For details, see Regulations sections 1.45D-1(c)(3)(ii)(B) and 1.45D-1(c)(3)(iii). The maximum amount of equity investments so designated by the qualified CDE cannot exceed the amount of the allocation it received from the CDFI Fund. The names and addresses of qualified CDEs that have received an allocation for each allocation round and the amount of that allocation are listed on the CDFI Fund website at www.cdfifund.gov. Non-Real Estate Qualified Equity Investment If a qualified equity investment is designated as a non-real estate qualified equity investment, then the qualified equity investment may only satisfy the substantially-all requirement if the CDE makes qualified low-income community investments that are directly traceable (including investments made through one or more CDEs) to non-real estate qualified active lowincome community businesses. The proceeds of a non-real estate qualified equity investment cannot be used for transactions involving a qualified active low-income community business that is not a non-real estate qualified active lowincome community business. See Regulations section 1.45D-1(d) for details about qualified low-income community investments. How To Figure the Credit A credit is generally allowed to the holder of the qualified equity investment on each of 7 credit allowance dates. The credit allowance dates are the date you make the initial investment and each of the next 6 anniversary dates. The credit is equal to the qualified equity investment multiplied by 5% (6% for the fourth through seventh years). However, the credit is not allowed for a credit allowance date if the investment is not a qualified equity investment on that date. Recapture of the Credit You may have to increase your tax by a credit recapture amount if at any time within 7 years from the date of the original issuance of the qualified equity investment: • The entity ceases to be a qualified CDE, • Substantially all of the proceeds of the investment cease to be used to make qualified low-income community investments, or • The investment is redeemed or otherwise cashed out by the entity. Exception. If a CDE fails to use substantially all of the proceeds of a qualified equity investment to make qualified low-income community investments, the CDE may avoid recapture of the credit if it corrects the failure within 6 months after the date it becomes aware (or reasonably should have become aware) of the failure. Only one correction is permitted for each qualified equity investment during the 7-year credit period. See section 45D(g) and Regulations section 1.45D-1(e) for details, including how to figure the credit recapture amount. Generally, include the credit recapture amount on the line for recapture taxes on your income tax return for the year in which the recapture event occurs. For example, the credit recapture Form 8874 (Rev. 11-2021) amount on a 2021 Form 1040 is reported on Schedule 2 (Form 1040), line 17a, and the amount on a 2021 Form 1120 is reported on Schedule J, line 9g (Other taxes). You are not subject to recapture of the credit solely because you sell or otherwise dispose of your investment. However, you cannot claim the credit for any credit allowance date after the disposition. Qualified CDEs must provide taxpayers holding a equity investment with a completed Form TIP qualified 8874-B when a recapture event occurs. Basis Reduction You must reduce your basis in your qualified equity investment by the amount of the new markets credits allowed (even if part or all of the credit is not allowed for the current year and is carried forward). However, do not reduce your basis for purposes of figuring the exclusion of gain for: • Qualified small business stock under section 1202, • Certain DC zone assets under section 1400B (as in effect before its repeal on March 23, 2018), or • Certain qualified community assets under section 1400F (as in effect before its repeal on March 23, 2018).

Form 8874 is a Federal Other 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.
