SCHEDULE BA-404 Instructions Tax Credits Earned, Applied, Expired, and Carried Forward General Information Schedule BA-404 must be completed and attached to an income tax return if any tax credits are earned, applied, expired or carried forward.

For any credit type being claimed, complete all applicable columns of Schedule BA-404. In most cases, Column D (Amount Carried Forward to Future Years) should equal Column A (Amount Carried Forward from Prior Years) plus Column B (Amount Earned Current Year) minus Column C (Amount Applied Current Year).

About the Individual Income Tax

The IRS and most states collect a personal income tax, which is paid throughout the year via tax withholding or estimated income tax payments.

Most taxpayers are required to file a yearly income tax return in April to both the Internal Revenue Service and their state's revenue department, which will result in either a tax refund of excess withheld income or a tax payment if the withholding does not cover the taxpayer's entire liability. Every taxpayer's situation is different - please consult a CPA or licensed tax preparer to ensure that you are filing the correct tax forms!
