Kentucky Pass-Through Entity Income and LLET Return - Instructions
Form PTE Instructions

INSTRUCTIONS PTE Commonwealth of Kentucky Department of Revenue KENTUCKY PASS-THROUGH ENTITY INCOME AND LLET RETURN 2023 PURPOSE OF THE INSTRUCTIONS HOW TO OBTAIN ADDITIONAL FORMS These instructions have been designed for pass-through entities: S-corporations, partnerships, and general partnerships , which are required by law to file a Kentucky income tax and LLET return. Form PTE is complementary to the federal forms 1120S and 1065. Forms and instructions are available at all Kentucky Taxpayer Service Centers (see page 24). They may also be obtained by writing FORMS, Department of Revenue, 501 High Street, Station 23B, Frankfort, KY 40601, or by calling 502–564–3658. Forms can be downloaded from www.revenue.ky.gov. KENTUCKY TAX LAW CHANGES Enacted by the 2023 Regular Session of the Kentucky General Assembly Internal Revenue Code (IRC) Update—House Bill (HB) 360 updated the Internal Revenue Code reference date to December 31, 2022, for taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2023. Treatment of Research and Experimental (R&E) Expenses—The update to the IRC conformity date means that, for taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2023, Kentucky conforms to the IRC Section 174 changes requiring taxpayers to capitalize and amortize R&E expenses rather than deduct them. Treatment of Restaurant Revitalization Grants—For tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2020, but before March 11, 2023, HB 360 provides that Kentucky will treat Restaurant Revitalization Grants in the same manner as the IRS. This means that the grants are not included in gross income and expenses paid for by funds from the grants are fully deductible. Pass–Through Entity Tax and Tax Credit— HB 5 established a new Section of KRS Chapter 141 allowing an authorized person to make an annual election to have the income tax under KRS 141.020 imposed at the entity level. To make the election for a taxable year beginning on or after January 1, 2022, but before January 1, 2023, an authorized person must file Form 740-PTET or Form 740-PTET-ELECT. The election for this taxable year must be made after March 31, 2023, but before August 31, 2024. For taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2023, an authorized person must file Form 740-PTET or Form 740-PTET-ELECT to make the election. The election must be made at any time during the taxable year or after the end of the taxable year. If the election is made after the end of the taxable year, it must be made by: • The 15th day of the fourth month after the close of the taxable year, or • The extended due date if an extension is filed. Once the election has been made for a taxable year, it is irrevocable and binding upon all entity owners. Under the election, the income tax will be calculated at the passthrough entity level. The tax is based upon the ordinary income and separately stated items of income calculated under KRS 141.206. Tax Credit Changes: Pass–Through Entity Tax Credit—HB 5 also established a 100% refundable pass-through entity tax credit. This credit may be claimed on a return filed by an entity owner against the tax imposed under KRS 141.020 and is based on the entity owner’s proportionate share of income from the pass-through entity. Distilled Spirits Tax Credit—HB 5 modified the distilled spirits (DS) tax credit, which provides for a credit against LLET and income tax of up to 100% of the property tax timely paid on distilled spirits inventory. Changes to this tax credit will not impact the 2023 tax year. Decontamination Tax Credit—HB 360 reduced the amount of anticipated qualifying expenditures per property to $6 million from $10 million and capped the total credit to be awarded at $30 million for fiscal years 2022-2023 and 2023-2024. Page 1 of 24 PTE (2023) INSTRUCTIONS Kentucky Entertainment Incentive (KEI) Tax Credit— House Bill 303 made various changes to the KEI tax credit, allocating $25 million for approved continuous production film companies and clarifying that payroll expenditures of loan-out entities can be included in the credit calculation. Wage Assessments—HB 303 modified the wage assessment language in the tax credit provisions that utilize wage assessments to bring it in line with the reduction in the individual income tax rate. Kentucky Revised Statutes—Kentucky Revised Statutes are referred to in these instructions as “KRS” and can be found online at legislature.ky.gov/Law/Statutes/Pages/ default.aspx . Kentucky Administrative Regulations—Kentucky Administrative Regulations are referred to in these instructions as “KAR” and can be found online at legislature. ky.gov/Law/kar/Pages/default.aspx .

The rate charged by the Kentucky Department of Revenue on unpaid taxes is 11 percent  (11%) and when interest is due on a refund, the rate is 7 percent  (7%).

PTE (2023) INSTRUCTIONS Page 3 of 24 Helpful Tips for Electronic Filing and Paying • Mandatory E-File and E-Pay if Gross Receipts ≥ $1,000,000—For tax years beginning on or after October 1, 2021, corporations and pass-through entities are required to file and submit payments electronically if their federal gross receipts are one million dollars ($1,000,000) or greater. This applies to Forms 720, 720U, PTE, 725, and 740NP-WH. • If your return or payment is rejected for an invalid Kentucky Corporation/LLET Account Number or Federal Employer Identification Number (FEIN), please complete Form 20A100, "Declaration of Representative," and contact our Registration Section at 502-5643306 for instructions on how to obtain an account number. • A person, taxpayer, or tax preparer required to electronically file a return, report, or statement may request a waiver as authorized by KRS 131.250(2). Form 8948 (K-C): Request for Waiver of Electronic Filing Requirement must be submitted via e-mail to [email protected] or [email protected] for approval before filing on paper. A copy of the approved form must be attached to the paper-filed return. • Online Payment Options—Visit www.revenue.ky.gov for details on how to electronically pay your tax. To make payments, the FEIN is required along with the Kentucky Corporation/LLET six (6)-digit account number. • Payment by Check—If an electronic payment is not possible, a Form KBR-V is required when submitting a paper check for payment of the tax due on electronically filed and paper-filed returns. • Direct debit is an option for electronically filed forms; however, direct deposit is not. • To determine which forms are supported by your software, please consult with the company that develops your software. Filing Tips and Checkpoints The following list of filing tips is provided for your convenience to help ensure that returns are processed accurately and promptly. To avoid processing problems, please note the following: • Extensions—Extensions are for extending the filing date only; late payment penalties and interest apply to payments made after the original due date. • Account Closure—There are different requirements for the Secretary of State and the Department of Revenue when ceasing operations and closing an account. It is advised that you consult with both agencies when closing a business tax account. • Corrected K-1’s—Adjustments to LLET or distributive share require that corrected Kentucky K-1's are sent to all partners, members, or shareholders for proper compliance by taxpayers. • Account Number/FEIN—Always ensure the correct Kentucky Corporation/LLET account number and FEIN is used on the return being filed. • • Payments—If making payment by check, place payments on the front of the return so that they are clearly visible. Do not leave check stubs attached to checks. Check stubs will delay the machines that sort incoming mail, which causes longer processing times. Schedule A—Do not check the box on Schedule A, Apportionment and Allocation, indicating the use of an alternative allocation and apportionment formula if the corporation has not received written approval from the Department of Revenue. If written approval has been received, a copy of the letter from the Department of Revenue must be attached to the return when filed. • Incorrect Year Forms—Returns submitted on the wrong year form on or before the due date will be accepted as timely filed, but will require the return to be submitted on the correct year form before the return can be processed. • Additional errors that delay processing returns: • Estimated Payments—Make estimated payments on a timely basis to avoid penalty. • EFT Payments—When making EFT payments online, use the taxable year ending, NOT the due date of the payment. • Form KBR-V- Form KBR-V is a payment voucher for e-filed returns and for payments submitted separately for paper filed returns. It is NOT an extension form. To extend a filing date, use Form 720EXT, Extension of Time to File Kentucky Corporation/LLET Return. ¡ Incorrect form submitted ¡ Incorrect tax exemption code ¡ Incomplete information ¡ Missing forms or schedules ¡ Incorrect taxable year end ¡ Failure to include payment of tax due with the return ¡ Omitting Form 720EXT when paying with an extension PTE (2023) INSTRUCTIONS This page has been intentionally left blank. Page 4 of 24 PTE (2023) INSTRUCTIONS Page 5 of 24 IMPORTANT Pass-through entities must create a Kentucky Form 4562, Schedule D and Form 4797 by converting federal forms. Schedule 4562 Depreciation—For property placed in service after September 10, 2001, Kentucky depreciation (§168) is determined per the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) in effect on December 31, 2001. Section 179 Deduction—For property placed in service after September 10, 2001, but prior to January 1, 2020, only the expense deduction ($25,000) allowed under §179 of the IRC in effect on December 31, 2001, exclusive of any amendments made subsequent to that date, is allowed. For property placed in service on or after January 1, 2020, only the expense deduction ($100,000) allowed under §179 of the IRC in effect on December 31, 2003, exclusive of any amendments made subsequent to that date, is allowed, except that the phase-out provisions of §179 of the IRC limiting the qualifying investment in property, shall not apply. For 2020 returns and forward, any pass-through entity that for federal purposes elects in the current taxable year or has elected in past taxable years any of the following will have a different depreciation and IRC §179 expense deduction for Kentucky: • • • MACRS bonus depreciation; IRC §179 expense deduction in excess of $25,000 for property placed in service after September 10, 2001, but prior to January 1, 2020; or IRC §179 expense deduction in excess of $100,000 for property placed in service on or after January 1, 2020. If a pass-through entity has taken MACRS bonus depreciation or IRC §179 expense deduction in excess of the amounts outlined above for any year, federal and Kentucky differences will exist and the differences will continue through the life of the assets. Important: If a pass-through entity has not taken MACRS bonus depreciation or the IRC §179 expense deduction in excess of the amounts outlined above for any taxable year, then no adjustment will be needed for Kentucky income tax purposes. If federal Form 4562 is required to be filed for federal income tax purposes, a copy must be submitted with Form PTE to substantiate that no adjustment is required. Determining and Reporting Depreciation and IRC §179 Deduction Differences— 1. The depreciation from federal Form 1120S, Line 14 or Form 1065, Line 16(a) and depreciation claimed on federal Form 1125-A or elsewhere on Form 1120S or Form 1065 must be included on Form PTE, Part I, Line 3. If federal Form 4562 is required to be filed for federal income tax purposes, a copy must be attached to Form PTE. 2. Convert federal Form 4562 to a Kentucky form by entering Kentucky at the top center of the form above Depreciation and Amortization. Compute Kentucky depreciation (§168) per the IRC in effect on December 31, 2001, by ignoring the lines and instructions regarding the special depreciation allowance. NOTE: For Kentucky purposes, for property placed into service after September 10, 2001, but prior to January 1, 2020, the maximum IRC §179 deduction amount on Line 1 is $25,000 and the threshold cost of IRC §179 property on Line 3 is $200,000. For property placed into service after September 10, 2001, but prior to January 1, 2020, the maximum allowable IRC §179 deduction for Kentucky purposes is reduced dollar–for– dollar by the amount by which the cost of qualifying IRC §179 property placed in service during the year exceeds the threshold. In determining the IRC §179 deduction for Kentucky the income limitation on Line 11 should be determined by using Kentucky net income before the IRC §179 deduction instead of federal taxable income. For Kentucky purposes, for property placed into service on or after January 1, 2020, the maximum IRC §179 deduction amount on Line 1 is $100,000 and the phaseout threshold does not apply for purposes of determining Kentucky depreciation. 3. The pass-through entity must attach the Kentucky Form 4562 to Form PTE, and the amount from Kentucky Form 4562, Line 22 must be included on Form PTE, Part I, Line 13. A Kentucky Form 4562 must be filed for each year, even though a federal Form 4562 may not be required. Schedule 4797 and Schedule D Gains/Losses from Disposition of Assets—Determining and Reporting Differences in Gain or Loss From Disposition of Assets—If during the year the pass-through entity disposes of assets on which it has taken the special depreciation allowance or the additional IRC §179 deduction for federal income tax purposes, the pass-through entity will need to determine and report the difference in the amount of gain or loss on such assets as follows: 1. Convert federal Schedule D (Form 1120S or Form 1065) and other applicable federal forms to Kentucky forms by entering Kentucky at the top center of the form, and compute the Kentucky capital gain or (loss) from the disposal of assets using Kentucky basis. Enter the amount from Kentucky Schedule D, Line 7 on Form PTE, Schedule K, Section A, Line 4(d) or 7. Enter the amount from Kentucky Schedule D, Line 15 on Form PTE, Schedule K, Section A, Line 4(e) or 7. Federal Schedule D (Form 1120S or Form 1065) filed with the federal return and the Kentucky Schedule D must be attached to Form PTE. 2. If the amount reported on federal Form 1120S, Line 4 or Form 1065, Line 6 (from Form 4797, Line 17) is a gain, enter this amount on Form PTE, Part I, Line 14. If the amount reported on federal Form 1120S, Line 4 or 1065, Line 6 (from Form 4797, Line 17) is a loss, enter this amount on Form PTE, Part I, Line 5. Convert federal Form 4797 and other applicable federal forms to Kentucky forms by entering Kentucky at the top center of the form and compute the Kentucky gain or (loss) from the sale of business property listing Kentucky basis. If the amount on Kentucky Form 4797, Line 17 is a gain, enter this amount on Form PTE, Part I, Line 6. If the amount on Kentucky Form 4797, Line 17 is a loss, enter this amount on Form PTE, Part I, Line 15. Federal Form 4797 filed with the federal return and the Kentucky Form 4797 must be attached to Form PTE. PTE (2023) INSTRUCTIONS Tax Treatment of S Corporation and Shareholder(s) A corporation which elects S corporation treatment for federal income tax purposes per §§1361(a) and 1361(b) of the IRC must file as an S corporation for Kentucky income tax purposes.

KRS 141.040(4) In determining tax per KRS Chapter 141, a resident individual that is a shareholder of an S corporation must take into account the shareholder’s total distributive share of the S corporation’s items of income, loss, and deduction. In determining tax per KRS Chapter 141, a nonresident individual that is a shareholder of an S corporation must take into account the shareholder’s total distributive share of the S corporation’s items of income, loss, and deduction multiplied by the apportionment fraction. KRS 141.206(11) and KRS 141.206(7) and (8) Resident and nonresident individual shareholders are entitled to a nonrefundable LLET credit against tax imposed under KRS 141.020 (Kentucky individual income tax). The nonrefundable LLET credit allowed shareholders is the shareholders’ proportionate share of the LLET for the current year after the subtraction of any credits identified in KRS 141.0205 and reduced by $175. The credit allowed shareholders may be applied to the income tax assessed on income from the S corporation. Any remaining credit from the S corporation will be disallowed. KRS 141.0401(3) GENERAL INFORMATION Internal Revenue Code Reference Date—Kentucky’s Internal Revenue Code (IRC) reference date is December 31, 2022, exclusive of any amendments made subsequent to that date, other than amendments that extend provisions in effect on December 31, 2022, that would otherwise terminate, for purposes of computing corporation and individual income tax, except for depreciation differences per KRS 141.0101. KRS 141.010(21) Kentucky Tax Registration Application—Prior to doing business in Kentucky, each pass-through entity should complete a Kentucky Tax Registration Application, Form 10A100, to register for a Kentucky Corporation/LLET Account Number. This account number will be used for filing returns and remitting the corporation income tax per KRS 141.040 and the LLET per KRS 141.0401. Page 6 of 24 • If your business needs to register with both the Secretary of State and the Department of Revenue or only needs to register with the Department of Revenue, use the Register My Business option to register for tax accounts and your Commonwealth Business Identifier (CBI). • If the business is already registered with the Secretary of State and you do not already have access to the business on your Dashboard, choose the Link My Business option. Enter the Commonwealth Business Identifier (CBI), Security Token, and Business Name exactly as it appears on your Kentucky articles of organization/incorporation, your Kentucky Certificate of Authority, or your CBI letter (including all punctuation) and link your business, click Send Invite and follow the instructions sent to your email to register for tax accounts. The Link My Business option will require you to name at least one “One-Stop Portal Business Administrator” (for example, the business owner or representative). Note: The administrator can then delegate access to other individuals—for example, an attorney, accountant, or manager. The administrator also determines the appropriate authority level for delegates to make changes—this could range from filing annual reports with the Secretary of State’s office, changing the business address, or filing and paying taxes. Only the One Stop business administrator(s) can grant, approve, withdraw, or revoke access to the business. 5. Once you have linked your business, your business name and CBI number will appear in the My Businesses box on the dashboard, click on the CBI number, once your business loads, click on the Tax Administration tab to register for tax accounts.

PTE (2023) INSTRUCTIONS Who Must File—LLET and Corporation Income Tax LLET—The limitations imposed and protections provided by the United States Constitution or Pub. L. No. 86–272 do not apply to the limited liability entity tax imposed by KRS 141.0401. A Kentucky Pass-Through Entity Income and LLET Return (Form PTE) must be filed by every pass-through entity: (a) organized under the laws of this state; (b) having its commercial domicile in this state; (c) owning or leasing property in this state; (d) having one or more individuals performing services in this state; (e) maintaining an interest in a pass–through entity doing business in this state; (f) deriving income from or attributable to sources within this state, including deriving income directly or indirectly from a trust doing business in this state, or deriving income directly or indirectly from a single member limited liability company that is doing business in this state and is disregarded as an entity separate from its single member for federal income tax purposes; or (g) directing activities at Kentucky customers for the purpose of selling them goods or services. KRS 141.010(13), KRS 141.0401, and KRS 141.206 Disregarded Entities—A Qualified Sub Chapter S Subsidiary (QSSS) and a single member limited liability company (LLC) are treated in the same manner as they are treated for federal income tax purposes. Therefore, a QSSS or a single member LLC that is disregarded for federal income tax purposes should be included in the return filed by its single member (owner). All disregarded entities included in the return should be listed on the Schedule DE and attached to the return. KRS 141.010(13) and KRS 141.200(10) Pass–through Entities—A pass-through entity doing business in Kentucky solely as a partner or member in a pass-through entity will file Form PTE per KRS 141.010, 141.120, and 141.206. (See Schedule A—Apportionment and Allocation Instructions.) Nonresident Withholding Return (Form 740NP–WH) A partner or member that is a pass-through entity is not subject to withholding. “Pass-through entity” is defined by KRS 141.010(28). KRS 141.206(4) provides that every pass–through entity required to file a return under KRS 141.206(1), except publicly traded partnerships defined in KRS 141.0401(6)(a)18. and (b)14., must withhold Kentucky income tax on the distributive share, whether distributed or undistributed, of each nonresident individual partner, member, or shareholder. Withholding is at the highest rate provided in KRS 141.020. Page 7 of 24 Withholding is not required if: (a) the partner, member, or shareholder is exempt from withholding per KRS 141.206(6)(a); (b) the partner or member is exempt from Kentucky income tax per KRS 141.020; (c) the pass-through entity is a qualified investment partnership per KRS 141.206(14), and the partner, member, or shareholder is an individual; or (d) the partner or member is a pass-through entity. A pass-through entity required to withhold and file a return on Kentucky income tax per KRS 141.206 must make estimated tax payments if required by KRS 141.207. If the pass-through entity is required to make estimated tax payments visit www. revenue.ky.gov for details on how to electronically pay your tax. If unable to pay electronically, use Form 740NP-WH-ES (Kentucky Estimated Tax Voucher). The reporting of a nonresident individual’s net distributive share income and withholding on Form 740NP–WH at the rate of 4.5% (.045) will satisfy the filing requirements of KRS 141.180 for a nonresident individual partner, member, or shareholder whose only Kentucky source income is net distributive share income. The partners’, members’, or shareholders’ distributive share of income must include all items of income or deduction used to compute adjusted gross income on the Kentucky return that are passed through to the partner, member, or shareholder by the pass–through entity, including but not limited to interest, dividends, capital gains or losses, guaranteed payments, and rents (KRS 141.206(8)). The nonresident individual partner, member, or shareholder may file a Kentucky Individual Income Tax Return Nonresident or Part–Year Resident (Form 740–NP) or a Kentucky Fiduciary Income Tax Return (Form 741) to take advantage of the credits and deductions. A pass–through entity must file Form 740NP–WH and complete a Form PTE–WH for each nonresident individual partner, member, or shareholder. Form 740NP–WH with a copy of each Form PTE–WH must be filed and paid with the Department of Revenue by the 15th day of the fourth month following the close of the taxable period. Provide two copies of Form PTE–WH to each partner, member, or shareholder.

Before paying by EFT, the pass-through entity must have a valid six-digit Kentucky Corporation/LLET account number and have registered with the Department of Revenue to pay using EFT. Using an incorrect account number, such as an account number for withholding or sales and use tax, may result in the payment being credited to another taxpayer’s account. When making EFT payments online, use the taxable year ending, NOT the due date of the payment. For more information, contact the Department of Revenue at 800–839–4137 or 502–564–6020. The EFT registration form is available at www.revenue.ky.gov. Page 8 of 24 Accounting Procedures—Kentucky income tax law requires a pass-through entity to report income on the same calendar or fiscal year and to use the same methods of accounting required for federal income tax purposes.

Include a copy of the submitted Form 40A102 with the return when filed. Federal Extension—An S corporation or limited liability pass-through entity granted an extension of time for filing a federal income tax return will be granted the same extension of time for filing a Kentucky Pass-through Entity Income and LLET Return for the same taxable year if a copy of the federal Form 7004 is attached to the Kentucky return when it is filed.

PTE (2023) INSTRUCTIONS Estimated Taxes The Corporation Income/Limited Liability Entity Tax Estimated Tax Voucher, Form 720ES, is used to submit estimated tax payments for corporation income tax and LLET. See Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT). If the pass-through entity is required to make estimated tax payments and needs Form 720ES vouchers, contact the Department of Revenue at 502–564–3658. Estimated Tax Payments—A pass-through entity must make estimated tax installments if its combined tax liability under KRS 141.040 and KRS 141.0401 can reasonably be expected to exceed $5,000. Estimated tax installments are required as follows: If the estimated tax is reasonably expected to exceed $5,000, 25% of the estimated tax must be paid by the 15th day of the 4th month, 15th day of the 6th month, 15th day of the 9th month, and the 15th day of the 12th month of the tax year. Recalculating Estimated Tax—If after the pass-through entity calculates and pays its estimated tax, it finds that its tax liability for the year will be more or less than originally estimated, it may have to recalculate its required installments. If earlier installments were underpaid, the pass-through entity may owe a penalty. An immediate payment should be made to reduce the amount of penalty resulting from the underpayment of earlier installments, whether caused by a change in estimate, failure to make a payment, or a mistake. Penalty—Failure to make estimated installments, pay an estimated installment in full, or pay estimated installments timely will result in an addition to tax that will be considered a penalty under KRS 141.044. The tax interest rate plus 2 percent identified under KRS 131.183 is the underpayment rate used to calculate the penalty. The entity should use Form 2220-K to determine the penalty. KRS 141.044 and KRS 141.990 Amended Return—To correct Form PTE as originally filed, file an amended Form PTE and check the appropriate box on page 1, Item G. If the amended return results in a change in income or a change in the distribution of any income or other information provided to partners or shareholders, an amended Schedule K–1 (Form PTE) must also be filed with the amended Form PTE and a copy given to each partner or shareholder. Check Item E(2) on each Schedule K–1 to indicate that it is an amended Schedule K–1. Internal Revenue Service Audit Adjustments—Partnerships and partners must report final federal adjustments arising from a partnership level audit or an administrative adjustment request and make any required payments no later than ninety (90) days after the final determination date by filing with the department a completed federal adjustments report. Use Form PTE or prior year’s Form 765 for reporting federal audit adjustments, check the Amended Return box, and attach the complete Revenue Agent Report (RAR) and all other information required by the department. An audited partnership must also notify each of its direct partners of their distributive share of the final federal adjustments, including all information required by the department, and it must file an amended withholding return for direct partners as required under KRS 141.206 and pay the additional amount of tax that would have been due had the final federal adjustments been reported properly as required. No later than Page 9 of 24 180 days after the final determination date, each direct partner taxed under KRS 141.020 or KRS 141.040 must file a federal adjustments report showing their distributive share of the adjustments reported to them by the partnership and pay any additional tax due as if final federal adjustments had been properly reported, plus any applicable penalty and interest. The direct and indirect partners of an audited partnership that are tiered partners and all of the partners of those tiered partners that are subject to tax under KRS 141.020 and 141.040 are subject to these reporting and payment requirements. If an audited partnership properly reports final federal adjustments within 90 days of the final determination date, it may make an election to pay, within 180 days of the final determination date, an amount in lieu of taxes, as determined under KRS 141.211(4)(b), owed by its direct and indirect partners. S-Corporations must report and pay income tax due resulting from final federal adjustments arising from any action by the Internal Revenue Service or reported by the taxpayer on a timely filed amended federal income tax return by filing a federal adjustments report with the department for the reviewed year and, if applicable, paying any additional tax owed within 180 days after the final determination date. Use Form PTE or prior year’s Form 720S for reporting federal audit adjustments, check the Amended Return box, and attach the complete Revenue Agent Report (RAR) and all other information required by the department. The department may assess any amount of tax, interest, and penalties due arising from the federal adjustments for a timely filed federal adjustments report or amended Kentucky tax return up to one year following the date the federal adjustments report or amended Kentucky return was filed. If a taxpayer fails to file the federal adjustments report, or the filed federal adjustment report omits final federal adjustments or understates the correct amount of tax owed, the department may assess any amounts of tax, interest, and penalties arising from the federal adjustments up to six years following the final determination date. A taxpayer may request a refund or credit of tax arising from federal adjustments made by the IRS by the later of four years after the date the tax was paid or up to one year from the date the federal adjustments report was required to be reported to the department.

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.
