Schedule B (Form 5713): Specifically Attributable Taxes and Income (Section 999(c)(2))

Schedule B (Form 5713) is one of the two ways to figure the tax benefits lost because of participation in or cooperation with an international boycott. Instead of applying the international boycott factor from Schedule A (Form 5713), it lists the taxes and income specifically attributable to each boycott operation under section 999(c)(2).

The schedule says to complete it only if you are not computing a loss of tax benefits using the international boycott factor on Schedule A, and to attach it to Form 5713. Its column totals carry to Schedule C (Form 5713), which figures the actual tax effect. The instructions on page 2 of the schedule say not to use Schedule B to figure the reduction to foreign trade income qualifying for the extraterritorial income exclusion; Schedule A is used for that.

A separate Schedule B is used for each international boycott. You can fill out the Schedule B PDF free in your browser on this page and download the result without an account.

The name of the country, the principal business activity code and a short description of the activity, on one line per operation, lines a through n.

Column (4): foreign tax credit

Foreign taxes attributable to boycott operations. The instructions say these taxes are not eligible for the foreign tax credit.

How to fill out Schedule B (Form 5713)

  1. 1

    Header

    Enter the name and identifying number and check the box for the country being boycotted. File it for the period covered by your income tax return, reporting only your own taxes and income, not those of other members of a controlled group.

  2. 2

    Columns (1) to (3)

    Enter the country that requires participation in or cooperation with the boycott, which the instructions say is not necessarily where you have operations. Use the activity code list in the Instructions for Form 5713. IC-DISCs enter the major product code in parentheses.

  3. 3

    Column (4)

    Enter foreign taxes paid, accrued or deemed paid that are attributable to the boycott operation, leaving out taxes disallowed under sections 901 through 907, 911 and 6038. The total goes to Schedule C (Form 5713), line 2b.

  4. 4

    Column (5)

    Enter your prorated share of the controlled foreign corporation's income attributable to the boycott operation, with a reasonable amount for allocable deductions. The total goes to Schedule C, line 3b.

  5. 5

    Columns (6) and (7)

    For an IC-DISC, follow the four steps on page 2, which use Form 1120-IC-DISC, Schedule J and a 16/17 multiplier for C corporations. For an FSC, enter income that would have been exempt. Totals go to Schedule C, lines 4b and 5b.

Filing, deadlines and penalties

Attach to Form 5713

The schedule says to attach it to Form 5713. The Instructions for Form 5713 say to attach the original Form 5713 and Schedules A, B and C, if applicable, to your income tax return.

Due date

The instructions say Form 5713 is due when your income tax return is due, including extensions.

Electronic filing

If the original Form 5713 is filed electronically as an attachment to an e-filed income tax return, the instructions say no duplicate Form 5713 is required.

Rebutting the presumption

The schedule says one act of participation or cooperation creates a presumption for all operations in each country that helps carry out the boycott, which can be rebutted by showing an operation is separate from the boycott.

Penalties

The instructions say willful failure to file Form 5713 may result in a $25,000 fine, imprisonment for no more than 1 year, or both.
