Also, see section 4942(b) for the circumstances under which a second-tier tax could be imposed. The purpose of this part is to enable the foundation to comply with the rules for applying its qualifying distributions for the year 2024. In applying the qualifying distributions, there are three basic steps. The distributable amount for 2024 is the amount that the foundation must distribute by the end of 2025 as qualifying distributions to avoid the 30% tax on the undistributed portion. A written, certified, and independent appraisal of the fair market value of any real estate, including any improvements, may be determined on a 5-year basis by a qualified person. For example, an office building used to provide offices for employees engaged in managing endowment funds for the foundation isn’t considered an asset used for charitable purposes.

The PTC is a tax credit for certain people who enroll, or whose family member enrolls, in a qualified health plan. The credit provides financial assistance to pay the premiums for the qualified health plan offered through a Marketplace by reducing the amount of tax you owe, giving you a refund, or increasing your refund amount. You must file Form 8962 to compute and take the PTC on your tax return. To file your return electronically, you must sign the return electronically using a personal identification number (PIN) and provide the information described below.

If you know of one of these broad issues, report it to TAS at IRS.gov/SAMS. Be sure to not include any personal taxpayer information. If you owe past-due federal or state debts, all or part of your overpayment will be used to pay the past-due amounts. You will receive a notice if any of your overpayment has been applied to past-due amounts, so you will know how much was applied to your estimated tax. If the taxable income on the return you are amending is $0 and you have made changes on Form 1040-X, line 1, 2, or 4b, enter on line 5, column A, the actual taxable income instead of $0. The amounts in columns A and B can be less than zero.

If you check the box for qualifying surviving spouse, and the qualifying person is a child but not your dependent, enter the child’s name in the space provided under the filing status checkboxes. Do not enter the child’s name anywhere else on the form. In Part II of Form 1040-X, you should state “Changing the filing status” as a reason for amending your Form 1040 or 1040-SR.

The credit may give you a refund even if you don’t owe any tax or didn’t have any tax withheld. Use the Qualified Dividends and Capital Gain Tax Worksheet, later, to figure your tax if you don’t have to use the Schedule D Tax Worksheet and if any of the following applies.
A joint return should show your spouse’s 2024 income before death and your income for all of 2024. Enter “Filing as surviving spouse” in the area where you sign the return. If you filed a joint return for 2023 and you are filing a joint return for 2024 with the same spouse, be sure to enter your names and SSNs in the same order as on your 2023 return. An automatic 6-month extension to file doesn’t extend the time to pay your tax.

Business Credit Limitation – For taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2020, and before January 1, 2023, there is a $5,000,000 limitation on the application of business credits for taxpayers. The total of all business credits including the carryover of any business credit for the taxable year may not reduce the “net tax” by more than $5,000,000. Business credits should be applied against “net tax” before other credits. Business credits disallowed due to the limitation may be carried over. The carryover period for disallowed credits is extended by the number of taxable years the credit was not allowed.
Before you complete line 10, you must complete Part IV if you are allocating policy amounts (see below) with another taxpayer and complete Part V if you want to use the alternative calculation for year of marriage (see below). Both of these situations may apply to you, so be sure to read the rest of the instructions for line 9. If you are a victim of domestic abuse or spousal abandonment, you can file a return as married filing separately and take the PTC for 2024 if all of the following apply to you. However, in order to rely on a Marketplace’s determination that you or a family member was ineligible for Medicaid, CHIP, or a similar program, you must provide accurate information to the Marketplace when you enroll in a qualified health plan. Your employer may have sent you a Form 1095-C, Employer-Provided Health Insurance Offer and Coverage, with information about the coverage offered to you, if any. See Form 1095-C, line 14, and the Instructions for Recipient included with that form, for information about whether you and other members of your tax family were offered coverage.

If a private foundation doesn’t require prepayment and the requester doesn’t prepay, the private foundation must receive consent from the requester if the copying and postage charge exceeds $20. A private foundation can use an agent to provide document copies for the written requests it receives. However, the agent must provide the document copies under the same conditions imposed on the private foundation itself. Also, if an agent fails to provide the documents as required, the private foundation will continue to be subject to penalties.
