4.10.10.2 (11-30-2017)

Multiple Standard Explanations

  1. There are occasions when multiple standard explanations are needed to explain the specific reason for an adjustment, as well as additional information that must be communicated to the taxpayer. For example, when the earned income tax credit (EITC) is disallowed or reduced, the taxpayer must file Form 8862 to claim the credit in the future. In this situation, standard explanations are available to explain the specific reason for the EITC adjustment, as well as provide information related to the need to file Form 8862 to claim the EITC in the future.

    Example:

    The taxpayers did not verify they had a qualifying child for EITC purposes. The examiner determined the error was not due to reckless or intentional disregard of the rules and regulations. To adequately explain the adjustment and provide the taxpayers with information regarding the need to file Form 8862 the next time they claim the credit, standard explanation numbers 7603, No qualifying child, and 7647, Earned Income Tax Credit - Disallowed No Ban - Recertification Required, should be used in the preparation of the report. Standard explanation number 7603 provides the specific reason why the credit was disallowed, and number 7647 provides additional information related to the recertification.

    Example:

    The taxpayers did not verify their foster child lived in their home for 12 months for EITC purposes. The examiner determined the error was due to reckless or intentional disregard of the rules and regulations. To adequately explain the adjustment, standard explanation numbers 7602, Household not maintained, and 7648, Earned income credit - 2-year ban asserted, should be used in the preparation of the report. Standard explanation number 7602 provides the specific reason why the credit was disallowed, and number 7648 provides additional information related to the 2-year ban and recertification.

  2. A maximum of three standard explanations can be included in RGS. If more than three standard explanations are needed for an adjustment, they should be included on a Form 886-A, Explanation of Items, which is attached to the examination report.

4.10.10.3 (08-28-2006)

Index of Standard Explanations

  1. Exhibit 4.10.10-1 consists of a list of common categories of standard explanations by category number and subject. This index is consistent with the index on RGS.

  2. Exhibit 4.10.10-2 contains the Master List of Standard Explanations currently used in Examination Report Writing. The system currently in use is RGS. All reports should be prepared using this system.

4.10.10.4 (04-04-2008)

Standard Explanations

Number Standard Explanation Title Standard Explanation Text
1101 Commissions, fees, tips Compensation received for services, including fees, commissions, tips, gratuities and similar items, is includible in income.
1102 Business or profession - computation Taxable income received from your business or profession has been adjusted as shown in the enclosed computation.
1103 Gross receipts Business gross receipts in the amount shown are includible in income.
1104 FICA tax paid by employer The FICA (social security and Medicare) taxes paid on your behalf and not withheld from your wages are additional income to you.
1105 Gross receipts not included Business gross receipts were not included in the amount shown.
1106 Form W-2 We have adjusted your gross wages to agree with the amounts shown on Form(s) W-2.
1107 Supplemental compensation/ bonuses Supplemental compensation and bonuses are includible in gross income.
1108 Constructive receipt Income is constructively received when it is credited to your account, or unconditionally set apart for you, or otherwise made available so that you could draw upon it at any time. Based on an analysis of your records and accounts, income is adjusted to reflect the income constructively received.
1109 Non-employee compensation We have adjusted your income to include amounts shown in box 7 on Form 1099-MISC.
1110 Trade or business Income from your trade or business should be reported on Schedule C and is subject to self-employment tax. You reported this income on your return as wages or other income. We have adjusted your return accordingly and included the income from your trade or business on the proper schedule.
1111 Deferred compensation Nonqualified deferred compensation is includible in income when actually or constructively received (provided that such compensation was not required to be included in income in an earlier year under IRC 409A).
1112 Taxable income It is determined that the following taxable income items were not reported on the filed tax return. An adjustment is made to report these items as income on your tax return. Accordingly, your taxable income is increased in the amounts and for the tax years shown.
1113 Sale of real estate Income derived by an individual from the sale of real estate originally purchased as unimproved land and subsequently improved and developed primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of trade or business constitutes income from a trade or business. This income should be included in computing net earnings from self employment.
1114 Unsubstantiated SE income - Schedule C gross receipts Since the record keeping requirements under IRC 6001 have not been met, and you have not complied with our request for substantiation of your Schedule C gross receipts, we are disallowing the self-employment income claimed on your return. The earned income credit and self-employment taxes have been adjusted accordingly.
1115 Additional documentation - Schedule C income and expenses; fillable We have received the information you sent us on ________________. We are unable to change our determination since we need additional documentation to verify your Schedule C income and expenses. Please provide the necessary items needed to substantiate your business income and/or losses. Acceptable verification would be:
Cancelled checks (or other documents that identify payee, amount, and proof of payment/electronic funds transferred), record keeping books, computer printouts, ledgers, log books, receipts, bill (paid), etc.

The enclosed report reflects the proposed disallowance of the self-employment income claimed and a reduction of the self-employment taxes paid. We have also proposed to disallow the following deductions and/or credits:
_______ Filing Status (changed to either single or married filing separately)
_______ Exemption(s)
_______ Earned Income Credit
_______ Child Care Credit
_______ Schedule C Expenses

If you have any questions, you may call the number on the enclosed letter.
1116 Schedule C partial disallowance We have adjusted your Schedule C gross receipts based on the substantiation you provided for our review. Unsubstantiated income has been removed and in turn will affect your earned income credit as well as your self-employment tax.
1117 Schedule C gross income and SE tax removed Because we determined that the activity described on your Schedule C does not meet the guidelines of carrying on a trade or business within the meaning of IRC 162, we moved your gross income to line 21 of the Form 1040 (other income) and adjusted your self-employment tax to zero.
1118 Wages moved from Schedule C to Line 7 Only statutory employee wages may be reported on Schedule C and offset by expenses. Since your employer did not indicate on Form W-2 that you are a statutory employee, we disallowed your Schedule C income and expenses and have adjusted your return to include these wages on Line 7 of Form 1040. If you claimed the standard deduction, you may benefit from itemizing your deductions and reporting your employee business expenses on Line 21 of Schedule A.
1119 Wages moved - expenses allowed on Schedule A Only statutory employee wages may be reported on Schedule C and offset by expenses. Since your employer did not indicate on Form W-2 that you are a statutory employee, we disallowed your Schedule C income and expenses and have adjusted your return to include these wages on Line 7 of Form 1040 and these expenses on Line 21 of Schedule A as employee business expenses, which are subject to the 2 percent adjusted gross income limitation.
1120 Statutory employee-separate Schedule C The income earned as a statutory employee should not be combined with other gross receipts on Schedule C. If you earned both gross receipts and income as a statutory employee in the same trade or business, you must file separate Schedules C, and the business expenses should be reported on the appropriate Schedule C.
1121 Tip income The enclosed reports reflect changes to your tax liabilities based on tip income you received but did not report to your employer or on your income tax return.
- Form 4549, Income Tax Examination Changes, shows the additional income tax and any applicable penalties due to the addition of the tip income.
- Form 2504, Agreement to Assessment and Collection of Additional Tax and Acceptance of Overassessment, reflects your share of the FICA (social security and Medicare) tax due on the additional tip income, plus penalties.
- Form 4137, Social Security and Medicare Tax on Unreported Tip Income, provides details of the computation of the FICA taxes and the corresponding penalty.
- Lead Sheet (Unreported Tip Income) shows how we determined the amount of tip income you received.

If you agree with the adjustments shown on the enclosed reports, please sign the Form 4549 and Form 2504 and return them to us in the enclosed envelope.

If you have information about your tip income that is different from the information we received from your employer(s), please send it to us. We will review it and notify you as to our decision.
1122 Schedule C net income disregarded We have determined that the activity described in your Schedule C (1) was not engaged in with sufficient regularity and continuity; or (2) was engaged in for the primary purpose of generating tax benefits through the use of the refundable earned income credit. Therefore, we have disregarded your Schedule C and the business net profit reflected thereon for all federal tax purposes.
1123 Schedule C activity/gross income and SE tax removed Because we determined that the activity described on your Schedule C does not meet the guidelines of carrying on a trade or business within the meaning of IRC 162, we removed your gross income and adjusted your self-employment tax to zero.
1124 Non-employee compensation - tax year 2020 and forward We have adjusted your income to include amounts shown in box 1 on Form 1099-NEC.
1201 Net Worth - computation In the absence of adequate records, your taxable income for the taxable year(s) shown above has been computed on the basis of increase in net worth, with adjustments for nontaxable items of income and non-deductible expenditures, if any. Accordingly, your taxable income is increased in the amount(s) shown above.
1202 Bank Deposits - computation In the absence of adequate records, your taxable income for the taxable year(s) shown above has been computed by reference to bank deposits and cash payments, plus personal and other nondeductible expenditures if any. Thus, it is determined you had additional gross business income for the taxable year(s). Accordingly, your taxable income is increased in the amount(s) shown above.
1203 Source & application - computation In the absence of adequate records, your taxable income for the taxable year(s) shown above has been computed by reference to the source and application of funds method. Thus, it is determined you had additional gross business income for the taxable year(s). Accordingly your taxable income is increased in the amount(s) shown above.
1204 Reasonable estimates from known sources of income We have computed your unreported taxable income using reasonable estimates based on known sources of income and deductible expenses.
1205 Additional income from source indicated (examiner must specify) From records and information available, it has been determined that you received additional income in the amount shown from the sources indicated.

1404 Forgiven debts The amount of your debt which was cancelled or forgiven is includible in income.
1405 Constructive dividends The corporate funds or benefits you received are taxable as constructive dividends in the amounts shown in the accompanying computation.

1411 Bartering You must treat a credit for goods and services offered for exchange in a barter operation as income when you receive that credit.
1412 Goodwill - sale of business The gain on the sale of your business is increased due to an adjustment to the valuation of the goodwill. See the attached computation.
1413 Repossession - non-recourse financed equipment Repossession of non-recourse-financed equipment results in ordinary income where gain, equal to non-recourse liability over adjusted basis is less than depreciation taken.
1414 IRC 482 income allocated In accordance with IRC 482 of the Internal Revenue Code, to clearly reflect the income of the entities we have allocated income and deductions between the two entities. Your income has been increased as shown in the attached computation.
1415 Original issue discount Retirement of bonds issued with "original issue discount" generally results in ordinary income in the following situations:

  1. retirement of a short-term OID instrument (but only to the extent of accrued OID);

  2. retirement of an OID instrument issued by a natural person before June 9, 1997;

  3. retirement of an OID instrument issued before July 2, 1982, by an issuer that is not (i) a corporation or (ii) a government or political subdivision thereof;

  4. retirement of an OID instrument that was issued with the intention to call before maturity; or

  5. retirement of OID instrument issued prior to May 28, 1969 (but only to the extent of accrued OID).
1416 Interest income - periodic interest on principal not due to death Interest on principal left on deposit with an insurance company that can be withdrawn by you is taxable to you when credited to your account.
1417 State municipal securities Any profit from the sale of state or municipal securities is includible in taxable income.
1418 Installment election interest in excess of $1000 Up to $1,000 of interest on installment payments of life insurance proceeds (paid due to a death occurring before October 23, 1986) may be excluded each year from the beneficiary spouse's income. The additional interest must be included in the beneficiary spouse's income.
1419 Foreclosure - mortgage exceeds basis We included the amount you realized on foreclosure of a nonrecourse mortgage to the extent that the mortgage indebtedness exceeded the adjusted basis.
1420 Foreclosure - fair market value of property exceeds basis We included the amount you realized on foreclosure of a recourse mortgage to the extent that the fair market value of the foreclosed property exceeded the adjusted basis.
1421 Like kind exchange To qualify as a nontaxable exchange under IRC 1031, the transaction must be an exchange of qualified property solely for property of like kind rather than a sale of property. Because you did not meet the requirements of a nontaxable exchange, we adjusted your taxable income as shown.
1422 Nonqualifying prop. exchanged not used in trade/business Since the property you exchanged was not held for use in a trade or business or for investment, the transaction does not meet the requirements of a like-kind exchange; the gain you realized is includible in income.
1423 Nonqualified prop. in nontaxable transactions yields boot Because you received nonqualified property (Boot) in addition to qualified property, the gain you realized on the exchange is includible in income, to the extent of the fair market value of the Boot.
1424 Assumed liab. less than those relieved of boot Since you were relieved of more liabilities than you assumed in the exchange, the excess is treated as Boot and includible in income.
1425 Assignment of income-does not avoid recognition Assigning the property that generates income to another will not avoid the recognition of income by the taxpayer making the assignment since the income was earned before the transfer. The income will be taxed to the person who earns it.

1427 Unemployment compensation The total amount of unemployment compensation received is fully taxable and must be included in gross income.

1434 Fringe benefits (excluded) You have included certain fringe benefits on your return. These items are not subject to Federal income tax so we have removed them.
1435 Educational assistance payments In general, a maximum of $5,250 of employer provided educational assistance payments may be excluded from an employee's gross income.

3110 Cash method-not in income Since you used the cash method (reporting income only when received), and had not included uncollectible interest, rents, fees, salaries and wages in income, you may not claim them as bad debts.
3111 Gift-not a debt The deduction claimed is not allowable as a bad debt since it was in the nature of a gift.
3112 Collection effort not demonstrated Since you have not shown that all reasonable steps were taken to collect the debt, no deduction is allowed.
3113 Debtor/Creditor relationship not established Since you did not establish that the amount shown was a bad debt arising from a true debtor-creditor relationship based upon a valid and legally enforceable obligation, we have disallowed it.
3114 Nonbusiness short-term capital loss Your nonbusiness bad debt can be deducted only as a short-term capital loss. Capital losses are deductible only to the extent of capital gains plus $3,000 (or $1,500 for married filing separate). We have adjusted your loss accordingly. You may carry any unused loss forward to future years.
3115 Partially worthless-not a bad debt Because your nonbusiness bad debt was not wholly worthless in the current year, it cannot be deducted. No deduction is available for partial worthlessness of nonbusiness bad debts.
3116 Valid enforceable obligation or fixed sum Because there was no valid enforceable obligation to pay a fixed or determinable sum of money, your bad debt deduction is not allowed.
3117 Corp capital contribution No bad debt deduction is allowable on the guarantee of the corporate obligation (business or nonbusiness) if, at the time the obligation was entered into, the payment was a capital contribution.
3118 Loss limitation Both principal and interest amounts of the debt on which you are the guarantor are subject to loss limitation on business or nonbusiness bad debts. The interest on the debt cannot be deducted as interest.
3119 Business bad debt Your individual business bad debt deduction is limited to payments under guarantees arising out of your business.
3120 Guarantor Your bad debt deduction is denied because you, as guarantor, failed to show that you had received reasonable consideration for the guarantee agreement.
3121 Income never included A cash-basis taxpayer may only claim a bad debt deduction for accounts receivable and notes receivable related to goods and services that are unpaid and uncollectible if such items have been included in gross income on the return for which the deduction is claimed, or for a previous year. Since it has not been established that your claimed deduction was previously included in income, your taxable income is increased by the amount of that deduction.
3122 Addition to reserve for bad debts after 1986 All taxpayers, other than financial institutions, certain farm credit institutions and finance companies, must use the specific charge-off method for bad debt expenses. Your bad debt deduction has been adjusted to the amount of the debts that became uncollectible this year.

3202 Form 1099-S Income from Form 1099-S is includible in income as shown.
3203 Adjusted net capital gain/adjust AMT Since we adjusted your net capital gain (or loss) the alternative minimum tax is recomputed as shown.

3205 Holding period 6 months or less Since you held this property for one year or less, the gain (or loss) is a short-term capital gain (or loss).
3206 Additional loss allowed You are allowed an additional deduction for the capital loss shown.
3207 Maximum rate on capital gain After May 6, 1997 the maximum rate of tax on your net capital gain may be 10 percent, 20 percent, 25 percent, 28 percent or a combination of those rates. Thus, your taxes have been adjusted accordingly. After May 6, 2003, and beginning before January 1, 2009, the 20-percent rate is reduced to 15-percent, the 10-percent rate to 5-percent (0 percent for taxable years beginning after 2007).
3208 Holding period 12 months or more If you sold or exchanged property that is a capital asset held for more than one year, the gain or loss is considered a long term capital gain (or loss).
3209 Inventory items Because the property was held by you primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of your trade or business, it does not qualify as IRC 1231 property, and the gain you realized is includible as ordinary income.
3210 Proceeds not reinvested Since the proceeds from involuntary conversion were not reinvested in replacement property similar or related in service or use, the gain you realized is includible in income.
3211 Proceeds exceed cost Since the conversion proceeds exceed the cost of replacement property acquired during a prescribed replacement period, the gain you realized shall be recognized and is includible in income.
3212 Ordinary income The excess of capital losses over capital gains is deductible from ordinary income. Since this deduction is limited to the lesser of (1) the excess or (2) $3,000, your deduction has been adjusted as shown.
3213 Excess over $3,000 carry forward The portion of your excess capital losses over capital gains which exceeded $3,000 is carried over to the succeeding year(s) and is computed as shown.
3214 Sale of personal residence/reporting You must report the sale of your personal residence, even though you purchased a qualifying replacement residence or incurred a loss.
3215 Adjusted basis/computation We adjusted the basis of your new residence.
3216 Taxable gain on sale of residence We have adjusted your return to include the taxable gain on the sale of your personal residence. The gain is taxable because your replacement cost is less than the one you sold.
3217 Gain on sale of residence/exclusion after May 6, 1997 After May 6, 1997, the gain on the sale of your main home can be excluded up to a maximum of $500,000 (filing joint), and $250,000 (filing single), if certain rules are met. Therefore, your gain is adjusted as shown.
3218 Gain on sale of residence Because you or your spouse have not owned and used the principal residence for period aggregating 2 years or more during the 5-year period ending on the date of the sale or exchange, the entire gain from the sale or exchange of the principal residence is taxable as computed.
3219 Involuntary conversion/related party After June 8, 1997, you cannot postpone the gains on the involuntary conversion because you acquired replacement property or stock from a related party and your total realized gain for the tax year on the involuntarily converted properties on which there is a realized gain of more than $100,000. Therefore, the gain is includible in income.
3220 Involuntary conversions realized gain You cannot offset the gain with any losses when determining whether the total gain is more than $100,000. Thus the realized gain is recomputed as shown.
3221 Sale of small business stock/rollover capital gain After August 5, 1997 you can choose to rollover the capital gain from the sale of qualified small business stock held for more than 6 months.
3222 Qualified business stock/rollover capital gain You did not meet the requirement to choose to rollover the capital gain from the sale of qualified business stock. Therefore, we have recomputed your capital gain as shown.
3223 Termination of right or obligation After September 4, 1997, the cancellation, lapse, expiration or other termination of a right or obligation with respect to property that is a capital asset is treated as a sale. Thus, any gain or loss is treated as a capital gain or loss.
3224 Real estate investment trust After August 5, 1997, a real estate investment trust can keep its long term capital gains and pay the tax on them in the same way as a mutual fund.

Since your loss is not a casualty, it is not deductible.
3303 Deductible only in year occurred Your casualty loss is deductible only in the taxable year in which the casualty occurred. Since your casualty loss did not occur in the taxable year you claimed the deduction, and did not occur in a Federally declared disaster area, we have disallowed it.

3306 Deterioration not a casualty Normal progressive deterioration is not deductible as a casualty loss.
3307 Indirect related expenses not a part of casualty Expenses indirectly connected with a casualty, such as the cost of care for personal injuries, fuel, moving, or rental of temporary quarters, are not deductible as casualty losses.

3313 Additional deduction allowed You are allowed an additional deduction for the casualty or theft loss shown.
3314 Itemized deduction only/did not itemize Since a casualty or theft loss is normally deductible as an itemized deduction, and you claimed the standard deduction, we have disallowed the casualty loss.

Since you chose not to file a claim for reimbursement with your insurance company, we have disallowed your loss to the extent that reimbursement could have been received.
3319 Loss on personal residence The amount shown on your return as a casualty loss resulting from damage to your personal residence is not allowed because it has not been established that any deductible loss within the meaning of IRC 165 was sustained during the taxable year.
3320 Theft loss decreased FMV less than cost The deduction shown on your return as a theft loss is decreased because the fair market value of the items stolen was less than their cost, and under IRC 165 a theft is limited to the lesser of cost or fair market value at the time of theft.
3321 Deduction decreased-loss limitation The deduction shown on your return as a casualty loss is decreased because the fair market value of the items destroyed was less than their cost, and under IRC 165 a casualty loss is limited to the lesser of cost or decrease in fair market value.
3322 AGI changed For each casualty and theft loss, you must reduce that loss by $100 (for taxable years beginning on or before December 31, 2008), $500 (for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2008, and before January 1, 2010), or $100 (for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2009) and by ten (10) percent of your adjusted gross income. Since your adjusted gross income was changed, we adjusted your casualty or theft loss accordingly.
3323 Buyer resistance loss You cannot claim a casualty loss based on a decrease in value due to buyer resistance.
3324 Personal casualty and theft loss (tax years 2018 and later) Since you did not establish that the personal casualty or theft loss was attributable to a federally declared disaster, we have disallowed your deduction.

beginning in 2003 and thereafter----- 100 percent
3402 Limited to net income from self-employment adjusted Your deduction for self-employed health insurance is limited to your net earnings from self-employment from the business for which your medical plan is established. Because we changed your self-employment income and/or expenses and those changes affected your net income from self-employment from the business, we have also adjusted your insurance deduction.

3819 Capital expenditure The cost of an asset having an expected life of more than one year is a capital expenditure that must be depreciated over the applicable recovery period. Although the claimed expense has been disallowed, depreciation has been allowed as shown.
3820 Depreciation not taken in prior years The depreciation you failed to deduct in prior years is not deductible in the current or any later tax year.
3821 Component method For buildings placed in service before 1981, you may not depreciate a used building using the component method of depreciation unless the cost is properly allocated to the various building components based on their value and useful lives. Since you have not verified the cost breakdown satisfactorily, we have recomputed your depreciation deduction.

For a building placed in service after 1980, you may not depreciate the building using the component method of depreciation. Since you have utilized the component method, we have recomputed your depreciation deduction.
3822 Covenant not to compete For contracts entered into before August 11, 1993, the portions of the cost of a business attributable to goodwill and going concern were nondepreciable. Because the cost of goodwill and covenant not to compete are grouped and not separable, it is not possible to ascertain the portion of the cost allocable to the covenant not to compete. No depreciation is allowable.
3823 IRC 1250 property Since you sold IRC 1250 property on which you claimed accelerated depreciation, part of the gain as shown on the attached computation is ordinary income.
3824 IRC 1245 property Gain on the disposition of depreciable personal property used in a trade or business (IRC 1245 property) is taxable as ordinary income to the extent of the depreciation deductions allowed or allowable.
3825 Amortization expense change to allowable method We have changed your amortization expense to an allowable method. See attached computation.
3826 No ACRS before 1981/after 1986 Property placed in service before 1981 and after 1986 does not qualify for accelerated cost recovery system (ACRS) depreciation.
3827 IRC 179 election/disallowed as a current expense Since you did not make a special election under IRC 179, we have disallowed the deduction as a current expense.
3828 IRC 179 expense/property does not qualify We have disallowed the deduction you claimed for a IRC 179 expense because the property does not qualify as IRC 179 property.
3829 Property no longer used in business Since the property on which you elected the IRC 179 deduction ceased to be used predominately in a trade or business at any time before the end of the property's recovery period, the difference between the IRC 179 deduction and what would have been allowable under modified ACRS is includible in income in the taxable year in which the property is not used predominantly in a trade or business.
3830 Modified ACRS before 1987 The Modified ACRS Depreciation does not apply to property placed in service before 1987 unless you have elected these rules for property placed in service after July 31, 1986 and before 1987. Your property does not qualify for the Modified ACRS Depreciation.
3831 Modified ACRS for automobile Because you used Modified ACRS for your business automobile, the depreciation and tax credit limits of IRC 280F apply. Your deduction is further limited to your business use percentage therefore, we have adjusted your depreciation as shown in the attached computation.
3832 Auto use 50 percent or less Since you did not use the listed property more than 50 percent for business or work, your deduction under IRC 179 and/or a portion of your depreciation are disallowed.
3833 Auto use less than 50 percent Since you did not use the listed property more than 50 percent for business or work, your deduction under IRC 179 and/or your depreciation are disallowed.
3834 IRC 197 intangibles IRC 197 intangibles acquired after August 10, 1993 (or after July 25, 1991, if a valid retroactive election has been made under Treas. Reg. 1.197-1T) are ratably amortizable by the purchaser over a 15 year period. Most acquired intangibles, such as goodwill and covenant not to compete, are IRC 197 intangibles. Accordingly we have corrected your amortization deduction as shown in the attached computation.
3901 Maintain/improve skills Since you have not established that the educational expenses were either required by your employer or the law or incurred to maintain or improve skills required in your employment, they are not deductible under Treas. Reg. 1.162-5.
3902 Minimum education requirements Since these expenses were incurred to meet the minimum educational requirements for qualification in your employment, they are not deductible under Treas. Reg. 1.162-5.
3903 Qualify for new trade or business Since the courses you took are part of a program of study that may lead to qualifying you for a new trade or business, the expenses are not deductible under Treas. Reg. 1.162-5.

3906 Dependent education expense Educational expenses incurred for a dependent are not deductible under Treas. Reg. 1.162-5.
3907 Personal reasons Since these educational expenses were incurred for personal reasons, they are not deductible.

3909 Establish payment as ordinary and necessary To be allowed a deduction for educational expense, you must furnish information to establish (a) payment was actually made during the taxable year, and (b) the expense was ordinary and necessary to your employment. Since your deduction does not reflect these circumstances, we have disallowed the amount shown.
3910 Additional deduction allowed You are allowed an additional deduction for employee educational expenses.
3911 Must claim as itemized deduction Since these educational expenses are deductible only as itemized deductions, and you did not itemize, no deduction is allowed under Treas. Reg. 1.162-5.
3912 Not paid during tax year Since the educational expenses were not paid during the taxable year, they are not deductible.
3913 Computation We have adjusted your educational expense deduction as shown in the accompanying computation.
3914 Auto expense We figured your allowable deduction for car expense mileage for educational purposes at the standard rate.
3915 Work to school travel Since your attendance in school is not temporary, your deductible transportation expense relating to education is computed using only the expense between your place of work and the school. If you go home before going to school, you may deduct the expense of going from home to school only to the extent it does not exceed the expense from work to school. Since the deduction you claimed was not computed correctly, we have adjusted your expense.
3916 Amount verified We have adjusted your educational expense deduction to the amount verified as paid.
3917 Home to school - nonwork day Since your attendance in school is not temporary you may not deduct the cost of transportation between your home and school on a nonworking day. We have adjusted your deduction to disallow this expense.
3918 Travel as education Educational expenses in the form of travel are not deductible when the travel itself serves as the education. We have disallowed this deduction.
3919 Adjusted gross income changed Only the educational expenses exceeding 2 percent of your adjusted gross income are deductible. Since other adjustments made in this report effect your adjusted gross income, we have also adjusted your educational expense.
3920 Expenses exceeding AGI limitation You may only deduct educational expenses that exceed 2 percent of your adjusted gross income. Since you did not verify expenses exceeding this limitation, your deduction has been disallowed.
3921 Tuition and fees Since you did not establish the amount shown was
(a) Tuition and fees, and
(b) Paid,
the amount shown is disallowed. Educational institutions that receive payments for qualified tuition and fees are required to file Form 1098-T, Tuition Statement, with the IRS and furnish a copy to the student.
3922 Student loan interest Since you did not establish the amount shown was
(a) Student loan interest, and
(b) Paid,
the amount shown is disallowed. Financial, governmental, and educational institutions that receive qualified student loan interest payments during a calendar year are required to file Form 1098-E, Student Loan Interest Statement, with the IRS, and furnish a copy to the borrower.

4002 Not required by employer Since expenses you incurred were not required by your employer, they are not deductible.
4003 Business benefit not established Since you did not establish that a business benefit could reasonably be expected as the result of incurring these entertainment expenses, they are not deductible.
4004 Records and receipts not adequate Since you did not maintain adequate records and receipts to document your deduction, we have adjusted your expense(s), as shown in the attached computation.
4006 Payment not established as ordinary or necessary (verbose) To be allowed a deduction for entertainment expenses, you must furnish information to establish that
(a) payment was actually made during the taxable year, and
(b) the expense was ordinary and necessary to your business or profession.

(a) amount of each expenditure,
(b) date the entertainment took place,

4013 Not outside salesman/must itemize An outside salesperson is a full-time employee who does his/her selling principally away from the employer's place of business. Since you do not qualify as an outside salesperson, the expenses claimed are not deductible in determining your adjusted gross income.

4015 Expense limit 50 percent deductible The amount of otherwise allowable entertainment expenses must be reduced by 50 percent. We have adjusted your deduction to allow only the 50 percent which is deductible.
4016 Expense limit 50 percent deductible/tax year beginning after Dec. 1993 For tax years beginning after December 1993, the amount of the otherwise allowable entertainment expense must be reduced by 50 percent. We have adjusted your deduction to allow only the 50 percent which is deductible.
4017 Receipts or records inadequate/business expense over $75 After September 30, 1995, receipts are required for all business expenses over $75. Since you did not maintain adequate records or receipts to substantiate your deduction, we have adjusted your expense, as shown in the attached computation.

4102 Form 8332 not attached to return/disallow exemption The dependency exemption(s) claimed for your child (or children) who did not live with you because of divorce or separation, has (have) been disallowed since Form(s) 8332, Release/Revocation of Release of Claim to Exemption for Child by Custodial Parent, or a similar statement was (were) not attached to your return.
4103 Former spouse-cannot claim Since you were divorced or legally separated at the end of the tax year, you cannot claim an exemption for your former or estranged spouse.
4104 Spouse had income and taxpayer filed separate return Since your spouse had gross income, you cannot claim an exemption for your spouse on your separate return.
4105 Spouse dependent of another taxpayer and taxpayer filed separate return Since your spouse was another taxpayer's dependent, you cannot claim an exemption for your spouse on your separate return.
4106 Deceased spouse/claim only year of death You cannot claim an exemption for your deceased spouse after the year of death.
4107 Former spouse had custody/disallowed Since your former spouse had custody of the child for a greater portion of the tax year than you did and you did not attach Form 8332, Release/Revocation of Release of Claim to Exemption for Child by Custodial Parent, or similar statement to your return, we disallowed the dependency exemption.
4108 Support test not met/computation Since you did not provide over 50 percent of this person's total support, we disallowed the dependency exemption. See the attached computation.
4109 Support test not met/disallowed Since you did not provide more than 50 percent of this person's total support, we disallowed the dependency exemption.
4110 Gross income equal to exemption amount Since this person had gross income equal to or greater than the exemption amount, we disallowed the dependency exemption.
4111 Joint return filed by claimed dependent Since this person filed a joint return, we disallowed the dependency exemption.
4112 Member of household test not met Since this person was not a member of your household for the entire tax year, we disallowed the dependency exemption.

4114 Citizen or resident test not met Since the person is neither a U.S. citizen or national, nor a resident of the United States, Canada, or Mexico, we have disallowed the dependency exemption.
4115 Additional exemption allowed You are allowed an additional exemption for the person(s) listed.

4117 Support test not met and no Form 2120 submitted We have disallowed this exemption because you did not contribute more than one-half of the person's total support, nor did you establish that you were entitled to the exemption under a multiple support agreement.
4118 FRV of claimed dependent's lodging added to support Since the person you claimed as a dependent lived in his/her own home, the fair rental value of his/her lodging must be added to other items of support to arrive at the cost of total support. We have disallowed the exemption because the support you provided is not more than one-half of total support.
4119 TP lived rent-free in dependents/FRV reduces support below 1/2 Since you lived rent-free in the home of the person you claimed as a dependent, the amount you spent for his/her support must be reduced by the fair rental value of your lodging. We have disallowed the exemption because the remaining amount, is not more than one-half of the total cost of support.
4120 Capital expenses-support/nonsupport Capital expenditures, such as the purchase of a car, furniture, and household appliances purchased for personal and family reasons that benefit all members of the household are not considered items of support for tax purposes. Since your remaining contributions are not sufficient to constitute more than one-half of the person's total cost of support, the exemption claimed has been disallowed.
4121 Household expenses must be allocated support test not met Your contribution to the upkeep of a household cannot be considered as entirely for any one person when all persons living in the household benefited from it. We must assume that all persons equally shared the amount you furnished because you did not establish otherwise. Because you have not established that you furnished more than one-half of the cost of the total support of the person you claimed as a dependent, we have disallowed the dependency exemption.
4122 Household expenses offset personal expenses Contributions by a member of a household apply first to the payment of his/her own share of the expenses, and then any excess which cannot be traced to a certain member is considered to apply pro rata to the expenses of all who did not provide their own full support. Under this method of distribution, you did not establish that you furnished more than one-half of the cost of the total support for the person you claimed. We have, therefore, disallowed the exemption.
4123 Student-must meet support test to claim as dependent Even though your child is a student, you must still meet the support test. Any amount spent from your child's own funds, including his/her wages, on such things as clothing, education, medical and dental care, recreation, transportation, entertainment, and similar items, must be added to the total cost of support in determining whether you furnished more than one-half of the support. Since you did not establish that you furnished more than one-half of the cost of total support for your child, we have disallowed the dependency exemption.
4124 Decree specifies can claim but did not provide $600 Although your pre-1985 decree of divorce or separate maintenance specifies you may claim the exemption for your child, we have disallowed it because you provided less than $600 for his/her support.
4125 Dependent of another TP after 1986 You may not claim a personal exemption for any year that you can be claimed as a dependent by another taxpayer.
4126 No personal exemption specified levels after 1987 The benefit of the personal exemption is phased out for individuals whose adjusted gross income is above specified levels. See the enclosed computation.
4127 Total cost of support not established-cannot determine 1/2 To determine whether you contributed more than one-half of the cost of the total support of the person you claimed as a dependents support, it is necessary to know the cost of total support. Since you have been unable to show the cost of total support, we disallowed the exemption.
4128 Tax-free income is support to the extent it is used for support - disallowed as support test not met Payments such as social security benefits, pensions, and State welfare benefit payments received by a person claimed as a dependent are part of that person's support unless it is shown otherwise. These payments are support to the extent that the payments are used for support. Since these payments represent more than one-half of the claimed person's total support, we disallowed the exemption.
4129 Spouse exemption disallowed-no info on income or dependency The exemption claimed for your spouse is disallowed, since you did not establish that your spouse had no gross income and was not the dependent of another taxpayer.
4130 U.S./Japan treaty rule/see computation Under the provision of the United States/Japan Income Tax Treaty, the deduction has been disallowed because it is not permitted under the current treaty.
4131 Spouse filed separate return Since your spouse filed a separate return, you may not claim an exemption for your spouse.
4132 Disallow exemption/claimed by another taxpayer We are disallowing the exemption claimed since another taxpayer has also claimed this dependent on his/her tax return.
4133 Partial exemption disallowed The partial exemption shown on your return has been disallowed because the Internal Revenue Code does not provide for partial exemptions.
4134 Identify exemptions disallowed We disallowed your claim to an exemption for the following persons:
4135 Custody of dependent-prior to 1/1/2005 The parent having custody for the greater part of the calendar year is entitled to the dependency exemption unless he or she expressly waives the right to claim the exemption. This applies to cases of legal separation, divorce, separation by written agreement, and to cases where the parents live apart during the last 6 months of the calendar year. Since you did not have custody, and the custodial parent did not waive the right to claim the exemption, we disallowed the dependency exemption.
4136 Custody of dependent waived-prior to 1/1/2005 The parent having custody is entitled to the dependency exemption unless he or she waives the right to claim the exemption. Since you signed a waiver, we disallowed the exemption.
4137 Student over 23 after 1988 You may not claim a dependency exemption for a student who will reach age 24 in the calendar year, unless that student's gross income is less than the exemption amount.
4138 Exemptions limited if income more than dollar amount of FS The amount you can claim for your exemptions is reduced if your adjusted gross income is more than the dollar limit for your filing status. Your adjusted income is more than that limit, so we reduced the amount you can claim. We have attached a Personal Exemption Worksheet to show you how we figured the change.
4139 Limitation on exemptions does not apply-AGI less than FS limit The amount you can claim for your exemptions is reduced if your adjusted gross income is more than the dollar limit for your filing status. Since your adjusted gross income is less than the limit, this reduction does not apply to you, and you can claim more for your exemptions than you did. We increased the amount of your exemptions and attached a Personal Exemption Worksheet to show you how we figured this change.
4140 Not established entitled to exemption/disallowed Since you did not establish that you are entitled to the exemption(s), it/they is/are being disallowed.
4141 Verification of parent entitled to exemption - prior to 1/1/2005 Please provide a complete copy of your divorce decree, decree of separate maintenance, written separation agreement or any other written agreement relating to custody or the dependency exemption, including any relevant modifications If you are the noncustodial parent, please provide a copy of the release of claim to exemption signed by the custodial parent.

4143 Noncustodial parent - taxable years beginning after 12/31/04 We have disallowed the dependency exemption for one or more of your children. Generally, a noncustodial parent is not allowed to claim an exemption for a child unless the custodial parent releases a claim to exemption on Form 8332, Release/Revocation of Release of Claim to Exemption for Child by Custodial Parent, or a substantially similar statement, and the noncustodial parent attaches a copy of the release to his or her return. Since you did not provide a copy of the release, we disallowed the exemption.
4144 Custodial parent released exemption - taxable years beginning after 12/31/04 We have disallowed the dependency exemption for one or more of your children, because you signed a Form 8332, Release/Revocation of Release of Claim to Exemption for Child by Custodial Parent, or substantially similar statement releasing a claim to exemption.

Any amount spent from your child's own funds, including his/her wages, on such things as clothing, education, medical and dental care, recreation, transportation, entertainment, and similar items, must be added to the total cost of support in determining whether you furnished more than one-half of the support. Since you did not establish that you furnished more than one-half of the cost of total support for your child, we have disallowed the dependency exemption.
4147 Student over 23 after 1988 and before 1/1/2005 You may not claim a dependency exemption for a student who will reach age 24 in the calendar year, unless that student's gross income is less than the exemption amount.

4205 Unreimbursed business gifts Unreimbursed business gifts are deductible only as miscellaneous itemized deductions.

4401 Not legally liable/disallowed The interest expense you claimed is not deductible since you are not legally liable for the debt.
4402 Avg. unpaid balance method/computation If an interest charge on your installment contract cannot be established, the deduction is the lesser of (a) 6 percent of the average unpaid balance of your contract, or (b) the aggregate carrying charges which are properly attributable to such taxable year.

4410 Points paid to refinance a home mortgage/not deductible in full Points paid to refinance your home mortgage are not deductible in full in the year paid but must be deducted ratably over the period of the loan because such points are for repaying the taxpayer's existing indebtedness and are not paid in connection with the purchase or improvement of the home.

Office-in-the-home expense is subject to the 2 percent adjusted gross income limitation, so it is not deductible.
4901 Excess loss denied Passive losses and credits can be offset by passive income (or in the case of credits, to the tax attributable to net passive income). Passive losses are also allowed to the extent they qualify for the special allowance for rental real estate activities. They cannot be used to offset portfolio income. Since your losses from such activities were in excess of the passive income and the special allowance, the excess loss has been denied. You may carry forward the amount of the loss you were unable to claim.
4902 Passive activity defined Passive losses can only be offset against passive income. A passive activity is one involving the conduct of a trade or business in which you do not materially participate, or any rental activity unless the requirements of IRC 469(c)(7) are met in tax years beginning after December 31, 1993.
4903 Rental activity/IRC 469(c)(7) Rental activities of any kind, regardless of material participation, are considered passive activities unless the requirements of IRC 469(c)(7) are met in tax years beginning after December 31, 1993.

The mortgage interest expense that you incurred on your qualified residence is to be deducted on Schedule A as an itemized deduction, and not on Schedule E.

The amount disallowed because of this may be carried forward to reduce passive activity income generated in future years.
5011 Non passive income limit - $25,000 Active participants in rental activities are allowed to offset up to $25,000 ($12,500 if married filing separate) of nonpassive income with the net losses from all rental activities, subject to phase-out. Because your net loss from these activities was under the limitation, your expenses have been allowed as verified.
5012 Net operating losses You did not have enough nonpassive income (within the limitation) to absorb the net losses from the rental activities in which you actively participated. Your otherwise allowable losses are therefore treated as losses which are not from a passive activity, and are treated as net operating losses which will be carried back and forward in accordance with the rules applicable to net operating losses. See the attached computation.

The $25,000 exception is phased out at the rate of $.50 for every dollar of modified AGI over $100,000. Based on the calculation of your modified adjusted gross income, you are subject to the phase-out and the amount of your passive activity loss has been limited as shown on this report.

Since you received the payment before you reached age 59 1/2 and it was not received on account of death of the IRA owner, disability, certain medical expenses, certain higher education expenses, a first time home purchase, an IRS levy, certain annuity payments, or as a qualified reservist distribution, your tax is also increased by 10 percent of the premature distribution.

The 10 percent tax is applicable because the distribution was made before you reached age 59 1/2 and it was not on account of death or the IRA owner, disability, certain medical expenses, certain higher education expenses, a first time home purchase, an IRS levy, certain annuity payments, or as a qualified reservist distribution.

If you file separately, the maximum allowable deduction is $0.
5718 Tax on earnings deferred Even though you are not eligible to deduct all or part of your contribution to an Individual Retirement Arrangement (IRA), tax on the earnings is deferred until withdrawn.
5719 Required distribution-cannot roll over If the distribution from your Individual Retirement Arrangement (IRA) was required under the minimum distribution rules (age 70 1/2), this distribution cannot be rolled over to another IRA. We have adjusted your income to include this amount.
5720 Separate returns-lived with spouse Even though you filed as married filing separately, if you lived with your spouse during the taxable year, the active participant status of both spouses must be considered for purposes of determining the amount, if any, you can deduct as a contribution to your Individual Retirement Account.

Since your early distribution exceeds this amount, you are subject to the 10 percent additional tax on the remainder.
5725 10 percent tax-qualified retirement plan We are proposing to adjust your tax by 10 percent of the premature distribution made from your qualified retirement plan because you received the distribution before you reached age 59 1/2 and the payment didn’t qualify for one of the allowable exceptions:

Excess deferrals are (1) included in a participant’s taxable income for the year contributed and (2) taxed a second time when the deferral is ultimately distributed from the plan. We have increased your taxable income to include the excess deferral amount and adjusted your tax accordingly.
5801 Feed deposit Your deduction for prepaid feed is disallowed because the expenditure did not pay for the purchase of feed but instead was a deposit.
5802 Prepaid feed - personal - not valid business purpose Your deduction for prepaid feed is disallowed because the prepayment was not made for a valid business purpose.
5803 Prepaid feed - material distortion of income Your deduction for prepaid feed is disallowed because allowing this deduction in the year of payment results in a material distortion of your income.
5804 Activity not for profit/profit motive If you raise crops or livestock mainly for the use of your family, but derive some income from incidental sales, you will not be considered as operating a farm for profit; therefore, you may not deduct expenses of carrying on the business of farming.
5805 Contested liability-not paid Under the cash basis method of accounting, a contested liability may be deducted only in the year the liability is paid. Since you did not pay the liability in the current year, your deduction is denied.
5806 Accrual basis-must maintain an inventory You must use an accrual method to compute purchases and sales because you are required to use an inventory method. We refigured your cost of sales and your income accordingly.
5807 Accounting method changed without permission You may not change from the unit-livestock-price method to the cost or market method without permission from the Internal Revenue Service.
5808 Prepayments material distortion of income-computation method Because prepayments of management fees, interest, or loan expenses materially distort income, we made the adjustment shown in the attached computation.

This intent must be supported by actions that show you entered into and operated your farming business for the purpose of making a profit. Since your operations do not indicate you satisfied this requirement, no loss is allowable.

5815 Land clearing Land clearing expenses in preparation for farming are not deductible.

6001 Depletion-cost-general Under the cost method of depletion, each unit of production sold is assigned a part of the cost or other basis of the interest. This is determined by dividing the cost or other basis by the total units expected to be recovered. We refigured your depletion accordingly.
6002 Depletion- percent depletion-general Under the percentage or statutory method of figuring depletion, the law provides a special percentage factor for different types of minerals and other natural resources. This percentage is multiplied by the gross income from the interest to arrive at the depletion allowance. We refigured your depletion allowance accordingly.
6003 Depletion - percent depletion-oil and gas limitations Under the percentage depletion method a flat percentage of the gross income from the property is taken as the depletion deduction. For oil and gas wells, the deduction allowed by the IRC 613A is the lesser of

  1. the flat percentage of gross income from the property

  2. 100 percent of the Taxable Income from the property, or

  3. 65 percent of the taxable income on the entire tax return.


We have recomputed your depletion allowance as shown in the attached computation.
6004 Depletion - percent depletion oil and gas limit allowed only on oil prod. The law allows percentage depletion only on oil and gas actually produced and sold under the taxpayer's normal method of accounting or only on income from oil actually produced.

6008 Depletion- percent depletion-deductible only in year advance received Advance payments for oil and gas are includible in income in the year received and percentage depletion is allowable only on oil and gas produced in the same year. We adjusted your depletion allowance accordingly.
6009 Intangible drilling costs Since you hold neither a working or an operating interest in any track or parcel of land, either as a fee owner or under a lease or contract granting operating rights, you may not charge intangible drilling and development of oil and gas properties to expense.
6010 Timber Special rules apply to recognition of gain from the sale of timber. A taxpayer may elect to treat the cutting of timber, which is held for sale or use in a trade or business, as a sale or exchange. If the holding period requirements are met, the gain is recognized as IRC 1231 gain and may, therefore, receive capital gain treatment.
6011 Depletion- percent depletion-not allowed expenses pay w/o regard to prod. Percentage depletion is not allowable for lease bonuses, advance royalty payments, or other amounts, payable without regard to actual production from an oil, gas, or geothermal property.
6101 Adjusted as shown We have adjusted your net operating loss as shown in the accompanying computations.
6102 Non-business loss-disallowed You did not sustain a net operating loss in the tax year within the meaning of IRC 172 because your loss was attributable solely to non-business expenses. Therefore, there is no net operating loss carryback or carryover, and your deduction claimed is disallowed. Taxable income is increased accordingly.
6103 Period for carryback/carryover In general, for tax years beginning after August 5, 1997, the period to which you can carry a net operating loss (NOL) back is 2 tax years. The period to which you can carry an NOL forward is 20 years. Since you have not established that you qualify for an extended carryback period, we refigured your deduction accordingly.
6104 Carryback/carryover Since you did not elect to forego the carryback period on a loss year return filed on time; or, provided you filed your loss year return timely, on an amended loss year return filed within 6 months of the due date (excluding extensions) of the loss year return, you cannot deduct the amount eligible for carryback in a later year.
6105 Carry-over period expired We disallowed your net operating loss deduction because the carry-over period expired.
6106 Remove a carryback/carryover from computation of current year loss In computing this year's net operating loss, you must remove a net operating loss carryback or carryover from another year. Accordingly, we refigured your net operating loss.
6107 Capital losses/gains Capital losses that are more than capital gains cannot be taken into account in the net operating loss computation. Accordingly, we refigured your net operating loss.
6108 Exemptions You cannot take your personal and dependency exemptions into account in your net operating loss computation. Accordingly, we modified your net operating loss.
6109 Interest income Interest income is considered non-business income even though this is the principal source of income. We refigured your net operating loss accordingly.
6110 Dividend income/income averaging Dividend income is considered non-business income even though this is the principal source of income. We refigured your net operating loss accordingly.
6111 Salary Your salary from outside employment must be used to reduce the loss from your business and cannot be offset by non-business deductions. We refigured your net operating loss accordingly.
6112 Loss in more than 1 year Since you sustained a net operating loss in more than one year, the loss occurring in the earlier year must be deducted from the income of other years before the later loss. Although the net operating loss deduction is the total of all carrybacks and carryovers to the year, the earlier loss must be used first. We refigured your net operating loss deduction accordingly.
6113 Zero bracket amount/standard deduction In figuring a Net Operating Loss (NOL), the standard deduction is treated as a non-business deduction that can be used to offset non-business income. We refigured your net operating loss accordingly.
6114 Nonbusiness items You can deduct non-business items such as taxes on a personal residence or medical expenses only to the extent of non-business gross income and the amount by which non-business capital gains are more than non-business capital losses. You cannot include the excess in a net operating loss. Therefore, we refigured your net operating loss.
6115 Retirement plans Contributions to a retirement plan on behalf of a self-employed owner-employee, to the extent deductible, are considered non-business deductions. We refigured your net operating loss accordingly.
6116 Investment tax credit Since your investment tax credit is limited to your tax for the year, the carryback of your net operating loss reduces the investment credit allowed. The recomputed credit is subject to the provisions of IRC 38(c) and IRC 39(c).
6117 Nonbusiness capital gains/capital losses The amount by which non-business capital losses are more than non-business capital gains cannot be included in the net operating loss deduction.
6118 Excess business capital losses over business capital gains The amount by which business capital losses are more than business capital gains can be included in the net operating loss deduction only if certain conditions are met.
(1) There is a net non-business capital gain; and
(2) That non-business capital gain is more than the excess of non-business ordinary deductions over non-business ordinary income.

The net business capital loss is limited to the amount by which the net non-business capital gain exceeds the excess non-business deductions.
6119 Taxable Income for carryback year is greater than NOL Since the taxable income for the carryback year is greater than the net operating loss, it fully absorbs the loss and no modifications are required. However, the deductions limited by adjusted gross income are affected (except for contributions).
6120 Charitable contribution Although the deduction for charitable contributions has a ceiling based on adjusted gross income, the allowable deduction is determined without regard to any net operating loss carrybacks.
6121 Minimum tax We refigured your minimum tax because of changes in net operating loss carryover.
6122 Election to forego carryback is irrevocable Your election to forego the carryback period is irrevocable and specifies that you are relinquishing the entire carryback period. You lose any part of the net operating loss that you do not absorb by the end of the carryover period. Therefore, we refigured your net operating loss.
6123 Adjusted gross income limitation Because your adjusted gross income was reduced, your medical expense deduction increased.
6124 Carryover/carryback year adjusted due to change in loss year Since the net operating loss on which this carryback/carryover is based was disallowed or decreased, the carryback/carryover was disallowed in the amount shown.
6125 Election to apply an extended carryback period to an applicable net operating loss Your election to apply an extended carryback period to an applicable net operating loss is irrevocable and specifies that you will carry the applicable net operating loss to the earliest carryback year first. Therefore, we have refigured your net operating loss deduction.
6126 Period for carryback We disallowed your net operating loss carryback. In general, for tax years beginning after December 31, 2017, net operating losses cannot be carried back but can be carried forward indefinitely.
6127 Computation of net operating losses Net operating loss deductions and net operating loss carryovers for losses arising in tax years beginning after December 31, 2017, are limited to 80 percent of your taxable income. We adjusted your allowable net operating loss deduction as shown in the attached computation.

6202 Expenses do not qualify as adoption expenses Because the expenses you verified are expenses that do not qualify as adoption expenses, your credit has been disallowed.

6204 Modified AGI adjusted/adoption credit adjusted The income limit on the adoption credit or exclusion is based on your modified adjusted income (MAGI). Since we adjusted your MAGI, your credit has been adjusted accordingly.
6205 Adoption not final/not U.S. citizen or resident/credit disallowed Because the child claimed for Adoption Credit was not a U.S. citizen or resident and the adoption did not become final during the year, you cannot take the adoption credit.
6206 Adoption not final/not a U.S. citizen or resident/ excl disallowed Because the child claimed for Adoption Credit was not a U.S. citizen or resident and the adoption did not become final during the year, you cannot take the adoption exclusion.

For purposes of A or C, if the special rule for divorced parents, legally separated parents or parents living apart at all times during the last 6 months of the year, applies for purposes of determining who can claim the child as a dependent, the child is not necessarily a qualifying individual of the parent who claims the child as a dependent. Only the custodial parent may claim the child and dependent care credit, even if the non-custodial parent is entitled to claim the child as a dependent.

6703 Income changed Since we have changed the amount of income (retirement, earned investment) reported on your return, we have also adjusted your credit for the elderly and the permanently and totally disabled.
6704 Credit disallowed Since you received earned income or social security payments that were more than the limitation, we have disallowed your credit for the elderly and the permanently and totally disabled.
6705 Adjusted due to change in your Federal income tax We adjusted your credit for the elderly and the permanently and totally disabled as a result of changes to your Federal income tax.
6706 Elderly, permanently & totally disabled - not met A credit for the elderly and the permanently and totally disabled applies to a citizen or resident of the United States:

  1. who is 65 years of age before the close of the tax year, or

Since you did not meet either of these qualifications, we disallowed the credit.

We therefore adjusted your credit.
6708 Married taxpayers must file a joint return unless they live apart Married taxpayers must file a joint tax return in order to claim the credit for the elderly and the permanently and totally disabled, unless the spouses live apart at all times during the tax year. The credit is computed on Schedule R. Since you did not meet the requirements this credit is disallowed.

If the tax is erroneously withheld, you should request a refund from the employer who withheld the tax.
6906 TP subject to FICA Under the Federal Insurance Contributions Act (FICA), wages paid to an employee for services performed in the United States are subject to FICA (social security and Medicare) tax unless specifically excluded by law. Since your wages are not excludable, the tax was correctly withheld and no refund is due, even though you may not be entitled to social security benefits.

7002 Adjusted federal income tax We adjusted your foreign tax credit as a result of changes to your Federal income tax.

7005 Foreign tax credit limitation For each separate category of income listed in IRC 904(d) and other code sections, the maximum foreign tax credit allowed bears the same proportion to the tax against which the credit is taken, that taxable income from sources outside the United States for the separate category of income bears to taxable income from all sources for the same year. Taxable income is figured without deduction for personal exemptions. In determining taxable income from each sources outside the United States, allocate and apportion deductions that are factually related to that taxable income.
7006 Apportion on time basis/schedule Your foreign tax credit was refigured as shown in the enclosed schedule. The source of compensation as an employee is based on a time basis. In making this allocation, if any amount was paid or furnished in kind to you as an allowance over and above your base salary, it is considered to be part of your total compensation. The source of compensation received if not an employee is based on all the facts and time basis may be appropriate.
7007 Income earned in restricted country You cannot claim a foreign tax credit on income earned in certain restricted foreign countries. Since the credit you are claiming is based on money earned in a restricted country, we have disallowed the credit.
7009 Credit decreased The foreign tax credit reported on your return for the tax year was decreased. Your income tax is increased accordingly.
7010 Foreign taxes In refiguring your foreign tax credit, we eliminated any foreign taxes that do not qualify for the credit under IRC 901, since those taxes have not been established to be eligible for the credit as foreign income taxes.
7011 FTC due to IRC 911 exclusion The amount of foreign tax available for foreign credit must be reduced by the part of foreign tax allocable to income excluded under IRC 911. The foreign taxes attributable to the excluded income are figured by multiplying the foreign taxes paid by a fraction, the numerator of which is the amount of income excluded under IRC 911 (less allocable deductions). The denominator is all foreign earned income (less allowable deductions). Your creditable foreign taxes have been reduced as shown in the attached computation.
7013 Exchange rates/tax years beginning after Dec. 31, 1997 For tax years beginning after December 31, 1997, your credit for foreign taxes accrued has been adjusted to reflect the average exchange rate for the taxable year to which such taxes relate.

(B) the term of the lease must be less than 50 percent of the useful life of the property and the lessor's share of the first year's normal operating expense must be more than 15 percent of the rental income.

1) $110,000 if married filing jointly, or

Because your adjusted gross income was changed and now exceeds the limitation, your Child Tax Credit has been adjusted.
7303 Child tax credit computed We computed the Child Tax Credit for you and have applied it to your adjusted tax liability.
7304 Additional child tax credit allowed Because you have three or more qualifying children and meet the requirements, you are entitled to the Additional Child Tax Credit.

7334 TP/spouse did not have a main home in the U.S. for more than half the year - refundable CTC converted to CTC/ ACTC We adjusted the Refundable Child Tax Credit (CTC) you reported because you (and your spouse if Married Filing Jointly) did not have a main home in the United States for more than half the year. You cannot claim all of your CTC as refundable CTC.
7335 Credit for other dependents disallowed for incorrect calculation and claimed as a refundable credit Because you incorrectly calculated the Credit for Other Dependent (ODC) on Schedule 8812 and included it as a refundable credit, we adjusted the credit to the nonrefundable ODC.

7404 Withholding credits allowed/FS shown allowed/TXI decreased It is determined that you are allowed withholding credits as shown in the attached computation. It is determined that you are entitled to the standard deduction for the filing status shown in this report. Therefore, your taxable income has been decreased accordingly.
7405 Gross receipts computed per consumer price index In the absence of adequate records, your taxable gross receipts have been computed on the basis of your prior earnings record in conjunction with the Consumer Price Index. Since you neglected to file income tax returns for the taxable years, your taxable income is calculated as shown.
7406 Community property income From records and information available, it has been determined that you received income in the amount(s) shown from the source(s) indicated. This is community property income. Since you and your spouse did not elect to file a joint income tax return, one-half of the community property income is taxable to you. Accordingly, your taxable income is increased as shown in the attached computation.
7407 Personal exemption allowed We have allowed you a deduction for your personal exemption.
7408 Filing status MFS It is determined that for the tax year(s) shown in this report, you failed to file a tax return as required by law.

7412 Capital gain sale It is determined that you realized capital gain(s) from the sale of capital assets. The gross sales proceeds are treated as net capital gain because it has not been established that you had a cost basis in the capital assets. Consequently, the gain constitutes gross income realized by you as provided by IRC 61. Accordingly, your taxable income is increased.
7501 Dependency exemption disallowed/education credit adjusted Since your claim of one or more dependency exemptions has been disallowed, the amount of the Education Credit claimed on your return has been adjusted as shown.

  1. $100,000 or more if married filing jointly, or

7519 Academic period begins after 1st 3 months The qualified expenses paid in the tax year were for an academic period that began after the first 3 months of the next year. Because they cannot be used in figuring your Education Credit for the tax year, we adjusted your credit.

The student should retain this for the year the credit is claimed.

7539 American opportunity Tax credit (AOTC) 2-year ban asserted (for tax years prior to 2016) Since we determined that you recklessly or intentionally disregarded the rules and regulations when you claimed the American Opportunity Tax Credit, you are restricted from receiving the American Opportunity Tax Credit under IRC 25A(i)(7)(A)(ii)(II) for two years after the final determination.
7540 American opportunity tax credit – disallowed - no ban - recertification required (for tax years 2016 and later) The next time you claim the American Opportunity Tax Credit, you must complete and include Form 8862 with your tax return.

7543 TP/spouse/dependent TIN not issued by return due date – AOTC adjusted (returns filed after 2015) Because you, your spouse if married filing jointly, or one or more dependents you claimed for American opportunity tax credit (AOTC) did not have a social security number (SSN), individual taxpayer identification number (ITIN) or adoption taxpayer identification number (ATIN) issued by the due date of your return (including extensions), we adjusted the AOTC claimed. To claim the AOTC, you (and your spouse if filing a joint return) and any dependent you claim for AOTC must have an SSN, ITIN or ATIN issued by the due date of your return (including extensions).
7601 AGI or earned income adjusted Because we changed your adjusted gross income and/or your earnings and those changes affected your modified adjusted gross income or earned income, we have also adjusted your earned income credit.
7602 Household not maintained Because your child did not have the same principal home as you in the United States for more than half of the year (whole year, if a foster child), your child is not a qualifying child. Therefore, you do not qualify for the earned income credit.
7603 No qualifying child Since you do not have a qualifying child, you are not entitled to the earned income credit. Therefore, we have disallowed it.
7604 Higher AGI in household We have disallowed your earned income credit, because your qualifying child is also the qualifying child of someone else whose adjusted gross income is higher than yours. In this situation, only the person with the higher adjusted gross income can claim the credit. This is so, even if that person does not meet all the rules for claiming the credit.
7605 Dependent not under age 19/ student/ disabled Because your child was not under 19 years of age at the close of the tax year, under age 24 years of age at the close of the tax year and a full-time student during any 5 months of the year, or permanently and totally disabled at any time during the year, you are not entitled to the earned income credit. Therefore, we have disallowed the credit.
7606 Married filing separate disallowed In order to be eligible for the earned income credit, married persons must file a joint return. Since you and your spouse filed separately, we have disallowed this credit.
7607 AGI or earned income over maximum/credit fully disallowed We changed your earned income and/or your adjusted gross income, and those changes increased your earned income and/or your adjusted gross income to more than the maximum amount allowable to claim the credit. Therefore, we have disallowed the credit and increased your tax liability by the amount shown.
7608 Allow EIC with no qualifying child/income less than limit Because you meet the requirements for a person without a qualifying child and your income is less than the limits set by law, we have allowed the earned income credit.
7609 Filing status changed to MFS To be eligible for the earned income credit, married persons must file a joint return. Since we changed your filing status to married filing separately we disallowed this credit.
7610 Not established TP entitled to EIC Since you did not establish that you were entitled to the earned income credit, we disallowed it.

7614 Adjustment to earned income credit - more than 1 exemption The earned income credit is based on both family size and income. We refigured your credit because you had more than one qualifying child.
7615 EITC disallowed/no response Since you failed to respond to attempts to set an appointment to review your tax return, those items for which documentation and records were requested are being disallowed. One of those items is the Earned Income Credit (EIC).

The law now requires IRS, if it denies your EIC as a result of the deficiency procedures, to also deny the credit for subsequent years unless you provide information that shows your eligibility. Therefore, if you cannot substantiate your EIC claim for the current year, you will have to attach Form 8862, Earned Income Credit Eligibility, to the next Federal tax return on which you claim the credit. If you claim the credit and attach Form 8862, we will determine if you are entitled to the credit. We will delay any refund until we make that determination and may have to contact you for additional information. If you do not attach Form 8862 to the next tax return on which you claim the credit, we will disallow the credit.
7616 Not established TP entitled to EIC/must file Form 8862 Since you did not establish that you were entitled to the earned income credit, we disallowed it.

The law now requires IRS, if it denies your EIC as a result of the deficiency procedures, to also deny the credit for subsequent years unless you provide information that shows your eligibility. Therefore, if you cannot substantiate your EIC claim for the current year, you will have to attach Form 8862, Earned Income Credit Eligibility, to the next Federal tax return on which you claim the credit. If you claim the credit and attach Form 8862, we will determine if you are entitled to the credit. We will delay any refund until we make that determination and may have to contact you for additional information.

7632 Ten year ban Your Earned Income Credit (EIC) has been disallowed because your return is subject to IRC 32(k)(1)(B)(i) which places a ten year prohibition on claiming EIC.

7642 EIC disallowance for issuance of 90-day letter on project code 0584 cases Since you did not provide documentation to establish the Wages and Withholding claimed on your tax return, we have removed the income and withholding from your return.

7644 Dependent not under age 19/ student/ disabled for tax year 2009 Because your child was not under 19 years of age at the close of the tax year and younger than you (or your spouse, if filing jointly), or under 24 years of age at the close of the tax year, a full time student during any 5 months of the year and younger than you (or your spouse, if filing jointly), or permanently and totally disabled at any time during the year, you are not entitled to the earned income credit.

For most taxpayers, investment income is the total of the following amounts: taxable and tax-exempt interest, dividend income and capital gain net income.
7646 Qualifying child of another for 2009 and later years Our records indicate that your qualifying child is also the qualifying child of one or more other taxpayers. When a child is the qualifying child of two or more taxpayers, the following tiebreaker rules apply:

If only one of the persons is the child's parent, the child is treated as the qualifying child of the parent.

If the parents do not file a joint return together, but both parents claim the child as the qualifying child, the IRS will treat the child as the qualifying child of the parent with whom the child lived for a longer period of time during the year. If the child lived with each parent for the same amount of time, the IRS will treat the child as the qualifying child of the parent who had the higher adjusted gross income (AGI) for the year.

If no parent can claim the child as a qualifying child, the child is treated as the qualifying child of the person who had the highest AGI for the year.

If a parent can claim the child as a qualifying child, but no parent does so claim the child, the child is treated as the qualifying child of the person who had the highest AGI for the year, but only if that person's AGI is higher than the highest AGI of any of the child's parents.

If you claim the EIC and include Form 8862, we will determine if you are entitled to the credit. We will delay any refund until we make that determination and may contact you for additional information. If you do not include Form 8862 with the next tax return claiming the credit and you are required to do so, we will disallow the credit.

However, if you are taking the EIC without a qualifying child and the only reason your EIC was reduced or disallowed in the earlier year was because it was determined that a child listed on Schedule EIC was not your qualifying child, you do not have to include Form 8862.
7648 Earned income credit - 2 year ban asserted Since we determined that you recklessly or intentionally disregarded the rules and regulations when you claimed the earned income credit (EIC), you are restricted from receiving EIC under IRC 32(k)(1)(B)(ii) for two years after the final determination. If you claim the EIC after the two-year ban expires or later, you must complete and include Form 8862, with your tax return.

If you claim the EIC and include Form 8862, we will determine if you are entitled to the credit.

To claim the EIC, you (and your spouse, if filing a joint return), and any qualifying child listed on Schedule EIC must have a valid SSN issued by the due date of your return (including extensions).

8001 Definition of AMT - 2000 and prior You have an alternative minimum tax liability only if your tentative minimum tax exceeds your regular tax liability. Tentative minimum tax is computed by first calculating your alternative minimum taxable income, which equals your regular taxable income increased by any tax preference items for the taxable year, and increased or decreased by adjustment items for the taxable year.

Alternative minimum taxable income is then reduced by an exemption amount ($33,750 for Single/Head of Household; $45,000 for Married Filing Joint/Surviving Spouse; and $22,500 for Married Filing Separately), which is subject to phase-out depending on the amount of your alternative minimum taxable income.

For taxable years after 1992, the remaining amount is subject to a 26 percent tax rate on the first $175,000 and 28 percent tax rate on any amount in excess of $175,000.

A tentative minimum tax is then computed by reducing the amount determined in the preceding sentence by any allowable foreign tax credit. The alternative minimum tax liability is the amount by which tentative minimum tax exceeds regular tax liability.
8034 Definition of AMT (2006) You have an alternative minimum tax liability only if your tentative minimum tax exceeds your regular tax liability. Tentative minimum tax is computed by first calculating your alternative minimum taxable income, which equals your regular taxable income increased by any tax preference items for the taxable year, and increased or decreased by adjustment items for the taxable year.

8236 SE tax assessed on NEC; fillable amounts Our records show that you received $____________ in the of non-employee compensation from _____________.

We have adjusted your return because the $____________ you reported on Schedule C/F is self-employment income making you liable for self-employment tax.

We have adjusted your return because the $____________ you reported on line 21 or line 7 of your return has been determined to be self-employment income making you liable for self-employment tax.

Non-employee compensation is earned income that is generally subject to self-employment tax.

Self-employment tax is owed by any individual, regardless of age, who has net earnings from self-employment of $400 or more in a tax year.

Self-employment tax is separate from, and in addition to, income tax. The Internal Revenue Service collects the self-employment tax. Your payments of self-employment tax contribute to your coverage for social security and Medicare purposes.

We have computed self-employment tax as shown on the computation schedule of this report.
8237 SE tax - minister Generally, earnings for services performed in the capacity as a minister, a Christian Science practitioner, or a member of a religious order who has not taken a vow of poverty, are subject to self-employment tax whether the minister is an employee or a self-employed person for income tax or retirement purposes.
8238 No trade or business, therefore no SE Tax due Because you do not maintain a trade or business from which you have self-employment income, you do not have net earnings from self-employment within the meaning of IRC 1402(a), and therefore, you do not owe any self-employment tax. Because we have eliminated your liability for self-employment tax, we have eliminated your deduction for one-half of the self-employment tax, which you took as an adjustment to gross income on page 1 of Form 1040.

8242 Adjustment to deferral of SE tax payments – Schedule C disallowed Because we determined that the activity described on your Schedule C does not meet the guidelines of carrying on a trade or business within the meaning of IRC 162, we have disallowed your Schedule C gross income and/or expenses, recomputing your net profit from self-employment within the meaning of IRC 1402. Therefore, the deferral of self-employment tax has been adjusted as shown.
8243 Adjustment to deferral of SE tax payments – Schedule C gross income/expenses adjusted Because we have adjusted your Schedule C gross income and/or expenses, recomputing your net profit from self-employment within the meaning of IRC 1402, the deferral of self-employment tax has been adjusted as shown.

8302 Change in filing status We have adjusted your standard deduction because of changes to your filing status.
8303 Std greater than allowable itemized We have allowed you the standard deduction because it is a larger amount than the amount of your allowable itemized deductions.
8304 Allowed itemized-disallowed std - both must itemize if one itemizes Since you and your spouse filed separate returns and one itemized deductions, the other must also itemize deductions. We have disallowed your standard deduction, and allowed your itemized deductions as shown in the accompanying computation.

8307 Adjust itemized as shown We have adjusted your itemized deductions as shown in the enclosed computation.

8310 Spouse files separate and itemizes You may not take the standard deduction amount if you and your spouse file separate returns and your spouse itemizes deductions.

8313 Additional deduction for blindness You have been allowed an additional standard deduction amount for blindness.

8315 Adjusted to correspond with filing status We have adjusted your standard deduction to correspond to your filing status.
8316 Adjusted-reduced itemized deductions-standard ded. allowed Since the adjustments shown in this report reduced your allowable itemized deductions to an amount less than the allowable standard deduction, we disallowed your excess itemized deductions. The standard deduction will be allowed as a separate adjustment.
8317 Itemized deduction limited due to AGI threshold amount The amount you can claim for some of your itemized deductions is limited because your adjusted gross income (AGI) has exceeded the threshold amount. We have attached an itemized deduction worksheet, to show the changes that have been made.

8319 Standard disallowed – Itemized better We have disallowed the standard deduction because the allowable itemized deductions give you a larger deduction.
8320 Sch A no longer applicable – real estate taxes allowed per Sch L for tax year 2009 Since we changed your Schedule A, it is now beneficial for you to use the standard deduction. Since there were entries on line (6, 7 or 20), we have increased the amount of the standard deduction accordingly.

8324 Disallowed additional standard deduction for casualty loss reported on Form 4797 for tax year 2009 Since the amount of casualty loss reported on Schedule L was also reported on Form 4797 and reported as an income loss on your return, we are disallowing the increased standard deduction.
8401 Spouse itemized/you must itemize unused ZBA-add back You must itemize your deductions, even if your itemized deductions total less than your standard deduction or zero bracket amount, if:

  1. You are married filing a separate return and your spouse itemizes deductions; or

  2. You are a nonresident alien or a dual status alien (both a resident and nonresident) during the tax year.


Since you are required to itemize deductions, we have disallowed the standard deduction and have allowed your itemized deductions as shown.
8402 Tax figured using maximum capital gains rate Your tax was calculated using the maximum capital gains rate.
8403 Determining tax by tax table To figure your tax by the Tax Table, you must first determine your taxable income. Your Taxable Income is your adjusted gross income less deductions (itemized or standard) and exemptions.

8406 Tax rate schedule - taxable income more than $100,000 You must use the Tax Rate Schedule to figure your tax if your taxable income is $100,000 or more.

8409 MFS returns after joint filed/credits must be deleted from joint If one spouse files a separate return after a joint return has been filed but before the due date of the return, that spouse's income and credits must be deleted from the superseded joint return and claimed on the appropriate separate return.

8411 Rebate due you will be automatic Any additional tax refund due you will be generated automatically by the computer when any proposed balance due in tax is changed.

8413 NR-wrong treaty rate Your tax shown on Form 1040-NR was refigured because you used the wrong treaty rate in the original computation. You may only use the rate called for in the tax treaty that applies. See IRC 894.
8414 Rec'd. lump-sum from qualified retirement plan/qualify for 10-yr average. Since you have received a lump-sum distribution from a qualified retirement plan which qualified for the special averaging method, we have excluded the distribution from your total income and have added it to Form 4972 for the proper tax computation.
8415 Deductible allowance for correct number of exemptions Although this item appears as an adjustment, it reflects the deductible allowance for your correct number of exemptions. This item is reflected only for purposes of figuring your tax from the applicable tax rate schedule.

8416 Alternative minimum You owe the alternative minimum tax shown based on the adjustments to your return.
8417 Income on Form 4972 does not qualify for special averaging Based on information available to us, the income reported on Form 4972 does not qualify for a special averaging method.

Since you have net investment income and are now above the applicable threshold amount, you are liable for the net investment income tax. We have attached a worksheet to show the computation of the tax.
8422 Adjustment to NIIT due to change in filing status Your net investment income tax is calculated on the lesser of (A) your net investment income for the taxable year under IRC 1411, or (B) the excess, if any, of your modified adjusted gross income (MAGI) over the following threshold amounts based on your filing status: Married Filing Jointly or Qualifying Widower with Dependent Child: $250,000; Married Filing Separately: $125,000; Single or Head of Household: $200,000.

Your household income is the sum of your modified adjusted gross income (MAGI) and the MAGI of each dependent reported on your return if that dependent is required to file his or her own tax return. Your MAGI is computed by adding any excluded foreign income and tax exempt interest received to your adjusted gross income. Due to the change we made to your MAGI, we adjusted your individual SRP accordingly. We attached a worksheet to show how we made our change to your individual SRP.
8712 Individual shared responsibility payment (SRP) - adjustment due to change in household income - family member Your individual shared responsibility payment (SRP), as required by Section 5000A of the Internal Revenue Code, is calculated using your household income. Your household income is the sum of your modified adjusted gross income (MAGI) and the MAGI of each dependent reported on your return if that dependent is required to file his or her own tax return. Your MAGI is computed by adding any excluded foreign income and tax exempt interest received to your adjusted gross income. During our examination of your tax return, we found that you did not include the MAGI of one or more family members who were required to file his or her own return. As a result, we adjusted your individual SRP accordingly. We attached a worksheet to show how we made our change to your individual SRP.
8713 Individual shared responsibility payment (SRP) - adjustment due to change in month(s) of coverage Your individual shared responsibility payment (SRP), as required by Section 5000A of the Internal Revenue Code, is calculated based on each month that you or another member of your tax household did not have either minimum essential coverage or a coverage exemption.

As a result, we adjusted your individual SRP accordingly. We attached a worksheet to show how we made our change to your individual SRP.
8714 Individual shared responsibility payment (SRP) - adjustment due to no minimum essential coverage or exemption. SRP not reported on return (silent return) Internal Revenue Code Section 5000A imposes an individual shared responsibility payment (SRP) if you or another member of your tax household did not have either minimum essential coverage or a coverage exemption for each month of the year. During our examination of your tax return, we found that you, or a member of your tax household, did not have either minimum essential coverage or a coverage exemption for one or more months during the year. As a result, we computed your SRP as shown in the attached worksheet.
8715 Premium tax credit (PTC) –second lowest cost silver plan The amounts you reported for the second lowest cost silver plan (SLCSP), in Part 2 of Form 8962, Premium Tax Credit (PTC), exceed the allowable amount for your geographic location.

8719 Individual shared responsibility payment (SRP) - adjustment due to change in filing status and number of personal and/or dependency exemptions Your individual shared responsibility payment (SRP), as required by Section 5000A of the Internal Revenue Code, is calculated based on your filing status and the months that you or another member of your tax household did not have minimum essential coverage or a coverage exemption. During our examination of your tax return, we found that you did not report the correct filing status and did not claim the correct number of personal and/or dependency exemptions for your tax household.

8720 Individual shared responsibility payment (SRP) - adjustment due to change in household income, and either a change in filing status or number of personal and/or dependency exemptions Your individual shared responsibility payment (SRP), as required by Section 5000A of the Internal Revenue Code, is calculated based on your household income, filing status and the months that you or another member of your tax household did not have minimum essential coverage or a coverage exemption. Your household income is the sum of your modified adjusted gross income (MAGI) and the MAGI of each dependent reported on your return if that dependent is required to file his or her own tax return. Your MAGI is computed by adding any excluded foreign income and tax exempt interest received to your adjusted gross income. During our examination of your tax return, we found that you did not properly compute MAGI, report the correct filing status and/or claim the correct number of personal and/or dependency exemptions for your tax household. As a result, we adjusted your individual SRP accordingly. We attached a worksheet to show how we made our change to your individual SRP.

8722 Premium tax credit (PTC) disallowed – other minimum essential coverage (MEC) available We disallowed the premium tax credit you claimed on Form 8962, Premium Tax Credit (PTC).

Merely residing in a new location for a period of time does not constitute the establishment of a domicile. Since you have not established that you were domiciled in a community property country or state during the taxable year, community property benefits are not allowed.

9009 Separate returns-deductions allocated When a husband and wife file separate returns claiming community property benefits, half of the community income and half of the itemized deductions are allocated to each spouse. Therefore, we have disallowed half of the itemized deductions you claimed.
9010 Disallowed benefits/not estab spouse inc subject to community benefits It has not been established that your spouse's income is subject to the law of any jurisdiction that grants one spouse a present vested interest in 50 percent of the other's income from personal services. Therefore, we have disallowed community property benefits.
9011 NR alien and spouse-no joint return election-no comm. laws apply Since you and your nonresident alien spouse did not elect to file a joint return for the tax year, community property laws do not apply to earned income, business income, partnership income, and income from separately owned property.

9205 Surtax exemption/ 1975 and after Since you are a component member of a controlled group of corporations as described in IRC 1563, only one surtax exemption is allowable. We have apportioned this exemption equally among the group because a consent for unequal allocation was not made under IRC 1561(a), (for years 1975 and after.)
9206 Personal holding company tax Since you are a personal holding company as defined in IRC 542 you are liable for personal holding company tax.
9207 Personal holding company per income Since 60 percent of your adjusted ordinary gross income consisted of dividends, interest, and royalties, you qualify under IRC 542 as a personal holding company.
