Begin by entering the employer identification number and the corporation's name at the top of the form.
For line 1, input the minimum tax credit carryforward from 2020, which you can find on line 4 of last year's Form 8827.
Next, for line 2, enter your corporation’s 2021 regular income tax liability minus any allowable tax credits. This is crucial for calculating your current year minimum tax credit.
On line 3, determine the current year minimum tax credit by entering the smaller amount from lines 1 or 2. This value should also be reported on Form 1120, Schedule J, Part I, line 5d.
Finally, calculate the minimum tax credit carryforward by subtracting line 3 from line 1. Keep a record of this amount for future use.
