Form 990-W (Worksheet) 2020
Page 6
For this purpose, taxable income is modified to exclude net operating loss
and capital loss carrybacks or carryovers. For more details, see sections
6655(g)(2) and (3).
A large organization not using Schedule A figures the amounts to enter on
Form 990-W, line 12, as follows.
• If line 10a is smaller than line 10b: Enter 25% (0.25) of line 10a in columns
(a) through (d) of line 12.
• If line 10b is smaller than line 10a: In column (a) of line 12, enter 25% (0.25)
of line 10b. In column (b), determine the amount to enter by:
(i) subtracting line 10b from line 10a,
(ii) adding the result to the amount on line 10a, and
(iii) multiplying the total by 25% (0.25). In columns (c) and (d), enter 25%
(0.25) of line 10a.
A large organization using Schedule A follows the foregoing instructions to
figure the amounts to enter on Schedule A, line 37.
Line 13
Enter any 2019 overpayment that the organization chose to credit against its
2020 tax. The overpayment is credited against unpaid required installments
in the order in which the installments are required to be paid.
Line 14
See Federal Tax Deposits Must be Made by Electronic Funds Transfer,
earlier, for the required method for making the line 14 payments.
Schedule A
If you are using only the annualized income installment method (Part I),
complete Parts I and III. If you are using only the adjusted seasonal
installment method (Part II), complete Parts II and III. If you are using both
methods, complete all three parts. Enter in each column on Form 990-W, line
12, the amounts from the corresponding column of Schedule A, line 40.

!
CAUTION
Don’t figure any required installment until after the end of the
month immediately preceding the due date for that installment.
For each part that applies to you, complete each column in its entirety
before going to the next column. For example, if Parts I and III are required,
complete column (a), lines 1 through 13, and lines 36 through 40, before
starting column (b).
Extraordinary items. Generally, under the annualized income installment
method, extraordinary items must be taken into account after annualizing the
taxable income for the annualization period. Similar rules apply in
determining taxable income under the adjusted seasonal installment method.
An extraordinary item includes:
• Any item identified in Regulations section 1.1502-76(b)(2)(ii)(C)(1), (2), (3),
(4), (7), and (8);
• A net operating loss carryover;
• A section 481(a) adjustment; and
• Net gain or loss from the disposition of 25% (0.25) or more of the fair
market value of the corporation’s business assets during the tax year.
These extraordinary items must be accounted for in the appropriate
annualization period. However, a net operating loss deduction and a section
481(a) adjustment (unless the corporation makes the alternative choice under
Regulations section 1.6655-2(f)(3)(ii)(C)) are treated as extraordinary items
occurring on the first day of the tax year in which the item is taken into
account in determining taxable income.
De minimis rule. At the option of the corporation, extraordinary items
identified earlier that are less than $1 million (other than a net operating loss
carryover or a section 481(a) adjustment) may be annualized using the
general rules of Regulations section 1.6655-2(f), rather than being treated
under the special rules for extraordinary items.
For more information regarding extraordinary items, see Regulations
section 1.6655-2(f)(3)(ii) and the examples in Regulations section 1.6655-2(f)
(3)(vii). Also see Regulations section 1.6655-3(d)(3).
In Schedule A, Part I, make the appropriate adjustments to annualized
taxable income before figuring the estimated tax for each reporting period.
Similar adjustments must be made, if applicable, to Schedule A, Part II, if the
adjusted seasonal installment method applies.

If the corporation has certain extraordinary items, special rules apply. See
Extraordinary items, earlier. In general, extraordinary items aren’t included on
line 2, except for certain de minimis items at the option of the corporation.
See De minimis rule, earlier.
If an organization has controlled foreign corporation income under section
951(a), it must take such income (and allocable credits) into account as the
income is earned. The amounts are figured in a manner similar to the way
partnership income inclusions (and allocable credits) are taken into account
to figure a partner’s annualized income installments as provided in
Regulations section 1.6654-2(d)(2).
Safe harbor election. Organizations may be able to make a prior year safe
harbor election. Under the election, an eligible organization is treated as
having received controlled foreign corporation income (and allocable credits)
ratably during the tax year equal to 115% (1.15) (100% (1.00) for a
noncontrolling shareholder) of the amounts shown on the organization’s
return for the first preceding tax year (the second preceding tax year for the
first and second required installments).
For more information, see section 6655(e)(4), Regulations section
