Line 1(d) If the trust sells investments assets, defined as business assets for New Hampshire Business Profits Tax purposes, report the net gain, but
not loss, from sale of investment assets, Federal Form 1041, Line 4. New Hampshire law defines business assets as those assets used in a business
activity; Therefore, assets used in a rental activity would be business assets.
Line 1(e) Report the royalties and net rental profit or loss for this entity from Federal Form 1041, Line 5. Report activities for other business entities
separately.
Line 1(f) Report farm income or loss reported on Federal Form 1041, Line 6.

Line 1(h) Report other income related to the fiduciary business activity, reported on Federal Form 1041, Line 8.
Line 1(i) Report all other business expenses not reported above related to the production of business income.
Line 1(j) Gross business profits from trust business activity. Combine Lines 1(a) through 1(h) and from the result subtract Line 1(i).
Lines 2(a) through 2(f) are adjustments necessary to increase or decrease gross business profits to reflect the Internal Revenue Code (IRC)
of December 31, 2000.
Every business organization which commences business after December 31, 2000, or has been in New Hampshire prior to December 31, 2000 and
has availed their business of federal changes after December 31, 2000, must account for the differences between the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) of
1986 in effect on December 31, 2000 and the changes made to that Code by Congress from January 1, 2001 to the end date of this tax period except
for the IRC §179 Deduction. The adjustments on lines 2(a) through 2(f) reflect the adjustments that are necessary to account for the changes. If a
taxpayer seeks to report a necessary adjustment that has not been delineated in other sections of Line 2, attach an explanation for either line 2(c) or
2(e).
