Instructions For Form Pa 40nrc - Consolidation Return For Qualified Electing Nonresident S Corporation/partnership Information Return Instructions

ADVERTISEMENT

The partnership must provide supplemental statements to the PA Schedules RK-1 and NRK-1 as to straight-line depreciation,
associated accelerated depreciation, and the partners’ losses without depreciation. See Chapter 16, Pass Through Entities,
of the PA PIT Guide.
Partnership Losses
For PA purposes, a partner must reduce basis in the partnership by losses, but only to the extent that the losses reduce
either the income subject to PA tax or the income tax of another state or country. Therefore, a partner’s distributive share
of losses does not reduce his or her ownership unless the partner realized a tax benefit in a taxable year.
A resident partner will reduce basis by the associated straight-line depreciation for unused losses. The partner receives a
tax benefit since basis is not reduced by the full extent of the unused loss.
IMPORTANT: See the PA PIT Guide for a complete analysis of the Tax Benefit Rule, and the associated calculations.

interest, distributive share of total taxable income, tax due before application of payments and credit, share of tax
withheld or payments, and share of overpayment, if any.
2. One of the following:

electing to join in filing a PA consolidated group return for the taxable year did agree to file the PA-40NRC; or
b. A certified copy of the agreement that evidences that each of the qualified nonresident individuals listed on the PA
Schedules NRC- I and/or O, as electing to join in filing a PA consolidated group return for the taxable year did agree

Effect of a Consolidated Group Return
Unless rejected, the Department considers the PA-40NRC a return filed on behalf of a group of electing non-resident
individuals that meet the individual filing requirements of PA PIT law. The Department’s acceptance of a PA-40NRC is
conditional upon review to determine that it is a complete return, and that all documentation is attached. This return is subject
to revocation upon audit or review. The Department retains the right at any time to require the filing of a PA-40 from any
of the individual partners or shareholders. The Department also retains the right to withdraw and modify the authority to
file a PA-40NRC. A participating shareholder or partner may not change his or her election to file from PA-40NRC to a PA-40
or from a PA-40 to a PA-40NRC after filing the PA tax returns.
