For each Schedule U-MSI filed, enter the name of the taxable member (as shown
on the federal income tax return, if filed), its Federal Identification number and
the beginning and ending dates of the combined group’s taxable year.
Check one box to indicate whether the financial institution excise, the utility
corporation excise or the business corporation excise applies. S corporations
taxable under M.G.L. Ch. 63, sec. 2B are considered financial institutions. S
corporations taxable under M.G.L. Ch. 63, sec. 32D are considered business
corporations.
Check one box to indicate the group type. A financial group is a combined group
all of whose members, including members not taxable on their income in
Massachusetts, are entities that are financial institutions under the definition set
forth in M.G.L. Ch. 63, sec. 1. A non-financial group is a combined group none of
whose members, including non-taxable members, are financial institutions. A
mixed group is any combined group that includes at least one member that is a
financial institution and at least one member that is not a financial institution.
Enter the name and Federal Identification number of the principal reporting

If no member of the group is taxable on the combined group’s income in another
state as noted, combined reporting is still required but special attribution rules
apply to determine each member’s share of the combined group’s taxable
income. In particular, if the income referenced on Schedule U-E is not taxable in
another state, this income is to be attributed among group members using the
average of each member’s respective share of the unitary business’ property and
payroll (or the property and payroll of the combined group where an affiliated
group election has been made). In such a case, the property and payroll figures
