Schedule V (Form 1120-F) is the supplemental schedule used by foreign corporations to report vessel or aircraft activities that are subject to the 4% tax rate under IRC §887. If your corporation owns, charters, or operates any qualifying vessel or aircraft, you must fill out lines 1‑9 for each asset.
What Is Schedule V?
Schedule V captures detailed information about each vessel or aircraft, including identification numbers, charter status, and the amount of tax owed. The IRS requires this schedule to be attached to Form 1120-F when the 4% tax applies.
