FAQ
  • What is a personal holding company (PHC) for a corporation?

    A personal holding company (PHC) is a corporation that meets the following conditions: (1) it has at least 60% of its adjusted ordinary gross income from passive activities, such as rents, interest, and royalties; (2) it is not a real estate investment trust (REIT); (3) it does not materially participate in the conduct of any trade or business; and (4) it has 50% or more of its outstanding stock owned (directly or indirectly) by five or fewer individuals, such as corporations, partnerships, and estates.

  • Which types of deductions are allocable to each type of income in figuring adjusted ordinary gross income?

    Deductions for depreciation and amortization, property taxes, interest, rent, and production expenses are allocable to rents. Deductions for depreciation and amortization, depletion, property and severance taxes, interest, and rent are allocable to mineral, oil, and gas royalties and gross income from a working interest in an oil or gas well. Deductions for depreciation and amortization, property taxes, interest, and rent are allocable to compensation.

  • What is a worksheet provided for in Schedule PH?

    A worksheet is provided for calculating ordinary gross income, adjusted ordinary gross income, and the percentage of stock held for producing oil or gas for purposes of the Personal Holding Company (PHC) income test.

  • What is undistributed personal holding company income?

    Undistributed personal holding company income is the portion of a corporation's personal holding company income that has not been distributed to its shareholders. For a PHC, this income is subject to the higher tax rate if it is not timely reported on Form 1120-PHC.

  • What is the tax treatment for a personal holding company (PHC)?

    A personal holding company (PHC) pays a higher tax rate on its undistributed personal holding company income. The tax rate is 20% if the corporation timely files Form 1120-PHC, or 35% if it does not. If the PHC has net capital gains and it timely files Form 1120-PHC, it may pay a reduced tax rate of 20% on those gains.

  • What are passive activities for the purpose of determining if a corporation is a PHC?

    For purposes of determining if a corporation is a PHC, passive activities include rents from real property, interest income, and royalties. A corporation's adjusted ordinary gross income must come primarily from these passive activities for it to be considered a PHC.

  • What types of income are separately adjusted in figuring adjusted ordinary gross income?

    Rents, royalties from mineral, oil, and gas wells, compensation, and certain excluded interest income are separately adjusted in figuring adjusted ordinary gross income.

  • How does a corporation determine if it is a personal holding company (PHC)?

    To determine if it is a personal holding company (PHC), a corporation must complete Worksheet 2 in the instructions for Schedule PH. If the percentage of adjusted ordinary gross income from passive activities is at least 60% and the stock ownership requirement of section 542(a) is met, the corporation is classified as a PHC.

  • What is the purpose of Schedule PH?

    Schedule PH is used to determine whether a corporation is a personal holding company (PHC). If a corporation is classified as a PHC, it must file Form 1120-PHC in addition to Form 1120. A PHC pays a higher tax rate on its undistributed personal holding company income.

  • What is the effect of failing to meet the percentage requirement for a Personal Holding Company?

    If a corporation does not meet the 60% or more requirement for the percentage test in determining whether it is a Personal Holding Company, then it is not treated as a Personal Holding Company and Schedule PH need not be filed.

ABOUT

Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Forms

Form 1120 Schedule PH is one of the official tax forms used in the United States to report income, claim deductions and credits, calculate tax liability, and fulfill other tax-related obligations. The IRS is the federal agency responsible for administering and enforcing the internal revenue laws in the United States.

Here are some examples of Internal Revenue Service forms:

Form 1040: This is the primary individual income tax return form used by most taxpayers. It is used to report various types of income, claim deductions and credits, calculate tax liability, and determine whether a taxpayer owes additional tax or is entitled to a refund.

Form 1099: There are different variations of Form 1099, such as 1099-MISC, 1099-INT, 1099-DIV, etc. These forms are used to report income received by individuals or businesses from various sources other than employment, such as self-employment income, interest income, dividend income, and rental income.

Form W-2: This form is used by employers to report wages paid to employees and the taxes withheld from their pay. Employees use the information on Form W-2 to complete their individual tax returns.

Form 941: Employers use this form to report employment taxes, including federal income tax withheld, Social Security tax, and Medicare tax, for their employees.

Form 1065: This form is used by partnerships to report their income, deductions, and tax liability. Partnerships themselves do not pay income tax; instead, the partners report their share of partnership income on their individual tax returns.

Form 1120: This is the corporate income tax return form used by C corporations to report their income, deductions, and tax liability.

Form 990: This form is used by tax-exempt organizations, such as nonprofits and charities, to report their financial information, activities, and compliance with tax laws.

Form 8862: This form is used by taxpayers who previously claimed the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) but had it disallowed, and now want to claim it again.

These are just a few examples of the numerous IRS forms that exist to fulfill various tax-related obligations. The specific forms required for an individual or business depend on their unique circumstances, income sources, and deductions. It's advisable to consult the official website of the Internal Revenue Service (www.irs.gov) or seek professional tax advice to obtain accurate and up-to-date information regarding the specific IRS forms relevant to your tax situation.
