This document is a part of Form 1120 for Schedule UTP, which is used to report uncertain tax positions taken by corporations on their tax returns. The form requires reporting various details about each uncertain tax position, including the IRC sections and subsections involved, related party information, ranking of the position, and more.
Schedule UTP must be filed with the taxpayer's annual Form 1120 income tax return and must be attached to the return. The due date for filing the return depends on the taxpayer's fiscal year end.
Schedule UTP (Form 1120) is used by corporations to identify and disclose transactions that may have a material tax impact on their financial statements that are not reflected in their taxable income or loss.
The description of each item reported on Schedule UTP should provide sufficient information to identify the nature of the transaction, the parties involved, and the potential tax implications. The description should also indicate if there is an unrecognized tax benefit or deficiency for financial accounting purposes.
If a corporation fails to file Schedule UTP when required, it may be subject to penalties. The penalty for failing to timely file can be up to 5% of the gross income from the reportable transactions per month, up to a maximum of 25%. The penalty for underreporting a reportable transaction is 20% or $1 million, whichever is smaller.
Schedule UTP reports transactions that have a material tax impact on a corporation's financial statements but may not be reflected in its taxable income or loss. Examples include: changes in accounting methods, tax-motivated financing transactions, and transactions with related parties.
An unrecognized tax benefit is a financial statement adjustment that a corporation makes to account for the potential future recognition of a tax liability or reduction of taxable income. It may result from a transaction or an accounting method change, among other things.
