First draft as of September 7, 2006
dividends or certain per-unit retain allocations from the
cooperative a deduction equal to their portion of the
cooperative1s qualified production activities income (QPAI) that
would be deductible by the cooperative and have been
designated by the cooperative in a written notice mailed to its
patrons during the payment period specified under section
1382(d). The deduction for QPAI apples to any cooperative that
is engaged in the manufacturing, producing, growing, or
extracting in whole or significant part of any agricultural or
horticultural product, or the marketing of agricultural or
horticultural products.
If any amount of a patronage dividend or qualified per-unit
retain allocation is received by a patron from the cooperative,
and such amount is allocable to QPAI that is deductible under
section 199(a), then the amount is deductible from the gross
income of the patron and is reported in box 6. However, if no
written notice (see below) was sent within the payment period,
leave box 6 blank.
To determine the portion of the cooperative’s QPAI that
would be deductible, the cooperative’s taxable income is
computed without taking into account any deduction allowable
under section 1382(b) or (c) relating to patronage dividends,
per-unit retain allocations, and nonpatronage distributions. In
the case of a cooperative engaged in the marketing of
agricultural and horticultural products, the cooperative is treated
as having manufactured, produced, grown, or extracted in
whole or in significant part any qualifying production property
marketed by the cooperative that its patrons have
manufactured, produced, grown, or extracted. Agricultural or
horticultural products also include fertilizer, diesel fuel, and
other supplies used in agricultural or horticultural production
that are manufactured, produced, grown, or extracted by the
cooperative.
A maximum deduction percentage equal to 9% is to be
phased in over 5 years. The deduction percentage for 2007,
2008, and 2009 is 6%. The deduction is the applicable
percentage of the lesser of the qualified production activities
income (QPAI) of the taxpayer for the taxable year, or the

taxable income (determined without regard to section 199) for
the taxable year.
Written notice. In order for the patron to qualify for the
deduction, the cooperative is required to designate the patron’s
portion of the section 199 deduction in a written notice mailed to
the patron no later than the 15th day of the ninth month
following the close of the taxable year. The cooperative may
use the same written notice, if any, that it uses to notify patrons
of their respective allocations of patronage dividends, or may
use a separate timely written notice to comply with the written
notice requirement for this deduction.

Box 7. Investment Credit
Enter the total investment credit for the patron.

Box 8. Work Opportunity Credit
Enter the total work opportunity credit for the patron.

Box 9. Patron’s AMT Adjustment

dividend adjustment for the patron.
