General Instructions
Section references are to the
Internal Revenue Code.

Purpose of Form
Corporations use Form 8842 to elect
one of the two annualization options
that can be elected under section
6655(e)(2)(C) to figure the
corporation’s estimated tax
payments under the annualized
income installment method.

Who Can Elect
Corporations (including
S corporations) and partnerships
required to pay the withholding tax
under section 1446 use this form to
elect either Option 1 or Option 2
under the annualized income
installment method.

Title

If an organization wants to use the
annualized income installment
method but does not elect Option 1
or 2, it can annualize income using
the Standard Option. The Standard
Option can be used without filing
Form 8842. Corporations, see
Form 1120-W, Estimated Tax for
Corporations, for information on the
Standard Option. Partnerships, see
the instructions for Form 8804,
Annual Return for Partnership
Withholding Tax (Section 1446).
Tax-exempt organizations subject
to the unrelated business income tax
and private foundations should not
file Form 8842. For information
concerning the annualization periods
applicable to tax-exempt
organizations and private
foundations, see Form 990-W,
Estimated Tax on Unrelated
Business Taxable Income for
Tax-Exempt Organizations.

Date

When To File
● File Form 8842 annually to elect
Option 1 or 2 even if the same
option is elected each year.
● File Form 8842 by the 15th day of
the 4th month of the tax year for
which the election is to apply.
Note. The election applies only to
the tax year for which it is made.
Once the election is made, it cannot
be revoked for that tax year.

Where To File
● File Form 8842 with the Internal
Revenue Service Center where the
income tax return is filed.
See the Where To File instructions
for the appropriate Form 1120 series
forms or Form 8804.
