Form 8328 (Rev. 9-2011)

General Instructions
Section references are to the Internal Revenue Code unless otherwise
noted.

Purpose of Form
Form 8328 is filed by the issuing authority of private activity bonds to
elect to carry forward its unused volume cap for one or more
carryforward purposes (see section 146(f)). If the election is made,
bonds issued with respect to a specified carryforward purpose are not
subject to the volume cap under section 146(a) during the 3 calendar
years following the calendar year in which the carryforward arose, but
only to the extent that the amount of such bonds does not exceed the
amount of the carryforward elected for that purpose.
Also, Form 8328 is used by a state to carry forward the unused
volume cap under section 142(k). A state may elect to carry forward an
unused limitation for any calendar year for 3 calendar years following the
calendar year in which the unused limitation arose under rules similar to
the rules of section 146(f). However, this election can only be made for
the issuance of qualified public educational facility bonds. For
definitions related to qualified public educational facilities, see section
142(k).

When To File
Form 8328 must be filed by the earlier of: (1) February 15 of the
calendar year following the year in which the excess amount arises, or
(2) the date of issue of bonds issued pursuant to the carryforward
election.
Once Form 8328 is filed, the issuer may not revoke the carryforward
election or amend the carryforward amounts shown on this form.
Errors on this form cannot be corrected through an amended filing.
The issuer may file a Voluntary Closing Agreement Program (VCAP)
request to correct mathematical, typographical, and similar errors. See
Notice 2008-31, 2008-11 I.R.B. 592, and IRM 7.2.3 for more
information about VCAP.

Where To File
File Form 8328 with the Department of the Treasury, Internal Revenue
Service Center, Ogden, UT 84201.
