2025 PIT-B Instructions
GENERAL INFORMATION
This section gives general information about Schedule PIT-B, Schedule of New Mexico Allocation and Apportionment of Income. Detailed instructions for completing Schedule PIT-B start at "COMPLETING THE TOP OF PAGE 1" on page B-3. PIT-B is for taxpayers with income from sources both inside and outside New Mexico. Schedule PIT-B provides a credit against New Mexico tax equal to the New Mexico source income divided by total income everywhere. NOTE: Qualifying residents may be eligible to claim credit for taxes paid to another state. See instructions for PIT-1, line 20 for more information. New Mexico source income is derived by allocating and apportioning total income. If you have income from sources both inside and outside New Mexico, attach and submit Schedule PIT-B with your PIT-1 Return. For information about a married couple filing a joint return where one spouse, but not both, is a resident of a community property state, see "Information About Community and Separate Income" on page B-1. NOTE: When both spouses are residents of community property states, or both spouses are residents of non-community property states, the special allocation and apportionment rules do not require additional instructions. Residency Definitions On PIT-1 instructions after "Resident" on page PIT-1-4, you can find definitions of the following terms: • Resident • First-year resident • Part-year resident • Non-resident.
DEFINITIONS AND OTHER USEFUL INFORMATION
The following topics are described next to help you complete PIT-B: • Allocated income • Apportioned income • Community income • Information about community and separate income • Allocation of community and separate income • Income and residency of military servicemember's spouse. Allocated Income "Allocated income" means nonbusiness income reported on PIT-B, lines 1 to 7. Using the specific line instructions, base the allocation on either of the following: • The date you received the income (for example, wages, interest, or dividends of a first-year resident),or • The locatio n of the income-earning property or activity (for example, rent and royalty income). Apportioned Income "Apportioned income" means business and farm income you report on PIT-B, line 8. Business and farm income includes income reported on federal Schedules C, C-EZ, F, or other schedules that characterize income as business-related. Business income is apportioned based on the location of the income-earning property or activity. Community Income "Community income" is income from community property acquired by persons domiciled in a community property state during the marriage. It can be either: • nonbusiness income (example, wages, salaries, dividends, interest, royalties, or rents), or • business income (example, Schedule C gross receipts or farm income). Married Filing Jointly. When a couple files married filing jointly, all income and payments are combined and tax is computed on the sum of all community and separate income. Married Filing Separately. When a couple files married filing separately, each spouse reports 50% of community income and all income generated from the separate property of the spouse who owns the property. When a couple's income is not evenly divided, you must attach a statement showing the correct division of community and separate income and payments. When one spouse, but not both, resides in a community property state and the couple has income from sources both inside and outside New Mexico, special instructions for completing Schedule PIT-B are usually needed. For specifics and examples, see the next section.
INFORMATION ABOUT COMMUNITY AND SEPARATE INCOME
The laws of the state of domicile generally govern whether you have community property and community income-or separate property and separate income-for federal and state tax purposes. Community property states are New Mexico, Arizona, California, Idaho, Louisiana, Nevada, Texas, Washington, and Wisconsin. Because New Mexico is a community property state, all assets and liabilities acquired during a marriage are the community property of both spouses, unless the property is separate property. Allocation of Community and Separate Income When one spouse, but not both, is a resident of a community property state: INSTRUCTIONS FOR 2025 PIT-B
SCHEDULE OF NEW MEXICO ALLOCATION AND APPORTIONMENT OF INCOME
B-1 www.tax.newmexico.gov
• Half of the community income of the spouse who is a resident of a community property state is equally divided between both spouses, and • 100% of the separate income is treated as if it was the income of the spouse who owns the property. For your records, create a worksheet of each spouse's income. Divide the community income equally between each spouse and assign 100% of separate income to the spouse who owns the separate property. Then determine the New Mexico residency status of each spouse. Based on each spouse's New Mexico residency status, and using the line instructions, determine the correct allocation and apportionment rules to apply to the type of income for each spouse. Example 1. A New Mexico full-year resident and a Colorado resident (non-resident of New Mexico) are married and file a joint return. The New Mexico resident has wage income from employment in Texas. Because New Mexico is a community property state and the resident spouse is domiciled in New Mexico, the resident spouse's wage income is community property. Half the wage income from employment in Texas is the property of each spouse. The instructions for PIT-B, line 1, require that half of the New Mexico resident's wage income is allocated in full to New Mexico, even if the income was not earned in New Mexico. The non-resident spouse's share of the community wage income is not allocated to New Mexico, because the income is not from services performed in New Mexico. Example 2. Use the same facts as Example 1, except the wage income is the separate income of the New Mexico resident spouse due to a separation agreement. All wage income is allocated to New Mexico, because the spouse entitled to the benefit of the entire amount of wage income is a resident of New Mexico. The New Mexico resident must allocate this wage income according to the line instructions for a resident taxpayer on PIT-B, line 1. Example 3. Again, use the same facts as Example 1, except wages from employment in Texas were earned by the nonresident spouse who was domiciled in Texas. Because the non-resident spouse is domiciled in a community property state, the wage income is community property. When both spouses are residents of community property states or both spouses are residents of non-community property states, special allocation and apportionment rules are not needed. Half of the community income is allocated to New Mexico, based on the instructions for the resident spouse's share of the community income. The other half of the community income is not allocated to New Mexico, based on the instructions for the non-resident spouse's share of the community income. Example 4. If both spouses are residents of New Mexico, all community wage income is allocated to New Mexico. More Information about Community and Separate Income For general guidance in determining whether income is community income or separate income, see the following publication: • FYI-310, Community Property, Divorce, Separation, and Your New Mexico Income Tax and • Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Publication 555, Community Property. Publication FYI-310 is available at https://www.tax.newmexico.gov/forms-publications/. Select FYIs from the Publications folder. Open the 300 Series- Income Taxes folder to access FYI-310. Publication 555 is available on the IRS website at www.irs.gov. Military Servicemember's Spouse These instructions are effective beginning with tax year 2018. Income and Residency These rules apply to a military servicemember's spouse who moves to New Mexico solely to be with the servicemember who is in the state due to military orders. They may source their non-military wages, salaries, tips and other income from services performed to their chosen state of domicile instead of the state where the income is earned. For tax purposes, this can be either the domicile state that the servicemember claims or the state in which the servicemember's spouse has established domicile. The following restrictions apply to the servicemember and spouse: • The servicemember must have declared a "domicile for purposes of withholding state income taxes from military pay" in their state of domicile. • The servicemember must be in the new state due to military orders. • The servicemember's spouse must be in the new state solely to be with the military spouse. IMPORTANT: The servicemember continues to allocate nonmilitary income from services performed to the state where the income was earned. New Mexico Resident Spouses If you are a New Mexico resident who is a qualifying ser - vicemember's spouse living in another state, do both of the following: • Complete a New Mexico PIT-1 Return as a resident taxpayer. • Allocate wages, salaries, tips, and other income from services performed as if they were earned in New Mexico, even though you earned the income in another state. For details, see Form RPD-41348, Guidance for New Mexico Resident Military Spouses Claiming Relief From Another State's Income and Withholding Tax Requirements on the B-2 www.tax.newmexico.gov
Department website at https://www.tax.newmexico.gov/ forms-publications. Select the following items in this order: • Income Taxes, • Personal Income Tax (PIT) - Current Year, • Other PIT-Related Forms, then • RPD-41348 Guidance for New Mexico Resident Military Spouses Claiming Relief From Another State's Income and Withholding Tax Requirements Non-Resident Spouses If you are a non-resident of New Mexico who is a qualifying servicemember's spouse living in New Mexico, do all of the following: • Complete a New Mexico PIT-1 as a non-resident taxpayer. • Allocate income from services performed in New Mexico to the state of legal residency. • Mark the E or F box at the top of PIT-B to indicate status as primary taxpayer or spouse, and qualification for relief under the Military Spouse Residency Relief Act. Part-Year or First-Year Residents If you are a part-year or first-year New Mexico resident, who is a qualifying servicemember's spouse, allocate income from services performed in New Mexico to New Mexico during periods when you were a resident of New Mexico. If you are a military servicemember's spouse, eligible to claim an exempt New Mexico withholding status based on the Military Spouse Residency Relief Act, you must annually submit Form RPD-41348 to your employer or payor responsible for withholding New Mexico tax. Keep a copy, signed by the employer or payor, in your records. Do not submit RPD- 41348 with your PIT-1 unless the Department requests it. NOTE: Your employer or payor must sign a new RPD-41348 annually, or when your situation changes.

LINE INSTRUCTIONS AND COLUMNS
These instructions are intended to make it easier for you to complete the PIT-B. No instructions are given for lines that tell you to add, subtract, or perform similar actions. Each line instruction describes the allocation and apportionment rules for the type of income. References to Line Numbers on Federal Forms Line number references to federal forms are for your convenience. They are based on information available to the Department at the time these instructions go to print. Completing the Columns First complete column 1. You can usually take the amount from your federal return. Column 2 and Residency Status Because many amounts you enter in column 2 are determined by your residency status, make sure to use the correct residency status instructions. If you are filing a joint return, use the residency status instructions for you and your spouse. New Mexico residency status is defined on PIT-1 instructions, starting with "Definitions" on page PIT-1-4. You report your residency status on PIT-1, page 1, lines 1e and 2e. LINE INSTRUCTIONS FOR PAGE 1 Detailed instructions for each line are given here, along with specific information about columns. Section 1: Allocation of Nonbusiness Income LINE 1.

A qualifying New Mexico resident military servicemember's spouse may allocate income earned in another state to New Mexico by including the income in column 2. If you are a first-year resident or part-year resident who is a qualifying military servicemember's spouse, you may allocate income earned from services performed in another state to New Mexico during the part of the year you were a resident by including the income in column 2. During the part of the year you were a non-resident, allocate income earned in another state from services performed in that other state by excluding it from PIT-B, line 1, column 2. LINE 1a. If you used Form PIT-110, Adjustments to New Mexico Income, in the calculation of line 1, column 2, mark the box.
LINE 2. Nonbusiness interest and dividends
Line 2, Column 1 To calculate nonbusiness interest and dividends, follow these steps:
- Start with the amount of federal taxable interest on line 2b, and dividends on line 3b of federal Form 1040 or 1040SR.
- If you have municipal bond income, subtract the New
Mexico tax-exempt interest and dividends reported on PIT-ADJ, line 7, from the amount of federal tax-exempt dividends and interest reported on PIT-ADJ, line 1.
- Add the amounts from steps 1 and 2.
- Enter the result in line 2, column 1.
Line 2, Column 2 Refer to Table B-2. Nonbusiness interest and dividends Column 2. Definition of Commercial Domicile "Commercial domicile" means the principal place from which the trade or business of the taxpayer is directed or managed as defined in 7-4-2(B) NMSA 1978. EXAMPLE. A taxpayer with nonbusiness interest and dividends derived from a 1099-INT in another state, who is considered a resident, first-year resident, or part-year resident is required to allocate the nonbusiness income to New Mexico as described above on PIT-B, line 3, column 2. NOTE: Business interest on dividends should be allocated and apportioned on PIT-B, line 6 or line 8, column 2. LINE 3. Pensions, annuities, social security, and lumpsum distributions Line 3, Column 1 From your federal Form 1040 or 1040SR return, enter the total amount of taxable IRA distributions on line 4b, taxable pensions and annuities on line 5b, and taxable social security on line 6b. Include ordinary income and lump-sum distributions on line 11, as reported on federal Form 4972, Tax on Lump-Sum Distributions. Line 3, Column 2 Refer to Table B-3. Pensions, annuities, social security, and lump-sum distributions Column 2. NOTE: Effective for retirement income received after December 31, 1995, federal law prohibits any state from imposing an income tax on certain retirement income (primarily pension income) of an individual unless that person is a resident of or domiciled in the state imposing the tax. For example, if you receive a pension from your former California employer, but you established your domicile in New Mexico, California may not impose its income tax on that retirement income. New Mexico may impose its income tax on your retirement income, because you are a New Mexico resident. LINE 4. Rents and royalties All taxpayers with income from real property (including rents and royalties from oil and gas interests), tangible personal Table B-2. Nonbusiness interest and dividends Column 2. Residency Instruction Resident New Mexico residents must allocate in full to New Mexico all amounts of nonbusiness interest and dividends on PIT-B, line 2, column 1. If you are a resident and you paid tax on that income to another state, you may claim a non-refundable credit for the tax paid to the other state on that income. To calculate the credit for taxes paid to another state, see "Credit for Taxes Paid to Another State" on page PIT-1-13 of the PIT-1 instructions. First-year resident Enter the amount of nonbusiness interest and dividends you received after establishing your residence in New Mexico. To determine when you received nonbusiness interest and dividends, use the date they were payable. Part-year resident Enter the amount of nonbusiness interest and dividends you received while a resident of New Mexico. To determine when you received nonbusiness interest and dividends, use the date they were payable Non-resident Non-residents with no commercial domicile in New Mexico, enter zero. If you operate a business with a commercial domicile in New Mexico, allocate to New Mexico any nonbusiness interest and dividend income from your New Mexico operations. B-5 www.tax.newmexico.gov
property, or intangibles located or used in New Mexico must allocate and apportion the income or loss based on the location of the income-earning property. Intangibles are listed next and definitions for the use of copyrights and patents follow, along with an example. Intangibles are the following: • Copyrights; • Patents; • Franchises; • Trademarks; and • Licenses. Copyright. A copyright is used in New Mexico when printing or other production takes place in New Mexico. Patent. A patent is used in New Mexico when it is employed in production, fabrication, manufacturing, or other processing in New Mexico or when a patented product is produced in New Mexico. EXAMPLE. If rental property is located in New Mexico, include the income on PIT-B, line 4, column 2. If you report income from real property, tangible personal property, or intangibles on federal Schedule C or similar business income schedules, show that income on PIT-B, line 8, not line 4. Line 4, Column 1 Enter the net amount of rents and royalties from your federal Schedule E. Line 4, Column 2 All taxpayers. Start with the net amount of rents and royalties from all of the following New Mexico sources: • Rents from real property located in New Mexico • Rents from tangible personal property located or used in New Mexico • Income from royalties and working interests in oil and gas producing properties located in New Mexico • Income from patents, copyrights, franchises, trademarks, and licenses used in New Mexico In addition to these sources, residents allocate income from intangible and tangible personal property used in another state if the New Mexico resident is not subject to tax on the income in the other state. First-year residents and partyear residents allocate the income described above to New Mexico if the income was earned during a part of the year that the individual was a resident of New Mexico. Allocating rental or royalty income on tangible personal property. If you do not know the extent to which tangible personal property was used in New Mexico, follow these steps to calculate the entry for line 4, column 2:
- Find these numbers to use in your calculation:
• Number of days the property was physically located in New Mexico during the rental or royalty period • Number of days the property was physically located everywhere during the rental or royalty period • Total amount of rents and royalties received for the tax year
- Divide the days in New Mexico by the days everywhere. This gives you the percentage of time the property was located in New Mexico.
- Multiply the total rents and royalties received for the tax year by the percentage in step 2.
- Enter the step 3 result on line 4, column 2.
EXAMPLE. An out-of-state taxpayer rents a drilling rig to a New Mexico taxpayer. The drilling rig is in New Mexico for 90 days. The rig is rented for a total of 270 days during the tax year in several states. The total rents and royalties everywhere are $25,000,000. The calculation for the line 4, column 2 entry is shown next. 90 days located in NM ÷ 270 total days everywhere = 33.3% percent of time in NM x $25,000,000 rents/royalties everywhere The result is the rent and royalty income allocable to New Mexico. Enter this amount on line 4, column 2. Table B-3. Pensions, annuities, social security, and lump-sum distributions Column 2. Residency Instruction Resident New Mexico residents must allocate in full to New Mexico all amounts of pensions, annuities, social security, and lump-sum distributions on PIT-B, line 3, column 1. If you are a resident and you paid tax on that income to another state, you may claim a non-refundable credit for the tax paid to the other state on that income. To calculate the credit for taxes paid to another state, see "Credit for Taxes Paid to Another State" on page PIT-1-13 of the PIT-1 instructions. First-year resident Add the following and enter the total: • Pension and annuity amounts you received after establishing residence in New Mexico, plus • The ordinary income portion of any lump-sum distribution from federal Form 4972 you earned the right to receive while a New Mexico resident. Part-year resident Add the following and enter the total: • The portion of pensions and annuities you received while you were a resident of New Mexico, plus • The ordinary income portion of any lump-sum distribution from federal Form 4972 you earned the right to receive while a New Mexico resident. Non-resident Enter zero. Pension and annuity income of a non-resident are not allocated to New Mexico. B-6 www.tax.newmexico.gov
What to do in special cases. If you cannot determine the location of the tangible personal property during the rental or royalty period, enter the rental or royalty income from those in New Mexico to whom the property was delivered. On line 4, column 2, enter the total rental or royalty income for the tangible personal property shown in line 4, column 1. If you are a resident of New Mexico, or if the business deriving the income has a commercial domicile in New Mexico, you may come across these situations: • The basis for earnings from intangibles used in New Mexico and elsewhere does not permit allocation to a definite state. • The accounting procedures do not clearly show the state or states where the intangible was used. In either of these situations, enter the total income from all intangibles. LINE 5. Gains or losses from the sale or exchange of property Line 5, Column 1 Enter the net amount of gains or losses from the sale or exchange of property from your federal Schedule 1. All taxpayers with income from the sale or exchange of property allocate and apportion the income or loss on line 5, column 1, based on the location of the income-earning property or activity. If a gain is realized on the sale of real property located in New Mexico, include the income in column 2. Line,5, Column 2 Enter the net amount of a gain or loss from the sale or exchange of any of the following: • Real property located in New Mexico; • Tangible personal property located in New Mexico at the time of sale; • Tangible personal property located in another state at the time of sale, if the taxpayer is a New Mexico resident or part-year resident (see the residency definitions in PIT- 1 instructions); • Tangible personal property of a business located in another state at the time of sale when the taxpayer is not subject to tax in that state, the taxpayer's commercial domicile is in New Mexico, and the income is not subject to apportionment on line 8; and • Intangible personal property, if the taxpayer is a New Mexico resident, part-year resident, or has a commercial domicile in New Mexico, and the income is not subject to apportionment on line 8. LINE 6. Income or losses from pass-through entities Use this line to allocate and apportion to New Mexico income or losses from pass-through entities and trusts. Allocate distributions of ordinary income (losses) to partners, members or owners of partnerships, limited liability companies, and Sub-Chapter S corporations, based on where the incomeproducing activities occur. Business interest and dividends should be allocated and apportioned on this line. NOTE: Nonbusiness interest and dividends should be allocated and apportioned on PIT-B, line 2. Distributions of ordinary income or losses to partners, members, or owners of partnerships, limited liability companies, and Sub-Chapter S corporations are allocated on PIT-B, line 6, based on where the income producing activities occur. Distributions of other nonbusiness income is allocated on the remainder of PIT-B, based on the type of income and the residency status of the partner, member, or owner. NOTE: Federal Schedules E and K-1 may include income from both business and non-business sources. New Mexico does not have a form equivalent to Schedule K-1. Each partnership, S corporation, estate, trust, or similar pass-through entity usually provides a statement or report showing the correct allocation, apportionment, and distribution of income to members, partners, shareholders, or beneficiaries for their records. Line 6, Column 1 From your federal Schedule E, enter your share of income or losses from pass-through entities, including partnerships, S corporations, estates, trusts, or limited liability companies. EXAMPLE. A taxpayer with business interest and dividends derived from a K-1 from another state would allocate that income on PIT-B, line 6, column 1 because the income is considered business related income. Line 6, Column 2 Use the information from the pass-through entity or trust to complete this column. Enter the portion of column 1 income allocated and apportioned to New Mexico by the pass-through entity or the trust. NOTE: Amounts reported on this line should include business interest and dividends allocable to New Mexico if the taxpayer's commercial domicile is in New Mexico. NOTE: All income that a pass-through entity or a trust allocates or apportions to New Mexico is taxable in New Mexico. Income from pass-through entities and trusts must be allocated or apportioned under the Uniform Division of Income for Tax Purposes Act (UDITPA). If the pass-through entity or trust does not provide the necessary New Mexico apportionment percentages or information necessary to calculate a percentage, New Mexico presumes that all distributive amounts from the pass-through entity or trust is New Mexico-source income. NOTE: If a New Mexico resident is required to allocate 100% of their income to New Mexico based on the above presumption, a Credit for Taxes Paid to another state may be taken. See PIT-1, Line 20 instructions for more information.
B-7 www.tax.newmexico.gov
LINE 7. All other income not included in lines 1 through 6 and line 8 Line 7, Column 1 Enter the total of all other income shown on your federal Schedule 1, line 8 and not reported in another section of PIT-B. Do not enter business and farm income reported on line 8. IMPORTANT: Do not enter a net operating loss carryforward on PIT-B, line 7. Line 7, Column 2 Refer to Table B-7. All other income not included in lines 1 though 6 and line 8 Column 2. IMPORTANT: You may not offset income from gambling winnings from a New Mexico source with gambling losses on PIT-B. Regardless of your residency status, you must report gambling winnings from a New Mexico source. NOTE: Income from unemployment compensation is allocated to the recipient's state of residence at the time the payment was received, regardless of the state paying the unemployment compensation benefit. Section 2: Apportionment of Business and Farm Income LINE 8. Business and farm income To apportion income from business and farm sources, use the Worksheet for Apportionment of Business and Farm Income on PIT-B, page 2. New Mexico uses an evenly weighted three-factor formula for all taxpayers, with these exceptions: • Certain electing manufacturers allowed an optional formula to have their business income apportioned to New Mexico using a single weighted sales factor, or • Businesses allowed or required to eliminate one or more factors because the three-factor formula does not fairly represent the extent of their business activity in New Mexico. For more information, see "INSTRUCTIONS FOR PAGE 2, WORKSHEET FOR APPORTIONMENT OF BUSINESS AND FARM INCOME" on page B-9. Line 8, Column 1 Enter the total business and/or farm income reported on your federal Schedules C, F, or other similar schedules. Line 8, Column 2 If all of your income in column 1 is from New Mexico sources, enter the entire amount in column 2. If none of your income in column 1 is from New Mexico sources, enter zero. If you have income from a farm or business earned in New Mexico and one or more other states, follow these steps:
- Complete the worksheet on PIT-B, page 2, lines 1 to 5.
- Multiply the amount on PIT-B, line 8, column 1 by the decimal amount on the worksheet, line 5.
- Enter the result on PIT-B, line 8, column 2.

Three-Factor Apportionment Formula New Mexico uses an evenly weighted three-factor appor - tionment formula. The three factors are property, payroll, and sales. B-9 www.tax.newmexico.gov
property factor + payroll factor + sales factor The three-factor formula is for all taxpayers except for the following exclusions: • Exclusion 1. Qualifying manufacturers who elect to use the special manufacturers apportionment formula, or • Exclusion 2. A taxpayer whose principal business activity in New Mexico is a headquarters operation and who elects to use the single weighted sales factor apportionment formula, or • Exclusion 3. Allowed or required to eliminate one or more factors because the three-factor formula does not fairly represent the extent of their business activity in New Mexico. Each exclusion is described next as Exclusions 1, 2 and 3. Exclusion 1 Electing Manufacturers Apportionment Formula Taxpayers whose principal activity is manufacturing may elect to use a special apportionment formula. For tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2014, the election allows taxpayers to apportion the business income to New Mexico using a single weighted calculation by dividing total sales within New Mexico by total everywhere sales. On or after January 1, 2020, if eighty percent or more of the New Mexico numerators of the property and payroll factors for a filing group, or for a taxpayer that is not a member of a filing group, are employed in manufacturing or operating a computer processing facility, the filing group or the taxpayer may elect to have business income apportioned to this state by multiplying the income by the sales factor for the taxable year. The statutory authority for this elective method is in Section 7-4-10(B) NMSA 1978. Definition of Manufacturing "Manufacturing" means combining or processing components or materials to increase their value for sale in the ordinary course of business, but does not include: a. construction; b. farming; c. power generation; provided that "manufacturing" includes electricity generation at a facility that does not require location approval and a certificate of convenience and necessity prior to commencing construction or operation of the facility pursuant to the Public Utility Act; d. processing natural resources, including hydrocarbons; or e. processing or preparation of meals for immediate consumption. How to Make the Election To elect to use the manufacturers apportionment formula, you must notify the Department in writing no later than the filing date of the first return to which your election applies. Submit your notification to make your election or to terminate your election to: CIT Correspondence Unit P.O. Box 630 Santa Fe, NM 87504-0630 For assistance, call (505) 827-0825 or toll free: (866) 809- 2335, option 2. Or, e-mail: CIT.taxreturnhelp@tax.nm.gov Election Period: If the election is made for taxable years beginning prior to January 1, 2020, it applies to the taxable year in which the election is made and to each taxable year thereafter for three years, or until the taxable year ending prior to January 1, 2020, whichever is earlier. Elections made for a taxable year beginning on or after January 1, 2020, apply to the taxable year in which the election is made and to each taxable year thereafter until the taxpayer notifies the department, in writing, that the election is terminated, except that the taxpayer shall not terminate the election until the method of apportioning business income has been used by the taxpayer for at least three consecutive taxable years, including a total of at least thirty-six calendar months. Exclusion 2 Electing Headquarters Operation Apportionment Formula Taxpayers whose principal business activity in New Mexico is a headquarters operation may elect to use a single weighted sales factor apportionment formula. For tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2014, the election allows the taxpayer to apportion the business income to New Mexico using a single weighted calculation by dividing total sales within New Mexico by total everywhere sales. On or after January 1, 2020, if a filing group, or a taxpayer that is not a member of a filing group, has a headquarters operation in New Mexico, the filing group or the taxpayer may elect to have business income apportioned to this state by multiplying the income by the sales factor for the taxable year. The statutory authority for this elective method is in Section 7-4-10(C) NMSA 1978. Definition of Headquarters Operation "Headquarters operation" means:
- the center of operations of a business: a. where corporate staff employees are physically employed; b. where centralized functions are performed, includ - ing administrative, planning, managerial, human resources, purchasing, information technology and accounting, but not including a call center; c. the function and purpose of which is to manage and direct most aspects and regional headquarters if the national headquarters is subordinate only to the ownership of the business or its representatives and the regional headquarters is subordinate to the national headquarters; or
- the center of operations of a business:

The percentage factors for property and pay - roll are not included in the calculation of the Average New Mexico Percentage. Compute the sales factor on line 3. Transfer the amount in line 3 to line 5. Exclusion 3 Eliminating one or more factors. If the allocation and apportionment provisions of the Uniform Division of Income for Tax Purposes Act do not fairly represent the extent of your business activity in New Mexico, an election may be made for, or the Department may require, the exclusion of any one or more insignificant factors. A factor is considered insignificant if column 1 (the denominator) is less than 3% of net income. Top of Worksheet Enter the primary taxpayer's social security number, the name of the business for which you are completing this worksheet, and either the FEIN (Federal Employer Identification Number) or NMBTIN (New Mexico Business Tax Identifications Number).
PROPERTY FACTOR
The property factor is based on the average value of real and tangible personal property you owned or rented and used in New Mexico for the production of business or farm income during the tax period. LINE 1a. To determine the average value of real and tangible personal property, use the following rules: • Property you owned during the tax period is valued at its original cost. Original cost is the basis of the property for federal income tax purposes (before federal adjustments) at the time you acquired the property. This cost is adjusted by subsequent capital additions, improvements, or partial dispositions. • Property you rented from others and used for business or farm purposes is valued at eight times the net annual rental rate. The net annual rental rate is the annual rent you paid, less any annual rent you received from subrentals of the same property. • Determine the average value of property by adding the total value of property you held at the beginning of the tax period to the total value of property held at the end of the tax period. Then divide by two. • You may calculate an average value on a monthly basis. If the Department determines that a monthly average is necessary to correctly reflect the average value of your property, the Department may require you to calculate an average value on a monthly basis Column 1 Enter the average value of property for everywhere, including New Mexico. IMPORTANT: If column 1 is blank or zero (0), the Department apportions 100% of the income to New Mexico. Column 2 Enter the average value of property for New Mexico only. LINE 1b. The property factor is a percentage. To calculate the percentage divide line 1a, column 2 by line 1a, column 1. Amount in Line 1a, Column 2 Amount in Line 1a, Column 1 *Round each percentage to four decimal places (example: 26.6270%) NOTE: Residents who use their homes in any way in a business or farm operation have a property factor in New Mexico. B-11 www.tax.newmexico.gov
PAYROLL FACTOR
The payroll factor is based on the amount of compensation you paid. LINE 2a. If any one of the following conditions is present, compensation was paid in New Mexico: • The employee's service was performed entirely in New Mexico. • The employee's service was performed both inside and outside New Mexico, but service performed outside New Mexico was incidental to service performed inside New Mexico. • Some of the employee's service was performed in New Mexico, and New Mexico was the base of operations or the place from which the service was directed or controlled. • Some of the employee's service was performed in New Mexico, and the employee was a resident of New Mexico during the tax period. In this case, it does not matter if some of the employee's service was performed in another state that was the base of operations or the place from which the service was directed or controlled. LINE 2b. The payroll factor is a percentage determined by dividing the amount in column 2 by the amount in column 1, Amount in Column 2 Amount in Column 1 • Column 1 is the total amount paid as compensation to employees everywhere during the tax period. • Column 2 is the total amount paid as compensation to employees in New Mexico during the tax period.
SALES FACTOR
"Sales" means all gross receipts from transactions and activities in the regular course of business. "Gross receipts" means all income from transactions and activities in the regular course of business including income from licensing intangible personal property. Sales of tangible personal property are New Mexico sales if either of the following is true.
