243(a)(1) and (c)(1). There was no change made to the 100 percent dividends-received deduction for dividend income received from 80 percent or more owned domestic corporations.

1. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 amended Section 163(j) of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code").

Pennsylvania Corporation Tax Bulletin 2019-03 provides guidance on how the federal limitations imposed by the amended Section 163(j) are treated for Pennsylvania Corporate Net Income Tax ("CNIT") purposes. Act 45 of 2025 provides that for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2024 taxable income will be calculated using Section 163(j) of the IRC in effect on Dec. 31, 2024.

# PENNSYLVANIA CORPORATE NET INCOME TAX REPORT

INSTRUCTIONS FOR FORM RCT-101

# GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS FEDERAL S CORPORATIONS

The Capital Stock/Foreign Franchise tax has been phased out for tax years beginning on or after Jan. 1, 2016. However, PA S Corporations that have built-in-gains are required to file RCT-101.
Any federal subchapter S corporation that does not desire to be a Pennsylvania S corporation must file the REV-976, Election Not to be Taxed as a Pennsylvania S Corporation, on or before the due date or extended due date of the report for the first year in which the election is to be in effect. This election must be signed by all of the shareholders and once made cannot be revoked for five years. The completed REV-976 must be submitted via fax or email to:
Fax: 717-787-3708
Email: ra-btftregisfax@pa.gov
To revoke an election not to be taxed as a PA S Corporation, the corporation must send a letter signed by shareholders holding more than one-half of the shares of stock of the corporation on the day on which the revocation is made. This letter must contain the name of the corporation, FEIN, and the effective date of the revocation. If no effective date is provided, the revocation will be effective for the first tax period for which the revocation was timely submitted. In the case of a corporation with qualified subchapter S subsidiaries, the letter must also include the names and FEINs of all qualified subchapter S subsidiaries doing business in Pennsylvania.
Qualified subchapter S subsidiaries may not be Pennsylvania S corporations, or elect not to be Pennsylvania S corporations, separate from the parent corporation. Federal subchapter S corporations doing business in Pennsylvania that do not make this election are required to file the PA-20S/PA-65, and the shareholders of these corporations must report the income from these corporations on their PA personal income tax returns.
IMPORTANT: This election must be filed by all federal subchapter S corporations that do not want to be taxed as Pennsylvania S corporations, regardless of any prior actions taken by a corporation on this issue.
If a corporation has elected to be taxed as an S corporation for federal tax purposes, but has elected not to be taxed as a PA S corporation, it must: (1) complete Section C of RCT-101, (2) include a copy of federal Form 1120S with the PA Corporate Net Income Tax Report, and (3) include a schedule reflecting adjustments to Line 21 of federal Form 1120S for the pass-through items on Schedule K, Shareholders' Share of Income, Credits, Deductions, etc. These adjustments should produce taxable income similar to that for a C corporation and must be reported in Section C, Line 1 of the RCT-101.

# INACTIVE CORPORATIONS

must complete and file form RCT-101-I. Only skeleton corporations - those performing no business activity and owning no assets anywhere - may use the RCT-101-I. Corporations that have business activity outside Pennsylvania must complete and file the RCT-101, PA Corporate Net Income Tax Report. A copy of federal Form 1120 must be included and apportionment fractions must be reported.
CAUTION: Prior period forms are not acceptable. Do not use forms for other years when filing an RCT-101, PA Corporate Net Income Tax Report, or an RCT-101-I, Inactive PA Corporate Net Income Tax Report.

DECLARATION OF DE MINIMIS PA ACTIVITY
IMPORTANT: The RCT -101D can now be filed electronically at mypath.pa.gov.
RCT-101D is only for use by non-Pennsylvania corporations. Solicitation only corporations, as well as corporations with more than $500,000 in Pennsylvania sourced gross receipts, but claiming exemption from the corporate net income tax, should complete and file the RCT-101. Such entities should, as appropriate, include the REV-986 and/or any statements necessary to properly explain their position(s) that insufficient activity took place in Pennsylvania to establish constitutional nexus. See Page 5 for additional details.
A non-Pennsylvania corporation whose Pennsylvania activities are not protected by P.L. 86-272, but whose activities are considered de minimis as outlined in Tax Bulletin 2004-01, is not required to file a complete RCT-101. Instead, such a corporation may file RCT-101D, affirming that PA activity during that period is de minimis. In filing RCT-101D a corporation is reminded of the following:

1. RCT-101D is not a tax report. For this reason the statute of limitations regarding the assessment of tax does not apply to RCT-101D.
2. For a taxpayer to realize any tax benefits from a year the taxpayer filed RCT-101D, the taxpayer will be required to file a complete RCT-101 for each year, beginning with the year the benefit is generated through the year the benefit is to be used.
3. In cases where the taxpayer files RCT-101D and later files RCT-101, the taxpayer will be liable for all taxes due for these periods.

Applicable interest will also be imposed from the original due date of the report to the date the taxes are paid. The imposition of late filing penalties will be based on the filing date of the RCT-101D. Tax Bulletin 2004-1 is available on the PA Department of Revenue website at revenue.pa.gov.
CONFIRMATION OF "DEPOSITS ON ACCOUNT" FOR A

# NON-FILED TAX YEAR

Prior to filing a PA Corporate Net Income Tax Report, taxpayers can confirm the total amount of deposits on account by logging into their myPATH account at mypath.pa.gov.

# ELECTRONIC PAYMENT REQUIREMENT

The PA Departments of Treasury and Revenue have implemented programs that enable taxpayers to pay certain taxes electronically. All payments of $1,000 or more must be made electronically or by certified or cashier's check remitted in person or by express mail courier. Electronic payments can be made by visiting mypath.pa.gov and registering your account.

Failure to make a payment by an approved method will result in the imposition of a 3 percent penalty of the tax due, up to $500. For information on electronic filing options, visit the Online Services Center at revenue.pa.gov.
IMPORTANT: If paying by certified or cashier's check, mail check and coupon to:

PA DEPARTMENT OF REVENUE
PO BOX 280404
HARRISBURG PA 17128-0404

# DUE DATE OF REPORT AND PAYMENT

The RCT-101, PA Corporate Net Income Tax Report, is due on or before the 15th day of the month following the due date of the return to the Federal Government for both calendar and fiscal year filers. Domestic International Sales Companies (DISC) must file on or before the 15th day of the 10th month following the close of the fiscal year. If the due date falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or holiday, the report is due the next business day.

# FILING REQUIREMENTS

First reports of domestic corporations must begin with the date of incorporation. All domestic corporations are required to file annual reports even if no business activity was conducted during the taxable period.
First reports of foreign corporations must begin with the beginning date of the fiscal period in which the Certificate of Authority was issued or the date Pennsylvania activity began, whichever date is earlier.
All corporations are required to file annual reports even if no business activity was conducted within the commonwealth during the tax period.
OUT-OF-EXISTENCE/WITHDRAWAL
A PA corporation that has ceased doing business and completely or totally divested itself of ALL assets, or a foreign corporation that has ceased to do business in Pennsylvania and liquidated all PA assets may be relieved of the responsibility of filing corporate tax reports by indicating Final Report on Page 1, Step C of the RCT-101.
By completing this section of RCT-101, a corporate taxpayer wishing to be removed from the active records of the PA Department of Revenue will no longer be required to file the Out of Existence/Withdrawal Affidavit.
However, taxpayers desiring to dissolve or formally withdraw with the Department of State are still required to file a REV-181, Application for Tax Clearance Certificate.
To qualify for out-of-existence or withdrawn status, the corporation must:

1. File all corporate tax reports and pay all taxes due the commonwealth up to and including the date of cessation of activities and divestiture of assets. Where capital assets have been sold prior to liquidation, complete in detail a schedule reflecting the gain or loss realized as a result of the sale.
2. Include with the corporate tax reports a REV-861, Schedule DA, Disposition of Assets, which must reflect the date or dates of divestiture of all assets. Where a distribution of assets is made directly by the corporation to its shareholders in return for their stock, include with the "Distribution of Assets," a copy of federal Form 1099-DIV.

CAUTION: Failure to submit the "Distribution of Assets" could delay the acceptance of the return as a final report resulting in continued corporate tax reporting requirements. Corporate taxpayers reporting the disposition of PA real estate must provide evidence that the transfer of title has been filed with the Recorder of Deeds of the respective county. This information must be provided in order to be removed from the active records of the Department of Revenue.
PA corporations that never transacted business or held title to assets, or foreign corporations that never transacted business in Pennsylvania, are required to file annual tax reports until they file final returns and qualify for out-of-existence or withdrawn status. Such inactive corporations should mail the executed REV-238, Out-of-Existence/Withdrawal Affidavit directly to:

PA DEPARTMENT OF REVENUE
BUREAU OF COMPLIANCE
OUT OF EXISTENCE/MERGER SECTION
PO BOX 280947
HARRISBURG PA 17128-0947

# FILING PERIOD

Reports must be filed on the same filing basis as reported to the federal government. Where a change in filing period has occurred, the taxpayer must provide the new month, day, and year by electronically filing REV-854 at mypath.pa.gov, via fax to 717-787-3708, or email to ra-btftregisfax@pa.gov. Indicate a permanent change in filing period on the RCT-101 (Page 1, Step C).

# EXTENSION OF TIME TO FILE

A request for an extension of time to file must be submitted on or before the due date of the PA Corporate Net Income Tax Report.
Taxpayers granted an extension to file the federal income tax return will automatically be granted an extension to file RCT-101, PA Corporate Net Income Tax Report. Corporate taxpayers granted a federal extension must include a copy of the federal extension request with the report.
Corporations that do not request an extension to file the federal income tax return may still request a 60-day extension to file the PA Corporate Net Income Tax Report. The extension must be filed on or before the due date of the report. You can request an extension on mypath.pa.gov or by sending the REV-853.
You may also use REV-853 to make an annual tax payment with the extension request. If the taxes total more than $1,000, you must make the required payment by an electronic payment method. (Refer to Electronic Payment Requirement.) All payments of $1,000 or more must be made electronically or by certified or cashier's check remitted in person or by express mail courier.

# PENALTIES IMPOSED FOR FAILURE TO FILE REPORTS WHEN DUE

If a report is filed late, the taxpayer should wait until assessed by the department to remit the penalty amount. Interest does not accrue on penalties. Do not include penalty with tax amounts reported on form RCT-101.
The penalty imposed for failure to file reports when due is now a minimum of $500, regardless of the determined tax liability, plus an additional one percent of any determined tax liability over $25,000.

# INTEREST

is charged on late payments received after the due date of a tax report. Taxpayers should not precalculate interest or include interest with the tax amount reported on the RCT-101 (Section C, Line 16). The department will forecast interest on unpaid tax balances and provide a notice to the taxpayer. Taxpayers may request a payoff of unpaid balances (that includes interest on unpaid tax and collection agency fees, if applicable) by emailing RA-CORP_ACC_FAX@pa.gov.

# ASSIGNMENT OF TAX CREDIT

Department regulation (61 Pa. Code 151.21-151.22) provides authorization for taxpayers to assign a credit to another taxpayer. To accomplish the assignment, the Department of Revenue requires both assignor and assignee to complete REV-774, Assignment of Tax Credit.
Only credits that meet the following conditions can be assigned:
● All taxes (corporate, sales/use, employer withholding, liquid fuels, etc), interest, penalties, fees, and additions to tax owed by the taxpayer (assignor) must be paid in full.
Email RA-CORP_ACC_FAX@pa.gov if you have questions regarding credit assignment or to request the REV-774 Assignment of Tax Credit
Form. The form can also be found at revenue.pa.gov.
Email REV-774 directly to RA-CORP_ACC_FAX@pa.gov.

# ASSIGNMENT OF RESTRICTED TAX CREDITS

Certain restricted tax credits (credits originating from special credit programs) may be sold or assigned.
For information regarding the sale or assignment of restricted tax credits, please refer to Restricted Tax Credit Bulletin 2024-01 by visiting revenue.pa.gov/taxcredits.
Tax questions regarding the sale or assignment of restricted tax credits may be directed to the Department of Revenue at 717-772-3896 or ra-rvtaxcredits@pa.gov.

# AMENDED REPORTS

must be filed when requesting the Department of
Revenue to adjust the corporate net income taxes for a particular year.
Phone calls and/or letters submitted to the department are not acceptable and will not be considered an amended report.
Amended reports filed for tax years beginning on or after Jan. 1, 2016, must be filed on the revised, year-specific, four page RCT-101. Taxpayers must complete all sections of the report; this includes those sections originally filed and those sections being amended. The apportionment must be completed with the factors as originally filed or being amended.
This must be numeric with a numerator and a denominator present. If no activity anywhere, the numerator must be "0" and the denominator must be "1". The amended report check box under Step C, Page 1 of RCT-101 must be checked and REV-1175 must be included with the report.
The taxpayer has three (3) years after the due date of the original report to file an amended report. If the original report was properly extended, then the taxpayer has three (3) years after the extended due date to file an amended report. When filing the amended report the taxpayer must consent to an assessment period of three years from the filing of the original report or one year from the filing of the amended report, whichever expires last. If you fail to provide such consent the department might not consider the amended report. This consent to extend the assessment period is included as part of the affirmation statement on Page 4 of RCT-101. Per Act 84 of 2016, the department will have one year from the date the amended report is filed to notify the taxpayer if the changes are accepted. If the taxpayer is not notified within one year, the report is deemed accepted. If, after reviewing the amended report, the department determines the tax liability reflected on the taxpayer's PA corporate tax account is incorrect, an adjustment may be made to the liability or the department may reject the amended report.
An amended report should only be filed if an original RCT-101, PA Corporate Net Income Tax Report, was previously filed for the same tax period. An amended report must contain documentation to support the adjustment(s).
All amended tax reports must include REV-1175, Schedule AR, which includes a detailed explanation of the reason for filing the amended report and a summary of the change to the tax liability. In completing the Summary of Tax Change, enter the corporate net income tax; the tax liability currently reflected on the taxpayer's account; the amended tax liability; and the amount of change in the tax.
When filing an amended RCT-101, the tax liability in Section C, Line 16 should reflect the amended liability. Section D, Line 3, Estimated Payments and Credits on Deposit, must reflect the payments and credits on the account at the time the amended report is filed. Section D, Line 4, Restricted Credits, must report the restricted credits the taxpayer is entitled to based on the filing of the amended report.
Amended reports cannot be filed for the following:

1. To challenge PA statute or regulations.
2. To challenge department policy or interpretation of statutes or regulations.
3. For the sole purpose of claiming the report is a final report.

IMPORTANT: REV-238 or REV-181 must also be filed.

1. To change or correct taxpayer information electronically such as the FEIN, the taxpayer must file the REV-854 electronically at mypath.pa.gov, via fax to 717-787-3708, or email to ra-btftregisfax@pa.gov.
2. To change the end of the tax year. (A new original report must be filed including an explanation why the original tax year end was incorrect).

IMPORTANT: The filing of an amended PA Corporate Net Income Tax Report does not replace the filing of a petition, nor does it extend a corporate taxpayer's time to file an appeal.
The department is not obligated to revise tax due the commonwealth upon review of an amended report. Its failure to revise tax due the commonwealth is not an appealable action and will not change any existing appeal rights of the taxpayer.
RCT-128C - CHANGES IN FEDERAL TAXABLE INCOME/REPORTS

# OF CHANGE

Changes in federal taxable income must be reported to the department within the statutory period to report the change. This includes changes in federal taxable income resulting from the taxpayer filing an amended federal income tax return and changes initiated by the federal government due to an audit or examination of the federal return. For tax years beginning prior to Jan. 1, 2013, changes in federal taxable income must be reported to the department within 30 days of the change. This has been extended to six months for tax years beginning after Dec. 31, 2012.
If a taxpayer files an amended federal income tax return the taxpayer must report the change on RCT-128C.
Changes to federal taxable income initiated by the federal government as part of an audit or examination of the federal income tax return must be reported on RCT-128C and must include the federal audit date or date filed with the IRS, regardless of whether the PA corporate net income tax for that period was settled by the department.
CAUTION: If this date is not provided, interest plus a $5 a day penalty, will be imposed from the original due date.

Business income is income arising from transactions and activity in the regular course of the taxpayer's trade or business and includes income from tangible and intangible property if the acquisition, management or disposition of the property constitutes integral parts of the taxpayer's regular trade or business operations. Business income includes all income that is apportionable under the U.S. Constitution. Nonbusiness income is all income other than business income.

# APPORTIONMENT, EXEMPTIONS, AND ALLOCATION APPORTIONMENT OF TAXABLE INCOME

Corporate taxpayers with activity in multiple states may be able to apportion taxable income. In order to apportion income, a corporation must be subject to tax in another state.
For tax years beginning on or after Jan. 1, 2013, unless the taxpayer is required to use a special apportionment method, the apportionment factor used in the calculation of the PA taxable income will consist only of sales attributable to PA divided by total sales of the taxpayer.

# SALES FACTOR

The numerator is the total gross receipts of the taxpayer inside this state during the tax period, and the denominator is the total gross receipts of the taxpayer everywhere during the taxable period. Gross receipts are net of returns and allowances. Sales of tangible personal property are inside this state if the property is delivered or shipped to a purchaser within this state.
A corporation which owns an interest in a partnership shall include the partnership's gross receipts in the corporation's sales factor denominator to the extent of the corporation's ownership interest in the partnership.
Similarly, the corporation's share of the partnership's gross receipts sourced to Pennsylvania shall be included in the numerator of the corporation's sales factor.
These figures should be reflected on the Partner's Share of Sales from Partnerships line of RCT-106. Amounts applicable to an ownership interest in an LLC or business trust that is a partnership or disregarded entity for federal income tax purposes must be included.
CAUTION: This must be numeric with a numerator and a denominator present. If no activity anywhere, the numerator must be "0" and the denominator must be "1".
Act 52 of 2013 and Act 53 of 2022 have established criteria for determining if receipts from other than the sale of tangible property are sourced in PA.
For additional information refer to 72 P.S. section 7401, Information Notice 2014-01, and Corporation Tax Bulletin 2024-01.
Dividends and income from U.S. securities and receipts from sales of securities (unless a securities dealer) must be excluded from both the numerator and denominator of the sales factor.

SPECIAL APPORTIONMENT FRACTIONS
RAILROAD, TRUCK, BUS, AIRLINE, OR AIR FREIGHT

# FORWARDING COMPANIES

All business income of railroad, truck, bus, or airline companies shall be apportioned to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania by multiplying the income by a fraction. The numerator is the taxpayer's total revenue miles within the commonwealth during the taxable period. The denominator is the total revenue miles of the taxpayer everywhere during the taxable period. A revenue mile means the average receipts derived from the transportation by the taxpayer of persons or property one mile. Where revenue miles are derived from the transportation of both persons and property, the revenue mile fractions attributable to each such class of transportation are calculated separately. The average of the two fractions, weighted in accordance with the ratio of total receipts from each such class of transportation everywhere to total receipts from both such classes of transportation everywhere, is used in apportioning business income to the commonwealth.

PIPELINE OR NATURAL GAS COMPANIES
All business income of pipeline companies is apportioned to the commonwealth by multiplying the income by a fraction. The numerator is the revenue ton miles, revenue barrel miles, or revenue cubic feet miles of the taxpayer inside the commonwealth during the tax period. The denominator is the revenue ton miles, revenue barrel miles, or revenue cubic feet miles of the taxpayer everywhere during the tax period. A revenue ton mile, revenue barrel mile, or revenue cubic feet mile means, respectively, the receipts derived from the transportation by the taxpayer of one ton of solid property, one barrel of liquid property, or one cubic foot of gaseous property transported one mile. All business income of natural gas companies subject to regulation by the Federal Power Commission or by the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission is apportioned to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania by multiplying the income by a fraction.
The numerator is the cubic foot capacity of the taxpayer's pipelines inside the commonwealth. The denominator is the cubic foot capacity of the taxpayer's pipelines everywhere, at the end of the taxable period.
Determine the cubic foot capacity of a pipeline by multiplying the square of its radius by its length in feet.

WATER TRANSPORTATION COMPANIES

OPERATING ON HIGH SEAS
All business income of water transportation companies operating on high seas is apportioned to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania by multiplying the business income by a fraction. The numerator is the number of port days spent inside the commonwealth. The denominator is the total number of port days spent inside and outside the commonwealth. Port days do not include periods when the ships are not in use because of strikes or withheld from service for repair or because of seasonal reduction of services. Days in port are calculated by dividing the aggregate number of hours in all ports by 24.

WATER TRANSPORTATION COMPANIES

OPERATING ON INLAND WATERS
All business income of water transportation companies operating on inland waters is apportioned to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania by multiplying the business income by a fraction. The numerator is the taxpayer's total revenue miles inside the commonwealth during the taxable period. The denominator is the total revenue miles of the taxpayer everywhere during the taxable period. In the determination of revenue miles, one-half of the mileage of all navigable waterways bordering between the commonwealth and another state shall be considered commonwealth miles. A revenue mile means the revenue receipts derived from the transportation by the taxpayer of persons or property one mile.
IMPORTANT: Corporations with two distinct activities like warehousing/trucking and distribution/trucking or personal transportation and property transportation must check the Alternative Apportionment checkbox on Page 1, Step C for timely processing. For further information such companies should refer to Corporation Tax Bulletin 2022-01.

APPORTIONMENT AND INVESTMENTS

IN UNINCORPORATED ENTITIES
A corporate taxpayer's investment in an unincorporated entity is considered a direct ownership in the corporation's share of the assets of the unincorporated entity rather than an intangible interest. When determining the sales factor, the numerator and the denominator of the factor must include the sales of the corporate taxpayer plus the corporate taxpayer's share of the sales of the unincorporated entity.
A corporate taxpayer with an investment in a LLC or business trust that files a federal partnership return or is disregarded for federal income tax purposes would include the activity of the invested LLC or business trust in the single sales factor apportionment used in the calculation of the corporate net income tax.

# NONBUSINESS INCOME

TRC § 401(3)2.(a)(1)(A) defines business income as income arising from transactions and activity in the regular course of the taxpayer's trade or business and includes income from tangible and intangible property if either the acquisition, the management, or the disposition of the property is an integral part of the taxpayer's regular trade or business operations.
The term includes all income apportionable under the U.S Constitution.
Nonbusiness income means all income other than business income.
Rents and royalties from real or tangible personal property, gains, interest, patent, or copyright royalties, to the extent that they constitute nonbusiness income, are allocated as reflected below:

1. Net rents and royalties from real property located in this state are allocable to this state.
2. Net rents and royalties from tangible personal property are allocable to this state to the extent the property is used in this state. The extent of utilization of tangible personal property in a state is determined by multiplying the rents and royalties by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days of physical location of the property in the state during the rental or royalty period in the taxable year, and the denominator of which is the number of days of physical location of the property everywhere during all rental or royalty periods in the taxable year. If the physical location of the property during the rental or royalty period is unknown or unascertainable by the taxpayer, tangible personal property is utilized in the state in which the property was located at the time the rental or royalty payer obtained possession.

Net rents and royalties from tangible personal property are also allocated to this state if the commercial domicile of the taxpayer is in PA and the taxpayer is not organized or subject to tax in the state where the property is utilized. "Commercial domicile" means the principal place from which the trade or business of the taxpayer is directed or managed

1. Interest is allocable to this state if the taxpayer's commercial domicile is in this state.
2. Patents and copyright royalties are allocable to this state if and to the extent that the patent or copyright is utilized by the payer in this state, or if and to the extent that the patent or copyright is utilized by the payer in a state in which the taxpayer is not taxable and the taxpayer's commercial domicile is in this state. A patent is utilized in a state to the extent that it is employed in production, fabrication, manufacturing, or other processing in the state or to the extent that a patented product is produced in the state. If the basis of receipts from patent royalties does not permit allocation to states or if the accounting procedures do not reflect states of utilization, the patent is utilized in the state in which the taxpayer's commercial domicile is located. A copyright is utilized in a state to the extent that printing or other publication originates in the state. If the basis of receipts from copyright royalties does not permit allocation to states or if the accounting procedures do not reflect states of utilization, the copyright is utilized in the state in which the taxpayer's commercial domicile is located.

IMPORTANT: Taxpayers claiming nonbusiness income must include REV-934, Schedule of Nonbusiness Income, when filing RCT-101.
IMPORTANT: Nonbusiness income of railroad, truck, bus, or airline companies; pipeline or natural gas companies; and water transportation companies operating on high seas or inland waters also is allocated as noted above.
