SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title: U.S. Income Tax Return for Cooperative Associations. OMB Number: 1545–2052. Form Number: 1120–C. Abstract: IRS Code section 1381 requires subchapter T cooperatives to file returns. Previously, farmers’ cooperatives filed Form 990–C and other subchapter T cooperatives filed Form 1120. If the subchapter T cooperative does not meet certain requirements, the due date of their return is two and one-half months after the end of their tax year which is the same as the due date for all other corporations. The due date for income tax returns filed by subchapter T cooperatives who meet certain requirements is eight and one-half months after the end of their tax year. Cooperatives who filed their income tax returns on Form 1120 were considered to be late and penalties were assessed since they had not filed by the normal due date for Form 1120. Due to the assessment of the penalties, burden was placed on the taxpayer and on the IRS employees to resolve the issue. Proposed regulations (Reg–149436–04) published in the Federal Register (71 FR 43811), proposes that all subchapter T cooperatives will file Form 1120–C, U.S. Income Tax Return for Cooperative Associations. Current Actions: There is no change in the paperwork burden previously approved by OMB. This form is being submitted for renewal purposes only. E:\FR\FM\22FEN1.SGM 22FEN1
