17238: Form 5471 Schedule Q

Schedule Q is used to report Controlled Foreign Corporation (CFC) income by CFC income groups. This information is required by T.D. 9882, which finalized Regulations sections 1.960-1 through 1.960-3. This information is also required by Regulations section 1.951A-2(c)(1)(iii) and proposed Regulations section 1.861-20(d)(3)(i). On this new Schedule Q, the CFC income in each CFC income group of the CFC is reported to the U.S. shareholders of the CFC so that the U.S. shareholders can use it to properly complete Form 1118 (to compute the high-tax exception, high-tax kickout, and section 960 deemed paid taxes).
