Schedule C (Form 5713): Tax Effect of the International Boycott Provisions

Schedule C (Form 5713) is used to compute the loss of tax benefits attributable to participation in or cooperation with an international boycott. It takes the result of either the international boycott factor from Schedule A (Form 5713) or the specifically attributable taxes and income from Schedule B (Form 5713) and applies it to each tax benefit.

The lines cover the reduction of the foreign tax credit under section 908(a), the denial of deferral under subpart F, the denial of IC-DISC benefits, the denial of the exemption of foreign trade income of an FSC, and the reduction of foreign trade income qualifying for the extraterritorial income exclusion. Each result is then entered on another form, such as Form 1116, Form 1118, Form 1120-IC-DISC, Form 1120-FSC, Form 8873 or Worksheet A in the Form 5471 instructions.

The schedule is attached to Form 5713. You can fill out the Schedule C PDF free in your browser on this page and download the result without an account.
