Schedule M (Form 8858): Transactions Between FDE or FB and the Filer or Related Entities
Schedule M (Form 8858) reports transactions between a foreign disregarded entity (FDE) or foreign branch (FB) and the filer or other related entities. The form says to attach it to Form 8858 and to complete a separate Schedule M for each FDE or FB.
The schedule totals each type of transaction that occurred during the annual accounting period between the FDE or FB and the persons listed in its columns: sales, purchases, compensation for certain services, commissions, rents, royalties and license fees, dividends and distributions, interest, loan guarantee fees, and amounts borrowed and loaned. The form says all amounts are stated in U.S. dollars translated from functional currency at the appropriate exchange rate for the FDE's or FB's tax year.
Three sets of column headings cover a tax owner that is a controlled foreign partnership, a controlled foreign corporation or a U.S. person. You can fill out Schedule M (Form 8858) free in your browser on this page and download the result without an account.
