No. 17146N Schedule B (Form 1040A or 1040) 2016 Page 2 Schedule B (Form 1040A or 1040) 2016 General Instructions Future Developments For the latest information about developments related to Schedule B (Form 1040A or 1040) and its instructions, such as legislation enacted after they were published, go to www.irs.gov/scheduleb. What's New The due date for filing FinCEN Form 114 has changed. See below. Purpose of Form Use Schedule B if any of the following applies. You had over $1,500 of taxable interest or ordinary dividends. You received interest from a seller-financed mortgage and the buyer used the property as a personal residence. You have accrued interest from a bond. You are reporting original issue discount (OID) of less than the amount shown on Form 1099-OID. You are reducing your interest income on a bond by the amount of amortizable bond premium. You are claiming the exclusion of interest from series EE or I U.S. savings bonds issued after 1989. You received interest or ordinary dividends as a nominee. You had a financial interest in, or signature authority over, a financial account in a foreign country or you received a distribution from, or were a grantor of, or transferor to, a foreign trust. Specific Instructions You can list more than one payer on each entry space for lines 1 and 5, but be sure to clearly show the amount paid next to the payer's name. Add the separate amounts paid by the payers listed on an entry space and enter the total in the \"Amount\" column. If you still need more space, attach separate statements using the same format as lines 1 and 5, but show your totals on Schedule B. Put your name and social security number (SSN) on the statements and attach them at the end of your return. TIP Part I. Interest Line 1. Report on line 1 all of your taxable interest. Taxable interest generally should be shown on your Forms 1099-INT, Forms 1099-OID, or substitute statements. Include interest from series EE, H, HH, and I U.S. savings bonds. Also include any accrued market discount that is includible in income. List each payer's name and show the amount. Don't report on this line any tax-exempt interest from box 8 or box 9 of Form 1099-INT. Instead, report the amount from box 8 on line 8b of Form 1040A or 1040. If an amount is shown in box 9 of Form 1099-INT, you generally must report it on line 12 of Form 6251. See the Instructions for Form 6251 for more details. For more information on market discount and other investment income, see Pub. 550. Seller-financed mortgages. If you sold your home or other property and the buyer used the property as a personal residence, list first any interest the buyer paid you on a mortgage or other form of seller financing. Be sure to show the buyer's name, address, and SSN. You must also let the buyer know your SSN. If you don't show the buyer's name, address, and SSN, or let the buyer know your SSN, you may have to pay a $50 penalty. Nominees. If you received a Form 1099-INT that includes interest you received as a nominee (that is, in your name, but the interest actually belongs to someone else), report the total on line 1. Do this even if you later distributed some or all of this income to others. Under your last entry on line 1, put a subtotal of all interest listed on line 1. Below this subtotal, enter \"Nominee Distribution\" and show the total interest you received as a nominee. Subtract this amount from the subtotal and enter the result on line 2. If you received interest as a nominee, you must give the actual owner a Form 1099-INT (unless the owner is your spouse) and file Forms 1096 and 1099-INT with the IRS. For more details, see the General Instructions for Certain Information Returns and the Instructions for Forms 1099-INT and 1099-OID. TIP Accrued interest. When you buy bonds between interest payment dates and pay accrued interest to the seller, this interest is taxable to the seller. If you received a Form 1099 for interest as a purchaser of a bond with accrued interest, follow the rules earlier under Nominees to see how to report the accrued interest. But identify the amount to be subtracted as \"Accrued Interest.\" Original issue discount (OID). If you are reporting OID in an amount less than the amount shown on Form 1099-OID, follow the rules earlier under Nominees to see how to report the OID. But identify the amount to be subtracted as \"OID Adjustment.\" Amortizable bond premium. If you are reducing your interest income on a bond by the amount of amortizable bond premium, follow the rules earlier under Nominees to see how to report the interest. But identify the amount to be subtracted as \"ABP Adjustment.\" Line 3. If, during 2016, you cashed series EE or I U.S. savings bonds issued after 1989 and you paid qualified higher education expenses for yourself, your spouse, or your dependents, you may be able to exclude part or all of the interest on those bonds. See Form 8815 for details. Part II. Ordinary Dividends You may have to file Form 5471 if, in 2016, you were an officer or director of a foreign corporation. You may also have to file Form 5471 if, in 2016, you owned 10% or more of the total (a) value of a foreign corporation's stock, or (b) combined voting power of all classes of a foreign corporation's stock with voting rights. For details, see Form 5471 and its instructions. TIP Line 5. Report on line 5 all of your ordinary dividends. This amount should be shown in box 1a of your Forms 1099-DIV or substitute statements. Nominees. If you received a Form 1099-DIV that includes ordinary dividends you received as a nominee (that is, in your name, but the ordinary dividends actually belong to someone else), report the total on line 5. Do this even if you later distributed some or all of this income to others. Under your last entry on line 5, put a subtotal of all ordinary dividends listed on line 5. Below this subtotal, enter \"Nominee Distribution\" and show the total ordinary dividends you received as a nominee. Subtract this amount from the subtotal and enter the result on line 6. If you received dividends as a nominee, you must give the actual owner a Form 1099-DIV (unless the owner is your spouse) and file Forms 1096 and 1099-DIV with the IRS. For more details, see the General Instructions for Certain Information Returns and the Instructions for Form 1099-DIV. TIP Part III. Foreign Accounts and Trusts Regardless of whether you are required to file FinCEN Form 114 (FBAR), you may be required to file Form 8938, Statement of Specified Foreign Financial Assets, with your income tax return. Failure to file Form 8938 may result in penalties and extension of the statute of limitations. See www.irs.gov/form8938 for more information. TIP Line 7a-Question 1. Check the \"Yes\" box if at any time during 2016 you had a financial interest in or signature authority over a financial account located in a foreign country. See the definitions that follow. Check the \"Yes\" box even if you aren't required to file FinCEN Form 114. Financial account. A financial account includes, but isn't limited to, a securities, brokerage, savings, demand, checking, deposit, time deposit, or other account maintained with a financial institution (or other person performing the services of a financial institution). A financial account also includes a commodity futures or options account, an insurance policy with a cash value (such as a whole life insurance policy), an annuity policy with a cash value, and shares in a mutual fund or similar pooled fund (that is, a fund that is available to the general public with a regular net asset value determination and regular redemptions). Financial account located in a foreign country. A financial account is located in a foreign country if the account is physically located outside of the United States. For example, an account maintained with a branch of a United States bank that is physically located outside of the United States is a foreign financial account. An account maintained with a branch of a foreign bank that is physically located in the United States isn't a foreign financial account. Signature authority. Signature authority is the authority of an individual (alone or in conjunction with another individual) to control the disposition of assets held in a foreign financial account by direct communication (whether in writing or otherwise) to the bank or other financial institution that maintains the financial account. See the FinCEN Form 114 instructions for exceptions. Don't consider the exceptions relating to signature authority in answering Question 1 on line 7a. Other definitions. For definitions of \"financial interest,\" \"United States,\" and other relevant terms, see the instructions for FinCEN Form 114. Line 7a-Question 2. See FinCEN Form 114 and its instructions at www.fincen.gov/fbar to determine whether you must file the form. Check the \"Yes\" box if you are required to file the form; check the \"No\" box if you aren't required to file the form. If you checked the \"Yes\" box to Question 2 on line 7a, you must electronically file FinCEN Form 114 with Treasury's Financial Crimes Enforcement Network; go to www.fincen.gov/fbar for details. Do not attach FinCEN Form 114 to your tax return. FinCEN Form 114 for 2016 is now generally due April 18, 2017, but FinCEN is providing an automatic extension for all filers until October 16, 2017. See www.fincen.gov for details. ! If you are required to file FinCEN Form 114 but don't properly do so, you may have to pay a civil penalty up to $10,000. A person who willfully fails to CAUTION report an account or provide account identifying information may be subject to a civil penalty equal to the greater of $100,000 or 50% of the balance in the account at the time of the violation. Willful violations may also be subject to criminal penalties. Line 7b. If you are required to file FinCEN Form 114, enter the name of the foreign country or countries in the space provided on line 7b. Attach a separate statement if you need more space. Line 8. If you received a distribution from a foreign trust, you must provide additional information. For this purpose, a loan of cash or marketable securities generally is considered to be a distribution. See Form 3520 for details. If you were the grantor of, or transferor to, a foreign trust that existed during 2016, you may have to file Form 3520. Don't attach Form 3520 to Form 1040. Instead, file it at the address shown in its instructions. If you were treated as the owner of a foreign trust under the grantor trust rules, you are also responsible for ensuring that the foreign trust files Form 3520-A. Form 3520-A is due on March 15, 2017, for a calendar year trust. See the instructions for Form 3520-A for more details.
