Source: https://www.irs.gov/instructions/i8933

Outlines the rules for determining the beginning of construction for Section 45Q, including how to use the Physical Work Test and Five Percent Safe Harbor, especially concerning effective dates and potential cost overruns.

```text
If you began construction on a facility or equipment by satisfying either the Physical Work Test or the Five Percent Safe Harbor, or both, before the effective date of Notice 2020-12 (March 9, 2020), you may use March 9, 2020, as the date that construction began on such facility or equipment. Additionally, if you began construction on a facility or equipment before March 9, 2020, under both the Physical Work Test and the Five Percent Safe Harbor, you may choose either method (but not both) for the purpose of applying the beginning of construction rules. If you began construction on a facility or equipment on or after March 9, 2020, construction will be deemed to have begun on the date you first satisfy either the Physical Work Test or the Five Percent Safe Harbor. If you fail to satisfy the Five Percent Safe Harbor in 1 year due to cost overruns (as defined in Section 6.03 of Notice 2020-12), you won’t be prevented from using the Physical Work Test in a later year to establish beginning of construction, provided that occurs before January 1, 2033.

function calculateRequiredInstallment(requiredAnnualPayment) {
  // Standard calculation
  let standardInstallment = requiredAnnualPayment / 4;

  // Note: Annualized income installment method may provide a different, potentially lower, installment amount.
  // Refer to Schedule AI Annualized Income Installment Method instructions for details.

### Example Calculation for Income Averaging Worksheet

Source: https://www.irs.gov/instructions/i1040sj

This section provides a detailed example illustrating the application of the income averaging rules, including capital loss deductions and NOLs, for a farmer's tax return. It walks through the specific line-by-line calculations.

```text
The farmer didn't use income averaging for 2021, 2022, or 2023. The taxable income on the farmer’s 2023 Form 1040, line 15, would have been a negative $1,000 if the farmer could have entered a negative number on that line. This amount includes an NOL deduction on the farmer’s 2023 Schedule 1 (Form 1040), line 8a, of $5,150. The $5,150 is the portion of the 2022 NOL that was remaining from 2021 to be carried to 2023. See the examples earlier. The farmer’s taxable income is limited to zero and the farmer doesn’t have an NOL for 2023. The result is a negative $1,000, the farmer’s 2023 taxable income, which the farmer enters as a positive amount on line 1 of the 2023 Taxable Income Worksheet.
When the farmer filed the 2023 tax return, the farmer had a $3,000 net capital loss deduction on Schedule D, line 21 (which was also entered on Form 1040, line 7); a $7,000 loss on Schedule D, line 16; and a $5,000 capital loss carryover to 2024 (the farmer’s 2023 capital loss carryover to 2024 was $5,000, not $4,000, because the amount on the Form 1040, line 15, would have been a negative $1,000 if the farmer could have entered a negative number on that line). The farmer adds the $3,000 from Schedule D, line 21, and the $5,000 carryover. The farmer subtracts from the $8,000 result the $7,000 loss on the Schedule D, line 16, and enters $1,000 on line 2 of the worksheet.
The farmer enters -0- on line 3 of the worksheet because the farmer doesn't have an NOL for 2023 and didn't have an NOL carryover from 2023 available to carry to 2024 and later years. The NOL deduction for 2023 of $5,150 was reduced to zero because it didn't exceed the farmer’s modified taxable income of $7,150. Modified taxable income is figured by adding back the $3,000 net capital loss deduction to taxable income (figured without regard to the NOL deduction) of $4,150. The farmer enters $1,000 on line 4 and $0 on line 5 of the worksheet. The farmer enters $0 on Schedule J, line 13. The farmer enters $6,000 on Schedule J, line 14, and $6,000 on Schedule J, line 15. If the farmer uses Schedule J to figure the farmer’s tax for 2025, the farmer will enter $6,000 on the farmer’s 2025 Schedule J as the 2023 taxable income for income averaging purposes.

### Example 26: Foreign Bank Global Dealing Operations

Source: https://www.irs.gov/instructions/i1120fm3

This example details reporting for a foreign bank with global securities dealing operations, contrasting it with Example 25. It highlights differences in reporting based on whether operations are included in sets of books reported on Form 1120-F, Schedule L.

```text
The facts are the same as in Example 25 except that FC is a foreign bank.
Because the securities options denominated in foreign currency X is not included in a set(s) of books reported on Form 1120-F, Schedule L, the amounts are not reported on Part I, line 11, or Part II, line 14a.
If the notional principal contract book was not reportable on a set of books reportable in column (a), such operation would not be included on line 16c, column (a).
As a result, the amount allocable to effectively connected income from this operation is reported in column (d) and in column (e).
If the set of books reported on Form 1120-F, Schedule L, had included the notional principal contract operation, FC would have reported such amount in column (a), and the apportionment in column (d) would have included a negative number for the amount of income and gains allocable to noneffectively connected income.
Losses allocable to non-ECI would be reported as a positive number.
In column (e), FC combines columns (a), (b), (c), and (d) to report the amount allocable to effectively connected income.

  1. Divide the amount on line 3b(2), column (a)(ii), by the amount on line 2, column (a)(ii).
  2. Multiply the result by the amount on line 2, column (b)(iv).
