CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION  
Tax information disclosed to the New Hampshire Department of Revenue Administration is held in strict confidence by law. The information may be disclosed to the 
United States Internal Revenue Service (IRS), agencies responsible for the administration of taxes in other states in accordance with compacts for the exchange of

Form NH-1120-WE is used for combined filing. Consolidated returns are not permitted. The purpose of Schedule I-A is to reconcile the federally reported net income of
non-consolidated members of the combined group to the New Hampshire combined net income of the water's edge group.

LINES 1-9 - TAXABLE INCOME BEFORE NET OPERATING LOSS DEDUCTION AND SPECIAL DEDUCTIONS
LINE 1 - US CONSOLIDATED
Enter the amount as filed with the IRS on the US consolidated return of the principal New Hampshire business organization. Pursuant to Rev 301.25 “Principal New
Hampshire business organization” means an entity designated as the responsible party for filing all returns, declarations, extensions, or other documents required
under the business profits tax on behalf of a combined group. If the group does not include a US consolidated member, start at LINE 5 and file under the Principal New
HaHampshire business organization of that group.
LINE 2 - OVERSEAS BUSINESS ORGANIZATIONS INCLUDED IN LINE 1

LINE 3 - NON-UNITARY ENTITIES INCLUDED IN LINE 1
Enter the total gross business profits of those entities included in the consolidated US federal income tax return which are not part of the water’s edge combined

LINE 4 - CONSOLIDATING ELIMINATIONS ATTRIBUTABLE TO ENTITIES INCLUDED IN LINE 2 & 3
Enter the total federal consolidating eliminations which are attributable to those entities excluded from the water's edge combined group as either overseas business

1-A must be completed. I must be completed.

LINE 6 - INTERCOMPANY INCOME (EXPENSE)

 Income (expense) not eliminated through federal Form 1120 consolidation.
 Income (expense) between the additional unitary members on Line 5 and the other members.
 Income (expense) between New Hampshire water’s edge affiliates on Line 1 and those on Line 5.

IRC occurring subsequent to the version adopted by New Hampshire, and account for those changes on their return. Taxpayers must also make additional
adjustments as directed by RSA 77-A:3-b.

APPLICABLE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE
TAXABLE PERIOD - BEGINNING IRC VERSION IN EFFECT
01/01/2020 - Current December 31, 2018
01/01/2018 - 12/31/2019 December 31, 2016
01/01/2017 - 12/31/2017 December 31, 2015
01/02/2000 - 12/31/2016 December 31, 2000
For prior taxable periods reference RSA 77-A:1, XX
The adjustments on lines 10(a through 10(g reflect the adjustments that are necessary to account for the version of the IRC adopted by New Hampshire. If a taxpayer
seeks to report a necessary adjustment that has not been specifically addressed, the taxpayer shall enter the item on either line 10(c or 10(e.
The statutory requirement to follow the IRC applicable pursuant to RSA 77-A:1, XX and RSA 77-A:3-b has significant impact on the tax basis of assets used in businesses
operating within New Hampshire, and also within and without New Hampshire. A separate accounting of the New Hampshire tax basis must be maintained for
depreciation purposes and for determination of the gain or loss in the event of the sale of business assets.
LINE 10(a)
Add the amount of IRC §179 expense taken on the federal return in excess of the amount permitted pursuant to RSA 77-A:3-b. For property placed in service on or
after January 1, 2017, the maximum IRC § 179 deduction is $100,000. For property placed in service on or after January 1, 2018, the maximum IRC § 179 deduction is
$500,000.
LINE 10(b)
Add the amount of bonus depreciation taken on the federal return for assets placed in service this period. Bonus depreciation, allowed federally under IRC §168(k, is
not allowed on the NH-BPT return.
LINE 10(c)
Add any other deductions or exclusions taken on the federal return that need to be eliminated or adjusted due to revisions to the IRC occurring subsequent to the
applicable version in the table above. Include foreign dividends, when actually distributed, that consist of amounts previously taxed federally as GILTI under IRC
§951A, or of amounts previously taxed federally as deemed one-time repatriation under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, but not previously subject to Business
Profits Tax. Complete and attach Form Schedule IV.
LINE 10(d)
Deduct the regular depreciation related to IRC §179 and bonus depreciation not allowed for this tax year or for prior tax years. Because there may be a basis difference
due to the federal and state treatment of IRC §179 expense, and bonus depreciation, the regular depreciation allowed under IRC §167 and IRC §168 may be different
than the federal return. Recalculate your allowable depreciation and deduct the difference on this line.
LINE 10(e)
Deduct any other items included on the federal return that are required to be eliminated or adjusted due to revisions to the IRC occurring subsequent to the version
adopted by New Hampshire pursuant to RSA 77-A:1, XX and RSA 77-A:3-b. Also include the deduction allowed for global intangible low-taxed income under RSA 77-
A:4, XIX. Complete and attach Form Schedule IV.
LINE 10(f)
Increase or decrease the net gain or loss on the sale of assets used in the business which have a state adjusted basis different from the tax adjusted basis reported on
the federal return. Because of the different state tax treatment of IRC §179 expense, and bonus depreciation, the regular depreciation pursuant to IRC §167 and IRC
§168 allowed by New Hampshire may be different than the federal return. This may create a different adjusted basis on the sale of business assets which have not
been completely depreciated resulting in a different gain or loss for state reporting than federal reporting. Recalculate the gain or loss and enter the difference on this
line. Adjustments required to account for the net gain or loss attributable to an increase or step-up in the basis of assets pursuant to RSA 77-A:4, XIV shall be reported
in Section 12(i.
LINE 10(g)
The sum of 10(a) through 10(c), minus Lines 10(d) and 10(e), adjusted by 10(f); if negative, use minus sign in front of the number.

LINES 11(a)-1 (e)1 - COMBINED NET INCOME
LINE 11(a)
Combined Net Income. Enter on Line 11(a, Line 9 adjusted by 10(g. This total represents the combined net income of the water's edge group.
LINE 11(b)
Separate entity adjustments to income or expense, attach a schedule. Enter the amounts which arise from the necessity of adjusting Gross Business Profits to
accommodate the New Hampshire requirement of separate entity treatment for business organizations. Do not eliminate investment income on this line, as New
Hampshire requires that all business income be included. New Hampshire does not have a non-business income statute.
LINE 11(c)
Subtotal [Line 11(a) adjusted by Line 11(b)]. If negative, use minus sign [See instructions for Net Operating Loss (NOL) Form DP-132].

LINE 12(a)
Deduct interest or dividend income that is subject to taxation under RSA 77. Deduct the amount of Interest and Dividends income reported on the Interest and
Dividends Tax return (Form DP-10 on this line. Partnerships, LLCs, and associations, whose gross interest and dividends do not exceed $2,400 are not subject to the
Interest and Dividends Tax and thus cannot make a deduction on this line. See RSA 77:3, I(b. If the amount of interest and dividends exceeds $2,400, the entity may
be subject to the Interest and Dividends Tax. The application of the term “subject to tax” is not affected by the proportionate amount taxed related to a New
Hampshire inhabitant partner(s). See RSA 77:14-a.
LINE 12(b)
Deduct interest income earned resulting from investments in direct United States obligations. Deduct interest, net of expenses, earned from investments in United
States obligations on this line if issued to secure credit to carry on the necessary functions of government. Exempt U.S. Government interest claimed as a deduction
must be reduced by the following expenses if the expenses were claimed as deductions in arriving at your federal taxable income: interest on money borrowed to
purchase or carry the bonds or securities or ordinary and necessary expenses paid or incurred in connection with producing exempt income. These expenses may also
be added back on Line 12(g). Do not include any amounts already included in Line 12(a).
LINE 12(c)
Deduct reasonable compensation for personal services performed by a proprietor, partner, or member for the business organization, who is a natural person. This
deduction is not available to a corporation or a trust. A partnership or proprietorship whose partner(s or proprietor performs services for the business organization
may take a reasonable compensation deduction on the business organization's NH-BPT return for that service. If the compensation deduction exceeds $75,000, then
the business organization must maintain business records to demonstrate that the deduction is reasonable.
If a business organization was unable to take a reasonable compensation deduction in a prior year(s due to insufficient business profits, the business organization
may adjust this year's compensation deduction to reflect the compensation not deducted in the prior year(s. However, the business organization must maintain
records sufficient to demonstrate that intention.
The amount of the deduction cannot reduce taxable business profits to less than zero.
Reasonable compensation may also include an amount up to 15% of the gross selling price of a business asset less any amount paid to other brokers or agents. This
amount must represent the commissions attributable to the efforts of a partner or proprietor acting as the broker or selling agent as provided in Rev 303.01.
LINE 12(d)
Add net income taxes, franchise taxes measured by net income, or capital stock tax taken on the federal tax return for any state, or political subdivision, or foreign
taxes based on or measured by net income.
The Business Enterprise Tax (BET is not based on or measured by net income and is not added back. Business Profits Tax (BPT is based on net income and must be
added back if a deduction for BPT has been taken of your federal tax return.
LINE 12(e)
In the case of a corporation having adopted a plan of liquidation subsequent to June 30, 1981, which has a non-recognized gain as a result of the application of the

LINE 12(g)
Deduct foreign dividend gross-up (IRC § 78. IRC §78 provides that dividends received from foreign affiliates are “grossed-up” to include income taxes paid on the
dividends to foreign countries. The taxpayer can then apply the grossed-up amount in computing its foreign tax credit for federal purposes. The amount of gross-up is
a separately stated item in the federal Form 1120, Schedule C. Qualified dividends do not include IRC §78 amounts. Deduct the gross-up on this line.
LINE 12(h)
Deducted qualified charitable contributions. A deduction is allowed for the contribution of scientific equipment or apparatus to educational organizations or
institutes of higher education equal to the sum of the taxpayer's basis in the contributed property plus 50 percent of the unrealized appreciation, or twice the basis of
