  Unincorporated Business Tax Return  For Individuals and Single-Member LLCs       2022

  Highlights  of Recent Tax Law Changes for Unincorporated Businesses

  Section 1 of Chapter 555 of the Laws of 2022 added a new paragraph 12 to section 11-506(c) of 
    the New York City Administrative Code, which includes a modification subtracting from federal 
    gross income the amount of any grant received through either the COVID-19 Pandemic Small 
    Business Recovery Grant program pursuant to section 16-ff of the New  York State Urban 
    Development Corporation Act or the New York City Small Business Resilience Grant program 
    administered by the New York City Department of Small Business Services to the extent the 
    amount of either such grant is included in federal taxable income. 
   
  For details on the proper reporting of income and expenses addressed in the federal Tax Cuts and 
    Jobs Act of 2017, such as mandatory deemed repatriation income, foreign-derived intangible 
    income (FDII), global intangible low-taxed income (GILTI), please refer to Finance 
    Memorandum 18-10. For information about the IRC section 163(j) limitation on the business 
    interest expense deduction, please refer to Finance Memorandum 18-11. 
   
  Note that according to the federal Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, net operating losses generated 
    during or after 2018  generally may no longer be carried back. These losses may be carried for-
    ward indefinitely; however each year’s deduction will be limited to 80% of taxable income (with-
    out regard to the deduction).  
   
  In general, for tax years beginning in or after 2018, taxpayers who allocate business income 
    inside and outside New York City must do so using single receipts factor allocation, i.e. the por-
    tion of the total gross sales or charges for services performed in New  York City. See 
    Administrative Code section 11-508. 
   
  For purposes of the New York City Unincorporated Business Tax, General Corporation Tax, 
    Banking Corporation  Tax and Business Corporation  Tax, the City has “decoupled” from the 
    Federal bonus depreciation allowed under IRC section 168(k), except with respect to the depre-
    ciation deductions allowed with respect to “qualified New York liberty zone property” and “qual-
    ified property” placed in service in the Resurgence Zone (generally the area in the borough of 
    Manhattan south of Houston Street and north of Canal Street.) For City tax purposes, deprecia-
    tion deductions for all other “qualified property” must be calculated as if the property was placed 
    in service prior to September 11, 2001. See Form NYC-399Z and Finance Memorandum 22-1, 
    “Application of the IRC §280F to Sports Utility Vehicles” for more information.

  IMPORTANT INFORMATION CONCERNING FORM NYC-200V AND PAYMENT OF TAX DUE
 Payments may be made on the NYC Department of Finance website at nyc.gov/eservices, or via check or money order. If paying 
 with check or money order, do not include these payments with your New York City return. Checks and money orders must be 
 accompanied by payment voucher form NYC-200V and sent to the address on the voucher. Form NYC-200V must be postmarked 
 by the return due date to avoid late payment penalties and interest. See form NYC-200V for more information.
