Tiered Entities: In the event of a tiered entity, enter in this column the distributive share of income or loss attributable to a non-unitary FTE in which the taxpayer has an indirect ownership interest. When computing the distributive share of income attributable to the non-unitary FTE in which the taxpayer has a direct ownership interest, only enter the direct income of that FTE. This is done by subtracting any income (loss) attributable to the filer’s indirectly owned FTEs from the income (loss) reported here that is attributable to the directly owned FTE. Example: C Corporation 1 owns 50% of FTE B and FTE B owns 40% of FTE A. FTE B received from FTE A a distributive share of income of $20,000. C Corporation 1 received from FTE B a distributive share of income of $100,000. On the line corresponding to FTE A, C Corporation 1 would enter $10,000. This is the indirect distributive share that C Corporation 1 received from FTE A and is calculated by multiplying C Corporation 1’s ownership interest in FTE B by the distributive share FTE B received from FTE A: 50% x $20,000 = $10,000 On the line corresponding to FTE B, C Corporation 1 would enter $90,000. This is the distributive share C Corporation 1 received from FTE B less the distributive share C Corporation 1 received from FTE A: $100,000 - $10,000 = $90,000 NOTE: The sum of the amount in every line on column C (plus, in the case of a UBG, the sum of column C for all other UBG members that filed this form) should equal the amount reported on Form 4891, line 26. Column D: Enter in this column the non-unitary FTE’s apportionment percentage. The non-unitary FTE’s apportionment percentage is the FTE’s sales factor. The sales factor is a fraction, the numerator of which is the total sales of the FTE in this state during the tax year and the denominator of which is the total sales of the FTE everywhere during the tax year. For more information on what is a sale, see the instructions for Form 4891. Use the information in the “Sourcing of Sales to Michigan” section of Form 4890 to determine Michigan sales. Enter this amount as a percentage, carrying it out 4 digits to the right of the decimal point (i.e. 12.3456). Do not enter the percent symbol (%). For FTEs whose distributive income (loss) is exempt under 2013 PA 233 , leave column D blank. Column E: Enter the non-unitary flow-through distributive income after apportionment by multiplying the amount in column C by the apportionment percentage in column D for 64 |

Effects of Members Joining a Group When an entity becomes a member of a UBG part way through the member’s tax year, for CIT purposes the new member will experience a short tax year beginning on the date the member joins the group, even if it does not have a short period for federal purposes. For both the UBG return and the new member’s separate short period return, tax bases will be calculated using actual numbers from the applicable short period of the new member. If a member that is new to the group brings with it a carryforward of a business loss, combine that amount with any carryforward of business loss that was generated by the group or brought to the group by another member. The group must then use the oldest available business loss carryforward first, regardless of source. If two members each created (or brought) a business loss carryforward of the same age, and together those exceed the amount allowable in this filing period after use of older carryforwards, those members’ respective business loss carryforwards are used in proportion to the amount they created for, or brought to, the group. Effects of Members Leaving a Group When a member of a UBG ceases to be a member part way through the member’s tax year, for CIT purposes the departing member will experience a short tax year ending on the departure date, even if it does not have a short period for federal purposes. 94 |
