March 8, 2023

Division B filings are generally described as follows:
A Division B filing instrument is a document filed with the Secretary of Treasury in order to qualify for a tax benefit.
A Division B filing instrument is a document filed with the Secretary of Treasury in order to qualify for a tax benefit. There are two types of Division B filings: Form 706 and Form 709.

- Additional child tax credit; and
- Additional Adoption Credit
The Internal Revenue Code (IRC) allows you to do many things that are not allowed by law.
The Internal Revenue Code (IRC) allows you to do many things that are not allowed by law. For example, if you have a large estate and want to leave your money in an inheritance fund, the IRC allows this. If your parents died and left their house to you in their will, then it would be illegal for them to give away $1 million worth of land or property as part of their estate planning. But if they did so under IRC Section 2056(c), then no one could challenge it because there’s nothing wrong with what they did at all!
The same goes for paying off debts: If a creditor doesn’t like how much money is owed on an outstanding line item on his credit report—say $3 million—and tries suing him anyway because he thinks he deserves more money back than what was agreed upon when making these arrangements with creditors during bankruptcy proceedings years ago…well then guess what? Under American law today…he can do whatever he wants since our government has said otherwise!
There are generally four types of Division B filings.
The following are the four types of Division B filings:
- Form 5498-SA, Statement of Specified Foreign Financial Assets. This form is used to report financial assets held in a foreign country that are not subject to U.S. taxation on profits or gains. For example, a person may have investments in an offshore trust and would like to know how much money he or she has invested in such trusts so as not to be affected by any tax on those earnings being withheld by the U.S., which would otherwise be paid out if they were U.S.-based individuals who had similar holdings overseas but did not file this form with their taxes owed at home (but instead sent it along with their proper forms).
These types of DIVISION B FILINGS are generally described as follows.
The term “Division B filing” refers to any income tax return that is required by law to be filed with the IRS. There are two types of Division B filings: Form 1120 and Form 1041.
A Division A filing is a United States income tax return required by law to be filed with the IRS on or before April 15th following the close of a calendar year (or within six months after such close) unless an extension of time for filing is granted during that year.

1. New Form Delayed Reduction (Form 990-N) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
- New Form Delayed Reduction (Form 990-N)
The IRS has recently expanded the use of this form to include taxpayers who have filed a return but are seeking an extension of time to file based on extenuating circumstances. These include situations where a taxpayer is unable to obtain proper documentation due to illness or injury, or other unusual circumstances that prevent them from filing their return on time.
This form can be used by anyone who has paid any federal income tax and wants an extension of time to file their individual income tax return.
The new rules also apply if you need more time because you were unable to obtain proper documentation when you should have had it, even though all necessary information was provided in good faith at the time it was requested.
You do not need any special reason for requesting an extension; simply write “Application for Extension” at top left hand corner so that everyone knows what type of request is being made here.
Filing electronically via e-mail attachment saves paper usage costs and provides faster processing times than filing by mail only.
4. Qualified Safety Valve Distributions (Form 5498)
Qualified Safety Valve Distributions (Form 5498)
Qualified safety valve distributions are distributions from a health savings account (HSA) or flexible spending account (FSA). They allow you to make a distribution from your HSA or FSA without penalty. A qualified safety valve is an amount that can be used for medical expenses only and cannot be used for any other purpose. You must complete Form 5329, Qualified Deemed Annuity Distribution, if you have made a qualified deemed annuity distribution before December 31 of the year following the year in which contributions were made.
7. Archer Medical Savings Account Distributions (Form 8889)
The Archer MSA Distributions (Form 8889) is a form used to report the distribution of funds from your Archer MSA. Reporting these distributions will help you keep track of all the money that has been paid out, as well as any additional information required by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).
You can file Form 8889 with any financial institution that holds an interest in your Archer MSA. The bank or brokerage firm will then send it directly to the IRS for processing.
The IRS requires that you file this form annually on or before January 31 following the year in which you make the distributions.
