About Sourcing Charts

Sourcing charts allow you to customize the presentation of the Income and Assets Sourcing Workpapers by selecting the system and user-defined source codes to display as columns.

Since the Sourcing Workpaper employs a spreadsheet look and feel, customizing the source codes that appear as columns facilitates data entry and review.

A sourcing chart, once defined, is available for all binders created for that tax year. Sourcing Charts can be developed for specific operations, geographic locations, or any other income category. Multiple Sourcing charts can be created for a given year.

International sourcing

System and user defined source codes are used to allocate and apportion account balances or specific classes or groups of income in the Sourcing Workpaper.

Source codes differentiate income between Subpart F and non-Subpart F income, Section 904(d) basket, passive income categories for high tax kickout calculations, 863(b) income, and U.S. and foreign source income for Section 904(h) calculations.

Passive source grouping

User-defined passive source codes are combined into one or more groups. Select
Charts
, then International Sourcing
, then Passive Source Grouping
.

In all years, the groupings are used during FTC calculations to group user-defined source codes which represent passive foreign source income with other such source codes for purposes of applying the high-tax kickout rules.

High-taxed income's any income (tested after allocation of expenses) that would otherwise be passive income but isn't treated as such because the sum of foreign income taxes paid and deemed paid with respect to that income exceeds the tentative U.S. income tax liability with respect to that income. This exclusion ensures the separate limitation for passive income segregates low-taxed, passive income from high-taxed, passive income, avoiding substantial averaging within the passive basket. Through Passive Source Grouping
, you instruct the system to group income items together to treat them as 1 unit to determine if such items, as grouped, are high-taxed income.

For tax years 2020 and later, you can map the user-defined Passive Subpart F source codes to the specific Subpart F FPHCI types on Form 5471 Schedule Q, lines 1a-1f and also map them to the specific Withholding Tax group on Form 5471 Schedule Q, line B. Then you can also map them for U.S. Source Income or Foreign Source Income on Form 5471 Schedule Q, line C.
