 Ask Your Enrolled Agent For A Dpad This Christmas

OK, so maybe it is not as exciting as a new iPad

, but a dPad can be far more advantageous for taxpayers. DPAD, short for Domestic Production Activities Deduction is deducted under section 199 directly from income. For 2010, the deduction is equal to 9% of the lesser of of qualified production activities income (QPAI) or taxable income (AGI for individual taxpayers including shareholders of pass through entities) determined without regard to the deduction. This is an increase from tax year 2009, when the applicable percentage stood at 6%.

What are Domestic production activities?

If you build, manufacture or produce goods in the United States you may be engaged in domestic production activities. The following activities can generate QPAI:

Construction of real property performed in the United States (U.S.A.) Ask Your Enrolled Agent For A Dpad This Christmas


Engineering or architectural services performed in the U.S.A. for construction of real property in the U.S.A.

Any lease, rental, license, sale, exchange, or other disposition of:

Tangible personal property, computer software, and sound recordings the taxpayer manufactured, produced, grew, or extracted in whole or in significant part within the U.S.A.

Any qualified film the taxpayer produced

Electricity, natural gas, or potable water produced in the United States

The deduction does not apply to income derived from:

The sale of food and beverages prepared at a retail establishment

Property leased, licensed, or rented for use by any related person

The transmission or distribution of electricity, natural gas, or potable water

The lease, rental, license, sale, exchange, or other disposition of land

What is QPAI?

Section 199(c)(1) defines QPAI for any taxable year as an amount equal to the the excess of domestic production gross receipts (DPGR) over the sum of: (a) the cost of goods sold (CGS) allocable to such receipts; (b) other deductions, expenses, or losses directly allocable to such receipts; and (c) a ratable portion of deductions, expenses, and losses not directly allocable to such receipts or another class of income.

What are the limits?

The deduction is limited to 50% of the W-2 wages paid by the employer during the year. This is in addition to the QPAI and net income (or AGI) limitations. Ask Your Enrolled Agent For A Dpad This Christmas


How to claim the deduction

Form 8903 is used to claim the deduction. A corporation claims the deduction at the entity level. The deduction for the qualified production activities of a partnership or S corporation is taken at the partner or shareholder level. For simplification purposes, the partnership or S corporation can calculate the QPAI at the entity level and report pertinent information to the shareholder on Schedule K-1. Each partner or shareholder must compute its deduction separately using form 8903.
