Short Statement: Individuals, corporations, cooperatives, estates, and trusts use Form 8903 to figure their allowable Domestic Production Activities Deduction (DPAD) from certain trade or business activities. This ICR submission reflects a redesign of Form 8903 to include income from oil-related production activities. For tax years beginning after 2009, the applicable rate for the Domestic Production Activities Deduction (DPAD) of taxpayers with oil-related qualified production activities income (QPAI) increased from 6% to 9% on the smallest of the following amounts: Oil-related qualified production activities income (QPAI), QPAI (from an estate or trust), or Adjusted gross income (AGI) for an individual, estate, or trust (taxable income for all other taxpayers) figured without the DPAD. Line 13 allows for the computation of the 9% of QPAI. The addition of Lines 14a and 14b allows the filer to determine the least of :oil related QPAI, QPAI, or AGI. The addition of the two lines result in total estimated burden increase of 948,000 hours.
