The schedule must be attached to Form 100S. The form does not state detailed filing requirements.

What you'll need

Have the following information ready:

  • For each property transaction: description, acquisition date, sale date, gross sales price, and cost or other basis plus selling expenses.
  • If applicable, capital gain amounts from form FTB 3805E, line 26 or line 37, and federal Form 8824.
  • For Section B, any gain from Schedule D-1, line 9, capital gain distributions, and unused capital loss carryover from 2023 attributable to the S corporation.
  • For built-in gains, California taxable income and any net operating loss carryover deduction from years the corporation was a C corporation.

Attach a computation schedule for Section A, line 7, showing the excess of recognized built-in gains over recognized built-in losses attributable to California. Use additional sheets for property transactions if necessary.

How to file

Attach Schedule D (100S) to Form 100S.

Common mistakes

  • Do not overlook the reminder to read the instructions before completing Section A, Part III, Tax on Built-In Gains. Those instructions were not supplied here.
  • Use California amounts for taxable income on Section A, line 8. The form directs you to the federal Schedule D (Form 1120-S) instructions for that line.
  • Financial S corporations must use 10.84%, rather than 8.84%, on Section A, line 12.
  • If Section A, line 11, is zero or less, enter 0 on both line 11 and line 12.
  • If Section B, line 10, is a loss, carry it forward to taxable year 2025 rather than entering it on Form 100S, Side 1, line 4.
