What you'll need

Schedule B refers to these returns and schedules for adjustment amounts:

  • Your federal return: Several lines use income, taxes, expenses, or deductions reported on your federal return.
  • Schedule B-1: Line 23 uses the allowance from Schedule B-1, line 9.
  • CIT-120APT, Schedule A2: Multistate corporations must use this schedule for the West Virginia water or air pollution control facility adjustments identified on Schedule B.

Common mistakes

  • Using lines 4 or 20 for a multistate corporation's pollution control facility adjustments. These lines are for wholly West Virginia corporations only. The form says multistate corporations must use CIT-120APT, Schedule A2, line 11 for depreciation or amortization and line 10 for facility costs.
