Form 8903 says it won't be available until 3/31 but farm returns are due 3/1. Can't find a work around for DPAD deductions without the 8903. What do we do?

If you're trying to enter the DPAD from a cooperative off of a Form 1099-PATR, don't use the Form 8903.  Enter it in the smart worksheet on Schedule F below question G.  That will populate it to the Form 8995A

If you're trying to flow the cooperative DPAD deduction from a partnership K-1 onto your return, go way down on the K-1 worksheet to Section D2 line K.

There is also a similar line on the S corporation K-1 worksheet if flowing the DPAD from an S corporation. .

Heck, I have no idea if this will work but might be worth a try.

  • Print out your not ready to file 8903
  • Fill out the IRS online PDF of 8903 and print it out
  • Override any place on the return that the 8903 carries to
  • attach a PDF of the 8903 you printed from the IRS
  • Turn off error checking
  • Transmit and pray.

I'm considering trying the same thing with a 6252, when I get closer to 3-1

I would say that the Form 8903 that isn't available till 3/31 was the "old" way of reporting DPAD.

Going thru the smart worksheets below the Schedule F will flow thru till you get a 8995 Sch C and then a Schedule D for Patron to report the deduction on the 1040 level and avoid using the Form 8903 completely.

Is that  how you see it?

Yes.  Form 8903 was the "old way".  Nobody should be using Form 8903 any more. 

DPAD is dead except for cooperatives passing it through to their patrons on Form 1099-PATR and partnerships/S corps that receive a Form 1099-PATR passing it on to their partners/shareholders.

Everything flows through the Form 8995A from the smart worksheets on Schedule F and the K-1 worksheets if you're dealing with a DPAD from a cooperative.
