Line 2 Lines 4 and 5 Line 6 Line 8
Report differences attributable to section 263A. [For example, if book inventory costs equal section 471 inventory costs, report differences between section 471 inventory costs and section 263A inventory costs.] LIFO taxpayers using the simplified production method or the simplified resale method should report the amount of additional §263A costs computed after LIFO computations. LIFO taxpayers not using a simplified §263A method should report costs attributable to additional §263A prior to performing LIFO computation. Differences due to purchasing, storage and handling costs should generally be reported on line n (to the extent not already included in lines a through m).
If the taxpayer does not distinguish between obsolescence and excess inventory reserves and lower of cost or market write-downs in its general ledger, report all amounts relating to these reserves on line 4 for excess inventory and obsolescence reserves.
Attach Form 8916-A to each separate Schedule M-3.
