What is the purpose of Form 14039?
To collect Social Security and other taxes to support government operations. Social Security, Medicare and federal employees' pensions are also considered sources of revenue.
What is required to register my business?
Any individual who conducts business in California must file a Statement of Organization and Tax Record. These filings are available from the California Secretary of State or can be downloaded online through the Department of Taxation's California Business Registration Application Online. If you live outside of California, you must file the registration statement form as a non-resident and pay a federal, state and local tax payable to the applicable government. You may wish to consult a tax professional.
May I file a declaration of state support under the California Business Registration Application Online (the Online Form)?
In certain situations, the Business Registration Application Online may be filed in lieu of a completed business registration. The online form will allow you to include business information as opposed to a paper registration. A California Business Registration Application Online may be filed at any time but may not be submitted until you register your business and file form 14039.
Are there any penalties for refusing to register my business?
Non-compliant businesses may be subject to penalties, including, but not limited to, having their certificates canceled.
Who should complete Form 14039?
You can claim the EI premiums for a spouse you are the primary recipient, you're surviving spouse, a registered family or social organization, a person who is in a qualifying relationship with you, or a spouse of a person or a group of persons in relation to whom you have claimed the EI minimum amount.
For more information, visit the Forms and Publications section or the EI website.
EI minimum amounts
You don't have to file Form 4020 if you're the sole or primary recipient if:
you file Form 4020, Form 8372, or Form 8374 to claim EI premiums for the EI program for the period of 12 quarters ending in the calendar year that includes the month before the month you file Form 4020 or Form 8372
The EI minimum amount, if you have qualifying children
The EI minimum amount, if you have qualifying children who are 18 years of age or older at the time of submission for an employment or self-employed retirement benefits claim:
ends when you become 20, or
if the child is under 18, ends when you turn 19 years of age or
If the child is over 19 years of age, ends 6 months after the day on which you turn 20.
What's the benefit for qualifying children of EI recipients?
The first 1,800 that is paid to you by the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) to you for the year must be paid to you by the first day of the month in which you submit or end your EI claim. The 1,800 will not be taken from your EI benefits when you start getting your regular benefits. Your qualifying children can use the 1,800 from your EI benefits to reduce or add to their own Employment Insurance premiums, or to add any amount for a benefit on a pre-existing self-employment or retirement pension plan, or to purchase an eligible life assurance policy until 6 months after the day on which they turn 20 years of age.
To add 50 to the weekly benefits they receive, they must have a qualifying child.
If they have a qualifying child, and they're also receiving:
receiving employment insurance benefits
an annuity, or
Retirement pensions.
Your children can help reduce their EI premiums and can use the 1,800 to purchase an eligible life assurance policy when applicable.
When do I need to complete Form 14039?
I can file Form 14039 for each spouse if the income in both spouses' combined income is less than 2,050,000. For example, if both spouses earn an annual salary of 100,000, each spouse may file Form 14039 for each spouse if their combined income is 120,000. If the total income of both spouses does not exceed 2,050,000, either spouse may file Form 14039 if the total income earned by both spouses is less than 2,050,000. When filing Form 14039, both spouses need to provide a joint federal tax return.
Am I required to file Form 14039 if I am entitled to an exemption from the filing of a federal tax return?
Generally, you are not required to file Form 14039 if you are entitled to an exemption from the filing of a federal tax return. If your spouse or the spouse you file for and claimed as a dependent on your most recent federal tax return is claiming an exemption, you must still file a joint tax return.
When is an employee eligible for a reduced federal tax rate based on his or her employment as a self-employed business owner?
The term “self-employed business owner” refers to persons who are employed as persons who hold themselves out as being self-employed business owners and who receive any net income from their self-employment. For a discussion, see Publication 16 (Individual Income Tax Filing Guide).

What is the difference between a Form 5500 and Form 1040X?
There is a big difference in how many copies of Form 5500 that you may file (either electronically or print form 5500 from your local post office) and what you must report, particularly with regard to Form 1040X.
With regard to Form 5500, an employer with 50 or fewer employees in a calendar year who is not a self-employed person and files Form 5500 is required to complete a Form 1040X and a Form 5500. If the employer has more than 50 employees and files Form 5500, the employer is the only employer in a specified geographic area. If the employer has more than 100 employees and files Form 5500, only the total tax withheld by the employer for calendar year 2017 is required to be included on Form 1040X.
Can I create my own Form 14039?
The IRS cannot accept Forms 14039 for filing. Therefore, there are no additional methods to file a Form 14039.
How can I determine credit and interest? You can determine credit and interest using the following formula: 1/1+0.25=0.15. Do not divide the result by 0.15.
How do I calculate my tax on Form 1040X? You can use Table 3 to determine how much tax you have to report on Form 1040X.
How do I get the code for income from IRA, 401(k), or 403(b) accounts? We can't help you find this information. However, you can enter the code on Form 1040 or Form 1040A when you file as self-employed. If your return is a return of U.S. income, enter box 12, “Other Income,” for Form 1040, enter the code for U.S. income reported by box 10a of Form 1040A, or enter “NA” for Form 1040. Enter any other code that you may enter on the line for box 12, “Other Income” on Form 1040, Form 1040A, or Form 1040EZ.
Can I get my employer to make Schedule SE to show that my business earnings were nonbusiness income (nonbusiness item)? The information shown on Form 2106A or 2106EZ is required, but the IRS allows your employer to provide a separate Schedule SE showing your business expenses, such as travel for meetings, business meals, and miscellaneous business expenses. Use Schedule SE to provide the information indicated on Form 2106A or Form 2106EZ. You don't need to attach this Schedule SE each year on tax returns that you file. You'll be notified that schedules are available for you to view by December 31 of each year, or earlier if necessary. The business expenses you're required to itemize are shown separately on Schedule E and Form 2106A. Some employees, such as partners and officers of a partnership, may not be allowed to use expenses related to their partnership business.

How many people fill out Form 14039 each year?
How many are the children of dead people, and why is this a great business opportunity?
If you answer the first three questions truthfully, you've just answered them all.
This particular form is created by the FRS when someone's name is in a missing persons' database, and the person is still alive. It's a relatively new piece of the puzzle that is causing many businesses (both individuals and businesses seeking to profit from them on the FRS' behalf) some sleepless nights. Most people who fill out the form either don't know what they're filling it out for, or they're filling it out for just one party.
But, a lot of businesses have been filling it out because of this:
Many people find the name of a deceased person on the form by doing one of two things:
Searching The U.S. Death Row Database. We've detailed before the reasons behind why, but the FRS uses this database to check if a person or a person's name is already in the database. However, because the FRS uses the Death Row Database to check if someone is dead, it's an imperfect process. It might not be 100% accurate, if a person's name comes from the wrong Death Row Database. (Also, see, why the people on dead people's lists are not all guilty).

For example, you can search for a person online, and a name will be printed in the upper corner of the main page. This is less accurate for some missing persons we have, and it's very cumbersome and can take a long time for them to get a result.

Is there a due date for Form 14039?
A. The due date for Form 14039 is as of the date the Form 14039 was filed or on the date a refund is claimed. A refund claim is a transaction in which a taxpayer obtains a refund or claim for refund from the IRS.
Q: Will there be a filing requirement for Form 14039(a)?
A: No. To have a liability for a tax return and for a return if the return is required to be filed, the taxpayer must file a return on a form required under section 6050W or 6055. On that form, the taxpayer can elect to be a party in interest (the taxpayer's agent for tax review and/or return processing) and must file on that form. In the event that the taxpayer elects as a third party in interest and a return is required, the taxpayer must have filed the return on a form required under section 6050W or 6055.
Q: Can a taxpayer file Form 14039 on time because a timely filing requirement exists under a particular tax law?
A. A taxpayer does not have a right to file a timely filed tax return under a particular tax law until the tax return is filed. In most cases, the filing of a return on time is not an election under a particular law that requires filing a return on a particular date.
To be a valid election under the particular law, the taxpayer must have filed a timely filed form required under the applicable section during the applicable time period. For example, under the Internal Revenue Code, a taxpayer cannot file Form 14039 during either of the following times:
September 15, 2014 — the filing requirement for a 2012 IRS tax return (Form 1040), and
October 15, 2015 — the filing requirement for a 2015 IRS tax return (Form 1040 or Form 1040-EZ).
If the taxpayer elects to be a third party in interest, the taxpayer will use Form 14039, as the taxpayer's tax return will be processed on a Form 14039, for tax liability purposes.
Q. The Form 14039 is due by the filing due date, but isn't filing on time. What can be done?
A. The taxpayer should consult with the taxpayer's tax advisor or attorney to determine options for filing the Form 14039.
Q. I filed my Form 8886 as required. Can I get a refund?
A.
