In Section 2, taxpayers calculate the total amount of income subject to taxation, the tax base and the amount of tax subject to payment (addition) to the budget or refund from the budget, based on income taxed at the rate specified in indicator field 001 of Section 2.
If the taxpayer received income taxed at different tax rates during the tax period, then the calculation of the tax base and the amount of tax payable to the budget (refund from the budget) is filled out on a separate sheet for the amount of taxes on income taxed at each tax rate.
Depending on the type of income reflected in the Declaration, the corresponding attribute is entered in indicator field 002 of Section 2 “Type of income”:
- 1 - when reflecting income from equity participation in an organization in the form of dividends;

The calculation of the tax base, as well as the amount of tax subject to payment (addition) to the budget or refund from the budget, in relation to income from equity participation in an organization in the form of dividends, as well as in relation to income in the form of profits of controlled foreign companies, is carried out on a separate sheet.
The total amount of income, with the exception of income in the form of profits of controlled foreign companies, received by the taxpayer in the tax period for which the Declaration is submitted (line 010), taxed at the rate specified in indicator field 001 of Section 2, is determined by adding the following indicators:

When filling out this line, the amounts of income in the form of profits of controlled foreign companies are not taken into account.

- in accordance with paragraphs 60 and 66 of Article 217 of the Code, transferred from lines 071 and 072 of Appendix 2, respectively;
- in accordance with other provisions of Article 217 of the Code is transferred from line 120 of Appendix 4.
The total amount of income, excluding income in the form of profits of controlled foreign companies, subject to taxation (line 030), is calculated by subtracting the indicator on line 020 from the indicator on line 010.
The amount of tax deductions that reduces the tax base (line 040) is determined by adding the values of the following indicators:
- the amount of professional tax deductions provided for in Article 221 of the Code (the sum of the values of the indicators of lines 060 and 150 of Appendix 3);
- the amount of standard and social tax deductions provided for in Articles 218 and 219 of the Code, as well as the amount of investment tax deduction provided for in subparagraph 2 of paragraph 1 of Article 219.1 of the Code (the sum of the values of the indicators of lines 070, 181, 200 and 210 of Appendix 5);
- the amount of property tax deductions for income from the sale of property (property rights), from the seizure of property (property rights) for state or municipal needs, as well as the amount of tax deductions for the sale of shares in the authorized capital and for the assignment of the right of claim under an agreement for participation in shared construction, provided for in Article 220 of the Code (line 160 of Appendix 6);

- the amount of investment tax deduction provided for in subparagraph 3 of paragraph 1 of Article 219.1 of the Code, accepted for deduction for the totality of transactions performed (indicator on line 070 of Appendix 8).
If the calculation of the tax base and tax amount is made in relation to income not taxed at a tax rate of 13 percent, then a zero is entered in line 040.
The amount of tax deductions (line 040) and the amount of expenses taken to reduce income received (line 050) in total cannot exceed the value of line 030.
The amount of expenses taken to reduce income received (line 050) is determined by indicating the amount of expenses (losses) for the totality of transactions with securities, derivative financial instruments, including transactions accounted for on an individual investment account in accordance with Articles 214.1, 214.3, 214.4, 214.9 of the Code, as well as transactions performed by the taxpayer as part of participation in investment partnerships (the sum of the values of the indicators of lines 040 and 052 of Appendix 8).
The total amount of income in the form of profits of controlled foreign companies (line 051) is determined based on the amounts of this type of income taxed at the appropriate tax rate specified in lines 070 of Appendix 2.
The tax base is reflected on line 060 and is calculated as the difference between the total amount of income, with the exception of income in the form of profits of controlled foreign companies subject to taxation (line 030), the total amount of income in the form of profits of controlled foreign companies (line 051), and the total the amount of tax deductions (line 040) and expenses taken to reduce income received, reflected on line 050. If the result is negative or equal to zero, then a zero is entered in line 060.
To calculate the amount of tax on income taxed at a certain tax rate, subject to payment (addition) or refund from the budget, the taxpayer indicates:
in line 070 - the total amount of tax calculated for payment, which is determined by multiplying the tax base reflected in line 060 by the corresponding tax rate (in percentage);
in line 080 - the total amount of tax withheld at the source of payment of income, which is determined by adding the amounts of tax withheld at the source of payment of income taxed at a similar tax rate, indicated in lines 080 of Appendix 1;
in line 090 - the total amount of tax withheld at the source of payment of income in accordance with subparagraph 1 of paragraph 1 of Article 212 of the Code, in relation to income in the form of material benefits.
This line is filled in by taxpayers who are tax residents of the Russian Federation who have received from the tax authority confirmation of the right to a property tax deduction for expenses incurred on new construction or acquisition of property provided for in Article 220 of the Code, after the tax on income in the form of material benefits received from savings on interest for the use of borrowed (credit) funds issued for new construction or acquisition on the territory of the Russian Federation of a residential building, apartment, room or share(s) in them, land plots provided for individual housing construction, and land plots for of which the purchased residential buildings are located, or the share(s) in them, was actually withheld by tax agents at a rate of 35 percent.

in line 100 - the amount of trade tax paid in the tax period, subject to offset in accordance with the provisions of paragraph 5 of Article 225 of the Code.
In this case, the value of line indicator 100 cannot exceed the value of line indicator 070.

in line 140 - the amount of tax paid in connection with the application of the patent tax system, subject to offset in accordance with the provisions of paragraph 7 of Article 346.45&a
Calculation of mandatory payment
This section raises the most questions in practice. It is necessary to know not only the amount of the base and the fee rate, but also the applicable deductions (listed in special sheets). After determining the base, taking into account deductions, the tax is quite simple to determine.
Filling out other sheets can also be difficult if you have no practice in filling out the declaration. It is necessary to follow the explanations in the form itself and indicate the data strictly in the right places.
It may be easier to understand the program for filling out the form. There are six required fields to fill out:
- Setting conditions.
- Information about the declarant.
- Income.
- Property deduction.
- Standard.
- Social.
All data is also entered in accordance with the documents. But filling out the program is much easier: there are hints, and the information is more concentrated, some data is already entered, for example, the rate is 13%. There are also some features: to receive property deductions, you need to uncheck the “Standard deductions” line, for example, tabs are displayed in the form of pictures (sale of property - house), etc.
Which filling option to choose depends on the declarant himself. If necessary, you can turn to the Federal Tax Service for help (but keep in mind that specialists will not fill out the declaration for a citizen) or to specialists.
