Rules for filling out income tax returns
Along with the approval of the income tax return form, Order No. ММВ-7-3/ [email protected] also established the rules for entering information into it, which covers the composition of the document, general requirements for filling out and the procedure for filling out. The instructions given in Appendix 2 offer step-by-step guidance in drawing up a document on how to fill out an income tax return.
Usually, drawing up a document according to the instructions of the Federal Tax Service does not raise any questions, but there are several nuances that are worth mentioning. For example, page 210 (amount of accrued advances) of sheet 02 of the declaration for the year is filled out differently depending on how the company pays advances:
- if the transfer of monthly advances is carried out before the 28th day, then the amount recorded in lines 180 and 290 of the tax return for the organization’s income tax for 9 months is entered on page 210 of the declaration for the year;
- if the company pays advances on a monthly basis on the actual profit received, then on page 210 indicate the amount of tax on line 180 for 11 months;
- when transferring payments quarterly, page 210 contains information corresponding to the data in line 180 of the income tax return for 9 months.
Filling out the income tax return is carried out on the basis of the company’s financial statements. We invite you to familiarize yourself with the algorithm for drawing up a document using a simple example that demonstrates a step-by-step calculation procedure in accordance with the requirements of tax authorities.

Income tax: example of filling out a declaration in 2021
Initial data:
Based on the results of the 1st quarter of 2021, the following income was received:
- from sales – 2400 thousand rubles.
- non-operating – 1000 thousand rubles.
Expenses amounted to:
- for sales – 1060 thousand rubles;
- non-operating – 42 thousand rubles.
Tax rate 20%.
Let's calculate the tax: ((2,400,000 + 1,000,000) – (1,060,000 + 42,000)) x 20% = 459,600 rubles. and draw up a declaration.

- Correction number (for the first submission – “0—”, for subsequent submissions – numbered in ascending order – “1—”, “2—”, etc.);
- reporting period code. It depends:
- from the period itself (quarters are encrypted as follows - 21 (1 quarter), 31 (half-year), 33 (9 months), 34 - (year);

Step 2. Filling out Appendix 1 sheet 02
Despite the fact that the income tax return begins with section 1, in which the tax amount should be entered, it is more convenient to draw up the document from sheet 02, where the tax is calculated. Let's start filling out Appendix 1 of sheet 02 and enter data on income:
In line 010 – total revenue in the amount of 2,400,000 rubles, which consists of
- revenue from sales of manufactured products RUB 2,000,000. (page 011), and
- purchased goods 400,000 rub. (page 012).
Lines 011 to 014 reflect the amounts of revenue by source of income.
Line 040 of the declaration Pr.1 of sheet 02 for income tax is the total for the amount of sales revenue. Next, fill in the lines for the amounts of income from non-operating operations. According to the conditions of the problem, the company received 1,000,000 rubles. as income from previous years (p. 100). Lines 101-106 are intended to decipher income from other activities.

Step 3. Filling out Appendix 2 to sheet 02
Information about expenses (losses) from all types of activities is indicated here. Lines 010-030 reflect the company's direct costs. Lines 040 and 041 are indirect. Line 041 of the income tax return requires special attention. It records costs that are indirectly related to production. It is important to clearly determine whether all of them can be taken into account when calculating income tax (Article 270 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation).
Lines 200 – 206 are filled in with information about non-operating expenses, and lines 300 – 302 reflect losses equated to non-operating expenses.

Reporting for 2021 will be accepted in a new form. The annual profit report in 2021 has changed slightly compared to the previous form; the main innovations are given below:
- Lines have been added to the form to display the trade tax, by the amount of which entrepreneurs are allowed to reduce the amount of tax.
- The taxable amount can be reduced by no more than 50% when writing off losses from previous years. But at the same time, all time restrictions have been canceled (previously the period was 10 years).
- For free economic zone entities that charge tax at a reduced rate, a taxpayer attribute was added to the income tax reports for 2018.
- The declaration now has sheet 08, where residents will be able to independently adjust the amounts of tax payments and the tax base.
- Another change concerns foreign companies: sheet 09 was added to the profit reporting for 2021 to display indicators.
Registration and submission of declarations
The 2021 income return will consist of 37 sheets, but taxpayers do not have to complete all pages of the return. Sections in which there is nothing to indicate or intended for certain groups of taxpayers should also be excluded from the document. Submit income tax reports in 2018 within the deadlines established by current legislation.
In the declaration, it is necessary to fill out the title page, subsection 1.1, sheet 02 and its annexes. Subsection 1.2 was created for entities that make advance tax payments on a monthly basis, and subsection 1.3 is filled out by companies paying tax in the form of dividends. In 2021, the submission of income tax reports is carried out by all organizations working on OSNO. If officials submit income tax reports for 2021 according to the calendar, they will not have problems with the Federal Tax Service.
Deadlines for submitting documents
Deadlines for income tax reporting for 2021 have been approved, according to which responsible persons are required to bring a package of documents to the territorial divisions of the Federal Tax Service:
- the deadline for the annual profit report in 2021 is until March 28;
- for 1 sq. – until 04/28/17;
- for 2 sq. – until July 28, 2017;
- for 3 sq. – until October 28, 2017
LLC income tax reporting for 2021 is submitted in electronic format, provided that the company employed more than 100 employees during the year. Otherwise, you can submit a declaration on paper. If financial statements and profit reports are not submitted on time in 2021, penalties will be imposed on the company. Violation of the procedure for submitting documents to the Federal Tax Service is punishable by penalties in the amount of 5% of the tax amount.
Tax rate
In 2021, the income tax reporting rate will be 20%. The bet size remained the same. But as of January 1, 2017, the distribution of profits into the regional and federal parts changed. Thus, starting from 2021, 3% of the amount of taxes paid is transferred to the federal budget, and 17% to the municipal budget.
In the financial statements for 2021, profit is shown in full, but the rate may differ for different organizations. In addition, all income of a legal entity can be divided into two types: taxable and non-taxable. The list of non-taxable income is given in Article 25 of the Tax Code. The following are organizations that apply a zero tax rate:
- institutions carrying out educational or medical activities;
- subjects of social services;
- firms receiving income in the form of interest (details are specified in Article 284 of the Tax Code).
Calculation of tax payment
The calculation of income tax in 2021 in the reporting will be given using the example of Zarya LLC. This organization completed the reporting period with the following indicators:
- sales revenue – 2 million rubles. (including VAT – 300 thousand rubles);
- costs for raw materials and materials - 700 thousand rubles;
- payment of wages to working personnel - 400 thousand rubles;
- insurance payments paid – 104 thousand rubles;
- tax loss of the previous reporting period – 150 thousand rubles.
Let's determine the enterprise's expenses: (700 + 400 + 104) = 1204 thousand rubles.
Let's calculate the profit subject to taxation: (2,000 – 300 – 1204 – 150) = 346 thousand rubles.
Let's determine the amount of income tax in 2021 for reporting to the Federal Tax Service: (346 ˟ 20%) = 69.2 thousand rubles.
