The following changes should be made to Publications 17 and 529 to include the term "mortgage interest," as shown. Publication 17, page 172, column 3, the first list item under the heading "Limit on the deduction" should be changed to: "1) The business percentage of the otherwise deductible mortgage interest, real estate taxes, and casualty and theft losses." Publication 17, page 172, column 3, the second paragraph under the heading "How to report" should be changed to: "Include the home office expenses for mortgage interest, real estate taxes, and casualty and theft losses on the appropriate lines of Schedule A, along with your deductible nonbusiness expenses in those categories." The same changes should be made to Publication 529, page 2, column 3.

Announcement 92-4
An error in the 1991 Schedule D (Form 1041) is corrected. The parenthetical in line 37 of the 1991 Schedule D (Form 1041) incorrectly states: "(Enter the smaller of line 16 or line 17, column (c).)" It should state: "(Enter the smaller of line 16 or 17, column(b).)"

Announcement 92-5
For tax years beginning in 1992, the Tax Extension Act of 1991 (1991 Act) increased the amount of estimated tax all corporations (including S corporations and exempt organizations subject to unrelated business income tax) must pay from 90% to 93% of the corporation's current year tax liability. The increase applies whether the corporation uses the regular installment method, the annualized income installment method, or the adjusted seasonal installment method.

A revised version of the 1992 Form 1120-W, Corporation Estimated Tax, is being printed to reflect the change made by the 1991 Act. Corporations must use the revised version instead of the original version included in the Form 1120 packages that were mailed to corporate filers. The revised form is distinguished from the original form by the notation "(Rev. 1-92)" under "1992" in the upper right corner of the form. The revised version should be available from IRS distribution centers by the end of January 1992. Forms may be ordered by calling 1-800-829-3676.

Filers of returns for S corporations and exempt organizations should note that the 1991 instructions for Forms 1120S and 990-T, which contain estimated tax rules, were printed before the 1991 Act was passed. Therefore, in the instructions for Form 1120-S on page 3 (page 6 of the instructions for Form 990-T), substitute "93%" for "90%" each place it appears in the "Estimated Tax" text.
