Corporations
Foreign corporations that have effectively connected

has been fully paid through withholding by the
payor. If the corporation is due a refund or owes
tax, a return must be filed.
Form
1120-F must be filed with the Internal Revenue
Service Center, Philadelphia, PA 19255 by the
15th day of the 6th month after the end of the
foreign corporation's tax year, if the foreign
corporation does not maintain an office or place
of business in the United States. Such foreign
corporation may use Form 7004 to request an automatic
6-month extension of time to file.
If a foreign corporation maintains an office or
place of business in the United States, it must
file Form 1120-F by the 15th day of the 3rd month
after the end of its tax year. A corporation operating
in this manner may get a 3-month extension by
attaching a statement to its Form 1120-F.
