Instructions for Form IT-658 Additional Restaurant Return-to-Work Credit
IT-658-I
General information
For tax years that include December 31, 2022, the additional restaurant return-to-work credit is available to small business entities who operate predominately in the food services sector and have suffered economic harm due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
You must submit a completed application to Empire State Development (ESD) to claim the credit. If your application is approved, ESD will issue a certificate detailing the amount of tax credit available to claim. All determinations regarding eligibility are made by ESD.
For more information about the additional restaurant-return-to-work credit, visit the ESD website at www.esd.ny.gov and see Restaurant Return-to-Work Credit.
Eligibility
You are eligible for this credit if you:
- are subject to tax under Tax Law Article 9-A or 22;
- received the restaurant return-to-work credit for your 2021 tax year;
- did not cease operations on or before March 31, 2022; and
- have received or are the owner of a business entity that has received, a certificate of additional tax credit issued by ESD.
Credit details
The additional restaurant return-to-work credit is equal to $5,000 per each increase in the number of full-time equivalent employees that is more than 10 but no more than 20, up to a maximum of $50,000 per entity. You must use the same date you chose to compute your 2021 restaurant return-to-work credit. The jobs for these employees must continue to exist as of March 31, 2022.
The credit cannot reduce the tax due to less than zero. If you have any unused amount of this credit for the current tax year, you may choose to have the overpayment of tax refunded or credited to next year’s tax. Interest will not be paid on the refund or overpayment.
How to claim the credit
If you are an individual, a beneficiary or fiduciary of an estate or trust, a partner in a partnership (including members of a limited liability company (LLC) treated as a partnership for federal tax purposes), or a shareholder of an S corporation claim the credit by filing Form IT-658 with your tax return.
An estate or trust that divides the credit among itself and its beneficiaries must submit Form IT-658 with Form IT-205, Fiduciary Income Tax Return, showing each beneficiary’s share of the credit.
A partnership must file Form IT-658 with Form IT-204, Partnership Return, showing the total credit.
A New York S corporation does not file Form IT-658. It must file Form CT-658, Additional Restaurant Return-to-Work Credit.
If you are a shareholder of an S corporation, obtain your share of the credit from the S corporation and follow the instructions on this form for claiming the credit on your personal income tax return.
