  This form is for certain partnerships, including limited liability companies treated as partnerships for federal income tax purposes, who are required to file an Unincorporated Busi-
  ness Tax Return but have no tax liability.  For taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2009, a partnership engaged in an unincorporated business is required to file an Un-
  incorporated Business Tax return if its unincorporated business gross income is more than $95,000.  This form may also be used by a partnership that is not required to file but 
  wishes to disclaim any liability for tax because it is engaged solely in activities exempt from the tax. 
  You may not use this form if: 
  u               You have NYC modifications other than the addback of income and Unincorporated Business Taxes on Schedule B, line 13 of Form NYC-204. 
                  For a complete list of modifications, see instructions for Form NYC-204. 
  u               You allocate total business income within and without NYC.  (If you allocate 100% of your business income to NYC, you may use this form.) 
  u               You claim a credit for Unincorporated Business Tax Paid (see Form NYC-114.7) or other credits (see Forms NYC-114.5, NYC-114.6, NYC-114.8 or NYC-114.12). 
  u               You claim a partial exemption for investment activities. (See instructions to Form NYC-204 "Who is Subject to the Tax".) 
  u               You have any investment income or loss (See instructions for NYC-204, Schedule B, Lines 29 (a-f)). 
  u               You claim any deduction for a net operating loss. (See Form NYC-204, Schedule A, line 11.) 
  u               Your unincorporated business gross income less the allowance for active partners' services is more than $90,000. (See Form NYC-204, Schedule A, line 14.) 
  u               For federal purposes, a portion of your business interest expense deduction would have been disallowed under IRC §163(j) as it existed prior to the CARES Act 
                  (Public Law 116-136) amendments to IRC § 163(j)(10). 
  u               For federal purposes, you have income under IRC sections 951A or 965. 
  u               You received an increase in the federal deduction allowed pursuant to CARES Act amendments to IRC §461(l).
