The real estate mortgage investment conduit (REMIC) uses Schedule Q to notify you of your share of the REMIC’s quarterly taxable income, the excess inclusion, and your share of the REMIC’s section 212 expenses for the quarter. While the REMIC isn't subject to income tax, you're liable for tax on your share of the REMIC's taxable income and must include it on your tax return.
What is the use of Schedule Q:
- Quarterly Taxable Income: It reports the share of the REMIC's taxable income or net loss for the quarter
- Excess Inclusion: It details the excess inclusion with respect to the residual interest holder's interest
- Section 212 Expenses: It shows the residual interest holder's share of the REMIC's section 212 expenses for the quarter .
