Foreign sales corporations' (FSC) tax policy for calculation of estimated tax and refund claims is inefficient, causing administrative delays and burdens for the corporation and the government. FSC refunds should not need Joint Committee on Taxation review because the refund amount is balanced by the increased tax liability incurred by their related supplier. The problem with estimated tax is that FSC's are unable to accurately calculated combined tax income (CTI) until after the tax-year closes. In addition, filing extensions require a 90% payment which is impossible without the CTI calculation.

Refunds of overpaid estimated tax payments and using a loss year to offset taxes owed for the prior year are two ways to maximize cash flow through tax planning. The IRS will refund overpayments of estimated taxes before a return is filed, although the refunded sum is treated as if never paid for calculating tax liability. If a loss year is expected, proper documentation of the net operating loss (NOL) filed with the IRS can be used to reduce current liability for a previous year's debt by applying the carryback for the NOL. Refunds require form 4466, and 1139 is used to file for NOL carryback.
