Instructions

Purpose of form. The United States and Guam or the CNMI use Form 5074 to figure the individual income tax that is due to Guam or the CNMI. Who must file. If you were a U.S. citizen or resident alien (other than a bona fide resident of Guam or the CNMI), you may need to file Form 5074. Complete this form if all of the following apply to you (and to your spouse if filing a joint return).

  • You file a U.S. income tax return.

  • You report adjusted gross income (AGI) of $50,000 or more.

  • At least $5,000 of the gross income on your return is from either Guam or CNMI sources.

See Pub. 570, Tax Guide for Individuals With Income From U.S. Territories, available at www.irs.gov/ Pub570 . Part I—Income From Guam or the CNMI Note: See Schedule 1 (Form 1040), Part I, for additional income from Guam or the CNMI not reported on page 1 of your tax return. Source of income. The rules for determining the source of income are explained in sections 861 through 865 and section 937, Regulations section 1.937-2, and chapter 2 of Pub. 570. Some general rules include the following.

  • The source of wages, salaries, or tips is generally where the services are performed. If you worked both in and outside Guam or the CNMI, include on line 1 only wages, salaries, or tips earned while you were in Guam or the CNMI. However, certain income earned while temporarily performing services in Guam or the CNMI will not be considered income from Guam or the CNMI.

De minimis exception. This is an exception to the general rule for determining the source of income earned in Guam or the CNMI. Generally, income from Guam or the CNMI does not include compensation for services performed in Guam or the CNMI if during 2025 you:

  • Were a U.S. citizen or resident;

  • Were not a bona fide resident of Guam or the CNMI;

  • Were not employed by or under contract with an individual, partnership, or corporation that is engaged in a trade or business in Guam or the CNMI;

  • Temporarily performed services in Guam or the CNMI for 90 days or less; and

  • Earned $3,000 or less from such services. Active duty U.S. Armed Forces. If you are a bona fide resident of Guam or the CNMI and are stationed outside your territory of residence, your military compensation will be sourced in Guam or the CNMI, as applicable, under the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act (SCRA). If you are not a bona fide resident of one of those territories but perform services in one of them, however, your military compensation will not be sourced there. For further details, see Pub. 570.

Military spouses. If you are the civilian spouse of a member of the U.S. Armed Forces, work in Guam or the CNMI, and retain a residence or domicile in one of the 50 states or the District of Columbia under the Military Spouses Residency Relief Act (MSRRA), your wages, salaries, tips, and self-employment income will not be considered income from Guam or the CNMI. Under MSRRA, the military spouse must be in Guam or the CNMI solely to be with their servicemember spouse who is serving in compliance with military orders. For details on MSRRA, see Pub. 570.

  • The source of interest income is generally where the payer is located. For example, Guam or CNMI source income includes interest from a certificate of deposit issued by a bank or branch of a U.S. bank in Guam or the CNMI.

  • Generally, dividends are sourced where the paying corporation is created or organized.

  • Taxable refunds, credits, or offsets of local Guam or CNMI income taxes are sourced in that specific territory and only include nonmirror code income taxes.

  • Alimony received from a person who is a bona fide resident of Guam or the CNMI is sourced in that specific territory.

  • Except as provided in regulations, income that is from sources within the United States or effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States is not income from Guam or the CNMI.

  • The source of gains, profits, or income from the sale or disposition of real property (and any interest in real property) is generally where the real property is located.

Personal property. The source of income from the sale of nondepreciable personal property is generally the seller’s residence. For example, if you are a U.S. citizen or resident alien and not a bona fide resident of Guam or the CNMI, gain from the sale or disposition of personal property is generally treated as U.S. source. Income from the sale of inventory is generally sourced where the title to the property passes. However, in some cases, such as when the taxpayer produces or purchases the inventory within a U.S. territory, and then sells the inventory within the United States, source is based on allocation. See section 865 for details. Part II—Adjustments to Income From Guam or the CNMI Note: See Schedule 1 (Form 1040), Part II, for adjustments to income from Guam or the CNMI.

If you had Guam or CNMI source selfemployment income, figure the amount to enter on each line by (1) dividing your Guam or CNMI source self-employment income by your total (worldwide) self-employment income, and (2) multiplying the total amount of each deduction that applies to you by the result in (1).

This amount is your adjusted gross income.
