General Information
A Purpose
Use form FTB 3507, Prison Inmate Labor Credit, to figure a credit for 
wages paid to prison inmates under an approved joint venture with the 
California Department of Corrections. Also use this form to claim pass-
through prison inmate labor credits you received from S corporations, 
estates, trusts, partnerships, or limited liability  companies (LLCs) 
 classified as partnerships.
S corporations, estates, trusts, partnerships, and LLCs classified as 
partnerships should complete form FTB 3507 to figure the amount 
of credit to pass through to shareholders, beneficiaries, partners, or 
 members. Attach this form to Form 100S, California S Corporation 
Franchise or Income Tax Return; Form 541, California Fiduciary Income 
Tax Return; Form 565, Partnership Return of Income; or Form 568, 
Limited Liability Company Return of Income. Show the pass-through 
credit for each shareholder,  beneficiary, partner, or member on 
Schedule K-1 (100S, 541, 565, or 568) Share of Income, Deductions, 
Credits, etc.
B Qualifications
California allows a credit equal to 10% of the wages paid to each 
 prisoner who is employed under an approved joint venture with the 
California Department of Corrections.
The credit amount is based on wages paid to each qualifying employee 
during the taxable year for the duration of the contract agreement.
The credit applies only to wages paid pursuant to a contract agreement, 
between the director of corrections and the joint venture  employer, 
 executed on or before the day the individual begins work for the 
 employer. 
C Limitations
S corporations may claim only 1/3 of the credit against the 1.5% 
entity-level tax (3.5% for financial S corporations). The remaining 2/3 
must be disregarded and may not be used as a carryover. S corporations 
can pass through 100% of the credit to their  shareholders.
If a taxpayer owns an interest in a disregarded business entity 
[a single member limited liability company (SMLLC) not recognized 
by  California, and for tax purposes is treated as a sole proprietorship 
owned by an individual or a branch owned by a corporation], the 
 usable credit amount received from the disregarded entity is limited 
to the  difference between the taxpayer’s regular tax figured with the 
income of the  disregarded entity, and the taxpayer’s regular tax figured 
without the income of the disregarded entity.
For more information on SMLLC, get Form 568, Limited Liability 
Company Tax Booklet.
This credit cannot reduce the regular tax below the minimum franchise 
tax (corporations and S corporations), the annual tax (limited 
partnerships, limited liability partnerships, and LLCs classified as 
a partnership), the alternative minimum tax (corporations, exempt 
organizations, individuals, and fiduciaries), the built-in gains tax 
(S corporations), or the excess net passive income tax (S corporations). 
This credit cannot reduce regular tax below the tentative minimum tax 
(TMT). Get Schedule P (100, 100W, 540, 540NR, or 541), Alternative 
Minimum Tax and Credit Limitations, for more information.
There is no provision for carryover of any unused credit to succeeding 
tax years and in no event can you carry this credit back and apply it 
against a prior year’s tax.
This credit is not refundable.

members of a combined reporting group may be assigned to an affiliated
