How to Report Other Expenses on the Updated Form 8825
Summary
IRS issued guidance on reporting other expenses on the updated Form 8825 for tax year 2025. Partnerships and S corporations not required to file Schedule M-3 must now use Form 8825 line 17 for expenses previously reported on line 15. Schedule M-3 filers must attach Schedule A (Form 8825) and report totals on line 17, with additional expenses on line 30 of Schedule A.
What changed
Form 8825 has been updated for tax year 2025 with new lines added for reporting deductions. Previously, deductions not listed on lines 3 through 14 were reported on line 15. Now, partnerships and S corporations not required to file Schedule M-3 must use line 17 instead. Partnerships and S corporations required to file Schedule M-3 must attach Schedule(s) A (Form 8825) and report the total on Form 8825 line 17, with any remaining other expenses reported on line 30 of Schedule A.
Affected partnerships and S corporations should update their tax preparation procedures for 2025 filings to ensure proper routing of other expenses. Tax practitioners and compliance teams should familiarize themselves with the new line 17 and Schedule A requirements to avoid reporting errors on filed returns.
What to do next
- Review 2025 Form 8825 instructions for new line 17 reporting requirements
- Update internal tax procedures to route other expenses to line 17 for non-Schedule M-3 filers
- Attach Schedule A (Form 8825) and report totals on line 17 if filing Schedule M-3

In years prior to 2025, deductions that weren’t listed on Form 8825, lines 3 through 14, were reported on line 15. Now that new lines have been added to Form 8825, partnerships and S corporations that aren’t required to file Schedule M-3 should treat Form 8825, line 17 the same way, as line 15 was used in previous years. Partnerships and S corporations that are required to file Schedule M-3 are now required to attach Schedule(s) A (Form 8825) and report the total on Form 8825, line 17. If Schedule A is required, any other expenses not already reported on lines 1 through 20 of Schedule A or lines 3 through 14 of Form 8825 should be reported on line 30 of Schedule A.
