Federal Tax Form 8903 - Domestic Prodution Activities Deduction

Tax Form 8903 is used to figure your domestic production activities deduction (DPAD)

Your DPAD is generally 3% of the smaller of:

  1. Your qualified production activities income (QPAI), or
  2. Your adjusted gross income for an individual, estate, or trust (taxable income for all other taxpayers) figured without the DPAD.

However, your DPAD generally cannot be more than 50% of the Form W-2 wages you paid to your employees.
