Federal input screens

Screen St CO - State Passive Carryovers (1040)

Overview

Use this screen to enter the percentage of federal net income or the amount of net income attributable to a specific state for Schedules C, E, and F and Form 4835 activities. This screen is also used to enter state-specific (Arkansas (Schedule C only), California, Connecticut, Hawaii, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Montana, New York, Oregon, and Wisconsin only) passive and section 179 carryover information (including Alabama and New Hampshire) for Schedules C, E, and F and Form 4835 activities. Information entered in this screen automatically transfers to the appropriate state for use in state specific calculations. For more information, access the input screen help for the appropriate state application by pressing F1 from within a state input screen.
Use the State allocation spreadsheet for UltraTax/1040 multi-state processing for the St CO screen. Enter all multi-state data at the federal level via the State allocation spreadsheet for each unit of a single entity.
With the State allocation spreadsheet, multiple C, F, Rent, and 4835 screens will not be needed at the federal return level for a single entity to affect multiple-state processing. In addition, individual allocation percentages and allocated net income amounts, in total, are not required to foot with the federal amount, so individual state's law differences can be conveniently taken into consideration.
For more information, see Processing multiple-state returns.

Use these fields to allocate the amount of federal net income from this specific activity to the specified state when processing a single state return. If multiple states are being processed with this client, or if a California part-year resident or nonresident return is being processed, enter either the percentage of federal net income
OR
 the amount of the federal net income for this specific activity attributable to each state within the State allocation spreadsheet.
When these conditions have been met, access the spreadsheet by clicking the Allocation icon in this screen.

State Passive Activity and Other Information

Use this section to enter state passive activity information and other carryovers. Note that you can enter amounts for both regular and AMT calculations. If the
AMT
 fields are blank, UltraTax CS assumes these amounts are zero.
To access the State allocation spreadsheet, the following conditions must be present in the current client.
  • The client being processed must include at least one state return.
  • You must be viewing Client Organizer Data Entry or Input Screen Data Entry.
  • For the 4835 and F screens, data must exist in the
    Description
     field.
  • For the C screen, data must exist in
    Principal business
     field.
  • For the Rent screen, data must exist in
    Property kind/location
     field.
When these conditions have been met, access the spreadsheet by clicking the Allocation icon in this screen.
Two methods (percentage or amount) of allocation can be used to allocate federal unit net income to the applicable states displayed in the State allocation spreadsheet.
  • Percentage:
     Enter a percentage in XXX.XX format in the first field available in the State allocation spreadsheet. Select the state to which this percentage applies from the fieldview. Select the Apply button. UltraTax CS will automatically calculate the amounts attributable to that state and display the amounts in the spreadsheet. The percentage entered for that particular state will appear below the state name for easy reference. If enabled, individual item amounts can be changed (overwritten) on the spreadsheet from UltraTax CS-calculated amount.
  • Amount:
     In cases where a percentage of the federal amounts do not apply, individual item amounts, if enabled, may be entered in the spreadsheet for the applicable state. Zero (0) is a valid entry and will prevent the state amount from defaulting to the federal calculated amount. If an individual item amount field is left blank, the federal amount, if present, will be used in the state's calculation.
Build-up states that report or otherwise calculate income from these Schedules C, E, and F and Form 4835 activities on an amount by amount basis may be allocated using a percentage only, while passive carryover amounts may be allocated by entering the state- specific carryover amounts within the State allocation spreadsheet.
Other states, which are typically AGI states that require net activity amounts only, may be allocated by percentage or by entering the net amount of activity income/(allowable loss) attributable to the specific state.
The State allocation spreadsheet may be printed in a report format for future reference. Select the Print or Preview button in the lower portion of the spreadsheet. If licensed, you can also print to FileCabinet CS.
Enter last year's state specific (Alabama, California, Connecticut, Hawaii, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Montana, New York, Oregon, and Wisconsin only) regular and AMT passive-loss carryovers for this activity. In future years, this information will proforma automatically.
