Screen 6198-2 - At-Risk Limitations, Page 2 (1040)

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 Data Entry Screen.
  • For the 6198 screen data must exist in the
    Description
    field.
  • At least one field must have preparer-entered data present.
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 amounts 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. Select the Apply button. The amounts attributable to that state automatically calculate and display 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 (overridden) on the spreadsheet from the amount calculated.
  • 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.
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 state amounts if different from federal amounts.
For more information, access the input screen help for the appropriate state application by pressing F1 from within a state input screen. Also, refer to Processing multiple-state returns.
