Adjust the income of a business, farm, or rental for state law differences or source allocations

The calculation of Schedules CA and CA (540NR) begins with data entered in the federal C, Rent, F, and 4835 screens. For part-year and nonresident returns, activities with postal code
CA
that aren't allocated using the state allocation spreadsheet will transfer 100 percent to California sources. Activities with any other postal code will transfer 0 percent to California sources. When you enter data in the state allocation spreadsheet, California source amounts are calculated by multiplying the total income and total expenses by the
Percent of federal allocated to state
entered in the federal StCO screen with postal code
CS
(California Source).
note
When the federal StCO screen with postal code
CS
is blank, UltraTax CS uses the amounts in the StCO screen with postal code
CA
.

Depreciation

California depreciation adjustments automatically transfer from information entered in the asset module. Information transfers to the CADepr screen from the
CA
(California state tax) treatment for all assets. When you force amounts in the federal input screen, UltraTax CS uses 100 percent of the forced amounts entered for total source calculations. For part-year and nonresident returns, depreciation expense allocates to California source calculations using the entry in the
Percent of federal allocated to state
field in the StCO screen for the activity.
note
California Schedule CA Reconciliation Report displays the income and expenses calculated by UltraTax CS. To adjust California net income for income or expense differences, use the field available in the state input screen for each activity. All calculations include adjustments made in these fields, including Form 6198, At-Risk Limitations, and Form 3801, Passive Activity Loss Limitations.
Schedule R is available in the
California Non Calculating
folder to calculate the percentage to enter in the state allocation spreadsheet.
