Part-year or nonresident return selected in Client Properties:
UltraTax CS uses the part-year residency dates entered in the
IDNRPY
screen to calculate the grocery credit for part-year residents. The grocery credits for the taxpayer and spouse are calculated separately. If a part-year resident is eligible to receive the grocery credit for only a portion of the time spent in the state as a resident, enter the number of days qualified to receive the credit. If the number of days entered exceeds the time entered as a resident in the
IDNRPY
screen, UltraTax CS defaults to using the dates entered in the
IDNRPY
screen to calculate the grocery credit. The grocery credit calculated for dependents in a married filing joint return use their taxpayer, spouse, joint designation as noted in the federal
1040
screen,
Dependent
statement window. If no T/S/J designation is assigned, then the dependent uses the taxpayer's calculated grocery credit. Dependents designated as joint in the federal
1040
screen,
Dependents
statement window, use the higher of the 2 calculated grocery credits if both married filing joint filers isn't eligible to receive the full entitled amount of grocery credit. If any resident isn't eligible for the grocery credit for the entire year, enter
0
(zero) and no grocery credit is calculated for that filer.
