Screen MJDETGen - Detroit General Information (1040)

Show all hidden content

Overview

Use this screen to complete the Detroit individual resident income tax returns. Information entered in this input screen is used with information in the
MJCGen
 screen and the other Michigan city screens in order to calculate the return. If information transferred from UltraTax/1040 doesn't need more data or coding, UltraTax/1040-MI Cities show it on the form only, not in the input screen.
Federal-to-state input screen and asset module data transfer
If information is transferred from federal input screens or from the asset module to a state input screen, the application displays the transferred data in blue.
For example: transferred data in blue
If necessary, you can overrule the transferred amount by entering the amount in the field. The application then displays the new amount in black.
note
  • When you overrule a transferred amount, the application doesn’t replace that amount with subsequent federal-to-state or asset module data transfers.
  • To delete the overruled amount and restore the original transferred amount, right-click the field and choose Delete overrule or simply enter the original amount in the field.
  • To verify the accuracy of the overruled amount, right-click the field and select
    Acknowledge overruled data
    . The application then disables the acknowledge functionality from the right-click menu. To restore the original amount later, you will need to enter it manually.
  • If desired, you can set a user preference to mark fields for which you overruled the transferred amounts and to list all overruled amounts in the Diagnostics window.
Statements
Many data entry fields provide predefined statements in which you can enter additional information.
