Screen PASTCr - Pennsylvania Credit for Taxes Paid to Other States (1040)

Show all hidden content

Overview

Use this screen to complete Form PA-40 Schedule G-L, Computation of Credit for Taxes Paid to Other States or Countries.
If UltraTax CS is used to calculate another state’s return and it generates a credit for taxes paid to another state, UltraTax/1040-PA automatically includes a copy of that return. When filing on paper, a paper copy prints. When filing electronically, a portable document format (PDF) of the nonresident return is attached.

State Income and Tax Information

Use this section to complete Schedule G. While processing a multiple-state return, process the nonresident states first, then the resident state. UltraTax/1040-PA transfers from the nonresident returns to your resident return, the information that is necessary to complete the credit for taxes paid to other states. If processing a part-year Pennsylvania return, UltraTax/1040-PA doesn't calculate or transfer information from other returns. Use the force fields on this screen to calculate the credit.
Pennsylvania has reciprocity agreements with Indiana, Maryland, New Jersey, Ohio, Virginia, and West Virginia. When a nonresident Pennsylvania return is attached along with a reciprocal resident state, UltraTax/1040-PA omits the wages on the nonresident Pennsylvania return and continues with the calculation of the return when one of the
Resident state attached
 checkboxes have been marked on the PANRPY screen. UltraTax/1040-PA automatically prints copies of state returns when UltraTax CS is used to file nonresident states for which the credit for taxes paid to other states has been calculated.
For additional information, see Credit for taxes paid to another state calculation.
State postal code and state name
If you're using UltraTax CS to file a nonresident return, UltraTax/1040-PA automatically completes the
State postal code and state name
 fields for the nonresident return. If you aren't using UltraTax CS to file a nonresident return, enter the state postal code and UltraTax/1040-PA completes the
state name
 field.
Income and Adjustments: Calculated
If you are using UltraTax CS to file a nonresident return, UltraTax/1040-PA automatically completes the
Income and Adjustments: Calculated
 fields for your nonresident state return. Any item that is a loss is included in the calculation.
Income and Adjustments: Force
If you're using UltraTax CS to complete a nonresident return and claim this credit, enter the taxable income amounts from that state’s return in the
Force
 column. Use the Force column to enter the state taxable income amount if it's different from the calculated amount. If the Pennsylvania return includes K-1 being taxed by a nonresident state, use the Force columns to allocate the income to the appropriate Pennsylvania income classes.
Tax paid to other state: Calculated
If you're using UltraTax CS to file a nonresident return, UltraTax/1040-PA automatically completes the
Tax paid to other state
 field for your resident state return.
Tax paid to other state: Force
If you aren't using UltraTax CS to file a nonresident return claiming this credit, enter the tax paid from that state’s return in the Force column. Use the Force column to enter tax paid to another state if it is different from the calculated amount.
Source entity name
Enter the name of the entity for each source having income or loss attributable to the state shown on Part I, line 1. This field will update Schedule G-L, Part II, column A, line 1. If the income amounts are from more than 1 source and columns B through D are required, enter the information in the
Detail of income subject to tax in other states (Force)
 field found on this screen for the taxpayer and or spouse.
Detail of income subject to tax in other states (Force)
UltraTax CS automatically completes Schedule G-L, Part II when Schedule GL is printing and in Part II the

 field has data. When the statement attached to the force field is used, the source column and all applicable amount columns must be entered. Use the force fields to enter information different than what was calculated. This information is not required for taxpayers who only have wages subject to tax in more than 1 state or interest and dividends subject to tax in foreign countries.
