Montana
CIT Combined
Sch K Combined
.
Review the parent Schedule K and each subsidiary Schedule K in the
Sch K (Sub)
folder.
For each member with Montana Numerator amounts, verify that there is an entry on Line 5(a),
Separate Entity Apportionment Factor
.
If Montana Numerator amounts exist but Line 5(a) is blank, override Line 5(a) with
NONE
. This can occur when the factor is too small to display within Montana's required number of decimal places.
