Set up state data sources

The setup area for State Data Sources gives you the control to manage the data source of each item for each quarter as well as first and second extensions. You can rollover state data source selections from year to year.
Data Source selections include the following:
  • Calculated in Federal Review (Federal Taxable Income)
  • Tax Provision
  • Entry
  • Prior Quarter (if 2nd, 3rd or 4th Quarter)
  • Income Tax Current Year (1 year back from Estimated Payment year)
  • Income Tax Prior Year (2 years back from Estimated Payment year)
  • State Apportionment
State data source items correspond to each data entry section. Addition, Subtraction, Increase, and Decrease sources are defined at the item detail level.
