Federal input screens

1040-PA Local Cities Setup window

Show all hidden content
Use this window to set up tax defaults for one or more local cities that you can then assign to any UltraTax CS/1040-PA client.
To open this window, select
Setup
,
1040 Individual
, the
Pennsylvania
 tab, then
Local Cities
. UltraTax CS/1040-PA includes every tax collection district. The tax collection district information links to the political subdivision code (PSD) code. After entering the City code, select a PSD code to populate the following fields:
Municipality Name
,
School District
 name,
Resident Tax Rate
 and
Nonresident Tax Rate
,
Estimate due dates
,
Payee
 and addresses for
Estimates
,
Balance Due
,
Refund
 and
Zero Balance Due
 returns, and
Due Date
.
note
  • To have UltraTax CS calculate the open client's return using the tax defaults you define for a local city, enter the city's code in the
    Taxing authority city code
     field in the EIT Screen.
  • To set up tax defaults for a new local city, select
    Add
    , enter a city code between 101 and 999 in the
    City code
     field, select the PSD code related with the city code (the remaining fields will fill in automatically), and select
    Enter
    . Some federal input screens include a
    City code
     field. When you enter
    PA
     in the
    State
     field, you can select the 3-digit city code from the
    City code
     dropdown. The city codes indicate what income applies to the
    Taxing Authority City code
     entered on the EIT Screen.
  • To edit the information for an existing local city, select the city in this list, then
    Edit
    . Edit the information, then select
    Enter
    .
  • For every city code entered in the federal W2, C, F, and K1 screens, UltraTax CS/1040-PA creates an EITInc screen. EITInc screens determine which tax rate to use on the return, and force income and payments to the local earned income tax return. A city code entered in the PA EITOth screen also creates an EITInc screen.
  • The penalty rate used is 1% per month or a fraction of the month. The interest rate used is the same as the interest rate used on the PA-40 return.
  • Depending on your security configuration, you might receive a prompt to enter the master password before you can open any entity type's tab. Also, the Pennsylvania tab only displays if you have installed UltraTax CS/1040-PA.
