Screen MEEst - Maine Estimates (1040)

Show all hidden content

Overview

Use this screen to complete portions of Form 1040ES-ME Voucher, Form 1040ME and the Maine Estimated Tax Payments Worksheet. If the information transferred from UltraTax/1040 does not require additional data or coding, UltraTax/1040-ME shows it on the form only, not in the input screen.
Enter state payments in the federal St Pmt Screen so the amounts transfer to federal Schedule A. If you enter payments for this state in more than one of the units provided in the St Pmt Screen, be sure to use the same fields for each unit. For example, if you use the
Total
 field in one unit, use the
Total
 field for all units that pertain to Maine. Similarly, if you use the
1st-5th payment
 fields, enter amounts in the payment fields for all units used for Maine.

Overpayment Application

Use this section to apply any overpayment to 's estimated tax payment.
Application of overpayment
These code options are the same as those in UltraTax/1040. They instruct UltraTax CS how to apply any overpayment. Your decision affects what is printed on the return and the calculation of 's estimated tax payments.
New clients and converted clients may benefit from global options. See Setup, 1040 Individual, and then Maine tab. Select the New Client Options button and enter the code, or codes with which newly created and converted client returns calculate. These fields transfer the global choice to newly created and converted clients. The transferred codes may be changed in these fields if necessary, without being overwritten by the global choice made in the Setup screen. These fields are proforma'd from year to year; therefore, only newly created and converted clients are affected by global options.
