Screen NYEst - New York Estimates (1040)

Show all hidden content

Overview

Use this screen to complete Forms IT-201, IT-203, IT-2105, and the New York Estimated Tax Payments Worksheet. If information transferred from UltraTax/1040 doesn't require additional data or coding, UltraTax/1040-NY shows it on the form only, not in the 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 1 of the units provided in the federal St Pmt screen, make 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 New York. Similarly, if you use the
1st - 5th payment
fields, enter the amounts in the
1st - 5th payment
fields for all units used for New York.

Overpayment Application

Use this section to apply any current year overpayment to next year's estimated tax payment.
Application of

The code options available in this field are the same as those in UltraTax/1040. They instruct UltraTax CS how to apply any current-year overpayment. Your decision affects what is printed on Page 4 of the return and the calculation of next year's estimated tax payments. Go to the NYUBTEst screen to enter information for New York City Unincorporated Business Tax estimates. New clients and converted clients may benefit from global options. Select
