Enter real estate or nonresident withholding
Form 593, real estate withholding
You can enter withholding on Form 593 on both the federal Deduct screen and in the Beneficiary module. Enter the portion of withholding to distribute in the Beneficiary module and the portion to remain with the trust in the federal Deduct screen.
The California FTB only needs information from Form 593 (such as the withholding agent, seller or transferor, and escrow or exchange information) if you're filing the return electronically. UltraTax CS only includes this information in the electronic file; it doesn't print with the return.
note
- If you're not filing the return electronically, only enter the withholding amounts.
- If you're filing the return electronically, complete the CA 593 screen in the CA Payments folder (unless you're distributing all the withholding).
Withholding not distributed to beneficiaries
Use the federal Deduct screen to enter the portion of Form 593 real estate withholding that should stay with the trust. Enter the amount of withholding you are not distributing in the

CA. If you're filing the return electronically, go to the CA 593 screen in the 593 W/H folder and complete the necessary fields.
Withholding distributed to beneficiaries
To enter the portion of Form 593 real estate withholding to distribute to beneficiaries, select
View
, Beneficiary Information
, then the California
tab. Enter the withholding in the Pass-through withholding
field. For a simple trust or a final return, UltraTax CS allocates 100% of the state withholding to beneficiaries by default. To remove the default allocation, enter X
in the Final return or simple trust: Allocate credits, estate taxes, or state withholding between trust and beneficiaries
field on the federal Allocate screen. If you're allocating 100% of the withholding to the beneficiaries, don't use the CA 593 or federal Deduct screens.
- The California FTB doesn't want the 593 information when the withholding distribution is 100% (that is, when the withholding isn't on Form 541).
- The federal Deduct screen is only for withholding that doesn't distribute to the beneficiaries.
If you don't allocate 100% of the withholding to the beneficiaries, and you're filing the return electronically, complete the necessary fields on the CA 593 screen in the Payments folder. The withholding you enter on the 592B and 593 screens needs to add up to Form 541, line 31, for the return to pass electronic filing error checking.
Form 592-B, other withholding
A trust or estate could receive a Form 592-B from another pass-through entity and/or generated from the trust and given to the beneficiaries.
Form 592-B received
Enter Form 592-B withholding that was a payment for the estate or trust in the
State income tax withheld
field on the federal K1-3 screen. To move this amount from Form 541, line 29, to line 31, enter the withholding from Form 592-B in the Withholding to reclassify
field on the CA Pay screen. If you're allocating 100% of Form 592-B withholding to the beneficiaries (see the previous Withholding distributed to beneficiaries section), don’t use the CA 592B screen. The California FTB doesn’t want 592-B information when you distribute all Form 592-B withholding.
Generating Form 592-B
UltraTax CS completes Form 592-B based on the taxable income on Schedule K-1, column (e) for nonresident beneficiaries, or for instate source income on the Grantor Report.

For returns that you are filing electronically:
- Form 541, line 29 needs to equal the withholding you enter on the federal W2, W2G, and 1099R screens. If there's withholding from any other sources on line 29 (including interest and dividends), you'll need to file the return on paper.
- Form 541, line 31, needs to equal the withholding you enter on the CA 592B and CA593 screens. Use theWithholding to reclassifyfield on the CA Pay screen to make adjustments to line 29 and line 31. UltraTax CS subtracts the amount you enter in this field from line 29 and adds it to line 31.
Other withholding
Enter withholding that is a payment for the estate or trust, but not from Form 592-B or Form 593 on the federal 1099, Income, PayExt, W2, or W2G screens. Form 541, line 29, needs to equal the total of CA withholding you enter on the 1099, W2, and W2G screens for the return to pass electronic filing error checking. If you enter withholding on the Income or PayExt screen and don’t allocate it to beneficiaries, you need to file the return on paper. If you enter withholding on the 1099, W2, or W2G screens and allocate it to beneficiaries, you need to file the return on paper.
Nonresident withholding waiver request
There is a nonresident withholding waiver request available in the California Non Calculating folder.
