Enter a pass-through entity tax (PTET) credit for a 1065 return
Show all hidden content
Federal 1040 Schedule A limits the itemized deduction for state income taxes paid to $10,000. However, some states let partnerships pay state taxes on behalf of a partner. The partnership can then take an itemized deduction on Form 1065 for state income taxes paid that's not subject to the $10,000 limit. As a result, the amount of federal income that passes through from the entity reflects an itemized deduction for the entire amount of state taxes paid. The overall taxable income that the individual taxpayer reports on Form 1040 is then less than if the partnership had not paid taxes on behalf of the Individual.
States that allow these pass-through entity tax (PTET) credits provide a means to calculate a tax at the partnership level using:
- a separate tax form (similar to a composite return), or
- fields within the main return designed to calculate a tax.
The state's K-1 (or equivalent) will include reporting information required to prepare the partner's tax return.
