1120 states

Enter pass-through entity tax (PTET) for an 1120 return

Show all hidden content

Overview

Federal 1040 Schedule A limits the itemized deduction for state income taxes paid to $10,000. However, some states let S corporations pay state taxes on behalf of a shareholder. The S corporation can then take an itemized deduction on Form 1120 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 S corporation 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 S Corporation 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 shareholder's tax return.
