jshtax Posted April 1, 2015 Report Share Posted April 1, 2015 I have a client that is a member of a partnership that filed composite returns. One of the lovely ATX upgrades this year is that Georgia other state taxes paid credit form is disabled unless you add the other states to the return and then calculate the state income forms. I WILL NOT NOR SHOULD I HAVE TO DO THIS TIME CONSUMING STEP. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kcjenkins Posted April 2, 2015 Report Share Posted April 2, 2015 Not aware of the problem, been several years since I did any GA returns, but is the credit amount significant? If so, then adding the other forms still makes sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jshtax Posted April 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2015 About $7500. In years past you just put other state gross income on form then amount of tax paid. Now it appears you have to calculate each state separately for it to flow over to the form then you still have to enter taxes paid. Problem is you shouldnt have to do this since they are composite returns and taxpayer isn't required to file but is allowed the credit and itemized deduction.

kcjenkins Posted April 2, 2015 Report Share Posted April 2, 2015 My guess is that the state decided they wanted more detail before allowing the credit, In which case, the software is not the problem, the real problem is probably too many cheaters found it easy to give themselves an extra credit without much more than an entry on a line. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
