Abby Normal Posted March 13, 2016 Report Share Posted March 13, 2016 I emailed support about the MD 504 trust return calculating a negative local tax on line 18. I didn't bother to explain that it should be zero because THERE'S NO SUCH THING AS A NEGATIVE TAX. Today I get a long email explaining that math gives you a negative tax when you have a loss. I'll let you read it for yourself: Good Afternoon, I have your 1041 return open, I went to MD 504, K01 page 2 line 18, and I see it pink override. When I restore the field, I get -7. Line 18 states Local tax, multiply MD tax table from line 10 by .0240. Line 10 of MD 504, K-1 is -284x.0240= -6.816 round off to -7. If the tax is incorrect on line 18. If not to be -7, what is it suppose to be? How did you determine the Tax Table for line 18 is incorrect? Can you point me to where the % may be wrong. I searched MD State DOR found Talbot County 2.40% Again my total is still -7 (-700) for line 18. Please reply back to what I should be seeing, how much you think it should be. What do you see that I can't see? You may need to call us on Monday so we can remote and review return with you. Please reply back attention David with a break down of what it should be, what I need to look at that you found to be incorrect. I will attach a screen shot how you sent return to me, and how I restored it to show -7. My response was quite short and may have contained some caps and exclamation points. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jklcpa Posted March 14, 2016 Report Share Posted March 14, 2016 I'm sorry you are dealing with stupidity. That may be the winner of the most stupid response ever from a tech support person. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnH Posted March 14, 2016 Report Share Posted March 14, 2016 I'm in India right now. Get the tech support Guy's name and I'll look him up. Maybe have a chat about best practices. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
