Eli Posted April 13 Report Share Posted April 13 Good evening. I am trying to file a Montana Non-Resident state return. Taxpayer earned $5648 of his 130K in Mt. It says he owes $6100+ in taxes. I have already specified he earned the 5648 & has WH of $319. Anyone familiar with MT taxes? Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jklcpa Posted April 13 Report Share Posted April 13 Have you included the nonresident/part-year ratio schedule in the return? That ratio from the schedule would be applied to the overall MT tax on all income so that the tax is reduced to the same ratio that the MT income represents of the total income. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kathyc2 Posted April 13 Report Share Posted April 13 Did you fill out tax schedule page 8 of form 2 to indicate MT source income? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for responding. I don't see any Non-resident nor part-year resident forms in the Mt state section in forms. I have 4 other states included & they all have those forms available.

Eli Posted April 14 Author Report Share Posted April 14 I'm pretty certain there's a form missing or I'm missing a click somewhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kathyc2 Posted April 14 Report Share Posted April 14 Page 8 is where you enter MT source income. You entered 130K as MT income. Column B is for spouse MT income, not the total of MT income. Put the 5648 in Column A. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrewOne Posted April 14 Report Share Posted April 14 obviously the income ratio should not be .94--if $5,648 was in Box A, Lines 1 and 16, you'd get the correct result. ah, kathy beat me to it 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
