2023 PA MA Calculation Challenge: 63d ELT lines 1 to 13
I received an email with regards to case which is yet to be resolved. I was told by your representative that this a calculation challenge which may or may not be accurate , yet this is the only direction I received. You state in the email that Mass ordinary income is entered from US line 22 and the instructions for 63d- elt does not contract the main form instructions. This is not the case, line 1 to 13 instructions state the amount should reflect the aggregate sum of the share of income the member have elected PTE. To me, this means that we can allocate the amount that we elected to be deem eligible for PTE. A perfect example is the client. We elected PTE entity for both mass and RI. RI is being calculated correctly and MA is taking the entire amount. The program should allow for modifications either on line1 or 12. Otherwise, the same income is being subject to PTE twice, once in RI and again in Mass, which should not be the case. Alternatively, we can elect MA PTE tax and pay the entire amount to Mass and zero to RI. This would result an overpayment for MA and underpayment for RI on the partner’s tax return, which make no sense and will be subject to penalties and interest for underpayment
