Force amount to send with extension for Maryland PTE on a 1065
Asking Intuit to please correct the description on the input box for the forced amount to transmit with a partnership return. Hopefully this advice is helpful to prevent interest/penalties for unplanned underpayments.
To override the amount to send, it is NOT simply going to
General->Automatic Extension (7004)->State & Local "tax paid with this extension (override)."
This box should be relabled "Estimated Liability" as it feeds into box 1 of 510/511E NOT Box 3 (payment). The amount entered here not the actual payment. It is REDUCED BY the amount of estimated payments entered into the tax return, as well as prior year carry over if applicable. You'll need to do the math to ADDBACK those amounts (which will eventually flow to line 2 of the 510/511E), so that the amount PAID (box 3) is transmitted correctly.
Also, if you are making a PTE Election estimated payment, need to make sure to put
"irrevocable election for next year 1 = filing form 511" under state & Local - MD Estimates for next year.
And select file extension in the profile, in order to get the extension form to generate in the first place.
As always, to be 100% sure of the amount that will be transmitted with the extension, please check 510/511E form, line 3 on print preview.
That took WAY too much time today. Good luck.
