I prepare an 1120 S for a client who files in 25 states.  This was the first year I did a Montana return.

The K-1 came out with 100% ordinary income allocated to Montana even though there was zero sales, payroll or property in Montana.

I was on the phone with a Lacerte service rep.  I was able to fix this by going into screen 33 and putting a -1 in the two categories that the K-1 had an amount.  This zeroed out the income and related deductions.

My question is why should this have happened?  Since I put zeroes in all of the allocation categories for Montana, the allocation to Montana should have been zero.   I feel your program needs a revision.
