Partnership return apportionment of income for 20 states
I have a client who is a partnership of a larger partnership. Last year, they did business in 20 states, thus requiring me to file 20 state tax returns and do the apportionment accordingly. It would be very helpful, and a tremendous time saver, if ProSeries allowed me to put in the percentage that is allocable to each state, rather than requiring me to manually calculate all income and expense items to generate the state tax return.
Also, because the income is subject to apportionment, I will have numerous errors on the state returns if all states are like Arkansas. While I know how to file a return with errors, I prefer not to need to file a return with errors.
