Ohio taxpayer received a California K-1 showing $1,932 estimated tax payment was made by the partnership. K-1 says to report on line 82 of tax return and write "Group Return Payment" and the partnership's FEIN to the left of the amount on line 82. I see how to report the amount on line 82, but how do I include the Group return payment and the FEIN to the left of line 82?
Yes, I have a 592-B showing $1,715 was withheld. That amount goes on line 83 of the return. In addition the partnership (a national law firm that operates in a majority of states) withheld an additional $1,932 and reported it on the K-1 as a footnote saying "additional amount of tax withheld on your behalf: To ensure proper credit for the estimated tax payments on your individual return, you should write "Group return payment" and the FEIN to the left of the amount on line 82 of your individual 540NR return". The additional tax withheld was $1,932. I was able to report the amount on line 82, but was not able to include the reference to group return payment and the partnership's EIN. I filed the return. California sent my client a letter saying he owes tax because they don't recognize the $1,932 that I reported on line 82. So how does Lacerte say to include reference to the group return payment so California can recognize the payment?
I have no idea. I think the partnership did it wrong.
For your CA issue, I would send them the K-1 and an explanation.
