Question

I can find on form 3800 where the allowable credit would be limited by sect 383, but I don't find how to override line 17 so it reduced what is on front of 1120?

Screen 28, way down at the bottom:

Section 383/384 Limitation

MiscellaneousScreen 28; Code 498

Enter any limitation on the amount of the general business credit that can be applied due to ownership change. Or, enter the limitation on the use of pre-acquisition excess credits of one corporation to offset the tax attributable to recognized built-in gains of another corporation. Attach a computation of the allowable general business credit. Use the next field, “IRC section for limitation: 1=383 (default), 2=384” (Screen 28.1, code 499) as necessary to designate the appropriate verbiage to print, such as “Sec 383” or “Sec 384.”

Thanks, I've tried that and it isn't pulling through to form 3800. I tried o. the usual -1 and the amount of credit that is being computed. ????

Are you saying the allowable is zero?
I entered -1 for limitation and r the 1 =383 in the next entry for IRC section for limitation and got a zero.
