I need to know if Lacerte is handling Trust state income tax refunds correctly. I have a client that is being taxed on over $30,000 of state tax refund even though they only were able to deduct $10,000 of state income tax in the prior year on the form 1041.

    No they are not handling it correctly. Don't you have a Diagnostic saying they are not applying the tax benefit rule?

    The more I know the more I don’t know.

    I do not have that diagnostic.

    You'll need to apply the tax benefit rule and manually calculate the taxable refund amount, if any.
