income earned in Puerto Rico

Good afternoon!

I have a client who is a US resident and not a bona fide resident of Puerto Rico. He worked in PR for three months and received a 499R-2/W - 2PR and filed a PR tax return. The amount on the PR W2 was reported on the PR tax return and he paid a few more bucks.

My question is -- where in Pro Series and on the 1040 do I enter the 499R-2/W-2PR? There are no input worksheets in Pro Series that I can find. I know I can take a credit on the 1040 for the gross taxes paid to PR, but is it handled like any other foreign wages and taxes paid...i.e.form 1116?

What's throwing me off is the 499R-2/w and how to account for it in Pro Series.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks!

Since it is not a US W2, it will have to be entered as other income. The US does get a copy of the PR W2 so it will be matching up the income. It is foreign income and tax so the 1116 is correct.

Since it is earned income, 1040 line 1h, other earned income would allow proper placement for credits.

Check the Form 1116 Worksheet in ProSeries. Usually, there is a field there to "Link" income. If you enter the income directly into the Form 1116 "Foreign Wages" input area, ProSeries will often automatically push that number to Line 1h for you. This ensures the income and the credit are perfectly "synced."
