I reviewed 2 of my returns. The letter properly separates the PTET and the tax due.

 

OTOH, I saw this posted over on caltax

 

I use ProConnect Tax Online, but I’ve also heard Lacerte and other software users asking the same thing. My software lumps together the 2021 CA business tax owed (ex. S corp) and 2021 CA business PTE tax payment as a lump sum (ignore estimates). It files the 3804 with the return, so I would like to assume it’s handled properly. Can anyone confirm their software is applying these payments correctly when filing with the 2021 business tax return?
