S-Corp shareholder (only shareholder) reported $100k excess distribution in 2020.  He has $250k net incomes in 2021.  So, his outside basis = $350k.   In Lacerte's M-2 ending balance = $350k while Balance Sheet, sch L is $100k less.  Is this correct? Also, shareholders basis computation report does include this $100K excess distribution in stock basis at year end.

Yes, my Lacerte is updated.  Taxpayer is in accrual basis.  Did not pay PTEE before 12/31/2021. When checked “state accrual option 1”, unpaid PTEE due will carryover to form 1120S. When use “option 2” and enter state taxes in “deduction “, form 1120S is fine.  But, Sch M-1 is off. Do we have to do everything manually for this?    
S-Corp will elect CA PTEE for 2021.  But, they did not pay any amount in 2021.  So, federal tax return will not include this PTEE paid on 3/15/2022 to be included in 2021 form 1120S. But, when I che... See more...

But, when I check the "election" box for this S-Corp, form 1120S Line 12, taxes and licenses, automatically add the unpaid PTE.  How can I adjust this error? Is there somewhere in the module that I can override it? Thanks.

Taxpayer received 1099-LTC that has $19,000 on box 1, and box 3 "reimbursement amount" is checked.  this is a qualified contract. Total caregiver expenses paid by taxpayer are over $25,000. Should we file form 8853 Sec C for this nontaxable reimbursement? From form 8853 instructions, sounds only if payments are made on a per diem or other periodic basis needs to complete Sec C. If we do not file this form, will IRS question taxpayer later? Thanks.

Taxpayer purchased rental property late Oct 2021.  They did some improvement and had cleaning/utilities expenses.  They found tenant and start renting on 1/15/2022. For 2021, can we report $0 rent, depreciation, and rental expenses on Sch E? Or, no Sch E in 2021? Thanks.  
Is CA form 3804-CR ready in Lacerte S-corp? If not, when will Lacerte be able to generate this form for each shareholder?
Thanks
Taxpayers purchase tankless water heater for $950.  They received $600 rebate from So Cal Gas Company. To calculate 10% credit, do I use $350 as their costs?  Or, use original amount of $950?
Yes, it is a qualified nonrecourse loan for this LLC.  But, is this type of mortgage interest expenses subject to Reg 1.861 allocation?  (hence, report on line #40?)

Thank you for the information.  Tried to read reg 1.861-9T, 1.861-10T, and 10(e)... But, still do not fully understand them. Can you help to see which Line (on Sch K-2) I should use to report mortgage interests paid (to an U.S. Bank) by this domestic LLC, whose only source incomes/expenses are domestic residential rentals? LLC has no foreign incomes/taxes/expenses, directly or indirectly.  But, one partner has foreign investment incomes & foreign tax credit in his form 1040. Again, thanks.
Sorry, I do not understand the differences between Ln#39 - Reg1.861-10(e) and Ln#40 - Reg1.861-10(T). Does anyone have idea which Reg does mortgage interest expenses belong to?

A domestic LLC (leasing company) that has no foreign source incomes/expenses paid or taxes.  Their only incomes are from rental activities.  Have mortgage interests and other expenses on form 8825.   Where do I report mortgage interests paid to US Bank on Sch K-2, part II, sec 2-Deductions? Should I report it under line #40 – other interest expenses under Reg 1.861-10T? Or, should I include in Line #34 – allocable rental expenses other than depreciation…?
Forgot to mention that it has been rented since 2010.  So, I should allocate only 50% depreciation/other expenses for tax year 2021?

Taxpayer owns a residential rental property.  In 2021, they used personally from Jan to June (adult kids lived there) and rented from July to December (is still renting out right now.) How should we depreciate the property and report rental expenses?  Should we prorate based on the % of personal usage vs tenant occupied?

Lacerte applied excess PTE payment to cover 2021 CA income taxes short.  And applies remaining balance to 2022 min taxe ($800).  Is this correct?

S-corp client received 1099-Div from Fidelity.  How do I report these dividends in S-corp's tax return so it will be shown in shareholder's K-1? Thanks.

Does anyone know if Lacerte will update nontaxable EIDL advances for CA business?
