State Allocation Incorrect?

Emm1234
Level 3

I have a client that was a full year resident of OK. However, he has O&G royalty income from 3 other states (And none from OK) LA, TX, and AR. I have allocated income by selecting next to each entry which state that income (and expense) should go to. When reviewing the forms, my AR and LA returns look to be allocating correctly. However, my OK return is showing all the O&G income (Including taking depletion). I entered the out of state income on the state modification screen, but this made my OK AGI negative because of the depletion, so I overrode the depletion to make it 0. Did I miss an allocation somewhere that would make this easier, or is this just the way to do it?? Even though I got the result I wanted, I think it would be helpful to learn if there is an easier/more correct way to do this. Thank you in advance.

Yes, you missed a checkbox. In the O&G screen, Property subscreen, check the Out of state property {OK} box.

OK taxes all of the OK resident's income. He gets a credit on the OK return for tax paid to other states.

That's not true for O&G. Backing it out as out of state income is the correct treatment.
