CAN I DO Puerto Rico FEDERAL AND STATE TAXES?

[sjrcpa]

Are you licensed in Puerto Rico?

[ivelissantos8-gm]

WELL I DON'T LIVE IN PUERTO RICO, BUT IM LICENSED IN THE UNITED STATE.

[sjrcpa]

Puerto Rico requires those that prepare Puerto Rico income tax returns to be licensed in Puerto Rico, so no you can't.

Even if you were, I don't think the software has the Puerto Rico returns.

What's all the shouting about?  We aren't in Puerto Rico so we are close enough to hear you just fine.

 BUT I THOUGHT WE CAN DO FEDERAL, I WAS JUST WONDERING, I'M NEW WITH THIS PROGRAM.

[sjrcpa]

Yes you can prepare federal 1040 and 1040NR.

I thought you were asking about Puerto Rico tax returns.

[ivelissantos8-gm]

SO EVEN IF THEY ARE LIVING IN PUERTO RICO, I CAN DO THE FEDERAL TAX RIGHT, I HAVE PEOPLE THERE ASKING ME THATS WHY.

[sjrcpa · Accepted solution]

If they are filing 1040, yes.

If they have to pay tax to Puerto Rico you cannot file those returns.

Thank You.
