1065 K-1 State of Colorado Non-resident Partner

On the 1065 state return for Colorado, I am filing in the information for a partner that is a non-resident of Colorado. It is asking about a composite filing or need to file DR107 or DR108? I researched and I believe that none of these apply. It is a Non-resident partner, each of these forms says that the partnership will pay the tax. It should be paid by the partner on their individual tax return. Right?

Unless some exception applies I believe you will find that the partnership either needs to file a composite return and pay CO tax on behalf of the nonresident partners or withhold CO tax for the nonresidents. I go with the composite return since CO makes this easy.

I have filed this clients return before but with a different software. I have never been asked this before. So this information doesn't flow to the K-1 for each partner?

Whether a composite return is filed or tax was withheld should be disclosed on their CO K-1. I don't know if ProSeries does it automatically or if you need to enter it manually.
