How to allocate Louisiana S-Corp Withholding Tax to Shareholders

My client is a NYS S-Corp in the film industry. They performed services in Louisiana for an unrelated film company based in Louisiana which withheld tax on a 1099-NEC. The income was under the exemption threshold so no corporate tax is due. How do I allocate the withholding tax to the shareholder in ProSeries since there is no LA K1.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Maybe you should file a Louisiana S Corp return even if not required. Then there will be a K-1 with withholding.

The more I know the more I don’t know.

Unfortunately, there is no S-Corp return or K1 for Louisiana since that state does not recognize S-Corp status.

Then file a Corporate return and get the withholding refunded. I don't see how the shareholder can claim it.

Obviously I only do Louisiana individual and partnership returns.  😀
