Question

Reporting interest income

Taxpayer, a trust, received a Form 1099-INT reporting interest received that included a source that is taxable for Federal income tax purposes, but exempt from California income tax.  Can this be entered on the Form 1041 Schedule 1099-INT Worksheet so that the proper amounts will flow to the Federal and California tax returns or does an adjustment have to be made on the California Form CA-541 and, if so, where would that adjustment be made in ProSeries?

Thank, Lisa.  However, I'm not sure if I explained the problem correctly.  As an example, the client received a Form 1099-INT showing $1,000 in Box 1. This will flow the $1,000 to the state (California) tax return.  However, of the $1,000, the sum of $900 was from California bonds that are taxable for Federal Income Tax purposes, but Exempt from California in come tax.  The solution you suggested will not work in the example I just provided.

Why is CA bond interest taxable on the federal return?

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