FOR THE SUGGESTION BOX: NH-1120 & DP-80 (APPORTIONMENT)

[Taxes-by-Rocky]

IN NEW HAMPSHIRE, FORM NH-1120 MUST BE PAPER FILED.

WHEN THE APPORTIONMENT TO NH IS "0.0000" [MBS SOURCING / SALES FACTOR] THE FORM DP-80, THE APPORTIONMENT SCHEDULE, DOES NOT PRINT WITH THE RETURN IN PROSERIES (I.E., IT'S NOT IN THE DEFAULT SET - LOGIC WOULD TELL YOU THAT IT DOES NOT NEED TO BE IF THE APPORTIONMENT FACTOR IS ZERO).  HOWEVER,......

....ON AT LEAST THREE RECENT OCCASSIONS, WHEN THE DP-80 IS NOT FILED WITH THE PAPER RETURN, THE NH DRA AUTOMATICALLY APPORTIONS TOTAL FEDERAL INCOME TO NH (AFTER FED/STATE ADJUSTMENTS) AND COMPUTES A NH TAX.  THEY ALSO SEND THE TAXPAYER A NOTICE FOR SAME TELLING THEM THAT THEY OWE OR, IF THEY SEND FORM DP-80, THE NH DRA WILL CORRECT THE TAX COMPUTATION (NOTICE).

CAN PROSERIES SIMPLY SET UP THE PROGRAM TO DEFAULT PRINT THE DP-80 ANY TIME THERE ARE AMOUNTS ON IT?  [NOTE:  THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE PL 86-272 EXCEPTION CHECK BOX ON FORM NH-1120].

P.S.  YES, A RETURN WAS REQUIRED TO BE FILED - FOR THOSE WONDERING.

THANK YOU IN ADVANCE.
