State partnership return

[Lauren]

I am working on a partnership return that needs to file multiple state returns because it is invested in other partnerships which have reported state income.  I know exactly how much income is attributable to each state but Proseries is trying to apportion income based on one factor or three factor allocation (neither of which is applicable).

How do report directly allocated state income instead of apportioning the partnership income?

Most states require you to apportion income instead of allocating. Read each state instructions.

The instruction specifically say that if the state income is so distinct it can be separately accounted for then only that income should be reported.
