State Taxability of 6252 Interest Payment

Maxine
Level 4

 

I have always followed the rule that interest received is taxed by the taxpayer's home state.  However this one is giving me a headache.  Taxpayer's inherited an installment sale of farm ground in a different state.  I have all of the information needed to file the 6252, no problem there.  However the buyer (who is out of state) issued them a 1099int for the interest portion and since that is a part of the installment sale income should it go on the non-resident state return with the principle portion or is it income to the home state.  Thanks for any advice, I need to get this finished off and out the door.

I don't do MO and I try to avoid IA whenever possible, but the interest sounds like it would be considered source income in the state where the sale took place.

I think it might depend on the state, and it might make a difference that this was a business (farm) rather than, for example, a private residence or raw land.

Yes it was a farm.  I know when they came in last fall and I calculated an estimated tax payment for MO, I only incuded the principal portion thinking that the interest would be taxable to IA (home state).  Now I am doubting myself since the interest is part of the installment agreement from MO.
