The Partnership I'm working on is based in KY but the property that is rented is located in IN. I need to report that income to IN on a K-1. How do I do that in ProSeries? I've found NO articles.

Has the partnership filed a Form IT-65, Indiana Partnership Income Tax Return?

[owenstaxky]

No, they file a KY Partnership return.

Me thinks they need to file IN, too. Nexus.

[owenstaxky]

No, they are supposed to provide federal K-1 and an IN K-1 to the partners. I just don't know how to do it in ProSeries. They wouldn't file an IN Partnership return because their Partnership was formed in KY.

[BobKamman]

That's something like saying a Los Angeles resident doesn't have to file a California return because she was born in Albuquerque.

Working in Galilee no longer requires paying tax in Bethlehem.

It's a partnership so the Partnership files a KY return and the IN income is passed to the partners via a K-1 and the IN income is claimed on their personal return. Each partner files a KY return and an IN return.

So, you're advising your client just to ignore these instructions from Indiana?

Who Must File and When
Partnerships conducting business within Indiana must file an annual
return (Form IT-65) and information returns (Schedule IN K-1)
with the Department of Revenue. These forms must disclose each
partner’s distributive share of the partnership income distributed or
undistributed. These forms are due on or before the 15th day of the
4th month following the close of the partnership’s tax year.
Enclose with Form IT-65 the first five pages of the U.S. Partnership
Return of Income, Form 1065 or 1065B. Also enclose Schedule M-3.
Federal Schedules K-1s should not be enclosed but must be made
available for inspection upon request by the department.
Any partnership doing business in Indiana or deriving gross income
from sources within Indiana is required to file a return. In addition,
any partnership that has partners residing in Indiana is required to
file a return, even if the partnership is not doing business in Indiana.
For Indiana adjusted gross income (AGI) tax purposes, the term doing
business generally means the operation of any business enterprise or
activity in Indiana, including but not limited to the following:
• The maintenance of an office, a warehouse, a construction
site, or another place of business in Indiana;
• The maintenance of an inventory of merchandise or material
for sale, distribution, or manufacture, or consigned goods;
• The sale or distribution of merchandise to customers directly
from company-owned or -operated vehicles when the title of
merchandise is transferred from the seller or distributor to
the customer at the time of sale or distribution;
• The rendering of a service to customers in Indiana;
• The ownership, rental, or operation of a business or property
(real or personal) in Indiana;
• The acceptance of orders in Indiana with no right of approval
or rejection in another state;
• Interstate transportation; or
• The maintenance of a public utility.

Oh thanks! I hadn't seen those instructions and I searched ProSeries help. I even called them and no one could tell me how to produce the IN K-1. I would never have my client ignore those directions, I just did not know how to do it.

General rule- Property, Payroll, Sales in a state means you're likely to have to file in that state, no matter where the business was formed.
