How to enter Utah PTE in Lacerte

If an entity filing as a partnership or S-corporation generates voluntary taxable income, that entity may elect to pay an advance Utah income tax payment on voluntary taxable income on behalf of each individual partner, member, or shareholder who would otherwise be entitled to a distribution of that income. This election can only be made on behalf of individual partners, members, or shareholders, and if the election is made, it applies to all of the entity’s individual partners, members, or shareholders.  The election cannot be made on behalf of partners, members, or shareholders, who are an entity, estate, or trust.

On the individual tax return level, you may claim a credit equal to the amount of tax paid on your behalf by a pass-through entity to Utah under §59-10-1043.2(2), as shown on your K-1 from the pass-through entity.
