Generate Ohio City Returns for Business Returns (Partnership Corporations and S-Corporations)

The same initial setup is used for all types of Ohio city returns (whether CCA, RITA Form 27, Columbus Form BR-25, or generic forms).

1. Once OH is added in the State Inventory in Screen 1, Client Information, cities can be added by clicking Add Cities.
2. Set up each city in the applicable city input screen;
   • Corporate Screen 50.128
   • Partnership  Screen 43.129
   • S-Corporation  Screen 48.121
3. Enter income and deductions in the federal input screens.
   • Adjustments to federal income are calculated automatically, based on Federal input; enter city-specific entries and overrides in the city input screen, in the section Apport/Misc/Adjust (for all cities) or in the sections for Additions and Subtractions (for each city).
4. Enter apportionment factors in the city input screen in the section for Apport/Misc/Adjust.
   • Apportionment is applied after adjustments to federal income are made; the resulting income is taxed to the city.
5. Enter estimated tax payments in Ohio Cities Apportionment, Miscellaneous, Adjustments section (for Columbus and RITA) or on the screen for that specific city in the Section for 20xx Estimated Tax (for CCA and other cities). Enter estimate information for the next year in the same screen.

Note: Lacerte has a limit of 22 cities per return.  A pop-up message will appear if more are added.  There are two options for returns that have more than 22 Ohio cities:

1. After preparing and printing/filing the first 22 cities, remove the cities from the return and add the next subset of cities.
2. You can make multiple copies of the returns, each with subset of the cities.
