Generating a LA composite return in ProConnect Tax

In prior years, the Louisiana composite return was a separate filing type, and used form R-6922. Now the composite return has been incorporated into the main form (IT-565). Page 9 of the form is now Schedule 6922, and pages 10-12 report any credits attributable to the composite return. 

The program will complete Schedule 6922 when at least one partner is marked as filing a composite return.

To generate Schedule 6922:

1. From Partner Information, go to Partner Information and select the appropriate partner's tab from along the top of the workspace.
2. Scroll down to the Louisiana Information section.
3. Check the box for Composite Filer?
4. Repeat these steps for each partner who participates in the composite filing.
5. From State & Local, under Other Forms, go to LA Nonresident Agreement and select the appropriate partner's tab from along the top of the workspace.
6. Check the Generate agreement box for any individual nonresident partners who choose to file their own return in lieu of composite filing.

If at least one Louisiana nonresident is included on the composite return, and credits are used against composite tax, then ProConnect Tax will include all nonresident partners on the composite return.

Form IT-565, Schedules A and B

ProConnect Tax creates a Schedule A worksheet for each partner not participating in the composite filing.

Each partner participating in the composite return will generate a Schedule B worksheet, instead. 

Revenue account required for e-file

We can’t e-file returns without a Louisiana revenue account number. If your client doesn’t have one yet, they should go to the LaTAP website to register and receive a revenue account number.
