Generating Louisiana composite and PTE return in ProSeries

New for Tax year 2024

Beginning in tax year 2024, it's no longer possible to prepare both the Louisiana IT-565 and the CIFT-620 in the Partnership Module. You will need to prepare the IT-565 in the Partnership program. 

To prepare the Louisiana Forms CIFT-620, R-6980, R-6981, and R-6892, go to the Louisiana Corporation & S-Corporation program in the S-Corporation product.

For Tax year 2023

In prior years, the Louisiana composite return was a separate filing type, and used form R-6922. During tax year 2023, the composite return was incorporated into the main form (IT-565). Page 9 of the form being Schedule 6922, and pages 10-12 report any credits attributable to the composite return. 

ProSeries will complete Schedule 6922 when at least one partner qualifies for filing a composite return.

To generate Schedule 6922:

1. Open the Louisiana Partnership Information Worksheet.
2. On Part II - Tax Year Information and Filing Information check the No box for Entity is filing a pass-through entity (PTE) tax election for this tax year.
3. On the Schedule K-1 Worksheet ProSeries will automatically check Yes or No based on the tax instructions for all partner types except for a Disregarded Entry.
   • If a Disregarded Entry is not marked as a corporate partner the Include in composite return box must be manually completed.
4. The Schedules A or B will automatically calculate and the Schedule 6922 will automatically complete.

Generating form CIFT-620:

The process for generating a Louisiana corporate income tax return for electing PTEs is the same as in prior years.

1. Open the Louisiana Corporation Information Worksheet.
2. Scroll down to Part II - Information Needed to Complete Louisiana Corporation Return.
3. To generate the R6980 check Yes to Entity is filing initial pass-through entity (PTE) tax election in the current year.
4. To generate the R6981 check Yes to Entity has already filed a pass-through entity (PTE) tax election.
