Entering Illinois AGI, additions, and subtractions in Lacerte

In Screen 51.071, Illinois Modifications, enter an amount in Adjusted gross income[A] to adjust Federal Adjusted Gross Income on the Illinois income tax return.

Per the Illinois instructions: If you have a federal NOL this year, you may write a negative amount on Line 1. However, you must reduce that amount by any NOL that you carry back to prior years. If you deducted an NOL carryforward on your federal return for this year, the amount on Line 1 should be your federal adjusted gross income computed without deducting the NOL carryforward, minus the amount of “Modified Taxable Income” on Line 9 of the federal Worksheet for NOL Carryover found in Table 1 of IRS Publication 536, Net Operating Losses (NOLs) for Individuals, Estates, and Trusts.
