Screen LAAmend - Louisiana Amended Return (1040)

Overview

Use this screen to file an amended Louisiana tax return and to complete the R-540X, Louisiana Amended Return Information Sheet. UltraTax CS uses the information entered in this screen to complete column A, as originally reported. UltraTax CS automatically enters data for the worksheet’s column C, Correct amount, based on the current and active taxpayer data in UltraTax/1040. UltraTax CS then compares column C with column A to calculate column B, Net change.
Enter any information from the original return that is different from what is currently being reported.
