Multi-State Allocation dialog

Enter allocation amounts in one place for all states

Use the Multi-State Allocation window to enter allocation amounts in one place for all states. UltraTax CS uses this information for income and deduction items subject to allocation.
You can use the following methods to allocate amounts to the states displayed in the Multi-State Allocation window.
  • Percentage:
     You can apply a standard percentage to all components within a specific state.
  • Amount:
     You can enter unique amounts for select components within a specific state.
  • Combination:
     You can allocate amounts using a combination of percentages and amounts.
To access the Multi-State Allocation window, open a 1040 or 1041 client and either select View, Allocation or select Allocation from within one of the input screens. Note that you'll need to have at least one state return attached to the open client.
