Tnx Patricia, I experimented, removed the AL K-1 gain/income fields. The AL tax due droped to near zero. The Fed k-1 info did not flow.
BUT I maybe in a special scenario that TT does not handle. This is a sale of a business located in AL, but I live in GA, and AL levies its OWN (significant) cap gain tax on businesses sold in state. IE this sale and some income is located in AL and subject to AL taxation, not GA and the Fed is handled by the 1065 k-1 entered at the Fed level.
The Fed 1065 k-1 does not have a per state sub-fields and not sure if the k-1 form is designed to handle that and the TT 1065 k-1 questionaire did not ask what state the business is located in.
The business 1065/k-1/AL k-1 was produced by a CPA with terse instructions to enter the AL k-1 ONLY at the AL state return level.
You might understand that CPA instructions might be easier heard then actually implemented. I just guessed, directed edited some AL forms blabla and got the AL taxes due equal to what the CPA suggested they should be. I'm forced to just run with my current entries.
This thread hopefully is a help to others with unique per state taxes that don't flow from the Fed k-1.
Thanks all and good luck filing!!!
