MN 70301 Bonus Addback – Line 2b Not Populating (State Depreciation Basis = $0)

After the 2/13 update, Federal reviews clean. Minnesota return fails review due to an issue on the "Adjustments to Federal Taxable Income (FTI) Smart Worksheet."

Details:

  • Line 2a (Sec. 70301 bonus addback) is correct and equals exactly 60% of federal bonus depreciation (from Federal Form 4562).

  • Line 2b ("Amount of allowable depreciation for assets on 2a") shows 0 and triggers an error stating the amount must be less than zero.

  • The field cannot be edited.

On the State Depreciation Worksheet:

  • Asset is listed.

  • Placed-in-service date is correct.

  • Addback amount is correct.

  • However, State Cost/Basis = 0 and State Depreciation Amount = 0.

It appears the MN addback is calculated, but no state depreciation basis or 5-year recovery is being generated, which leaves Line 2b at zero.

Is this a known issue? Is there a way to re-trigger state asset generation without overriding worksheets?

Thanks.
