Retirement tax questions

The Pass Through Entity Elective Tax Payment Credit is when a pass through entity (partnership or S-Corporation) elects to pay the state tax for a partner/shareholder, and deduct it as business expense at the entity level.  It is an IRS approved way for partners and S-Corp owners to get around the $10,000 state and local tax deduction cap on Schedule A on personal tax return.  If the program will not let you move past this, I suggest you delete your Virginia state tax return and start it again.  To do so:

 

  1. Sign in and open a section of your return.
  2. From the menu, select State and then select Continue on the Let's get your state taxes done right screen.
  3. On the Status of your state returns screen, select Delete next to your state, then answer Yes.
