The $22,314 addition is an adjustment for bonus depreciation taken at the federal level.  Georgia does not recognize bonus depreciation, so it is added back to determine total income.  The $295 subtraction is the state depreciation.  The $436 loss is the amount of income/loss applicable to Georgia after the adjustments.  You will have to track your passive losses at the state level independently.

Thanks, @DavidD66!  I really appreciate your explanation.  I do have follow-up questions.

1.  Am I adjusting the depreciation from the GA-700 correctly on Turbotax?  The way I am understanding it, I need to make depreciation adjustments on my GA state return so Turbotax won't use the entire federal loss (due to bonus depreciation $22,455). 

• I entered $22,314 under Depreciation Adjustment Subtractions (to deduct from the federal bonus depreciation of $22,455)
• Then, I entered $295 under Depreciation Adjustment Additions (for the GA state depreciation).

2.  Where do I enter the -$436 of Total Income/Loss for Georgia Purposes?  I assume I need to enter it under the Rents, Royalties and K-1 Income.  I just need to track this passive loss manually moving forward.

Is Step1 above (depreciation adjustment) necessary?  Or can I just enter the -$436 of Total Income/Loss for Georgia Purposes?

Appreciate your guidance.

Thanks.

@jkm88  Both of those entries look fine.  Not an easy bunch of tax questions to deal with.  Good job.

Hi,

Thank you for the explanation regarding the form 700.

I too am in a real estate syndicate and received a form 700.  No Georgia (GA) tax was withheld.  My total income for Georgia purposes was negative.  However, when I enter this information into TurboTax my GA tax is positive.   Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks!

Since we can't see your return in this forum, if you could post a screenshot similar to the user above you, we'll try to help.

Hello @MarilynG 

Good evening.

I saw a section on the GA state return relating to Net Operating Loss.

Thinking should I be using this section to record my loss so I can use it in the future to offset any gain from the partnership?

The problem I am having is TT doesn't seem to support the GA 500-NOL form mentioned below.  I have to do it manually which is tough.  I am not a tax expert.

I think I figured out my problem.  Since this is the first time I am filing taxes in GA, I simply needed to enter my loss from my K1, then remove the bonus depreciation (federal depreciation adjustment) since GA does not allow for it and add back the state depreciation adjustment.  Once I did this, I ended up with an overall loss as reported in my GA Form 700 line "Total GA income."  I did not need to use the NOL carryover form since this is my first year.  I presume I will need to use NOL carryover next year because I am booking a loss with the state of GA for this year.

Hope this helps!

Per Alumni @IreneS:

"First enter the federal K-1.

Georgia does not have an actual entry for Form 700.  What you need to do is compare the amounts on the federal K-1 with the amounts reported on the GA 700.  Any differences will be reported on the GA return as additions to or subtractions from Georgia income.

To enter this information:
 

1. In your GA return go to the screen, Here's the income that Georgia handles differently.
2. In the Miscellaneous section click on Start/Revisit box next to either:

• Other Additions to Georgia Income -  Additions are items that get taxed on your Georgia return but not on your federal return and increase the income that Georgia will tax.
• Other Subtractions from Georgia Income - Income that is not taxable for GA purposes that was reported on your federal return.

Follow the instructions on the screens."

Thank you!

Hello @alta-tax1,

I think your explanation on not using GA NOL carryover this year might make sense.

Where did you enter your loss from K1, and how did you remove the bonus depreciation and add back the state depreciation?  Tried back the depreciation adjustments of $22,314 and subtracting $295 but it increased my amount due to GA.

Also, TT is telling me that I have $22,019 unallocated adjustments.  It seems the state return is not pulling the info from my federal K1 loss of $22,455.

That is correct, my state return did not pull in the correct info from my K1 entered on my federal return.  What I had to do was manually enter the loss myself as below circled in red:

On my form 700, the additions to GA income is bonus depreciation (i.e. $27364).  It is not called bonus depreciation I just figured that is what it was.  The Depreciation adjustment is what GA will allows you to take (i.e. $1051).  I entered those amounts in the screen titled: "Here's the income that GA handles differently"

I after I did all of this everything matched my form 700.

Hope this helps!

Thank you very much @alta-tax1 ! 😊

I really appreciate your help.

I think your explanation makes sense.  My GA state tax summary now matches my GA 700 form as well.

I guess good luck to us next year on filling that GA NOL Carryover form 🤣 Hopefully, Turbotax has a solution for this next year so I can continue using it.  Keep in touch, and hopefully, we can help each other again. 👍

Friends, I could really use your help.  I am also filing for GA non-resident tax for a real estate syndication.  I am a limited partner on this project.

I am using the Turbo Tax Amend to file for 2021. 

Please see below for my GA form 700.  And my questions, too.

 And please let me know what number I should fill out on Turbo Tax.

This is my first time doing this, and I am really lost...

Much appreciated!

The net on your Georgia NR return is a negative.  TurboTax should already have entered that for you since the depreciation adjustments that you show are correct.  So you'll just be reporting that you lost money this year.

@tony2921 

@tony2921 Checking to see if you were able to resolve your GA K1 problem.

I need to amend my 2021 returns and have been trying to tinker around how to enter the Georgia K1 form.

I posted this question on the forum last night.  Not sure if this is the correct way to do it.  I am still waiting for some feedback.

State Level K1 (GA) - Am I entering this the right way on TurboTax?

Would be curious to hear as well others' opinions/feedback.

Folks:

I am following on this thread and have a follow-up question.

How do you report passive losses from past couple of years for GA?

The manuevrs you mentoined in the earlier emails do they count as passive losses for 2023?

I tried doing this earier and gettor an error in SAchedule 3 because column A needs to equal columns B + C and that does not seem to match. Can you please elaborate?

Also, a CPA told me that NOL is not  the same as passive losses.  I  only see passive losses in the activitiy worksheet for that LLC part III item 6 but these do not seem to carry over to any form.

The CPA told me to use form 8582 to report the pasive losses and I am not sure if I can use the Federal 8582 and write GA  on it to report the passive losses for 2023 and the previous years. I was hoping to reconcile the informaiton to that on Form 700.

Hope you reply soon.

Thanks,

Folks:

I had similar issues with GA FOrm 700 on my K-1 for 20213 tax return.

I added the depreciation adjustments as you folks stated in the TT input,

However, when I enter the net GA income at the bottom of my GA700, (which are my passive losses)

it gives from an error in Schedule 3 since there is the sum of all the Fedral income (column A line 7 does not match income not taxable in GA: Col B line 7,  GA income.  There seems to be no way around this?

Would appreciate any help.
