Hello,
I am a shareholder of a pass-through entity that made pass-through entity estimated taxes to the state of Virginia. My VK-1 correctly reflects this amount in Part III item 10.
I am using TurboTax Desktop to fill out my Virginia return. On Schedule CR, Part 6 and section 4/5 show the correct amounts.
TurboTax is automatically filling out Form 760C "Underpayment of Estimated Tax by Individuals, Estates, and Trusts". This form is calculating the underpayment for each installment period. With the PTET estimated tax payments in play, it should not be calculating penalties with the assumption that the individual tax payer didn't make the estimated tax payments. The payments that would have normally been made by me, were instead paid by the pass-through entity and I am claiming the refundable credit for those payments.
Is there a way to fix this behavior in TurboTax so that it doesn't include penalties in this scenario?
You can adjust the penalties to reflect the correct quarters, unfortunately TurboTax does not know about the PTEs on the individual return.
Could you please elaborate, what do you mean by: adjust the penalties to reflect the correct quarters?
You can go into the estimated payment area and annualize your income in order to reduce penalties if your income was higher in certain quarters as opposed to others.
I'm having the same issue. And annualizing my income doesn't help as it was steady throughout the year. My company (the PTE) made 4 equal quarterly PTET payments to Virginia on my behalf. It shows up as one total credit on my VK-1. So TurboTax is making it look like that one PTET payment occured in the 4th quarter and that there is underpayment penalty for not paying 4 payments (instead of 1). Also of note, I'm due a refund so its not like there is underpayment penalty because I owe.
