Hi! - This questions is specific to my federal tax return. I am part of a partnership where we contribute to the PA Educational Improvement Credit Program. My portion was $14k. My FEDERAL K-1 lists 10% ($1,400.00) in box 13"A", and the other 90% ($12,600.00) in box 13"ZZ". The $1,400.00 is included as a charitable deduction and the $12,600.00 should be included in Schedule A Line 5A - State and Local Taxes (The IRS published a safe harbor for certain individuals who make a charitable contribution and receive a state tax credit. Under the safe harbor, an individual may treat as a payment of state taxes the portion for which a charitable contribution deduction is or will be disallowed under the final regulations. This amount is reflected in Box 13 Code ZZ and should be reported on Schedule A Line 5A)...I have been struggling trying to figure out how to mechanically get the $12,600.00 onto Schedule A Line 5A. It won't change my taxes because of the $10,000.00 limit, but I want to record it properly. Anyone know how to do this? I've wasted so much time already trying to figure this out. Thanks!!!!!
