TT Business 2024 error flagged North Carolina Form D-403, p2: Part 2, Line B9

[Beeatkc]

TT business 2024 error check reported:

"Form D-403, p2: Part 2, line B9, ratio should not be entered directly on this line. To apportion income, complete the applicable lines 1-7, columns 1 and 2 and make sure the multistate apportionment box on the Information Worksheet, Part II is checked "yes" "

There are no out of state partners.  Therefore, no apportionment is needed and apportionment box should not be checked.

I entered all data using the interview mode. Same as last year.

Only changes from last year was income and expenses. 

How do I fix this error?

For reference

In forms mode for D-403 page 2

Part 2 - Apportionment Percentage QuickZoom to information Worksheet, Apportioning checkbox (activates Part 2B is NOT checked.

Partnerships Not apportioning Income Outside North Carolina  100.0000%  ( this field is not changeable and was empty for 2023 taxes)

TT is up to date.

Is this a software bug or did I enter something wrong?

I am having the same problem. It would be great if they could fix this ASAP as partnership returns are due in a couple of weeks.

I have submitted this to our developers for review.  We will post an update once the review is complete.

In reading the North Carolina tax code it says apportionment is for partnerships that do business inside and outside the state. It does not say anything about a partner outside the state. All business is done within the state. Am I reading this incorrectly? I don't think this partnership needs to complete apportionment. Does anyone else have any ideas?  I am just trying to complete the taxes for the partnership.

[XanderSherry]

That is correct.  It is for apportionment of revenue based on sales & income in the state divided by sales & income everywhere.  The location of the partners is not a factor.

This is a blocking issue for me as well. LLC Partnership in NC. Two Partners both in NC. All revenue from within NC. Form D-403, p2: Part 2, Line B9 throws error on "auto calculated value of 0.0000%" and cannot be blanked out. On Information Worksheet "Part II - Information Needed to Complete North Carolina Return" I have answered "No", when asked if "partnership is a multistate partnership apportioning income on Form D-403, Part 2". There does not seem to be a way past this issue... and the error message does not provide correct and clear guidance. These are the final hours before the return is due, TurboTax, could you please update us on a status for this issue that many of us customers are having... I am trying to determine if I should wait for you all or take this issue into my own hands. Thank you.

How it is blocking?   It will persist in the review tab, but you can simply click on the "File" tab at the top and ignore it.  You don't actually need to resolve it in order to complete the return and file; you'll just have that lingering issue if you navigate back to the review tab.
